No, that is not what I said. I said calling it privilege only stands as a reason to vilify a group. Whether or not you choose to do that is up to you. You and many others seem to have taken the tact of creating a sense of responsibility to those who you deem to be privileged based on something they have had zero control over - their name, gender or ethnic backgrounds.

The focus of anyone interested in social equality should be to raise those with disadvantages up, not to impart a sense of blame and responsibility on those who fall into Peggy McIntosh's definition of privileged.

Recognising and providing support for those who are disadvantaged achieves that. Blaming those who do not have these disadvantages as if there's a concerted effort to screw the disadvantaged is great if you want to encourage victimhood and a lack of self determination for those you're attempting to help.
I believe we're talking about a function such as std::vector::operator[]. You wouldn't usually be debugging a particular attempt to access an element of a vector, you'd have a vector and want to easily see what's in it, using a debugger-constructed call to the function.
Yep, and I think that if NPE's annoy the courts too much, that's exactly what you'll see happening.
It's a wash. To understand that thing you posted, I'd have to look up what the exclamation point does to "yield", why adding it forces you to repeat the function name, and whether those "|>" sequences are typos or some weird operator. The other version has some random StudlyCaps, I have to look up. Meh.
Why don't you train one or two and take a percentage of their salary? That way, they don't pay up front, you prove your hypothesis, and companies get more employees. Everyone wins. Also, try not telling people upfront that you did a bootcamp, there is no net benefit (some companies refuse to hire from them, and others are like 'meh').

Anandtech had a nice recent article on server memory types and costs: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7479/server-buying-decisions-m... (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7044992). It prompted me to go through and do some math.

If you want to cram as much RAM in a server as practical, you'll currently be using 32GB LRDIMM's which currently cost ~$600 ($20/GB). Some dual-processor motherboards will take 24 of them (3 ranks * 4 channels * 2 processors) for a 768 GB total: http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/xeon/c600/x9d...

(The 1.5TB description for the board presumes the soon to be released 64GB LRDIMMS.)

This would be $15000 for just the 768GB of RAM. Let's guess another $5K for the rest, so $20K for the machine. At 20GB of dedicated RAM per VPS, you can fit ~40 of them on the machine. $20K / 40 = $500. Since this ignores power and connectivity, I think you'll be waiting a while for a $5 month plan. Although perhaps you could overprovision and swap out a lot?

Viewed alternatively, the sweet spot for selling RAM does not involve putting as much of it as you can in a single machine. You'd cut the cost of your RAM per GB a lot (down to about $10/GB) if you stuck with older lower density RAM put a bunch of low price blade servers in a single box.
One Year Ago, Aaron Swartz Killed Himself And No One’s Talking About Depression
The author's main observation is that with a non-functional approach one has to avoid any kind of intra-frame pollution of object data by keeping a list of all changes then applying all of those changes atomically as a final step. This doesn't seem like it has any obvious drawbacks, the simulation algorithm defines all objects updating at once, so it's not unnatural in an OO-world to have this "update step".

The Author calls this universal update step a "fix" and then goes on to say that a functional approach would avoid it, but in reality never explains why a problem exists in the first place.
Regarding security and access, OS is still not that good unfortunately. V3 api should have a better access control, but it's still far behind Amazon's ACLs unfortunately.

Do you really want to deal with all the hardware yourself though? Juggling failing disks, dealing with system upgrades, managing edge of the network, debugging strange one-off issues that sometimes require firmware updates, backup power systems, etc. ? Any cloud provider is better/cheaper unless you need multiple racks and hire people to manage them.

I downvoted you because of the tone of your post, but I do tend to agree with you - almost everything about LLDB strikes me as pretty crappy, although unfortunately the same applies to GDB. In this case, LLDB is no better:

That has more to do with type theory directly. So far the lectures have been a great intro to constructive logics which while build to type theory and dependently typed languages, but that's not necessarily the thrust of HoTT.
No. I have a printer and PC at home.

They are just exploiting the flawed rating system. If users are encouraged by the system to give bad reviews I don't feel that they could be blamed. Google should think of other way to display review comments.
>You know what I'd love to see the next time one of these inflammatory gender-related posts comes up?

>One thread that only men are allowed to post to. No women to challenge them, play devil's advocate or otherwise defend their privilege. Just one place for us to say our piece without being downvoted into oblivion, where our voice can be heard (in all its glorious heterogeneity).

>Because that's what's missing in this conversation about men in tech. Men.

>Carry on femsplaining your way through it girls... I'll be over here building things.

Do you think you'd react well to a comment written like this? Expect hostility--it's deserved. Sexism isn't pretty, and that goes for both misogyny AND misandry.
...or get marry.
I find Apple's poor rating kind of sad.

Apple has a good revenue stream without collecting private data and exploiting that and if they both respected private data and stood up to the government then they could be a viable safe haven. I think that Apple is missing an opportunity.

Debate class is in session.
I've been wading through the first few weeks of material and have found it incredibly well-paced. Dr. Harper is beginning with the very basics and, though he skips over many supplementary details, is succeeding at slowly introducing new concepts as inevitable given the material presented up until that point. I really recommend the class.
If I were writing titles, it would be something less elegant. "The Dissipative, Self-Organizing System in Entropic Crisis", or "The Population-Growth-Energy-Complexity Nexus".

Though I've been leaning toward "The Best of All Possible Worlds". You've got to think about that one a bit.

There are women in YC, as seen in comments above. Nice of you to declare their input absolutely worthless.

You'll be more successful if you don't hallucinate sexism where there isn't any. Plenty of women in the tech field manage to do this. There's no reason you can't, too. I hope you come to feel more comfortable with your place in tech in the future, because the "all men are out to get us" mindset espoused by modern mainstream feminism has a very severe and debilitating effect on women's careers.
There was a time I was under a lot of stress and thought of just going to an AA meeting just to vent (I could have passed for an alcoholic at the time).

Interesting. Any idea for another way "helpful comments" can be identified? I mean, presenting bad reviews is helpful in most cases.
Evasi0n 7 1.0.3 Released
People's review habits in general are bizarre. I have read reviews like "I haven't gotten a chance to use the product yet" with a 3 star rating. One wonders what exactly they are reviewing. Or recipe reviews are the weirdest, every one of them say "I change blah blah blah" to the point where its a completely different recipe then they review their recipe, like that's somehow appropriate. I can understand making one tweek to suit your taste but don't change the whole recipe and think thats what you are reviewing.

Hmmm... I wonder If we could record the state of an active brain and "run" it in the computer creating sentience. Without getting theological, what would the difference between the brain and the computer be if they were exact copies and functioned in the same way?
Not as weird as the PS3.
There is a cultural undercurrent to loneliness too

In my previous job (with others from India) at a North European company which ran out of one of their towns. The loneliness of a beautiful North European town (100% conservative white population with a sprinkling of chinese immigrants, we were the first brown people to be seen there) (during short biz visits) was a striking contrast to our lives in India. So much so that in weekends, we rushed to get up and catch morning trains to the nearest city, just to be around a crowd of people (even in the city, we could find what we needed only in their excellent railway stations cum malls)

The same experience in San Jose, US but worse still as you practically good as dead without your own car. We (a female colleague and I) tried the fledgling (2001) train service there and ended up wishing we were wiser. Public transport in US West seemed to be used only by the socially discarded. I had to coax our hosts to get a car rented by a US colleague with me as a secondary driver (due to my foreign car license!) and then only it was FREEDOM! :-)

New York on the other hand, I felt at home. Get down from your hotel and you are into a sea of walking people Yay!

So an additional point can be being in a place with substantial amount of people, even if they are strangers gives you a relief from loneliness.

Dirty Secrets Apple Doesn’t Want You To Know
I actually built this page a few years ago when I was working at Twitter during a hack day (bonus points if you can find the easter egg!). It's fun to see it on HN again.

Anyone who is interested in Twitter's current open source contributions should definitely check out the open source section of their engineering site as well:

https://engineering.twitter.com/opensource
I would love to hear what Warhol had to say about drug dealing, but i do not theink it would be very beneficial. Many artists are long on talk and short on content. Take, for instance, myself.
The analogy communicates fine to me, someone who doesn't play a violin.

It doesn't matter at all how accurate his criticism of a violin is, any more than it matters that C has nothing analagous to 'tuning pegs'.

Your wish that people wouldn't communicate in a way in a way that is effective but you don't like, is therefore silly.
Oh man this post is spot on LOL.

Man, with PC games you have forums so that's great for communicating, but with mobile it seems like there's generally a disconnect between developer and player. The system, while great to have, doesn't really encourage it.
Calling what Twitter does -- SMS with ads and RoundRects -- leading software engineering is an insult to software engineers. If twitter built cars and planes, I would walk.
Yes, that too.

Speaking of which: any good tools for literate programming?
Totally off-topic, but I think that's a pretty cool name. I've been looking to marine life for name inspiration myself.
I agree with you 100%. As a former teacher and now professional programmer and volunteer tutor, I have some advice for anyone interested in getting involved: Just show up.

Go to the front desk of the nearest high school and explain you are interested in volunteering as a tutor. They will be very confused and ask what group you are with. They will want to know who you expect to sign off so you can get your "service credits". Just smile and explain again that you are simply interested in volunteering as a tutor. Ask if there is a math, physics, or chemistry teacher you could speak to. Such faculty are usually technical enough that they will at least understand the value of what you are offering. Expect to have to wait and put in a great deal of work before you can even start. Expect to fill out a "CORI" form to check for criminal background. Expect every new person you encounter to be somewhat baffled by the fact that you are not with a group. Expect some to think you are some kind of auditor and be very wary of you. And then, when you are finally sanctioned and scheduled for an afternoon or two a week, expect absolutely no students to show up. Don't quit. After three weeks, if kids still aren't showing up... don't worry, that's normal. Somewhere around a month and a half in, you will be normal enough that you may get some takers. But still you will have to be very outgoing and sell the free service you are offering. Eventually, if you are absolutely consistent, you can get a core group of kids that work with you every time, and it's a hoot.

I love my time tutoring. You should do it too.
Ha ha! It gave me a good laugh :-)

Ask HN: Best *BSD Laptops
Recently I've been looking into BSD, and was wondering if HN had any good pics for a laptop to run *BSD. Doesn't have to come preinstalled by the way.
Another possibility is that intelligent life is relatively common, but highly technological civilizations are rare. How would human civilization have panned out if we had not been lucky enough to discover huge, easily accessible reserves of petrochemicals? We might have continued to enjoy a population and standard of living comparable to the 1700s, but not progressed to become the energy intensive civilization we are today. One could argue that would not necessarily be a bad thing in the long run.

It's also worth remembering that for 99.9% of our existence as a species, we lived on a much smaller energy budget. So maybe that's the norm, and planets where Saudi Arabia scale reserves of free energy are just sitting there for the taking are quite rare. Then, of those that do, what percentage successfully make the transition to become long-term spacefaring civilizations?

Whoever is defending this needs to talk about the "act of journalism", and say how in the digital age everyone can commit "acts of journalism" without having a "journalist job" or belonging to a "journalism association", which in the digital age/21st century are starting to become obsolete notions.

But even without this sort of defense, he should still have the right to free speech that everyone in US gets.
They were spoken to me, by Brits.

Some out of context data pulled from Wikis etc:

"In January 2007, it was reported that the F-22... [amassed] a 144-to-zero kill ratio during "Northern Edge" air-to-air exercises held in Alaska, the first large-scale exercise in which the Raptor participated."

----

"I can't see the [expletive deleted] thing," said RAAF Squadron Leader Stephen Chappell, exchange F-15 pilot in the 65th Aggressor Squadron. "It won't let me put a weapons system on it, even when I can see it visually through the canopy. [Flying against the F-22] annoys the hell out of me."

Lt. Col. Larry Bruce, 65th AS commander, admits flying against the Raptor is a very frustrating experience. Reluctantly, he admitted "it's humbling to fly against the F-22," - humbling, not only because of its stealth, but also its unmatched maneuverability and power.

http://www.acc.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123041831

Edit: And found one of F22 v Eurofighters; both are GenV fighters:

Two other German officers, Col. Andreas Pfeiffer and Maj. Marco Gumbrecht, noted in the same report that the F-22′s capabilities are “overwhelming” when it comes to modern, long-range combat as the stealth fighter is designed to engage multiple enemies well-beyond the pilot’s natural field of vision – mostly while the F-22 is still out of the other plane’s range. Grumbrecht said that even if his planes did everything right, they weren’t able to get within 20 miles of the next-generation jets before being targeted.

“But as soon as you get to the merge…” Pfeiffer said, referring to the point at which fighters engage in close-up dog fighting, “in that area, at least, the Typhoon doesn’t necessarily have to fear the F-22 in all aspects… In the dogfight the Eurofighter is at least as capable as the F-22, with advantages in some aspects.”

I think "don't trust" is a more accurate expression of what people really mean, but it has less of a ring to it.
It blows my mind (pun intended?) that we still don't really know why we need sleep, even though we sleep for like 20% of our lives.

We know some stuff, like if you don't sleep, bad stuff happens to your body and you don't form memories effectively, but like the article says we haven't figured out why it's so essential.
Wow, 12 years old: http://pizzacompiler.sourceforge.net/

Oh, this guy is an asshole, and what he writes definitely falls into a defamation and slander. The First amendment doesn't protect this kind of speech.

The problem isn't that he's being punished by the courts, it's that he's seeing indefinite jail time just for opening his mouth. There is a crime here, but the punishment doesn't fit it.
Yeah, that part was a bit weird since he only mentioned the "rendering engines WebKit and Blink" being open source, while both have fully open source browsers built on them that are pretty easy to build yourself (especially compared to Firefox's current build process, though that is improving in leaps and bounds).

That said, the big difference is in how widespread they are. While he does use an explicitly unqualified "advantage over all other browser vendors", if you think instead about a verified build system that has guarantees for significant numbers of internet users, your Chromium population is much more limited. Probably the majority are the linux distros that ship with chromium and the rest are people who are largely building from source anyways.
Haha ya, I guess that's really on the low end. I was thinking of old people who seem to sleep like 4 hours a night for the last 20 years of their lives. Plus people are generally sleep deprived.

That brain graphic is like a motion illusion when I read down the text; it continually appears to shrink. Did anyone else see that too? It only works when you aren't focusing on the graphic.
In the simplest cases, sure. But inferring that amount of information in general programs is very much an open problem. Even with GCC, which incorporates what is roughly (at least within an order of magnitude) state-of-the-art autovectorization, you have to be careful how you write your loops and structure your arrays or the compiler won't pick up on it.

Here's an example in Haskell: consider the case that the list of numbers was generated from a list of some other structure; something like "map x coordinates" to get all the X values from a list of X-Y-Z coordinates. For vectorization to work, those values need to be packed together in memory; however the structure isn't organized as such (at best, you'd have XYZXYZXYZ). That means a nontrivial memory copy, which will cost much more than the vectorization will gain you. So the structure needs to be reorganized, but then that might cause other pessimizations.
"can we use such audited browsers as trust anchors, to authenticate fully-audited open-source Internet services?"

I don't think you read my comment in full. I said nothing about how effective his analogy was, just that it was obviously misinformed, to a laughable degree.
Many Google managers still do individual contributions.
Can someone clarify which parts of Chrome aren't open-source? Is it just the Flash, Adobe, etc. closed-source plugins that get distributed with it, or are there other not-open pieces that get compiled in?
Somebody who's good at this sort of thing want to make a webgame out of this? It looks pretty amazing.
This is really odd, particularly considering that Turkey is by far one of the friendliest places I've been in my many travels (well, at least many travels when I was younger).

I question whether they're aware of the grief that their reviews are causing. In any case, it's still pretty inconsiderate to tell someone (numerically) that you think their work sucks, even if you don't really mean any harm.

All in all, probably an extension of the whole "cursing/attacking/belittling someone on the Internet doesn't count" phenomenon.
