Yes. The 68000 was very nice to program for, but internally it was obviously from an earlier era/too far ahead of its time/a big pile of shit (delete as you see fit). You'll hunt far and wide for an instruction that takes less than 4 cycles, long instructions take more time again, variable-width shifts take 2 cycles per shift, a division can take 150 cycles, and with the effective address calculation timings on top things can really mount up. (See, e.g., http://oldwww.nvg.ntnu.no/amiga/MC680x0_Sections/mc68000timi...)

If you look at the cycle counts for 8086 instructions - see, e.g., http://zsmith.co/intel.html - they're much closer to the 68000 ones. Compared to the 68000, the 286 is just on another level.

Hey everybody. Earth Class Mail is currently running a promo (OUTBOX2014) for people feeling aimless in the wake of Outbox's closure. It'll give you two months free and waive your sign-up fee. Shameless plug, I work there. I can vouch for the service, though; it's legit, and we're working really hard to grow the company.
Now, 14 years later, we have ugly black boxes.

Is there still an old version of search available?

1. My ISP send me a router that has a feature to host a internet accessible fileserver. Out-of-the-box. ISPs in germany do not promote home-hosting but they give you devices that do it.

2. Incoming / Outgoing TCP/25 blocking: Not a problem with ISPs in Germany.

3. Blacklisting: At most a problem if you send mails. Plus GMAIL requires SPF/DKIM for just about evey IP, so yes, you are on a blacklist unless you do some DNS magic. BUT once you do the magic it will override IP block - unless the other side has a shitty setup....
As far as I can tell, pg is not involved with this discussion at all. Was there an earlier discussion about this incident that I am missing?
Fascinating! After reading this I was encouraged to see if anyone had covered the game on YouTube and found a guy who did a whole let's play series on it while explaining what he was doing and how the puzzles worked. Part 1 at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJeseZEZn6Y for anyone curious.
It means making knowingly inferior moves in order to set a trap that you are hoping your opponent will fall for (which Gates did). Normally not something serious chess players do, but I guess this is a weird situation.
People who cite the CAP theorem as the reason they went with MongoDB etc for their tiny new project deserve some kind of premature optimization medal. The CAP theorem starts to matter when you are dealing with highly distributed systems, and even then there is almost certainly a long series of simpler workarounds to keep things usable than redoing your data architecture. Some downtime, too, is of course undesirable but acceptable up to a certain point, which is also something people tend to gloss over when raising concerns about CAP.

The biggest hangup other than the UX issues the author talks about is the fear of having to manually shard your data. There are a lot of promises about automatically sharding your data from NoSQL vendors but I have no idea if they actually are able to deliver on this. If you are just doing a K-V store, then of course sharding is easy, regardless of the database you are using. I don't think there is really a silver bullet here, just maybe better tooling and removing redundant manual steps. You still need to think carefully about data access paths and queries and so on. Any additional sharding-centric features of NoSQL databases missing in mainstream databases could presumably be added, if they don't exist already with poor UX.

For example PostgreSQL replication, wal log archiving, etc works great but it's still a bit tougher to set up than the more magical cluster auto discovery/configuration/sync stuff you see in things like elasticsearch. It would be interesting if the PostgreSQL people made a real push for a release to tighten up the operational UX of the product to be more human friendly instead of adding on more core features. (Not that I'm complaining, it's great!)
I'm very new to Go, but I am continually impressed and amazed at its depth and beauty. A few tiny simple rules producing such complex gameplay is really awe-inspiring. Chess, with its many types of pieces, limited moves, many rules just doesn't have the same elegance.
Issues responding to a new poster who is some other person than GP... sorry

How does 365 data points give your conclusions any sort of statistical significance? Snapchat's numbers are allegedly over 30M, Facebook's are over 1.2B and Instagram's are 150M.

I suggest reading "How to Lie with Statistics"[1]

[1] http://www.amazon.com/How-Lie-Statistics-Darrell-Huff/dp/039...

Edit: I guess that sounded a little harsh. No doubt, Snapchat's growth has been explosive and if this was just another blog-spam post about that fact, I'd let it be. But you're selling a statistical software! I'd expect better from people who know what they're doing. Also, "How to Lie with Statistics" is a really good book, should be required reading for anyone dealing with numbers. Did not mean that as an attack on your product.
So I say "frigid bitch" but it's not always spoken or spoken in those exact words. Everything from just plain "bitch" to calling me a whore, a slut, a cunt, or insulting the way I look and my mother and my mother's mother. Sometimes it might be justified, more often it's not.

It was worst with dating and relationships, where on okcupid and fetlife and other such communities some guy would message me saying I'm hot etc. and sometimes go into some disgusting and inappropriate fantasy about sleeping with two women because I say I'm bisexual, and then call me a ugly whore because I rejected him with a "sorry we're not really a match" ...because it's true. This happened with surprising frequency. I eventually made my profile visible to other women only, and then I gave up altogether soon after that.

I would also try to go to events with friends because just that one act tends to make creeps think twice, often because they believe you're "just" a girlfriend/wife (another terrible stereotype). In addition, I had a couple fake wedding rings for going out at night in general. Now I have a real ring and it's funny how the new assumptions are now sticking around for good. And I still only go out to events with my fiancé or limit myself to events run by women-focused or women-only groups. Being in SF this is easy, not so much in LA where I used to live and elsewhere. Also, I make a point of not giving this advice out to anyone because it smells a lot like the "don't wear revealing clothes/don't walk alone at night or else you might be raped" victim blaming so take it with a grain of salt ;) But a lot of women do this in general. It's kind of sad but it's life. It's also one of many reasons why tech sucks balls for women to be in.

I'm pretty sure for every asshole of a guy I encountered there were others and especially other women in his life that would speak well of him. I'm convinced most people that cause problems just need a small reminder to not be creeps. Unfortunately the internet and pseudonymity makes that hard, and makes it easy for real, persistent assholes to perpetuate their bullshit.
While I get that a kind community can go a long way, I just don't really see how a new currency fits into this.

If Dogecoin has technical advantages (and many argue that it does) then that's great, but all I hear when I read these articles is that a bunch of people thought that Bitcoiners were real meanies so they started their own currency! Hah!
I kept looking at the address and title bar expecting to see "the Onion"...
The bulk of the article was about not being treated as an intellectual equal by the group, not the physical contact of one person.
Oh. My first thought was "Ouch, we're too dependent on Gmail", but sure :)
> Perhaps an individual ISP has improperly implemented their system?

This is most likely the case. My larger point being, let's not even defend or apologize for this system.
That's the sort of story that'll spread like wildfire.

You must be using a different Internet from me. On my Internet, it looks something like this:

"Oh, you did speak up? You should have spoken up louder. You (should|should not) have cursed at him. You (should|should not) have been more polite. You (should|should not) have left. You (should|should not) have called the cops."

You can nitpick someone's past circumstances ad infinitum, as being too much of this or too little of that because there will never be a perfect, falsifiable individual test case— someone will find a reason why it's invalid. And after the fact, an individual can't go back and revise what they did, so all folks like you have to do is pick a reason why they did it wrong, and you can safely write it off.

In actuality, post isn't meant to be a conclusive proof or some damning, final conclusion. It's a data point, one among many as women get up the courage to talk about this shit. We need data points because there is actually a large subset of people who simply don't believe this is even a problem, let alone something they ought to think about.

If you mean the vertical line (horizontal from camera perspective) of squares with no pieces on it, that's called an open file, and it's an important concept in chess. Rooks on an open file are generally more powerful.
You do realize that ideology is not cleanly divided between two political parties, and that neither party has a consistent ideology over time or at any given time? The two parties are simply political coalitions that evolve over time, and neither is right or wrong about anything. When a party can no longer provide an adequate political opposition with it's current positions, it will change it's positions to replace a dwindling ideological group with a growing one. Aligning yourself with a political party, or a political party with righteousness is ignorant factionalism.

That is further true with Supreme Court justices, who have no reason to have any party affiliation, generally have none, and are far more nuanced, consistent, and reasonable than any political party. Yes, some lean more conservative than others on certain issues - as can be expected.

It's sad to see the sort of Fox News / MSNBC style partisanship you represent on Hacker News, where what you disagree with is called "Democratic" and what you agree with is called "Republican."
Here's an informative post from reddit which covers some of the issues of why women might not speak up and not resist crass advances: http://www.reddit.com/r/changemyview/comments/1u9994/startin...

Get mad at the laws? So as long as what something someone does is not illegal, we shouldn't criticize it? Interesting.
I agree with hide() and show(). Their performance is not that important since they are a swiss army knife and hopefully not used on too many elements at a time. The bad performance of .css() in the jsperf above is strange, though.

Profiling shows that it is not one big function but many small which accumulate. The camelCase function alone takes 3% of the speed in Chrome, the internal access() structure takes nearly half the time itself.

Speed could be achieved with the byte cost of specialised functions for easy cases like css(key, value) where you can skip most of the checks and queuing.

This shortcut for show/hide is roughly 16x faster and should remain more or less so even after extending it to cache the previous style and adding common exceptions for <tr>, !important, etc. Shortcuts like those could be used if it is clear that the chosen function signature is very easy like $('p').css('display', 'none') so all other checks can be skipped but would add to the payload of jQuery.

$.fn.cssDisplay=function(show) {
var d=show?'block':typeof show==='undefined'?'':'none',
length=this.length, i=0;
for(;i<length;) {
this[i++].style.display=d;
}
return this;
}

I’ll have a look into a more generic and faster .css() solution.
how could this be a sign that you are living in a simulation?
Yes, it's annoying. There are addons to get rid of it like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/google-search...
It's interesting that so much of the commentary is focused on the actions of one man described in only the first two paragraphs, when the article is really talking, at length, about women not being treated as intellectual equals by the group.

There is an irony here in that the discussion is less about what she's saying and more about how her body should be treated.
I predict that in the year 2032, when Gmail has gone bust and some russian gangster has bought the remains, the new business model of Google will be ransom: you pay us some portion of your net income last year or we publish all your emails.

Joking aside: what happens when companies that are sitting on huge chunks of extremely private data change owners and the new owners are unburdened by conscience?
My parents got me this game, way back when. I think I got half way through it before the game sapped my will to continue.

Vendor lock in through dumbing down your clients ... I like it.
Right - I count being the official money of the eurozone as an extrinsic quality, not an intrinsic one. Fiat money is intrinsically worthless, just like BitCoin. Unlike gold which has utility in that its market value isn't just based on its speculative value, but also what it's used for - a lot of things like electronics and jewelry that make it so that demand for gold will always be non-zero - fiat money is just paper, at the very most, and at the very least just bits being willed into existence by a central bank that may or may not later be printed into paper money.

Its officialness gives it two extrinsic qualities: 1) It can be used to pay taxes in some countries and 2) It is unlikely to be outlawed.

To me 1) is not special. In my view this just means there will always be at least one vendor that accepts the US Dollar (the US government) and while that's a nice guarantee, it makes the dollar different only in degree, but not kind, from BitCoin.

2) is slightly more interesting because it means that while Bitoin may be outlawed, the dollar will most likely never be outlawed, and the current regulatory framework governing money transfers, financial reporting, etc. is likely to stay consistent.

I believe BitCoin will be regulated more heavily, but not altogether more heavily than the dollar, but it will be not outlawed. Thus I think BitCoin in the end will not be meaningfully different from other fiat money, but it will offer things that fiat money can't offer, like unlimited electronic transfers over the Internet at small cost.

Of course, like anything I don't know the future. Here's to hoping.
What makes you think that "get your hands off me" would be enough for a statistically significant subset of people who are convinced that this isn't a problem, let alone their problem? On what planet do you live where people won't find yet another way to 20/20 hindsight somebody's past actions?

You and everyone else who reflexively criticizes someone who dares complain about how they're treated? It's social DoS. A single person can't possibly meet the arbitrary demands of a hostile reader. Folks — mostly men — pile on enough reasons why she's Doing It Wrong, and safely write it off.

And the part where it's her fault for instilling "fear and hostility" because a man groped her and she talked about it is a breathtaking feat of inverted logic.
Where is the "order by time" functionality. This is pretty much useless now for searching old stuff you recall. I still use Google "site:news.ycombinator.com keyword" query to search on HN as many of those homemade search engines are not handling synonyms and plurals etc well.
I would identify lack of respect and empathy as the primary source of the problem, rather than lack of education. The issue is less "some people under 30 do not know that treating others that way is not acceptable" and more "some people under 30 _do not care_ that treating others that way is not acceptable"

I mean, technically I suppose the empathy and respect may be something that you can teach, and if those are lacking then education aimed at raising empathy and respect needs improvement. However I think we are dealing with an issue that will be more difficult to resolve than just adding this material to high-school curriculum. Teaching empathy and respect is much trickier. (And with some people, it may be flat out biologically impossible (though google seems to be suggesting to me that researchers believe that psychopaths can choose whether or not they feel empathy, which is better than I suspected.))
First perfect game 300 bowled with Google Glass.
Sorry, I probably really misread you. I also read the article again and personally I don't think the situation sounds that threatening - there were a whole bunch of people there, including a good male friend.

Nevertheless, "she could have said something" is of course not an excuse for rude behavior. I wouldn't want to excuse his behavior. As I said, if I knew him, I probably wouldn't like him much and certainly wouldn't encourage him to attend further meetups.
Why the 'Confide' app should scare the crap out of you
Yup, but it was worth it to escape the various errors that could take down the OS at a moments notice depending on the software you were running. Not loosing my unsaved/unauto-saved Word documents because of an iTunes or IE crash was huge.
Screw that. It's not my fault you settled down and knocked up your partner. If we have the same level of responsibility, we work similar hours. Done.
No more than any other group. That's just your cognitive bias showing.
Well placed fear in these uncertain times.
What the heck did I just read? Look you obviously have the best intentions and you seem to be very emotionally invested in this topic and that's honestly great, really it is. While sometimes it can be impersonal and a tad cold, it seems our community tries to leave ego at the door (sometimes) and make level headed analysis in order to seek greater understanding or offer advice. Meritt's statement had merit and if you hadn't based your whole argument on the feelings it immediately stirred in you, you might have seen the truth in what he said.

Discrimination and harassment like what happened to the blogger truly is a horrendous glitch in humanity that needs to be addressed. We've been addressing it for the last few decades and have made great strides but the problem persists. Everyone should absolutely be letting their story be heard but we need to start nipping this in the bud.

I don't think anyone here actually blames Arianna for not saying anything at the time. It's very intimidating to stand up against your assailant. But maybe if we just talked about confronting these types of people we would all have more mental preparation and courage to stick up for ourselves in the moment. Most parts of the western world are civilized enough that a simple stern "Stop touching me" is enough to end it. Be brave and stand for what you believe in! You have nothing to fear but allowing these public interactions and maintaining status quo.
Try and get an hour before work in, or an hour right after work. I like to sit at a coffee shop or a bar for this. Then finding some weekend time should be trivial.

if one googless "gmail" and sees the top link opening a compose e-mail to your e-mail address, one probably starts to question reality or if they are in a dream, because it's so insane. its not like winning the lottery or getting hit by lightning, it seems more rare than that because it's an unexpected event that is tied to you. basically the emotional equivalent of going to times square and seeing your picture on one of the big screens with no explanation. fucking crazy.

solr/ES would do that almost out of the box. how does your stuff differ or make it simpler (besides cloud) ?
I probably can't follow your whole reasoning :-(

I suppose whole sub-economies will emerge. Some will run on Bitcoin, others on dogecoin, others on whatnot. And of course there are markets for exchanging cryptocurrencies. And there will be tools for just accepting any currency, if the salesman doesn't care. For example there is a widget for accepting dogecoins that automatically converts all dogecoins earned into Bitcoins.

Those submarkets will perhaps compete with each other. If few people accept Bitcoin but many accept dogecoin, the price of Bitcoin will fall relative to dogecoin. Or so I imagine.
Even Google has this problem with some common words. If you type "Nudel", which is German for noodle, into the Google search box, you won't get auto-complete entries presumably because it contains the word "nude". This happens even on the German Google version (?hl=de).

Interestingly, it seems that Bing does a better job of separating "Nudel" and "nude" as it does offer appropriate auto-complete entries. I'm not sure how widespread this problem is and how Google and Bing compare on other search terms, though, since I only randomly stumbled upon this issue while searching for recipes.
