Clojure is not actor based but has some terrific primitives for concurrency
This is much less true now than it has been in the past, due to current leakage effects.
This seems like a great start, but it's lacking something that every assembly programming resource that I've ever come across lacks too:

How can I experiment?

How do I go from instructions in a text file, to compiling, to getting input in some form? What programs do I use (on Linux)? What commands do I run? What are fun projects that are worthwhile doing with assembly?

Beyond that, what are good applications of assembly in general? Where should I use it in my day-to-day development projects? Where can I read about best practices? Where can I find good examples of x86_64 assembly programming?

It's really easy to merely describe the instructions, the registers, the mapping from compiled procedural languages - but I feel like that information is superficial so long as you don't tell us how to apply it.
More than language at times, it is usually cultural differences as well. You gave the example of elevator chit chat. I think it might have more to do with the fact that your Indian/Chinese co-worker might not have a lot of common things to talk about. For example, sports. A typical american likes american football or baseball at least knows enough about it talk to another american. Someone from another country may not relate to this at all unless they are actually following the sports (a lot of them do of course). So sometimes they are not sure what to say and hence go with the usual "weather" or "watched TV" chat.

Having said this, I personally think that it is rude to talk in a language in work settings that someone else does not understand even though you may not be talking to/about them.
However, many times, the people doing this do not realize it is rude (again due to cultural differences). They will think "what the heck, I am talking in my mother tongue to someone else, why does he/she care". They do not realize that it might be making the other person uncomfortable.

P.S: I am an Indian who moved to the US many years ago.
What country are you in?

Your responses seem unusually aggressive.

Edit: canada - the official languages are English and French. You would be unable to do anything if they were all speaking French.

You say there are two groups. One group speaks "Chinese" and the other group speaks "Hindi". So one group doesn't know what the other group is saying. You (rather paranoically) say that they may be talking shit about you. That's true, but the Indians may be talking shit about the Chinese and the Chinese may be talking shit about the Indians.

That wasn't the exact laptop model, just a general laptop description. The Model name is usually something like, "MacBookPro11,1", and an exact model would be, "ME864xx/A","ME865xx/A", or "ME866xx/A".

I think it's reasonably to say, "Macbook Pro" as a generic reference. Nothing is really gained/lost by saying, "Mac Laptop". And, you do need to distinguish it's your unibody mac laptop, not a dell laptop, which likely doesn't mind being scratched by a watch that much. This is a Point for Dell! - My Latitude 2120 has been all over the planet in all sorts of rough conditions, doesn't have a visible scratch, unlike my macbook air - which is pretty ugly (but still working) shape after the same two years.
Not to forget those that are hoping to create some extra money (and/or passive income) to put off the next consulting gig for a while.
Don't forget that even if you believe you can trust the entity collecting the information, can you trust all the persons that have access to it? Is it inconceivable to believe that people who work for the Chinese government have never sold top secret data to US officials or even corporations? Why couldn't an NSA employee do the same thing? What if the NSA's servers weren't as secure as they thought they were?
I think for people who actually want spdy3 support, they will evaluate whether nginx 1.5 is stable enough for them. Stable is just a word, and unless it's a straightjacket "stable or nothing" culture you're referring to, yes people will have to make their own decisions about whether 1.5 is stable enough for their needs.

As the posts below, "mainline" is considered stable enough for production.

The voice->text is inaccurate enough (especially because the many different languages that can be used) so you have to keep the original recording and not just the text; but yes, you can easily do things like "find all conversations where the word 'nakamoto' is heard" with mass scale voice/speech analysis.

This is incredibly impressive concept, and I love the design thought that went into it. How does Dialog intend to detect seizures? Will the patient need to act fast enough to trigger the device manually?

It would be great to hear from a company interested in making this device a reality, but as far as I can tell, nobody's currently building this.

I doubt they only store it for a month. Besides how cheap (in national security budget terms) it is to store everything indefinitely, the timespan of a month is just not enough time to gather enough intelligence, especially when you don't know what you're looking for.

If you're already capturing everything, you want a big picture, and a big picture isn't something you get with just what's been happening for the past month.

If they ever delete stuff, it's based on tiers with different priorities (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7394346), not an arbitrary period.

At least for me, my Livescribe has a learning curve to it. Plus it doesn't feel as natural to write in and with compared to a plain notebook. Again, this is just how I feel, but the Mod notebooks seem to place more emphasis on the design and quality of notebook compated to livescribe.

The guy is also ignorant. Speedtree generates all sorts of photo-real foliage for a million games and film/TV CGI, has done for years. Even Forza Motorsport uses Speedtree for trackside stuff. Also, loads of materials are generated procedurally - fur and hair are the obvious examples. For games, MGS V uses lots of procedural stuff in its modelling. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZFR4H4LORU is the GDC 2013 presentation. Has a lot of neat tricks and optimisations for content generation in general, all in search of the photo-real.

The other problem is research. Loads of people are working on dynamics, rendering and materials. Not very many are working on contextual object distribution to detail an interior so it has decent complexity and realism, or ways to procedurally create Skyrim villages. Even less are working on generating complex quests, but when these things get "good enough", it'll be a huge step forward.
Well, it doesn't have to be 3G, good old GSM, so I could leave my phone in the locker and go to gym and have all the data available to me right there.
It has small screen, which most of the time should be turned off, without bluetooth (which is battery hungry also) and without wifi, I think it should work for 1 day.
That kind of smartwatch I would definitely buy.

I appreciate that, I actually went back and forth on mentioning the specific model. It seemed relevant because of the case material (and dimensions of the trackpad/palm area), and I don't remember having the same issue with previous plastic case laptops.

I think part of the challenge is that people are conditioned by media to view "sexism" or "racism" only in the grossest extremes, as things that are only done by truly evil people. For example: "sexism" as the boss who gropes his female subordinates and proposes sexual services in exchange for special treatment or promotions; "racism" as the cross-burning Klansmen or curb-stomping skinheads.

As such, admitting to "a little" sexism or "a little" racism is viewed by many as a one way slippery slope of perception where their friends and colleagues will soon be viewing them as those aforementioned examples of undiluted evil.

Additionally, from a tactical / practical point of view, it may be unwise to admit anything in front of HR, which generally exists primarily to protect the company's ass from liability, and only incidentally to protect the employees. No one wants to be written up or sent to sensitivity training.

The current best minimalist practice is to use LayoutManager have your router be the super-orchestrator that makes sure all the models are loaded (use the caching plugin, very convenient), and instantiates the necessary nested views based on the route. Now that react.js is getting popular, it also might be worth looking into swapping LayoutManager out for it.
I'm confused. Is he the Leslie Lamport I'm thinking of, the one who created LaTeX? If so, I'm very surprised to learn that he works for Microsoft.
They're saying that you shouldn't pretend problems don't exist if you want them fixed. Problems like poverty, crime rate, sentencing rate. They are real, they have real effects, they shouldn't be discounted. Arguing that most people aren't in jail is just a way of ignoring the problem.
I had the same experience as well.

I redid a relatively trivial CRUD interface from backbone to Angular. The amount of code that I didn't need in Angular was ridiculous. Most of the code in backbone was moving stuff from the DOM into JS. Like var x = $('#elem').val(); kind of things over and over just did not need to be there in Angular.

I think that these kinds of interfaces hit a really good sweet spot with Angular and other databinding frameworks.
Really interesting (if a bit disturbing, to be honest). Thanks for sharing.
Everyone on Reddit uses adblock. Besides, any major change to the Reddit advertising model would have a chance of making everyone leave, like when everyone on Digg left for Reddit.

The flip side of this is that if it's interactive it doesn't stop the person from either A. constantly interacting with their phone or B. constantly interacting with their watch.

I think people would be better served taking a step back and asking "Do I really need all these notifications?" and the answer will likely be no.
Too many screens (or why an Android watch is just more bullshit)
Software is logic manifest, there is no limit to what can be coded. At any layer of the stack you can radically reenvision the way things are currently done in order to create a new way of doing things, and in no other creative endeavor can you so fully control the minutest detail from the smallest atom to the grandest super-structure. The reason we have design patterns is precisely because the possibilities are so wide open that we need some structure and convention to aid communication and comprehension between programmers.

If you're just churning out cookie cutter patterns you need to get a new job or side project and rediscover the magic.
A package manager like this is intended for development time. Since you don't actually do your development on the embedded system, you can still use it fine.

You'd generate some build artifact with the help of Cargo, and that's what you'd load onto your device.
> within Chrome I can rarely find something in my history without opening the history view

Yes. And bookmarks, for me. Back when I had switched from Firefox to Chrome, I thought it hadn't imported most of my bookmarks. Chrome would hardly ever show me the things I expected/wanted.

Having switched back to Firefox, I'm delighted with the experience of it actually suggesting the things I want, again.

The only time I use Chrome these days, is for something Google can't be arsed to make work correctly in other browsers (e.g. photo editing on G+, label dropdowns in Gmail, ad nauseum).
I'll say it again; please advice me what non-Apple laptop to buy which can compete with my 11 inch Air. I tried many and all are more expensive than my 'status fashion Air' and they all feel/work like crap compared. Wobbly/shaky and expensive. But tell me what is better for the same price, I'll get one tomorrow and let's see if what kind of fashion we are talking about.

Flash on Denver News TV – Too funny
> He was arguing that closed source software should be disallowed.

He did not make this argument. He argued that closed source has serious drawbacks -- he never suggested that it should be "disallowed". Find the word or an equivalent word -- but you must find it in his posts, not yours.

If I complain about women, am I saying they should be disallowed? Only to someone who invents positions for other people, then proceeds to object to the positions he has invented.

> Who else but the government is going to make such rules?

Is Apple under government mandate to have a closed-source system? Is Red Hat under government mandate to have an open-source system? Neither is true. The government is not involved at all, in any way, period.

> Yes I brought freedom into it.

Yes, you did, after inventing arguments no one made, using claims about society that aren't part of reality.

> ... so what is the point of banning closed software if not "freedom"?

You fabricated this entire argument out of whole cloth. No one advocated "banning closed software", no one brought up government, no one brought up freedom. These are all parts of your private fantasy.
Looking at all these things -- workmate has a Galaxy Gear, I've got a Pebble, another friend has a Basis B1 -- they're all so tall and clunky. They're uncomfortable and not particularly useful. The obvious answer, IMHO, is just a phone on your arm. I'm looking forward to the device that stops trying to pack things into a watch form-factor; that makes use of curved OLED displays, and puts a longer, thinner device on my wrist.

That said -- I've sort of thought for a while that the display should actually be decoupled from the device. I have a phone, a kindle, a smartwatch and a laptop -- all of which have separate user accounts, need cloud syncing (blech) and in general are a PITA to manage. I'd much prefer it if I had a computer on my wrist, which could wirelessly connect to external displays (Miracast?), and make use of them. So, my phone, kindle, laptop -- even a new tablet! -- are all just differing views of the same actual computer.
I'm kind of relieved that they are much diminished.

Sources of racism come from all kinds of things: colonialism, ethnic scapgoating, economic competition between ethnicities, ethno-nationalism, etc. The post I'm replying to seems to suggest it's not possible to be racist towards whites ("For this reason alone ... there is no symmetry in these biases"). I'm merely pointing out that by the popular, and dictionary definition of racism, it's possible. If black youths target a white youth for a beating because he/she is white, for example, it would be reasonably characterized as "racist" even though the racism faced by blacks, systematically, is greater.

No, what's incredible is that they're simultaneously a tech company and a fashion company. Perhaps it would be most accurate to say they are a design company in the consumer electronics market. Calling them a "design-oriented company" is inclusive of their multiple facets, including usability, fashion, and performance.
I can see how it would make feel women slightly safer as it would reduce the risk of touching. But it seems to me romantic feelings could still develop easily. On the stairwell, you could ask the other person if they want to go for a coffee or meet after work.

Actually the glass walls these days seem to be more necessary for the men who have to insure against accusations of sexual harassment. I've heard for example that professors at universities always leave their door open or try to have other people present when they meet students, to avoid any such accusations.

Of course that might help a little, if men need not be afraid of sexual harassment claims there is less need to avoid women in a professional context.
How do deprecated methods affect you? Just curious. Maybe I'm missing something.
I am still failing to get the idea of enabling phone related services on a tiny device like this, it’s unlikely it can run sms/phone calls at its own, rather you would have to keep a smartphone with it. That said, I guess the focus should be on doing something that phone can’t. Than indirectly using your phone by this device, which barely makes any sense to me.

The device depicted in the images does not appeal me, it’s seems massive and old fashioned. I don’t think a smartwatch should have this look. We do not need a touch screen enabled watch, we are talking here about a ‘smart’ watch.
Ask HN: How do you speed read technical books?
What is your technique to speed read and finish technical books (such as on programming languages, cs theory etc.) as fast as possible?
I think the closest analogy is pay-per-minute cell phones. No automatically renewing bill, but they do get recurring income from people who keep using it. Call it a one time fee per notebook if you want to, it's still a revenue stream per user than can keep them in business as long as users are using and replacing notebooks.

So the important nuance regarding your previous comment is that "new sales" doesn't mean "new users." You could run a stable business off of this with a steady user base, unlike a pay once use forever model.

This feels like a better bet for them than subscriptions. I certainly wouldn't have been interested in their previous model, but now I am.

In many companies the policy is that people in positions of power can't have relationships with their underlings. i.e. a VP having sex with their executive assistant would probably cross the line into unethical behavior on a number of fronts. Even if both parties entered it willingly and with no coercion or implied retaliation for saying "no", there may be questions of favoritism among other employees. The assistant would never be able to rise within the company without that doubt creeping in about their competence.

So, if it's not the official policy in an office, it is probably still grounds for action, since most offices expect a certain level of ethical behavior toward coworkers.

How can I make my GIF messaging app better? 
Hey there everyone! About a year ago I had an idea for a GIF messaging app called Glyphic (it's on the iTunes store at the moment).

We did a soft launch at school in semi beta (basically just core functionalities) and had a great response.

Currently we're adding new features like posting on fb/twitter, sharing convos, group convos, usernames/easier to find friends (UI/UX changes).

I figured I'd reach out to HN to see what everyone thought we could improve on!

Designing and implementing a software project is not creative. It is learned. It takes methodically analyzing requirements and designing a solution based on learned patterns through study or experience. We engineer software.

"Coming up with new patterns and improving existing patterns is what we do."

Chances are you are not "coming up with new patterns" but instead re-discovering existing patterns.
