Are you aware of Darktable? I think it's a great Adobe Lightroom replacement, even has some features the latter is missing I believe.

That is amazing. Good for them.

But how did the first mover in this space, Dev Bootcamp, lose out to App Academy in the prestige stakes? Was it expelling people without giving them a full refund? Counting people who were working for them and for themselves as working? Something else>
There are several companies in the valley that are going hard for ICPC winners. MemSQL is certainly one of them. In the past contestants were mostly going to big companies like Google. Hopefully we will see more and more of the top competitors joining startups.
Can anyone comment as to how feasible/practical it would be to extend these proofs to a multicore chip?
Good point. I was wondering how they would measure "effort" or pressure on the bar. It's not as easy as just counting steps. RFID could work. I wonder if there is a sensor that could check muscle "activation" as well.
Sorry, replying in two places on the same thread.

I've got no evidence that it was an actual DMCA notice, and the language suggesting it was an automated match seems much more likely to me.

That said, I don't think I have any insider knowledge from my time there, but also wouldn't want to give the impression that I was revealing non-public facts about their processes. It may be an abundance of caution, but it would certainly paint a target on the argument.

A major, major problem across many, many UGC sites is that, because the DMCA does not require them to forward takedown notices in their entirety affected users, there is information asymmetry at play. I filled out a dispute form on the site, which required consenting that my counter-notice would be forwarded on to the complaining party (if such a party exists).

If there is a DMCA notice, and if I can get it, and if I can show it was in bad faith, I'd absolutely raise the idea of pursuing a 512(f) claim against "the assholes" you mention. But 512(f) doesn't work against what I wager happened, which is just a media partner engaging in copyfraud unbeknownst to SoundCloud.

If that's what happened, SoundCloud likely has a contract saying that the media partner won't do that, and could terminate their agreement or, who knows, sue over breach of contract. But I, the user, don't have that course of action available to me.
Ask HN: What could we human do with more computing power?
Hi,

yesterday i discussed with a friend of mine what would change with quantum computers.

Would we overcome milestones in medical & biotech science? Would we explore more of our universe? I'm already very excited about this topic. What will change with exponential increased computer power?

Right now as quantum computers are not normalcy - what impact does current crowd computing have on science? There are a few project we you can let your computer compare proteins etc. - is it worth it my time, cpu power and electricity costs? How important is crowd computing?

Excited to hear your thoughts on that.

Someone's already on it: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/controlvr/control-vr-mo...
Did you seriously just link to an interview in very popular, US-hosted website with a US-based (presumably tenured) professor at one of the best universities in the world (did I mention US based?) in which he lays out in great detail his public academic research on how he considers the US an oligarchy -- as evidence of repression and harassment of those advocating for fundamental change?

Do you understand the words repression and harassment? Do you understand that if he had ventured into such research (much less published it, much much less been interviewed about it in a publication), he (and his wife) would at best have lost their jobs. Probably reassigned a new flat of the sort described in the article, in a remote area (docile academics often enjoyed access to privileged accommodation). Worst case, re-education in a Gulag.

The fact that the US isn't by a long shot perfect doesn't make it Soviet Russia.
I don't think this description is entirely fair. What is expensive with these computers is the fast interconnection buses between processors and modules, which is needed for many scientific problems that can't easily be divided into independent subproblems. Just having a large cluseter of computers connected with normal Ethernet would not cut it. OK, you say souped out network cards, and if you had said souped up switches as well, I could have given you some points, but this is the major cost of modern supercomputers. You can get a non souped-up cluster with the same number of processors for a one digit percentage of the price of the supercomputer.
Looks nice, but since it's completely unclear who's behind this, I personally wouldn't buy. People, add an imprint at least, better an "About us" page.

Actually I use PayPal more often since they provide 2FA. They are stupid because this could be a win-win for them and tech aware consumers like us. I also wished they used Google Authenticator instead of this SMS... they (SMS) sometimes take ages before delivered.

So does it mean that you will never purchase a service from somebody who you don't know? Let's say they added an about us page and list their names, but you still don't know these people, does it mean you won't purchase the service even tho they have an "About Us" page?
I don't like how the article opens with the premise of a people struggling their whole lives to master writing in a particular style only to have their expression oppressed, then proceeds to talk about font rendering..

Generally though, I'm not really sure how I feel about trying to get people to care about something so precious in general. One one hand it's a shame to lose culture. On the other the internet/technology has its own culture and is it really lost in the age of 5c per GB storage?
Pixelmator for mac, it also has a vector editor. The new version also allows for 16bit editing, which GIMP doesn't do yet (but Krita does).
It makes sense that the goalkeeper is tallest, no? He needs to be able to cover a certain area and get his hand to the ball.

For tall strikers, you have Peter Crouch as an outlier at 6ft 8.
Depends on what you mean by 'editing'. I can crop, resize, rotate and stitch together images in Preview which is editing in my book and covers about 95% of all image editing I ever need.
Nice to see Go adopting the subpackage/module notion of other module based languages.

I have done some optimizations using the Safari Debugger alongside with Chrome's, because I needed to access an iPad.

Safari counts and profiles ALL function invocation, so if you go looking for hotspots with it's profiler, you always get the parts where many functions are called. I consider this harmful.

I stumbled over this. Maybe other developers did too.

Why not instead write a Haskell DSL which generates a C code for your requirements. ?
I find this an interesting, common, conceptual misunderstanding.

When somebody asks this question, he always thinks this way:

- I have a system "A" with x GB of ram, with y GB of swap.
- I have a system "B" with x+y GB of ram, and no swap, because it has all the virtual memory A is using.

well, the problem is that one should not compare system B with system A, he should compare system B with system C:

- I have a system "C", with x+y GB of ram, and z of swap.

system C will perform potentially better than B.

The generic explanation is that the kernel may decide that it's better to swap out some data, and use the space for caching purposes. This is a concept, that within limits, it's not related to the amount of RAM.
It would be interesting to use the data to find out what makes a hashtag trending. I imagine that there are a few common themes which will pop up again and again. The question is whether the data used by this bot are usable for such an analysis. Any thoughts?
Online, I only purchase stuff if they have a legally-looking imprint and make a general impression of seriousness. And while this website has a nice design, the lack of an imprint implies that there's something sketchy going on. My reasoning is: If someone is afraid to put his complete name + address online, there must be a reason for it and I'm not the one wanting to do business with him or her.

Edit: I don't have to know the people. And the About-Us page isn't very important. I just want to see that it's a legitimate business and usually in most countries, this requires the company to put a full address on their website.

Good for him. Tell him to put that information on the web page.
Indeed. I know someone who's being evicted from their flat in Edinburgh so the owners can rent it out for 3x the normal rent during the Festival. Of course, that doesn't cause them to vanish; they now have to find somewhere less convenient to live.

This is another example of how modern "elasticity" is pushed onto the people with least. Like zero-hours contracts.

Thanks for the notes.

They've been using several keywords like "hire magento developers", "magento developers", "opencart developers" et al. Apparently, there were major changes in Google seo policy a few years back which hurt these guys a lot.

Targeting digital agencies and vertical specific companies sounds like a great idea. They've tried this in past but the only issue was most of the email ids they got were that of support or help desk. I'll ask them to try this again and oversee execution.

They're already into extensions for magento and opencart and have excellent rating there. They've also started developing other products for developers and agencies.

Thanks again for the excellent inputs.
Oh Yes there are... mainly Justin Bieber, 5SOS and One direction. You want success on Twitter? You should definitely talk about that!

Also yes he could definitely do some text mining on the trending topics, that would be an interesting topic.
Oh, and this isn't much at all compared to what was going on in Algeria at the same time: large-scale torture (on both sides), bombings, summary executions... Fun times. Fortunately, democratic nations can't have "fun" on quite the same scale nowadays, though to be sure, the fellows enjoying US hospitality at Bagram airfield must have gotten their own "fun".
Thank you for this amazing read. A nice long route it seems that you have covered. Keep it up!

Magic directory names seems a bit of a hack to avoid supporting this notion in the language itself.

AFAIK this also introduces the English language into the currently freeform world of user import paths. I guess source files themselves already have something similar with the "_test.go" suffix, so there's some consistency with that.

There are lots of examples. Citing just two out of my mind.

Feierabend (German) - expresses the concept you are finished with the work duties for the day and can enjoy your private time with family and friends

Saudade (Portuguese) - a mixture of loneliness, melancholy, sense of loosing part of you feelings, even mixed with a kid of sad joy, while remembering something that is no longer there.
This is rather confusing. IIRC both Arial and Times New Roman let you express all 26 alphabets. Now if Naskh has Nastaleeq have differing number of characters, is this a mere font issue or is there something more fundamental differing between the two?
If there's a public database of all copyrighted content they can't just assume without checking.

As far as copyrighting is concerned I think it's fair to require you to put some effort into protecting your works.

However free copyright should only last about 20 years after that a small fee should be required on the 21'st year and that fee should grow exponentially[1] every 10 years from then on.

If it's valuable enough to you you will pay the fee but if it isn't you will release it into the public domain.

That will prevent people keeping thing copyrighted for too long and companies like Disney could keep their stuff copyrighted for at least 100 years before the fees get too large.

If it's no profitable there's no point in keeping it copyrighted and you're just hurting the public domain by doing so.

>I don't think anybody's circumventing the DMCA, so much as tacking on additional measures not required by law. Anybody who's doing algorithmic enforcement, including YouTube and newly Vimeo, is in the same boat; in large part it's the result of negotiations with media partners who demand it in exchange for access to content. So, they're doing something separate from what the law requires (in addition to what the law requires) in order to satisfy partners... not really circumvention.

To me, it seems that these hosting providers have traded safe harbor under the law, for safe harbor under contract with their media partners, in exchange for content. In so doing, they enable those partners to send what effectively amounts to takedown spam, where under the DMCA regime they'd open themselves to a lawsuit if they didn't conduct due diligence.

How is that not circumvention?

Excuse the tone of my posts here: I'm very perplexed. I get that you're upset, but you seem to be completely ignoring, and here even dismissing, the underlying cause for your spurious takedown notice.

They went for scale before App Academy and in doing so exacerbated an already present schism in the quality of each players' respective applicant pools created by App Academy's more flexible payment options.

Dev Bootcamp initially was a 10 week program for 20 students, then that was upped to ~40 students, and finally to 54. So in the first year, ~110-120 students were educated. Then, in an effort to scale, they moved to a 9-week rolling cohort broken into 3-week phases where ~16 new students walk in the door every 3 weeks. This means they are now bringing in almost 3x as many students per year (only considering the main SF branch) as when they started, and doing so in a time where there are plenty of other coding schools around as alternatives for prospective students.

Where before they got basically the whole applicant pool and brought in a smaller percentage of them, they now get a fraction of the (admittedly larger) pool and accept more of them. Oh, and they charge $12,200 upfront whereas App Academy allows you to opt only to repay them out of your first year salary after the program. I just saw an article earlier this week about how a much too high percentage of the American populace has no emergency fund (a few month's expenses to float them in the case of job loss, etc.), so given that it's no surprise that people with a choice of those 2 payment options will opt to choose App Academy. Frankly a lot of people don't even have the ability to choose because they don't have the upfront $12k + living expenses to cover Dev Bootcamp -- not sure if it's still the case but App Academy's office at one point was also zoned as a live-work space and students were able to live there, reducing their expenses during the program to almost nothing.

There is some (mostly) back-channel chatter about the potential padding of hiring numbers, but I think the prestige difference is more so the result of App Academy's more measured approach to scaling and more student-friendly terms resulting in less brand dilution, though perhaps at the cost of missing out on the big payday here.
Does that translate to: "it's easy to get a DS job now adays since no one is actually doing anything super advanced. So its unlikely you are under qualified for the job" ??

While to say that all Linux drivers are crappy is false, it's as much as false the (almost) opposite.

In Linux, I always have problems with devices, in one way or another (specifically Ubuntu, but I think it's fairly representing the concept), both for new things, old things, not-so-new things, obscure things, etc. etc.

To complicate the problem, drivers fit in stacks that may interact in unexpectedly broken ways. This means that say, a wireless audio adapter, may work only 50% of the times it's connected. I was using Windows long ago, and I don't remember this category of things happening (I guess because there are only a few Windows).

So, certainly they work "OK", but one needs to be quite flexible on what OK means.
I've got two machines which are not so arcane, and I have at least 4, hardware-related (not stack-related), open bugs.

I have tried this in the past. I dont know if it's the same product or other, but same idea. My main problems where that I want to pause, maybe google some words or terms or person, go back to previous sentence, or skip some sentences alltogether. It gave me a lot of trouble because I couldn't find the text I wanted to highlight/rightclick/google etc, so I ended up taking more time for the same text.

That being said, I do believe it has it's uses. Maybe on a mobile device, maybe for literature only.

You did a pretty good job expressing those concepts in English in your post. Sure, there's no single word for each of those expressions, but that only means they're not that popular in everyday usage.

If they were popular enough, we'd say: English does have words for those ideas! They're "feierabend" and "saudade".

Exactly the same as "gesundheit".

A tiny fraction of art is original. Compare 10,000 songs and you see a few patterns repeated over and over and over. Compare 1,000 high end fasion shows and you see the same repeating patterns. TV and movies are so drivitive you can often predict lines word for word ahead of time. The human body can twist in amazing ways but sculpture focuses on a miscule fraction of them. Etc etc.

Even abstract paintings tend to rectangles way more than say an octagon. I mean there explorations of form and color yet almost none of them cut the canvas into an interesting shape.
