> I didn't realise Nimrod had this feature, so I might need to take another look at it.

Yeah, it has it to a certain extent. But it's a minefield at the moment, and will never be as good as Idris for instance. But I'm sure it will good enough for bit vectors.

> I'm not sure why you'd say that? ...

You're right, I was thinking procedures, but wrote functions. A pure function is of course an excellent abstraction of combinatorial logic. A procedure could potential abstract sequential logic as well, with some restrictions/modifications.. but you really want other abstractions.

> Bluespec took the approach of modifying Haskell syntax to look like Verilog.

I'm very suspicious of this approach. If you expect Verilog but get something quite different, it could cause frustration. But I haven't tried Bluespec, so I shouldn't criticize too much. I suppose it's the only way they had a hope of getting more adoption.
Some uses that come to mind:

1) increase traffic on articles that favor topic X (one the government likes). The publisher (owner of site) perceives it as public's interest, and adds more articles on X.

2) make some independent pro-government site appear more popular than it is. This could enabled ad money to come its way (including from state ad campaigns), as an indirect method of funding it.
An Experiment in Improving PyPy.js/Emscripten Compressiblity
I'm surprised no one has talked about atypical reproduction strategies. If someone was the type of person who would like to clone themselves, and they did it 50 times, their kids may be that type of person too (and there would be selection for clone-parents who educate kids to continue the tradition). This would be a locally adaptive behavior, and would end population decline.
> ssh-agent can be used if you really need to have multiple hops.

Possibly you mean, in one's ~/.ssh/config:

Host *.trusted.hosts another.one.trusted
ForwardAgent yes

The restriction with Host is that otherwise an untrusted host (or someone having compromised your remote account) could use your agent forwarding socket to identify as you.

I won't lie - I'm not 100% certain that this can be a massive business - BUT no one can deny that it brings value to early stage products/co's and will definitely bring value to the YC portfolio.

In addition, you're right - it really can help shed light on products/teams that generally wouldn't get the time of day.

Our product was submitted to producthunt (http://www.producthunt.com/posts/sparta) , we sat at the #1 position for a day - and it delivered a bunch of great prospects. We definitely wouldn't have been able to connect with so many Silicon Valley people so early, had it not been for PH.

Ask HN: Is it possible to build a physical viable “open source” product?
Hi Hners,

I've been asking myself for weeks, is it possible to build a product almost 100% open (software, electronics, CAO, etc.) and make a living with it.

I am an open source yellow belt developer (built django-adaptor) and it would be awesome to build my new project as a fully "open source" style device.

It would make it much more likely to succeed, more fun than to work on my own and would bring the price of the device down (so more people could benefit from it)

Have you seen such project already? How did it go?

For software, there is github.com or bitbucket.org, for electronics cards, there is website like fritzing.org, for CAD, there is grabcad.com. Is there other parts which can become open? (marketing website, designs, suppliers, etc.)

Would you be interested?

(Curious about the project: http://www.relinkdevice.com/)

> It's the same as some doctor coming to you with the words "The Internet is not working".

The medical equivalent of that would be a patient coming in with "doc, I've go a pain", and when the MD asks where, they answer "I'm not sure". Which happens. In both cases, the professionals need to figure out what the underlying problem is, despite being given unhelpful information.

Now, as far as "The Anatomy of X" is concerned, that's somewhat of an overloaded expression. In this context, we generally do expect to not only get structural but also functional information.

If you expect human language to always follow pre-defined conventions, you're just setting yourself up for a lot of unnecessary grief. Language and the meaning conveyed by it are naturally subject to context variations, drift, re-appropriations, and a whole slew of other transformations.

But even linguistically, "The Anatomy of X" is a victimless crime. I guarantee you that not one reader here clicked on the article and went "oh my, I sure was hoping they'd just print out the structs involved and left it at that".

Anatomy is a word overloaded by context in a way Physiology is not. If the article was named "The Physiology of a System Call", that does invoke a medical context where none was expected.

You provide no context for what, specifically, are you building, not even in general outlines. This asymmetrically puts the community into a disadvantaged position, by robbing us of the ability to properly prequalify the opportunity. For this reason, I've flagged this post, and kindly ask you to pitch on the specific opportunity, or provide more context for what you want to sell.
Is fertility heritable? Some aspects of it certainly are. i.e. lust, passion, lack of self control, working sperm, and mental traits such as the susceptibility to anti-abortion arguments, the desire to have a child in women, and the tendency towards religion are all either already proven to be heritable, or very likely are. I don't think the UN is taking this into account, since it's very un-PC and is mostly fairly recent research.

So as modernity attacks the desire to reproduce (with abortion/birth control, modernity, education, distraction, late marriage, etc.) we end up eliminating people who are vulnerable to not reproducing. The only people left will be ones who are resistant.

So my overall point is, even though the population growth rate may be slowing down, it doesn't mean it'll slow down forever. There are already resistant strains at low frequency in the population now - they will increase in prevalence and become the majority; they'll continuously suffer defections, some of whom will be high achievers due to not spending the time to reproduce, and the mindset that allows them to break away from conventionality - but as long as they don't reproduce, they'll be gone eventually.
Hey, great job here! Two questions:

1) Is it at all feasible to do the stabilisation on the fly so that the screen shows already-stabilised video (if not then why)?

2) Do you envisage building an API so that a third-party app can use your technology?

I never called it a conspiracy. Those were not my words.

People in power prefer constituents that produce wealth while being easy to control. That's just a fact of logistics. Encouraging education and arts that benefit critical thinking does not produce those results.

Encouraging education that relies on rote memorization does produce those results. So the people in power naturally choose the solution that best fits their own self interests. No conspiracy required.

That is why No Child Left behind was enacted. That's why the changes in Common Core (at least for mathematics) would make any mathematician lose their shit.

The evolutionary nature of a system does not require groups 'conspiring' in order to vote collectively on beneficial traits. It happens naturally.
Very cool. I hope this becomes at least a niche success and the price comes down in future versions.
That's because the font you're using is set to render without antialiasing – the old system just rendered everything larger and then scaled down (supersampling), while the new system actually uses real antialiasing and only when the flag is set.

> Microsoft did a good job conditioning people into not running stuff that is not signed

Maybe this changed with Windows 8, but till Windows 7, Microsoft did a good job conditioning people to completely ignore the signature.

Or at least the status of the signature, whether it is trusted or not. Is there a further escalation if there is no signature at all I'm not aware of?

If not, there was a great article describing how much work was needed to get the small green checkmark by getting a signature as trusted, and how this did not have any benefit at all (because of styling and design of the dialogue, and UAC asking anyway for confirmation). Of course I don't find that now, but I'm pretty sure it was on HN some time ago, maybe you saw it (probably before Windows 8).

From what I understand, a NAS box from Synology actually provides one of the closest experiences to that ideal. It comes with a Package Center[1], which is like an App Store for server applications, and like Android it can install from the standard source or from manually added repositories.

Then you get a panel to configure the new application, usually in a consumer-friendly way, like this iTunes Server[2].

This is why we shouldn't touch online voting systems with a ten foot pole. Stuff like blockchain and next-gen/biometric auth systems give us some hope that in the future we can eventually have online voting for elections, but I'd still like it to be researched and tested for decades before such a system is implemented in a country.
I love it... I wonder if there will be some kind of base station available? I'm thinking about Scout camps, where we turn up on a campsite with a few hundred kids, and often use radios to talk between important adults. The range would need to be a few miles, so WiFi is out of the question. Too expensive mind, but very very cool!

And when there will be abuses - and oh, there will be tons of abuses - they'll just say "but it's all legal!".

The so called "democratic" governments are getting out of control. A single vote every 4 years is not nearly enough to control what the governments do in power. We need an overhaul of our political systems, one that makes them much closer to the population having more control over the voting of laws.

I'd look to Switzerland, Finland and Germany for inspiration there, but I'd go much further than that. I'd use their ideas for referendums only as a starting point for reforming the government systems of the world.

Reading a few comments here and thinking about yours, I realize that it could make a huge difference.

At present, I see the UK as a 2 or 3 party system, none of whom represent me (or a number of the people I speak to). Now say all the polls had been manipulated and the green party had a demonstrable chance of getting in, then I would likely vote for them. At present no reason.

First past the post is really the weakest form of democracy possible. The very phrase "tactical voting" demonstrates that it fails in its purpose.

I described in my comment how the comment by tptacek is not correct; I can state again: it "corrects" klodolph's comment, and yet klodolph's comment was correct and did not deserve correction. tptacek tries to use this comment as an example, turning to the side to address the audience to voice this correction towards everyone with the "not really focussed on you" hedge, but uses the "not too loose" quoting to make it clear that klodolph is still the example.

This particular way in which tptacek's comment is "mistaken" is related to the tone and attitude tptacek takes in his comments. If this were the only instance, even the only instance for this particular topic, it would be one thing, but this is a common issue with tptacek's comments. The pattern is that there are certain "common misconceptions" that everyone has, and tptacek is not generous to the poster of any specific comment that they might not possess them.

I further believe that it is a serious problem on Hacker News that people do not address these kinds of tone issues: that it is perfectly fine to "HEADDESK", claim that certain beliefs are "virulent", and to even use the word "nonsensical" to describe someone's idea, and yet attempts to point out issues in the tone of peoples' comments is somehow a problem: something where you feel the need to say "don't make this conversation personal". More people need to stand up to this.

I, myself, have done some of these things in my own comments. I feel like most of these cases were situations where I was responding to someone else doing it to me, but I've found at least a few instances where that is not the case. It makes me very unhappy that I contributed to this problem: someone should have also complained about my tone in those instances. It needs to be ok to exit the topic and address how someone is saying something, not just what was said.

To be clear, tptacek's position is correct: we don't need a new interface; klodolph's argument largely ends up arguing for fixing /dev/urandom. However, tptacek doesn't say this, as he has assumed that klodolph doesn't understand the difference between /dev/urandom and /dev/random, and then argued based on that assumption. If you read the other comments from klodolph, it is very very clear that he understands perfectly. tptacek could at least apologize.

A/B Testing Headlines On WordPress
I guess what I'm trying to do is understand the rationale behind your argument of "sender pays" and who is "consuming bandwidth" because it's not clear to me how things should be measured.

I will sketch out my argument as follows:

1. Data transfer requires mutual consent or else it either a) doesn't happen or b) is considered a network attack

2. On the internet today the majority of transfer flows are asymmetric; regular users download more than they upload. I don't know if this is the natural way of the universe or it happens this way because of the way residential broadband is structured i.e. more download capability than upload

3. People who have more outflow than inflow pay to be connected to the internet (i.e. servers)

4. People who have more inflow than outflow pay to be connected to the internet (i.e. regular users)

5. Somewhere this traffic has to meet in the middle and transition from a network where the sender is paying to the network where the receiver is paying

6. This is typically called a peering point and the transit here is usually settlement-free not because it's usually balanced (though in many cases it is) but because it's the point at which the sender-pays network meets up with the receiver-pays network. In other words the sender pays for the network transit from their servers all the way up to the peering point and the receiver pays for the network transit from the peering point onwards to their house.

7. When looking at the problem this way it's hard for me to determine who is "using" more network bandwidth because again, data is only transferred by the consent of parties on both the sender-pays and receiver-pays network

I understand the argument that Verizon is a Tier 1 ISP and thus deserves to be paid for transit. The Tier 1 ISP is actually Verizon Business a largely separate division of Verizon from Verizon Residential. But Level 3 is also a Tier 1 ISP and thus by that logic also deserves to be paid for transit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tier_1_network#List_of_tier_1_n...

I also understand the argument that "all peering needs to be roughly equal or else someone needs to pay" but again when company A has customers who send more than they receive and company B has customers who receive more than they send I can't understand why A and B don't agree to let the ratios move away from balanced. I understand historically the ratios were close to even but when they're both selling asymmetric service to their customers why insist on symmetric peering?

EDIT:

From Wikipedia "peering" is sometimes called "sender keeps"

"In computer networking, peering is a voluntary interconnection of administratively separate Internet networks for the purpose of exchanging traffic between the users of each network. The pure definition of peering is settlement-free, "bill-and-keep," or "sender keeps all," meaning that neither party pays the other in association with the exchange of traffic; instead, each derives and retains revenue from its own customers."
