All society is some form of collectivism :)

As is often the case with disruptive innovation, I think the solution is something non-obvious and non-coercive, more bottom-up than top-down.
It was meant for hypocrites like Pharisees of the day. And to make His point He also said, who if their donkey or oxen has fallen in pits will not pick them up immediately on Sabbath day. It was meant for the people who were using religion as cover for their own agenda and these are the same people who crucified Jesus. Jesus said this not for evolution, it was meant to show the truth.

Good read. After you finish this book I'd suggest the free Javascript Allonge https://leanpub.com/javascript-allonge/read
An excellent intermediate/advanced javascript book.
There are, of course, Christians who would be perfectly happy with the idea of Jesus being a pot-smoker and drinker. And let's ignore the fact that the original Christians would probably have been aghast at the thought of Gentiles daring to consider themselves as having a relationship with their God.

According to the stories, he turned water into wine. He did work on the Sabbath. He showed clear disrespect to his religious elders and his parents, vandalized temple property, and was a suspected (legally, convicted) blasphemer and domestic terrorist. Depending on what apocrypha you believe, he possibly did much worse as a child, to the point that he had to raise a kid from the dead to vouch for the assumption that he'd killed said kid. Jesus was, even by the most generous of accounts, kind of a punk.
My brain is racing with assumptions right now, but I'll just come out and ask, what's a tier 2/3 city?

How would unikernels running on Xen give you better density than containers (which are really just namespaced processes) running on a shared Unix kernel on bare metal? Wouldn't the Xen-based approach have more overhead?
Even though Amazon EC2 is Xen-based (internally), you have to run a lightweight Linux distro to use Mirage on AWS EC2 (at least for now), as I learned from the MirageOS posting a few weeks ago.

I'm curious to see whether Gyft drops Bitcoin support as a result of this.
I see a lot of sentiment against the post-WW2, american, timber-based style of construction on HN and I've never really understood it.

I view modern american residential construction as a model of efficiency. Why build a house out of brick or stone when timber is completely sufficient, and the latter is much, much cheaper to come by? It's not like timber just magically stops working one day - there are plenty of houses in older parts of the US that are 100+ years old. Any argument along the lines of "they don't build them like they used to" is likely ignoring survivorship bias among older homes.

And for the record, ceilings over 8FT are not a luxury item in the US. Any major home improvement store sells framing lumber and drywall in a variety of sizes over 8FT long:

I thought that might be the reason, too, so I went to check the number of employees. According to Wikipedia, Baidu has "34,600 (As of March 31, 2014)", and Google "52,069 (Q2 2014)"

So Baidu is 2/3 of Google - it's not just the size.
Not all of them. I'd say that the majority are just second hand purchases.

Of course, they can't afford to really maintain them, so once a major component breaks down... they're probably out of luck and have to sell the car for parts or something.

Yes, you are right, this is not a binary classification and it really depends on the perspective. What I was trying to say is that - on some levels - the two approaches are almost antithetical.

At first I thought they were announcing a formal specification for PHP. Who's going to win the race to build the first formally verified blogging platform?
Persistent data structures allow for the appearance of cloning (you have a new thing) but are much more efficient behind the scenes (you don't actually copy everything). So if you find yourself doing a lot of defensive cloning, then Mori or this library would probably be a lot faster for you.
There have been a huge number of projects with this issue - e.g. fedora's directory service, called 389.
But I think far and away the worst offender for me was chef. In the early days of using chef, googling for chef cookbook was a total disaster.

I know it sounds nice, and probably super cool when you're talking to your friends to name your project a memorable common word, but for anyone reading this that's in the middle of a new project - please try to at least think about people who might want to google the name...
Not parent, but if you make those (completely reasonable) points when you criticize PHP he's not talking about you when he says "HN Hipsters." He's talking about the "What kind of idiot uses php?" crowd, which unfortunately hangs out here too much, and frankly doesn't understand which parts of php actually are good or bad because their entire opinion is based off blog posts not experience.

I don't think you're one of those.
This simply isn't possible in a way that would be convenient.

For example, how would I make a string abstraction? Create a class? Ok, so we have:

$str = new String("foo")
$str->replace(...)

over

$str = "foo"
str_replace($str, ...)

This is fine, if we ignore the fact it's much slower.

Where it really gets annoying is PHP's lack of operator overloading. That means to concatenate I'd need to do

$str->concat($str2)->concat(new String(" "))->concat($str3)

instead of

$str . $str2 . " " . $str3

There's things you can do to make the API a little bit more convenient (i.e. allow it accept PHP strings, etc.), but ultimately it becomes a huge pain, especially if you want to start interoperating with other libraries that are using a different abstraction or, more likely, using the regular PHP types and functions.
In deference to my professor, I'll just observe why "The fact that we haven't observed a nuclear war in history might have less to do with the likelihood of nuclear war and more with the fact that fewer people would be able to observe that history," seems sillier than Carter's (not Tipler's!) anthropic principle. The anthropic principle considers only two classes of universe: one that will at some point host observers of any sort, and the other that will not. Clearly we find ourselves in a universe of the former class. Whereas your statement invokes any number of possible histories and events, and blithely assigns probability distributions to them. I value parsimony.

If you want to live in the city center (i.e. 1km radius), then an apartment will probably cost a bit more. But I'd say that withing a 3-5km radius $250 is normal for longer term rent and probably $300-320 for something super quick.

But most of the people renting don't sign any contracts anyway so you can just say that you'll stay for 1 year and pack your bags after 1-2-3 months, or as long as you paid the deposit for.
interesting, although the old mantra of "hardware is cheap, developers are expensive" is still true. you could hire 10 perl/c/c++/javascript/php/etc dev with ease for your project, but struggle to find one ocaml dev. And even then your ocaml dev will need to know the mirage library, xen and have a good knowledge of way more stuff than your project scope

that said, it's still really cool, but it's not something i'd use, and especially not in production
Some updates ..

From an average user perspective, I tested both uBlock and SB. I used uBlock with Ghostery. They both seem fine and easy to work with. I then installed SB on its own (disabling uBlock and Ghostery). I did not like the results. Out of the box, without changing any settings, I was seeing Ads images on Facebook and other places.

I am going to stick with uBlock and Ghostery for now. I am happy to see your efforts with uBlock/SB. I hope you get to a point where you can have single product in a simplified manner so even an average user could use it without worrying about anything technical.

A blog post about nothing.
I don't think Plasma Active has ever been about "da apps". It also doesn't hurt that inherent to its design, you bank on the same demographic that Jolla and Ubuntu Touch do - Qt mobile apps. Any of those that ran on any of the above platforms, which would also run on iOS and Android, would also run on Plasma Active. And all the desktop OSes as well.

Also, mobile is the perfect direction for a perceived "top heavy" desktop to move towards, because it requires you to simplify your UI to accommodate it.

The thing in the KDE world to understand is that QML changes everything. The Plasma widgets we have now were built on top of Qt4 series technologies and were often language hodge podges of Python, Ruby, Perl, C++, etc. They weren't hardware accelerated, and the standard toolkit was lacking compared to the QtQuick Controls of today.

And the entire QML thing is about fluidity. Whereas old Qt Widgets let you build wildly complex UIs that were pretty much static, QML is best suited to simple parts doing crazy transitions and fancy effects. Even if you convey the same complexity, the appearance difference can be enough to be intuitive for some where, say, kdenlive is not.

So I don't think Plasma Active is a "mistake". It is a great place to see the next geenration of applications for KDE in general come from, since they have to be focused. It is slow, and it is not going to see any market adoption any time soon, but trying to aggressively take the mobile market I feel is a mistake right now - it needs mindshare that requires Qt5 adoption which requires the KDE5 series to get into its stride first.
BSprites:  Combined web assets using Typed Arrays and Data URIs
Yes. The only way the carbs are stored in the human body is in the form of glycogen, in liver and skeletal muscle. There's about 1 kg of it in total, maybe a bit more if you're a trained athlete. And glycogen binds about, maybe, up to 3 times as much water by weight. So, altogether, about 4 kg.

After switching to keto, glycogen is used up gradually, due to no carbs entering the body. And the water is also lost. Therefore, the "signing bonus" of the keto diet - a significant weight loss in the beginning, but due to water lost, not fat burned.

BUT. That only accounts for about 4 kilos, maybe just a bit more. You can't really blame water for a gain of 20 pounds.

Am I missing something?
It really depends on the workload. For some use cases like databases or analytics, ARM is often less efficient than the latest Intel chip almost anyway you measure it. The increased operational throughput per CPU, which can be integer factors, offsets any differences in cost or power consumption.

ARM's sweet spot has traditionally been for CPUs that are otherwise going to be underutilized, saving both power and CPU costs in those circumstances. As cloud platforms become better at ensuring maximum utilization of CPUs, and a larger portion of workloads become throughput intensive, it moves things a bit more in Intel's direction. ARM will probably find a better market in the Internet of Things than in the data center.

Loyalty from a corporate perspective means things like pensions, health care, not laying off 20k people every fall, etc. Like the days that you could work for GE your entire life and actually retire. There was a mutual loyalty. The company took care of you and you therefore took care of the company. Now someone could offer me a couple thousand dollars extra in pay and I'd be gone in a heart beat. Don't forget that legal entity is made of people who decide how that legal entity will function.

Also if corporations can't show loyalty, a human quality, then how can they be people?

1) How is this different from cars driven by humans? In my country (no knowledge about other countries), you insure the car, and not the driver. The insurer doesn't care about the driver and shouldn't.

2) I think there should be always an option to drive the car yourself.

I actually like European houses because they have a sense of being of a longer timespan than I am, it reminds me that I'm transient in a much slower changing world.

Seeing the cities change around me faster than I can absorb those changes always weirds me out. In Europe you have that too in areas where there is a lot of construction but it only gets to me with places that I know well. I remember almost driving into a tree when I rounded a corner into Amsterdam one fine weekday morning and saw a - new to me - very large building that had been built during my stay in Canada. Of course for people that had seen it built it arrived very slowly but for me it might as well have popped out of the ground.

So you can imagine what I feel when I'm in North America.
There are still pretty heavy economic restrictions on US Citizens & companies doing business within Cuba. IIRC there is also US imposed restrictions on foreign companies who do business in the US doing business in Cuba as well. It makes for a very messy question.
>There are, of course, Christians who would be perfectly happy with the idea of Jesus being a pot-smoker and drinker

I have yet to know such a Christian.

>And let's ignore the fact that the original Christians would probably have been aghast at the thought of Gentiles daring to consider themselves as having a relationship with their God.

Gentiles were not allowed to have relationship with Jesus and God for 10 years after Jesus ascended. But God told Peter that Gentiles were allowed to have relationship with Him and Jesus. It was word of God, again not evolution by any means.

>According to the stories, he turned water into wine. He did work on the Sabbath.

I answered this in other comment above.

>to the point that he had to raise a kid from the dead to vouch for the assumption that he'd killed said kid

Are you kidding me? Not sure which Bible you read. But He made little girl alive again who was sick and her soul had left the body.

>Jesus was, even by the most generous of accounts, kind of a punk.

I also read the whole thing, even though I started disliking myself halfway through.

I also wonder why this is on HN. But the reason it was written is eyeballs, a thin excuse to tie together a bunch of viral videos. This kind of 'meta-viral' post is easy to write because you're working with a vetted pool of already-popular content.

All you need is to suspend the reader's disbelief enough, with your narrative, that your post does make sense, that there is a thesis statement here. The popularity of the content you're cribbing from does the rest.

Amen. I think this thread could use a little: http://eev.ee/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-design/

It has never been about whether PHP can get shit done, it's that given languages that actually had formal design processes and make your days as a coder a joy, why would you move TO PHP.

There are simply so many other options.
"Yes, lots of American homes have similar decor"

Aside from the cherry picking of the author, and the natural tendency for people to use the simplest possible backgrounds when they're recording a video, it's worth noting that the simplicity of modern interior construction, and the use of neutral colors, is completely intentional and desired.

It isn't accidental or unnoticed, and isn't some side effect of cheapness or thrift, or the "temporary worker" suburbanite, as the post seems to imply. It's that we learned through many generations that the things that you think look pretty awesome today often don't look that great in the near future, and soon interior design is an enormous burden instead of an expression or enjoyment.

In the 70s homes were filled with wallpaper, wall to wall carpet, shelves with trophies and knick-knacks, etc. And then we collectively decided that we didn't like wallpaper, carpet, shelves or knick-knacks.

So we moved to more malleable internal decorating that can more easily change with tastes. Pictures and accents instead of strongly colored walls. Throw rugs instead of carpet. Decorative free-standing elements instead of bolting stuff on a wall.

This newer model has held since pretty much the 80s. Simple interiors that you make your own, and you can keep making your own with every change of your taste, instead of being tied to the taste of you from a decade ago, or worse the taste of generations before you.
Consider though that having the software only gets you so far, though. the modern Linux desktop languishes from a lack of any compelling vendor options for Linux powered devices. You don't get mindshare and take over the personal computer world if nobody can get your software. And having to manually install the OS instantly knocks out 99% of potential users.

So I do think at this point desktop Linux is at a crossroads where someone really needs to throw the money in to take over the personal computer space that Chromebooks are already dominating. Except instead of ChromeOS, throw around some Fedora, Lubuntu, Ubuntu, OpenSuse, etc devices. Same general idea, just without saying "were Google, use our cloud stuff because your computer can't do anything else", instead "heres a computer that does all the things the Windows machines do, except on ARM CPUs that cost a third as much and don't compromise".

I guess for that, though, you need freedreno and lima to get some love so we can finally have some first class mobile GPU Mesa drivers, because the binary blobs are hopeless wrecks even if they ran fine in a classic X or Wayland stack.
It's complicated. You could argue stress is always the root cause and what varies is simply one's reaction to the stress. I feel deeply uncomfortable drawing a line between people who have "real depression" and "stress caused" depression. You wouldn't make the same comparison with people who have less advanced degrees of cancer, and yet those too can be stress induced, and thus viewed as "self inflicted."
I once had a friend take a low paying dev job just because he needed it. He wouldn't qualify for insurance for 3 months and had recently adopted kids. Then another offer came by that paid more and started insurance day one. The employer had the nerve to tell him that they were upset with his lack of loyalty to the company. If that company had any loyalty to the employee he wouldn't have had to work for 3 months without health insurance.
I work at a publisher with millions of digitized historical books that we OCR and Abbyy is what we use. Nothing else came close to Abbyy. It is incredibly good, but incredibly expensive.
You'd probably have to move more to a CSP type concurrency versus threads if you were to leverage multicore machines. Erlang doesn't allow individual processes to share memory with each other, but Erlang is undoubtedly a great platform to build apps in that make use of concurrency (depending on use case). Something tells me that the use cases for which one would use Mirage for would be those more likely to use Erlang-type concurrency semantics versus highly multithreaded code using shared memory.
You can also hint on interfaces. If strict typing is important, I use the SPL primitive wrapper classes like SplString or SplInt http://php.net/manual/en/class.spltype.php
Well, it doesn't have to be slower. The generated bytecode can be the same. And there could still be syntactic sugar left to allow for easy concating.
Good point. Though, my impression of Andrew Ng's tenure at Google was that he was running a high visibility deep learning project[1] that was attracting some big names, and one would think he'd have had some authority to get hardware provisioned sooner rather than later. Certainly his level of authority is much greater within Baidu now than it was at Google.

Part of the reason we built this is because applying online nowadays is like a black hole and a lot of times you never know the status of your application.

With this, at least you'd be able to know when anyone actually looked at it. Based on how much interest they showed, you could probably make an educated guess as to whether they were interested or not. Basically, at least you get some feedback.

I actually applied to a couple of jobs to test it and had some interesting results. For example, in one interview there was much more mouse-hovering/interest focused around my front-end development skills as opposed to UX. Similarly, I could see what projects they clicked on and during the interview, they did ask about those. It is reasonably helpful for interview prep.

There were some people that just printed out the resume though, so I wasn't able to get any data with them.
I think this might be something that we continue to deal with. If people just want to use Facebook on their phone, then that's what the carriers will give them. Just because the tech community thinks that is dumb; if 10 million "poor" people want that service, they'll get it.
