I do, I think Snowden is a hero.
That does not stop me from thinking that this kind of behavior should be punished exemplarily.
This is no "new product" leak, nor a ethical hack performed to expose a hidden truth. It's just some private pictures stolen and uploaded to the internet for the public to see.
Jennifer Lawrence has all the rights to take private nude pictures of herself in the privacy of her own house. Nobody has the right to steal them, even if her iCloud password was Katniss.
At this point I would typically google, but let me ask: I have never heard of Okidata or Brother. Could you explain how this thread reminded you of this conversation and could you describe Okidata and Brother, please?
> It would be impossible to show the prices with sales tax when there are 50 different states with differing sales tax laws

Heck, the state level sales tax rates are even the easy part. Within states there are counties which often levy additional sales tax, and then cities within the counties do it as well. These county and municipal tax rates are additionally often comprised of a variety of "temporary assessments" which appear and expire seemingly at random. Knowing which rate is charged at a given location devolves into a very difficult problem once you realize there's no centralized address-to-jurisdiction database, nor a centralized jurisdiction-to-tax-rate database.
The crypto appears to be fairly standard - it uses NaCl's crypto_box to encrypt and decrypt almost everything, with a per-session keypair authenticated by the user's long-term key. Code quality is a bit OpenSSL-esque though.
I did something similar to this a while back, called qdupe[0], written in Python. It doesn't do the deleting for you, but is very fast at identifying duplicates if you have a lot to compare. Based on the fastdup algorithm.

Sounds like either they're not aware of Retroshare (uses Qt for GUI), or they think developing in C++ is too much of a hurdle.

It's peer-to-peer, uses web-of-trust, completely encrypted, already has chat/mail/"www"/voice chat/file sharing/etc.
Still missing the video chat plug-in though, but it's on the to-do list.
Please tell me you reported him to the professor?

Meta: Anybody knows why IshKebab was downvoted?
So is the minecraft codebase terrible? I would guess it is based on the classes of bizarre bugs that seem to exist. I could almost believe Bethesda had a hand in its development.
When people take the phrase: " Stallman was right, as usual." and suggest that this is a claim of infallibility. Overstating one's case doesn't win any new friends.

The claim is that on these issues Stallman is more usually right than wrong. Do you have anything that suggests otherwise?
I am interested in Android Developer position. But unfortunately,I couldn't find the email address to send an email.
True, although honestly your tongue-in-cheek enum example is probably closer to where the line should be.
My wife has worked as an editor for 30 years. That description fits her job perfectly.
DART has Erlang style actors that support concurrent threads of execution - so yes.
Shared memory no AFAIK, but Dart seems to have nicer syntax.
Are there other paths of study relating to depression that have are gathering interesting evidence? Where do you believe the field should be looking?
Your final app with Scala may well be smaller than with Kotlin - Scala makes very high level abstractions possible, and while the standard library is large, anything you don't use won't be included in your app. Kotlin always struck me as a bit halfhearted - if I'm going to go to the effort of learning a new language, I want one that gives me a real power boost, not just a small incremental improvement.
Glitchiness of occlusion may be driver or hardware dependent. I've been using it successfully, but haven't tested on a variety of hardware. The bigger issue is the two way communication between GPU and CPU. You want your pipeline to be one way, otherwise you either have stalls waiting for results (poor or inconsistent framerates), or things becoming visible one or more frames later than they should. For some applications, the latter is acceptable. For Minecraft (style) chunks, it might mean sometimes large amounts of terrain popping in a frame or two too late, which could be very noticeable.

It seems like a combination of both might be feasible. Do something smart like this article on the CPU, which feeds into a greatly reduced set of occlusion queries, small enough to perhaps not introduce significant stalls using the first method.

However, in this article's case, he's specifically targeting the mobile edition of minecraft, where hardware occlusion is not yet universally available! So fast CPU versions are definitely warranted, and I think he's got a really good solution.
As I recall, they made the existing software architecture more scalable, maintainable, and available. This was no mean feat, either. Our clients were pretty huge, well-known companies. There was quite a bit of language & framework discussion to go along with all that. But I think their experience levels also just allowed them to accomplish more in less time. To us, they looked like superheroes. We'd get mental blocks trying to think through situations that they had long ago met and conquered. In a similar vein, I think if most of us here at HN went back to our first job, we'd be well ahead of the curve and probably considered "wolves" in a very short time.
Idiocracy was still a bad movie.
Sure that part is right. Its the part where he had to spend Saturday calculating tax rates for every in-state purchase depending on address. That's broken; it's part of why he gave up the business.
Java is getting reified generics via a really cool mechanism called classdynamic (which also enables efficient implementation of tuples). This is pretty much necessitated by value types. See project Valhalla: http://www.infoq.com/news/2014/07/Project-Valhalla
It is an absolute shame that Ada did not take its place as a dominant player early on. But people have difficulties reasoning about cost in computing. The verification cost for the toolchains pretty much kept places I worked at out of it. It is too bad that those costs were not treated as public goods and paid for out of tax money. I expect it would have been a good investment.
things like this always make me think about how things like great cooking, visual art and music (im sure other stuff too) have managed to implicitly understand complicated and nuanced behaviors of our senses.
This is a convenient but flawed argument that assumes an equilibrium. Hacking is often (mostly?) about vulnerabilities that change over time.
It looks like a pretty well put together project just based off of what is in the readme. While I don't have any immediately applicable input I could definitely see this being useful in trying to visualize some of the graph theoretic representations of intermediate values within some manifold learning algorithms (and there certainly could be enough data points that this graphviz alone would be non-feasible (though sfdp might be if I had read those docs right)).

From the paper, it is interesting how different the results of sfdp and mars look like.

Renovo is building extremely high performance electric vehicles in Campbell, CA.

This company was started by some friends of mine and I have been working with them as a "side project", building the back end data collection platform (modern cars generate a ton of low level data). They are growing fast and are now in need of a skilled full stack software engineer to take this MVP to the next level. The current platform is a mixture of open software (linux, influxdb) and Java. So far on this project I have worked on debugging device drivers to building graphs in D3.js and everything in between. The right person will not only have a huge impact on the choice of languages and direction of the platform but potentially the electric car industry. Local south-bay preferred, but the right person could work remotely.

It was far from "the mere allegation". It was a long history of doing so, over many years, combined with overt efforts to break the products of competitors, combined with owning virtually all of the market for PC operating systems.

I'm as skeptical of big Pharma as the next guy, but to say with such grandiose broad-stroked generalizing that psychiatry (or, perhaps you mean instead/also neurological pharmacology) is not science is simply untrue.

Anyone with Google at their fingertips can find a dozen peer-reviewed articles about serotonin's link to mood and behavior.

Okidata and Brother are two brands of printers, not computers. The point of his story is that the kids were talking about stuff they didn't have a clue about, which would sound stupid to anyone who did know about it. Someone would look equally stupid throwing around business terms whose meanings they were ignorant of.
"...inherit little but discrimination..."

And also mistrust and apathy towards learning. Our societal problems transcend race because we have cultural problems at the lower end of income. Those cultural problems are self-perpetuating regardless of one's genetic make-up.

When you're poor, it's easy to be resentful of those who aren't; it's easy to pass resentment and mistrust on to your children; it's easy to just do whatever might make life a little less miserable at the moment (instead of thinking of long term consequences.) And any of us are susceptible to behaving this way if we become poor.

For those of us fortunate enough to leave that all behind and become successful, it's easy for us to forget how hard life once was and how to relate to those who are less fortunate.

SwiftStack - Hiring London, UK - Full Time / Contract

SwiftStack builds a delivery and monitoring platform around OpenStack Swift. Our product manages some of the largest installations out there, and with a recent expansion into the UK we have a large customer who will need some more localized help. SwiftStack is headquartered in San Francisco, however a number of us work from remote locations throughout the US and Asia Pacific. This will be a similar role in the UK.

In particular this position will be directly involved with a specific UK customer and will be on-site a few days a week. You will be the liaison for this customer back to the "mothership". The role will be half technical and half customer facing.

Knowledge of large storage systems and OpenStack Swift a plus, but in particular someone with a good knowledge of Linux systems administration and deployment is likely to be able to pick up on what they need to know rather quickly.

The position will also involve travel to outside of Manchester UK on a semi-regular basis. Travel expenses will be covered.

Looking for someone for full time or on contract for 12 months.

Please hit me up if you're interested in learning more. I would be glad to share more information and get to learn more about you!

Mosh implements a delta algorithm between the server's buffer and the client's buffer. This means if packet loss is occurring, to sync back up, the server only needs to send the delta of its state to the client.

SSH, on the other hand, is stream-oriented, and will replay everything that has occurred, even if the resulting changes to the display in the end are minimal.

It's similar to how something like VNC functions compared to the X11 protocol. The VNC protocol is more efficient and tolerant of lossy or low-latency connections.

E-prime feels more difficult than the exercise hinted at here, namely, removing all trace of first person identity from one's communications. (Though years of intermittently practicing the latter might have had an impact here...)

I've been off work for some time due to personal issues, but am ready to dive back into the workforce at full strength. I'm looking for a JUNIOR or INTERN-level dev job at a not-too-large but not-too-small company I can make my home. Ideally, you'd have an engineering team of at least 5-10 people and a product that is bringing in money (even if you're not profitable).

I'm open to different languages and frameworks, provided you can give me time to ramp up on unfamiliar technologies.
My previous experience (1.5 years) is with a small hardware company writing software for manufacturing and testing fiber optic switches. I've been off work for a while due to some medical issues, but I'm as sharp as ever and ready to get back on the horse. If you're a web company, I'd prefer to work in a more backend focused area. Outside of web dev, I'm open to pretty much anything.

Send me an email and I'll definitely get back to you. :) I'm very willing to do technical/programming challenges if it looks like we might be a good fit.

Depression is atrophy of the limbic system. I understood that flooding your brain in serotonin stimulated neuron growth.

(It has never been the case that depression = low serotonin. No one has ever believed that.)
I'm confused. Who's to say the 1st-grade experience was critical? Did it change by high school? Maybe its the high-school years that are critical, and in these children circumstances were unchanged.

Just sayin, without varying something there's no pinning a date on it. "Fix this by 1st grade or its too late" is what it sounds like.
We are doing our small part to help.

I sometimes post about my company working on the next big "social platform". And we are trying to do things RIGHT - open source, fully distributed (while respecting CAP theorem), people own their own data, etc.

So when it comes to notifications, like in every other area we want to encourage the apps to use "best practices" and only notify people of what they really WOULD want to know about. That means turning down the "slot machine" factor and handing over control over notifications to the people. To do this, we needed to design a standard, expressive interface and "language" that people could use in any app across the platform to quickly indicate what they want.

And here's an overview of how it works withte rest of the system:

Every piece of data in Q (http://platform.qbix.com) is typically stored in a Stream. Which means things like access control (privacy), real time updates (like chat), offline notifications (delivered to any endpoints), etc. are all implemented by the system and available to the app for free.

The user can fine tune notifications settings for any stream or type of stream, and each app can provide Rules with configurable settings and thresholds. For example, a "Groups/activity" published by a user who is in my contacts under a "Friends" or "Family" label and matching my interests would accumulate enough weight to bust through my notification threshhold for sending me an in-app notification, or an email, or an sms. At certain hours of night, my notificaion threshold goes up. When I get into my car, and start moving fast, my notification threshhold goes up until I get out of the car, so only the most urgent things distract me.

And that red badge on the icon? It should earn your trust, like all interface elements it represents a relationship and shouldn't cry wolf. It should NOT show the number of messages waiting for you, but rather show the number of streams with "important" messages posted since you last checked that stream on ANY device.

In short - there are lots of things to solve but they only have to be solved once. That's what we have been working on for over 3 years.

Kotlin is very similar to Scala, but far less ambitious and not as focused on functional programming. In fact there have been various posts pointing out the similarities between Scala and Swift. It's rather pragmatic but there hasn't been much interest in it so far. Perhaps things will pick up after hitting v1.0. Pitching it as a Java substitute for Android would be a clever move. Java 8 is a poor substitute for Kotlin or Scala, and on Android you're stuck on even more archaic syntax. I'd be glad to see Kotlin replace java on Android.
not nearly as fancy, but it gets the job done for me:
