Indeed, the P4 was a very odd CPU to program and optimise for - in some ways, it's the "most RISC-like" microarchitecture Intel has attempted. It was far more sensitive to things like instruction alignment and branch prediction than its successors and predecessors, and likely in the pursuit of higher clock frequencies, some instructions (e.g. shifts/rotates) were made several times slower. This meant near-optimal code sequences for the P6 family and often before that would perform horribly on the P4, and vice-versa. It could beat the PIII in "straight-line" execution of simple integer instructions with no branches, but the PIII was faster (even at a lower clock frequency) with more complex and branch-heavy instructions. It's probably the only x86 where a significant speed advantage can be obtained by extreme loop unrolling, a practice that is mostly counterproductive for post-Nehalem.

One of the more amusing P4 oddities is that certain 32-bit add/sub instructions will have a very slightly higher latency if there is a carry/borrow between the two 16-bit halves - it's very difficult to detect (I believe it's ~0.5 cycle), but it's there. This is probably a consequence of pipelining in the ALU itself.
People love writing articles about how everything that happens in other countries is inevitably the west's fault. Just go up the causal chain far enough 'til you find a westerner doing something and bam, it's the west's fault. Non-western people in this worldview have no agency, they simply react to the things the west does, so it's no surprise that everything is always the west's fault.

Inevitably "the West's fault" in these sorts of articles should always be read as "the fault of Westerners with whom the author disagrees politically". When people blame "the west" it's always those other westerners buggering the west up for everybody, not those westerners of whom the author is one, who have the correct, enlightened political opinions.

There is no power structure. Right now no one has any rights in that channel and that's going to be the case forever.

01:26 -ChanServ(ChanServ@services.)- Channel #hackernews is not registered.

There's no Operator in there. No one will get operator permissions unless _all_ people leave first, the first to rejoin will be the new 'owner'. A different scenario is a split, where people might get to own the channel in a segment of the network.

That's all fine, until the first trolls and spammers join the channel. Being able to issue mutes/bans IS helpful on IRC.

Note that this is not related to the power structure. Flat is good. The idea bramgg seems to suggest is that someone grabs the channel in his role as a YC/HN representative and 'donates' it to the people inside. Give 5-10 people permissions and .. leave it alone. THAT's the idea. Not HN staff patrolling that channel.
"The only junior developer jobs" seems a bit extreme. I'm in Cambridge MA (not exactly the middle of nowhere) in my first year after college at a company frequently interviewing junior people, even if we talk to more senior people. I also had lots of friends in college who got jobs as developers, most of them in the Bay Area.

I'm not saying abstinence-only education works or works better or as well as comprehensive sex education. Obviously the latter works better. I'm saying that the impact of sex education and access to contraceptives is, beyond a certain threshold, less important than socioeconomic factors: See: http://www.csmonitor.com/The-Culture/Family/Modern-Parenthoo... http://www.chicagonow.com/chicago-muckrakers/2012/07/study-t....

Quote from one of the authors of a study cited in the second article:

> "The wider that gap is [to the next socioeconomic rung of the ladder] the more likely these young girls are to think, 'You know what? It's so unlikely that I'm going to get there, even if I play by the rules and stay in school,'" said Kearney. "There's less return to making that investment in education, in delaying motherhood. If you're on this low economic trajectory, there's not much cost in having a teen birth. You didn't anticipate going to college or getting married anyway.

>>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

To clarify, there can be legit reasons for that resentfulness they hold. I'd argue the current construct of society definitely gives the appearance(or just out-right, _is the fact_) of well-to-do people benefiting from the poor. The War on Drugs is at least one of those systems.
This strikes me as blatant Putin apologism. Would Mearsheimer rather the US and NATO turn away, let Ukraine and its people slip behind Putin's Teflon Curtain, and encourage him to continue his empire seeking in other former Soviet dominions, like Finland or Hungary?

Blaming the US and Europe for "provoking" Russia's aggressive foreign policy is no better than blaming the US for "provoking" Bin Laden. It reeks of the worst kind of moral relativism that puts Putin's unmasked and shameless colonial ambitions on par with America's interests in protecting free trade and human rights abroad.
If you're comparing "narrow and deep" to "wide and shallow", neither won, really. Modern high-performance designs are basically "wide and deep" with lots of speculation, better branch prediction, and various tricks to almost eliminate the need to flush the pipeline.

Admittedly, none have quite the pipeline length of the P4, but Haswell's 14-19 stage pipeline definitely qualifies as "deep". Even ARM has gone deep - Cortex-A15 has a 15 stage integer pipeline, plus up to an additional 10 stages for some NEON/FPU instructions.

If anything won, it was designing to the reality of silicon transistor frequency scaling for 90nm and smaller.
The point of the article isn't where to lay blame for the security breach. It's to point out the hypocrisy of people who scream "Invasion of privacy" in every online conversation about the NSA, but somehow still feel justified in viewing or looking for these celebrity photos.
This is at least a somewhat divisive view, but I think that it's to a large degree straight up aptitude.

Some people are good at some things. They pick them up quickly, flesh out their skills quickly, and apply those skills well in an almost intuitive way. You can call this "intelligence," but some people will be very intelligent in other ways, and have no aptitude for a particular skill.

Maybe the aptitude is innate in your biology, maybe it's the result of nurture in your childhood, maybe it's even somewhat learnable as an adult, I don't know, but when you teach people things, some of them pick it up and apply it well, and others are much slower.
>Is waiting 5 years always an option?

If your goal, as stated above, is to get a "broad knowledge", then yes.

If you want to know recent research trends, or are doing research yourself, then no, go read current papers.

>Is 5 years always enough to distinguish good from bad science?

No, sometimes you have to wait even more. Just gave it as a delay period to counter the "read the peer reviewed papers" notion.

>Then, you still use the "peer reviewed" filtering, just add "test of time" to the pipeline.

No, I'm saying "forget the peer reviewed" in themselves, go for items that not only have stood the "test of time", but have also become succesful and well regarded books and/or university guides in their domain.

In essense, I'm saying that a journal's tiny "peer review" team is BS, the majority of the scientific community agreeing on matured material is better.

>Which is fine, as long as the topic is of level of importance to you at which being 5 years behind the trend is ok.

It's not a matter of "importance to you", it's what you want to use it for.

A subject could be extremely important to you as a study subject, and you could still avoid losing time with the current, unfiltered, papers as they come in.

It's only when you want to take advantage of recent research (e.g because you are a researcher yourself, or an implementor and needs a new solution etc) that you have to have the latest research -- which I think is different than "importance". Let's call it "business importance" if you wish...

While I share your wishes that more people would learn to program, this quote rubbed me the wrong way:

"Also if your job is easy enough to be done by a schoolchild after minimal training, I'm not sure you deserve it."

The question is not whether the job can done by a schoolchild with minimal training. The question is: Does your boss think that it can be done by a schoolchild with minimal training?

I don't have a solution. I don't want to see a license for programming or anything ridiculous---(although perhaps a license to manage programmers...), but there is a real problem here.

Not entirely sure why you're picking on the Aboriginals here, their well-known problems are caused by much more than just getting 'free' money every now and then. In Australia everybody is entitled to unemployment benefits for an indefinite length of time (as long as you're "looking for work", which doesn't mean much). The payments max out at around $1200/mo, which is still below the poverty line, but it is "just" enough to live on and many people do live on it. Political rhetoric about "dole bludgers" aside, the country has yet to collapse as a consequence.

We are definitely NOT comfortable with the idea that abortion is not murder. Maybe the people in your circle of friends are, but generally speaking (in the U.S. at least) many people are far from comfortable with it. I tend to be pretty liberal about most things (Legalize drugs? Sure! Gay marriage? Absolutely!) and I am quite uncomfortable with abortion. Maybe it is necessary in some cases, and I don't presume to know where the line should be drawn, but if and when it must be done, I feel that it is a tragedy. I saw my son kicking on the ultrasound screen when he was 12 weeks old, and I cringe any time somebody makes a statement with the unspoken assumption that my son did not "exist" prior to birth ... a ridiculous notion if ever there was one.

At the same time, I know how hard a baby can be. I am nearly 30 and having a child has been almost devastatingly difficult. So on one hand, I agree with you that < 18 year olds should not be having children. But to force a mother to abort her baby? Do you have any idea what you are proposing?? To me, it is beyond awful.

Maybe, instead, we should work to become a society where having a child at 17 doesn't cripple you for the rest of your life. That is the real problem, isn't it?

Edited to add: Of course, sex education should be a large part of the equation, as well as easy and preferably free access to birth control.

This looks incredible.

Ring's default error handling is really cumbersome, and it's one of the major pain points that I've had using Clojure for webapps. Judging by the video, this middleware seems to solve the problem completely.

First, that's not porn. In the worst case, it's "glamour models" (could also be regular models).

Second, we "objectify mens/females bodies" all the time. It just means that we treat them as something nice to look at. That's 90% of Hollywood, pop music, advertisements, and tons of everyday interactions. An art nude, by Picasso or whoever, it's exactly that too.

This guy is not involved in sex trafficking or anything. He just likes how professional models, people paid to be photographed and wishing for a successful career in modeling photography, look on photographs.

Also, from my experience with similar discussions: if he had gay models on the monitors, nobody that speaks of "objectification" would have said anything. Some (stupid) people might have made fun of him for the gay pictures, but champions of non-objectification would not have mentioned anything about objectification.

Not so secret. Go's 5g compiler can produce ARM code, runnable on an Android device. But Android's APIs are mostly Java, so for regular apps you have little benefit in using Go; for games, you could gain something.

See a small overview: http://www.infoq.com/news/2014/06/golang-google-android-nati...

A JVM-compatible language which is better than Java, e.g. Kotlin, would be a boon for regular Android development.

I also experienced this and saw the image a few months ago. That the effect lasts that long is sort of unsettling.
The Engima has that weakness/property because it uses a reflector which reflects the current back through the rotors. The M-125 also uses a reflector so I would guess that the weakness/property exists, but it is likely hard to exploit than the enigma.

Let me explain, the M-125 uses a card reader to alter the input characters sent to the rotors. The rotors aren't being applied to raw input.

input -> card transformation -> rotors/reflector/rotors -> output

>"The activated wire corresponding to the input character wire goes to the card reader (the slot on the left side). Holes punched in the card control the swapping of characters. So, our A is translated to a T. [then it is sent to the rotors]"

After the card reader transformation the "never the same character" property would hold, but the card reader makes it significantly more difficult to exploit. That is, if you could guess the output after the card reader transformation you can apply the attack, but you'd probably have to guess the card reader transformation key first

Note that the Enigma had a plugboard[0] for a similar purpose but was less effective since most characters were left unchanged by the plugboard.

Thanks, that's helpful! I'm mainly experienced with Debian, but I've been exploring whether Debian-for-everything is still the best policy. In terms of actually trying anything else, I've only been doing some test setups of FreeBSD so far, but "something Illumos" has been on my radar as well and I've been trying to understand the landscape there, along with playing a little bit (not very seriously, I'll admit) on a SmartOS instance through Joyent's cloud.

Technically it seems quite impressive, and Illumos being more or less the ZFS upstream is appealing. The distribution situation has been more confusing, though. OpenIndiana seemed to have a community, which is why I was first looking into that option, but it does indeed not seem to be very active. That's one attraction of FreeBSD & Debian, that they're community supported, and I can with fairly high confidence expect they'll be around in 5 or 10 years supporting the distribution. It's less clear to me how to wade into Illumos in a way that mitigates risk of the upstream going away. I think Illumos itself fits that description, with a community that will be around, but does any individual distribution? There are clearly resources behind OmniOS and SmartOS, which gives some confidence, but they are also quite heavily concentrated resources (one company drives each, and it's not impossible that they could change focus and deemphasize development of the public distribution).
So, somebody posts stupid on Facebook and WW III starts?
Google has started showing old versions of its search page to people using out-of-date versions of some web browsers.

On the other hand, many of the people using older versions of browsers would probably be the same ones who don't like the changes Google's made to its pages.

As someone who regularly uses various browsers (including text-based), I have a very strong opinion on this: I've noticed the "you must use browser X, Y, or Z" trend become more prevalent over the years, and I think it's against the basic premise of the Internet to be an accessible source of information to all. Users should be free to use whatever browser they want, on whatever hardware they want, with the understanding that some sites may use features their browsers don't support. Most sites on the Internet are still primarily sources of information, and it's rather disconcerting to see "appification" turning easily accessible pages containing text and images into complex behemoths that only work in the latest browsers from the big vendors. I know there is a certain allure to using the "latest technologies" for many developers, but if it needlessly excludes some others, there's a marginalising, discriminatory element to it that I just can't agree with.

She added: "We're continually making improvements to Search, so we can only provide limited support for some outdated browsers."

It would help if she pointed out the particular "improvements" and what features they need.

>I'm sure the OP is level headed enough to not prefer the author have used any image that objectified a human being, regardless of their sex or gender.

What makes that "level-headed" instead of "wrong in multiple directions"?

Define "objectification". Those are professional models, that specifically picked that line of work, and want to have a succesful career in it. And wanting to appreciate something not for its whole qualities but for some aspect of them is completely normal. When I watch basketball I only care for that guys athletic qualities, not his personality. When I go to a fast food joint, I only care for the persons ability to serve my order, not his/hers other qualities in general.

Heck, I'd consider a photo of McDonald workers flipping burgers far more objectificated, but since it's not "fashionable" enough topic, nobody bats an eye.
