I will concede that my "there is _only_ cache to consider" statement was largely tongue in cheek.

In all serious though, swapping due to code bloat (as opposed to actual runtime bloat)... I haven't seen that in ages. Caches though... like a samurai with an absurdly sharp blade... they kill you almost every time, and usually you don't even know you're dead.
Incredibly insightful... but doesn't address the main question the analysis raises: How long does this train keep running? When does this tap our its market since growth of the market is the key to revenue?

> I don't think many people are going to die of thirst

Remember 80% of California's water goes to agriculture. More water is used to grow almonds than for all of residential irrigation. There are far more non-farmers than farmers; I expect the next step will be to cut back more on agricultural uses.

In a few generations we may look back and wonder why we were flooding fields half a foot deep with increasing scarce water to grow rice in an extremely dry climate. Especially when rice grows perfectly well in areas of the world that actually, you know, get rain all year round.
>Who uses 50 gallons per person per day? People with a swimming pool?

Swimming pools actually use less water per square foot than an irrigated lawn. About half, in fact. So lawns might be one answer to your question.
if not for Russian volunteers and hardware (and soldiers in the August) the Donbass would be blood bathed. It is a duty of the international community to stop crimes against humanity perpetrated by a government against its own people.
Notice the difference between Crimea and Donbass - nobody shells the cities in Crimea - why? Because of full military presence of Russia. Putin of course didn't care about people and so he didn't send full force to Donbass unfortunately. Otherwise there wouldn't be that war on Donbass.

>Since when did defending your territory became 'ethnic cleansing'?

short answer - when you start defend your territory from the people leaving on that territory. Long - it is well recognized international law and practice (voiced very loudly by the Western countries in case of Kosovo for example) that a government/country perpetrating systemic discrimination and other crimes against a given ethnicity on a given territory loses the right to that territory. Clear case of Crimea and Donbass (and other Ukranian regions with significant Russian population)

"Having already piled companies high with debt in order to buy them, many private-equity funds had their companies borrow even more, and then used that money to pay themselves huge “special dividends.”

..As if this weren’t galling enough, taxpayers are left on the hook. Interest payments on all that debt are tax-deductible; when pensions are dumped, a federal agency called the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation picks up the tab; and the money that the dealmakers earn is taxed at a much lower rate than normal income would be, thanks to the so-called “carried interest” loophole."
Yes, Spotify's value proposition to rights holders is "we're paying you something, it's better than Grooveshark." Another situation where a nominally powerful entity makes a major concession to avoid even higher losses to illegal activity is in tax policy. Many types of taxes are lower than they would be if evasion wasn't a partial substitute for compliance.
Hi Don! I'm afraid TADDCC has gone the way of the dodo -- the 64-bit SPARCs don't have it.
If sound traveled as a sphere, then it wouldn't be able to circle the Earth. If you imagine a sphere growing from a point on the Earth's surface, most of it will wind up in space, and none of it will reach the opposite side of the Earth. The 1/r^2 falloff is probably just an approximation that holds true for short distances or smaller intensities.

In this case, the soundwave was able to follow the curvature of the Earth, which implies that it wouldn't decay as a sphere but rather a plane, which would be a 1/r falloff. I wonder why sound of massive intensity will follow Earth's curvature?

Additionnally from the GC, parametric polymorphism requires a uniform representation of values. For example, List.map does not make assumptions about the values in the list like their size.
I agree with this, but I think it is still an extremely difficult problem to solve. Most of the political problems we have are low hanging fruit from a technical perspective, the thing that renders them almost impossible is the fact that they run contrary to vested interests.

Part of the reason that Uber and Airbnb have succeeded where other content-based startups have failed is the fact that they are dealing with city-based, rather than federal regulations. As copyright is regulated federally, the only way to fix it is by first fixing the broken system of electoral funding that encourages politicians in DC to follow the money that flows out of the RIAA and similar cashed up lobbying bodies.

The problem with GIMP isn't its featureset, but its interface. It's so foreign to anyone who works with graphics that whatever UI metaphors it uses fail to resonate with people, so they just end up confused.

What GIMP probably needs is an overhaul that copies what Photoshop does. People understand Photoshop, and it's the industry standard.

The things that deters me about Brick are that there aren't very many components yet, they aren't very styled or pretty, and the site doesn't show me what the components look like on one page (I have to click through to a demo for each component). It's only been around for a year, though honestly with the support it has gotten, I'd need to see more before I'm able to imagine developers using it. Obviously, it's a beautiful concept.

I like Ionic's, which is the most fully fleshed out set of UI components I've seen. Though it's not as modular as Brick, I'd rather have a complete monolithic set of components rather than sparse modular ones: http://ionicframework.com/docs/components/

The site does throw some errors, which leads me to believe this wasn't meant to be shared yet. Although, Brick has done the "HN launch" already in the past.

In Your Corner (YC S14) Hiring Senior Rails Engineer in NYC
In Your Corner is a wellness platform that provides instant, expert support when you need it. Our mission is to give users easy, on-demand access to counseling, coaching, and calm. We are venture-backed and our mission is to make it easier to make people happier.

We are currently looking for a talented, full-stack Rails engineer. You will be joining as we relaunch from our pilot, Pretty Padded Room, so you'll have a lot of ownership of the product and it’s direction, and your work will have immediate, direct impact on thousands of people worldwide. Details below:

Senior Rails Engineer who has experience interfacing with complex back-end systems, developing online marketplaces, and innovating new ways to solve complex problems that touch multiple systems. You should work with highly agile development processes, focus on database design and UX, and have expertise in building clean, responsive API-driven code.

Above all, our team is small but ferocious so you need to have strong analytical and critical thinking skills, great interpersonal and team communication skills (we’re therapists after all!) and a strong bias toward action and moving quickly and iteratively. Submissions should be sent to hello@inyourcorneronline.com - please include code samples or links to personal projects when applying. Thank you!
That is a fantastic analogy (and a great library), in my experience it's works well but takes effort in ongoing maintenance (log cleaning, etc). Also, it acts as a canary in the coal mine for other networking problems.

It's based on Clang, right? At version 1.0, you can expect some stability, right? (I haven't been paying attention enough to know.) The people working on it are smart, right? (They are, and they're somewhat grizzled, extrapolating from the ones I know of.) I wouldn't worry about them pulling the language out from underneath you with backwards-incompatible changes -- the compiler crashing on valid code is annoying, and saying this from a no-longer-writing-iPhone-apps perspective, I think it's a big win over Objective C. So I'd go for it.
It's so bare, I love it. Just add more components and we might have something usable for front end developers.

Came to say pretty much the same thing. This is extremely creepy given the nature of Google as a data munging operation that converts data to ad revenue. On the other hand mikeleeorg makes a good point. In the past competitors where sued out of the water by Blackboard. If Google puts some pressure on them and makes the data easy enough export then a more agile company can have a shot at improving things. That's a pretty long chain of extremely happy accidents though.
A fairly normal spa massage is done unclothed with a towel covering (the client disproves and covers up while the masseur or masseuse out of the room.)

>We can figure out another way to reward creators without creating artificial marketplaces that demand most go without so the few left have reason to spend.

I'd argue that we have already. Creating media is expensive, and if you take away the ability for people to monetize media you get rid of a segment who create media for the sake of media. The only people left are those wealthy enough to do so, and are no doubt looking to protect/expand their own profit centers.

The extreme view of this is that now Tarantino can only make his movies as long as he reminds everyone that "he gets the good stuff, Folgers® Brand Coffee, the best part of waking up."

Rather than consider the USA as a single monolith and comparing to a single European nation like Denmark, compare to the equivalent monolith (the EU has 46% of the area, 158% of the population, and 103% GDP of the USA). Most EU countries have heavy central planning for all the things _delirium mentioned, probably all EU countries if you use the USA as a baseline.

> A little disappointed that neither the article nor comments have made much of the argument that any species which has made it through billions of years of evolution is intrinsically a thing of value.

When you dabble in evolutionary determinism, you run into problems, because humans seem to have free will but also seem to be the result of evolution. So when it comes to decisions by humans, it's hard to say which choice is "interfering" with evolution. I would say that, by definition, no human action is interfering with evolution, assuming that humans are the result of evolution. If we do decide to eliminate mosquitoes, well, that just means humans evolved to eliminate mosquitoes, and mosquitoes didn't evolve to survive such attempts.

> Creating media is expensive

Creating media has never been as cheap as today. My ex roommate has been playing in bands ever since I got to know him. First recordings were done on 6 track tape recorder an replicated to cassette. Then the first, big towers were capable of recording a handful of tracks with low quality. Now, all he needs to go and make solid recordings is a laptop and a semi-professional external sound card. The distribution costs drop to zero on the internet.

The equipment he uses to record is much cheaper than the room they rent for the band and the instruments.

People that create media for the sake of creating media can do so at an unprecedented scale. The issue is with those that want to make a living of being a media creator.

Incompetence is not with the Ukrainian army (maybe lack of finance is). The facts are there: Russia is invading Ukraine.

And yes, defending your country from a Russian invasion is not 'ethnic cleansing': it's just defending your territory. It's not a conspiracy.
> I'm glad they've lost the war

I don't understand this statement, that wasn't the end of the 'war', Grooveshark lost a battle, just like Napster and Limewire were not ends of the 'war'.

Ultimately (as another poster has said) the reason we can get nice things like the Spotify, iTunes and Amazon music services is because people were fighting these battles and winning until the law smacked them down.

I think you should reflect on the first paragraph further, services such as Grooveshark and Uber are skirting the law and users prefer these methods for a reason. Without these disruptions maybe we'd have to buy albums on a USB thumb drive rather than download them over the net.
Personally I find it good. I am used to that model as developer since the Symbian days.
Fair enough. When I last worked on Android it was all eclipse/maven-based, and using Scala was as simple as just doing the obvious thing (I mean, you had to install the relevant plugins, but that was all). Shame if they've lost that in the move to Android Studio.

Tarantino films make money at the box office, which has very little to do with copyright infringement. Sure, people can upload cams of film in the theater, but that's a very low quality product that hardly competes with the theater experience.
"which might actually be nonsense, since waves aren't matter, but something that travels through matter"

I don't think that's much of a nonsense. These are waves propagating through a medium - in this case mostly air. And particles of air are affected by gravity, therefore I would very much expect them to follow Earth's curvature.
Because if all the computation is still happening on the remote server then that remote server has access to whatever encryption key was used. That defeats the whole purpose of what you're suggesting. Which means you have to shuttle the encrypted data to some private server, decrypt it, and then operate on it which means you might as well just host it locally. The only way this works is if we get practical homomorphic encryption at which point storage truly becomes a commodity and that's when Google loses all interest in hosting that data.
What was the collateral damage? Do you mean the kids and grandmothers who were sued by copyright groups as a show of force?
Very low number here - I never have more than 10 open. I keep closing things periodically and quickly. If a tab is unread for say a couple of hours, I just usually close it since I would never get around to reading it anyway and it's probably not important.
You're partially correct about Gravity, but there's more to it.

The radius of the Earth is roughly 6000 km, while the thickness of the atmosphere is about 120km. Thus, the ratio of the two heights is about 1/60. Because the ratio of atmosphere thickness to terrestrial thickness is so small, for the purposes of modeling wave propagation through the atmosphere we can approximate the atmosphere as a thin spherical shell around the Earth.

Furthermore, the Earth's surface forms a hard boundary below the shell, further confining the sound to the atmosphere, while the force of gravity also prevents the sound wave from escaping into space via the atmosphere.

As other posters have stated, this forms a 2-dimensional propagation layer which results in a linear falloff rather than an inverse square falloff.
yea because it's much better to have closed, restricted app markets (like Apple, Google, Microsoft ones) than web standards.
