It doesn't look like there's any separation between the model and the view, so in what sense is this MVC?
Thanks very much for this. We were actually aware of this already (specifically, it's an issue with the Fanboy Annoyances feature on Adblock) but we thought that, on balance, so few people would have this specific feature enabled that we would go without an ugly box altering them to this fact. Obviously some people do have it enabled - sorry it it cause inconvenience. I hope your comment stays near the top for clarification.
It's very much real but I'm not sure if I agree with the basic premise. 'Regular' operating systems have gone through a whole slew of storage changes relatively unscathed, what it is about faster persistent storage that you could not encapsulate the same way we did with memory mapped files I do not understand. Obviously HP is far from stupid (or at least, its scientists are) but for now I'm on the fence if this is going to be a true revolution or just the needle moving a bit further to the right.

Real revolutions in OS tech have for the last decades come from the keyboards of large institutional users and from hordes of smaller ones. Even IBM has pretty much acknowledged that. So we'll see if HP will be able to keep the door locked to someone doing a linux device driver for their new hot hardware or to add a few calls to the kernel that enable an application to use this tech.

The same has happened to infiniband (fast networking for clusters and storage) and tons of other esoteric hardware including shared memory between physically disjoint machines (DSM).
I totally agree. Replace "non-comformist" and "conformist" in this paper with "predator" and "prey," and you can speculate on some more interesting biological ideas.
Yeah it can be a big pain. Especially for companies who aren't already using the JVM and are forced in to it so they can leverage the Hadoop ecosystem.

I've had some very painful experiences trying to figure out what's going wrong on my JVM that keeps dying somewhere over the course of MapReduce job and not leaving behind any log files.
This feels like such a cop-out philosophy: just get used to it and don't bring it up in polite company. This reeks of cognitive dissonance.
I would assume they are lending your BTC to traders for substantially more than the 5-10% rate that they are paying you. In exchange for taking the risk, they keep the profits.
Calling All Angels, Exec, VCs and Everyone – Write Guest Columns for TechCrunch
Yeah displaystyle makes inline equations render like "normal" equation environments like align etc. The difference is obvious with things that take up a lot of vertical space like integrals or sums with limits. Sometimes you want an integral inline, but you need to make it \displaystyle. It's annoying to write, hurts readability and badly supported by editors. So d$equation$ makes it trivial to toggle it.
True, but that's really no different than the dynamics around bottled water -- if everyone around you is drinking bottled water, and they all insist it tastes better than tap water, it creates social pressure for you to drink it and say that too, even if you don't believe it. The easiest thing for people to do is always to go along with the crowd.

Google Fiber is a totally privately run ISP. It is even less regulated than Verizon Fios. Google Fiber exists because Google is given an exemption from all sorts of local regulations.

I know you mean well, but this isn't necessarily an appropriate place or method for advertisement. It's a serious thing, and insinuating that your app will/can 'solve' other's depression can be seen as belittling others' emotions.

As a side note, preventing suicide is very different than supporting someone with depression. Suicidal thoughts are cause for major alarm, and call for emergency intervention. Depression is typically a longer, slower ordeal. It still certainly warrants seeking help, but the kind of help needed isn't something that an app can provide (at least from my personal perspective). But what an app _can_ provide is a way to find help and connect to those sources easily, whether it be in case of a crisis or just simplifying a process which can be overwhelming, particularly for someone dealing with depression for the first time.

Just some thoughts for you, and hopefully an explanation for the downvotes. You have an opportunity to help people with this project, and I hope you do well with it. Best of luck.
I'd love a library for SVGText that allowed me to adjust kerning, character effects, and layout in the same way.
This is great, although it's obviously hard to draw conclusions. I'd love to see the same sort of visualizations done for 50 million (or however many) random numbers drawn from a distribution that vaguely mimics the primes.
I use Pandoc myself, actually this was written as a companion to it, focusing on the math side on things. As stated in the github text (maybe I should phrase it better), pretex works in any math environment I know of. So inline and all the \begin\ends, starred and unstarred. If you come across anything that doesn't work, shoot. So it works perfectly for pandoc!
Dev Board Runs Yocto Linux on Altera ARM+FPGA SoC
That's a prime number and those diagonals were present for all primes I tried. There's probably a name for that.
This is similar to a common experiment you can program. Create a grid, and fill it about 95% full with random black and white squares, leaving about 5% empty. Each square has 8 neighbors. If a square at least N neighbors of a different color, it moves to a randomly selected empty square. Iterate this for a while, until stability occurs.

You're watching segregation happen. Try different values of N. Even with N=8, meaning nobody moves unless every neighbor is the opposite color, you'll still get a mostly segregated world.
It's been done (not $0.25, though):

Having previously used a single seat-pack deployment (the aforementioned $5k minimum order), and having sent a fairly substantial amount of questions/requests to GitHub's enterprise support folks, I'm not sure what you mean by "too small for them to care".

It's not like they're going to be exchanging tech stuff with your billing person, so not sure what issue you're referring to in your last sentences.

In order for GitHub to take away anything actionable from your example, they'd need more details on what issues actually occurred with the interaction.
I can see where those things would be interesting for students learning software development, but not everyone who uses git is doing that type of development. To be fair, I am coming at this from the standpoint of someone who uses git for science, rather than software development. Yes, I use it to track changes in code, but vast majority of that code is scripting analysis procedures (so knowing about internal data structures does not directly help me do my job). I also use git to track changes in LaTeX manuscripts. So, while your first point is arguably universally applicable (that knowing the internals would help me use git), the second point does not apply to everyone.

I am not suggesting that all tutorials should jettison an early discussion of the git internals, but merely suggesting that including such a discussion early on, may not be appropriate for some audiences.
Since Java 7, Oracle Java and OpenJDK are nearly identical [0]. There's little reason to use the former instead of the latter. Previous to 7 OpenJDK had a much worse performance than the Sun/Oracle JDK, but that hasn't been true for a while now.

It remains that the JVM is incredibly mature and performant, and almost any library you could want has been implemented on it. It also remains a fruitful ground for new language development, although LLVM is an increasingly popular alternative.

I tried Soylent 1.0 and had severe gastrointestinal issues with it. In doing research I came across 100%FOOD--a Soylent alternative. The texture is a lot less appealing than Soylent at first, but I got used to it. My body agrees with it much more. They shipped within hours, not months. It's produced at a vegan facility and uses a lot more 'natural' products as components. Chocolate is definitely recommended. Oh, and they ship internationally.
Agreed. A lot of the new players are trying to build pos like a consumer product with sexy uis and animations.

In qsr space, a 10 sec decrease in time equates to roughly 1% in revenue. (1)

Legacy Uis look terrible but they are built for speed. One thing that would help this space is applying learnings about A/B testing, metrics, and UX research in the POS space. If you can demonstrate to merchants using data that you can decrease time and increase revenue, that is a huge opportunity.

Thanks for your reply. I was thinking he means something else. That topic has been very hot in China as well.(At least before 2012, AFAIK. I gave up reading those since then.) They have similar symptoms. But the foundations are way different. China is playing with its structure, moving some parts to make certain parts look good and strong. It's a matter of time the structure's balance crashes or there is simply nothing left in the structure any more. Well, most of us only need to focus on now than the future.

> A couple months ago, the entire thing collapsed on my face and we went with gitlab instead. Why? Because github's sales team f*ed it up. Apparently, the $5k minimum order was too small for them to care (at least that's what my side says). Too bad, I really wanted to get them in the door.

Ben Balter from GitHub's government team here. I'm sorry to hear we let you down. Please let us make it up to you. You (or anyone else) should feel free to reach out to me any time at government@github.com, and I'll personally help navigate the process.

For what it's worth, we care a lot about the experiences of all our users, whether you're a developer using the GitHub.com front end, a system administrator spinning up GitHub Enterprise, or a COTR procuring a license for your agency. I'm not part of the Sales team. In fact, my full-time job is to help empower those working to "fix/modernize gov't tech from the inside", and a big part of that over the past year or so has been seriously leveling up the user experience for government and other large enterprises.

To help here, we now have a dedicated government team (https://government.github.com) that makes sure our front-line sales reps and supportocats are conversant in "govspeak", a semi-private government peer group (https://github.com/government/welcome) to collaborate on best practices, and are streamlining the procurement process for government with invoicing and standardized contract vehicles (and now FedRAMP support as part of AWS). I'd love your input on how we can do better.

Writing in Public and Syncing with GitHub
I am interested if you are willing to share!
Are there actually folks out there willing to pay a 10%+ a year interest rate to take a loan denominated in BTC? Bitcoin's price is all over the place, and often moves up very quickly, so even if the loan were at 0% it would be a bad idea. But at 10%, you have to ask, are there any ways to invest your loan such that you could beat that rate? Consistently? The default rate is going to be sky high.

The only rational explanations here are 1) these people are actually intending to short Bitcoin and don't realize there are cheaper ways or 2) these people don't exist, and this is a Ponzi scheme.

The latter seems more likely, especially since this site claims to be covering losses on defaults (an even crazier idea than taking a BTC loan in the first place).
It's been pretty well documented that presentation affects the perception of taste. Adding some fancy adjectives (and possibly a fancy price) to the menu can make people perceive the food as tasting better. I believe it's been shown to work with wine too.

Your problem is with the well known allegory, not the people on hacker news romanticizing poverty.

Your position seems to distance itself from the allegory because we have no sense that this community in Mexico has first world medical care, schools, or western clothing.

The allegory also suggests this as 'simple' life, which most probably means selling the fish at market as soon as the fisherman comes in - no salting, no drying, etc.

Where do people find "outside" board members? I assume the term "outside" here implies someone who isn't longtime friends with either founders or investors, but someone who does have the respect of both. If I was a founder who wanted to build a board, how would I go about finding the right person?
> It’s a good idea to keep enough control so that investors can’t fire you (there are a lot of different ways to do this)

Can anyone elaborate?

Sam articulates several advantages to having a board (focus on execution, thinking big, hiring executives) but none of them really require the board to have voting control, i.e. the ability to override the founder.

More generally, I think most founders would be fine with and welcome an outside board as long as there was a Zuckerberg-like voting agreement where the founders retained control. But then again I don't really understand the difference between that and a board of advisors.

Bottom line, why do investors care about control at the early stages? Do they really expect that they'll need to override the founder in the nascent stages? Is it just a security blanket? I would be wary of investors who really insist on the ability to vote against the founders at the seed to series A stage.

I wouldn't say that 800MB/s is slow.

I also wonder if that 880 is for just one slot filled up. If it is, then I wonder if you can parallelize to 4 slots for ~3.4GB/s.

At that point, I imagine many types of data sets would work A-OK.

Though I wonder how that's scaled for cores, given that in the situation I imagined above, you'd be streaming all that data to just one CPU to get that aggregate bandwidth.

Hmm.
