I plan to start looking into the Unreal engine soon after I get experience with a more basic engine. Have you found a lot of the resources available are able to get you started well? Or is there a large learning curve? My main experience is in writing Rails apps, Ruby gems, a couple basic Android apps, and everything DevOps.

GUI is to me the field where inheritance actually makes a lot of things easier and natural.

I would invert that and say GUI frameworks are why bad OO/excessive inheritance is so ubiquitous. I have no idea why all the major frameworks have these horrible inheritance hierarchies, there's really no excuse for it.

In my UI days, I would avoid this by having a Window or Component class extend nothing, housing the necessary component as a field. I'd extend it only if I had to (rarely, and even then usually just one or two methods), and expose it with a getter. Cleaned things up a LOT.
I presume the older software is tied to a relationship with B-Squared that has deteriorated beyond what current economics will allow and B-Squared doesn't know QNX or Linux. B-Squared's claim to fame is they talk about how much they know WindowsCE very well. It's their tool of choice even though Adobe ActionScript is largely to blame.

Keep in mind to add SYNC to your vehicle, it's $300 (or it was when it first came out). Cheap right? Ford is in the business to sell cars and what sells more cars, they want.

I'm not a lawyer, I see your point and was somewhat vocal on my own, but in my tenure I learned that Ford is a very successful company and they pay smart people to keep them out of trouble. I have to give Ford props for not taking any bail out money but I digress...

One more tid-bit I will add is that Ford never deals directly with the public. You get your vehicle serviced through dealerships.

So when Ford SYNC came out, they were trying to find away for customers to buy additional services via the SYNC system. This of course meant Ford had to now deal with the whole concept of accepting credit cards or finding a partner who knew how to accept credit cards.

As an architect on the team, one of my tasks was to assess the whole PCI compliance, what it would do to us if we got hacked, etc... In the early days, Ford tried to partner with PayPal to handle the credit card stuff but because Ford has a products it would collect for that are also provided by 3rd parties, it just made things very challenging. I'll spare the details but one of the issues I worked on was single sign on technology. You have a mix of technologies like WS-Federation, SAML, etc... and trying to get Ford and all the partners to adopt and stand up this stuff takes a L O N G time. Consider also some of these smaller companies don't have same budget as a Fortune-5 or even know what SAML is so you have a lot of educating going on too.

What's with people assuming TPB is only for porn and movies?

There are SO MANY THINGS that can be found on TPB: books, code, courses, videos. I don't understand why people on HN only focus on one thing.

Shouldn't information be freely accessible? Why should poor people or people that live in certain places not be able to access a book about, let's say, nanoparticular physics? Why can't these people watch Ironman and observe foreign values?

I personnally don't really care that TPB is down, too bad for plebs.

Yeah, it's copyright infringement, and there's a lot of wink, wink, nudge, nudge going on that adds up to dishonesty if not outright lying. I don't claim otherwise.

I just don't think copyright is an inalienable right like freedom of speech is. And being duplicitous should make you unreliable or scummy, not criminal. Barring actual fraud, of course, and I don't think all this winking adds up to fraud.

I missed that when you select 'Actions' to add to a workflow it's actually just the 'suggested' list. Might improve the user experience to let the user know there are much more than what's in that list the first time they go add an action (or maybe that's in the tutorial--but the first thing I wanted to see was the full list to get a sense of what was possible).

On a Blackberry Z10 it's just two touches: the first touch gets the main settings menu from the top (I think the same as any Android), then hitting the Hotspot icon. I use this all the time to feed the Internet to my laptop and even a couple pieces of remote machinery. I'd expect to do this to update such a car as well. And I'm really old in HN years.

How can carriers know when the phone is acting as a hotspot, and why are those bytes more expensive?

It looks like a weekends worth of work for Matz, I doubt he's even thinking of a spec at this point.
" However, IMHO, your issue is that you think that being aware of topics is equivalent to truly understanding those topics. If you were really interested in those 100 unread pinboard articles, you would have read them - you seem to like the idea of knowing about the topics of the articles more than actually understanding the underlying concepts contained in the articles."

It's not always about knowing things in and out. I am in a position where I need to know a lot about a lot of things. If developers come with some new tech and want to do xyz. It's very helpful for me to know what xyz is. If non technical people or management comes with demands abc I need to know the bounds of it.

It's not great being in a meeting or on a phone call and not knowing what the other person is talking about. Not only does it make you look uneducated but it makes the other people lose respect for you.

To do what I want I don't need to know everything about a topic. But knowing the basics and its existence goes a very very long way.

I know a good bit about a lot of topics. Then in my specific field I know a lot more in depth.

Seconded. Covers a lot of ground, lots of great examples, the code is language-agnostic (Python-ish). Hard to go wrong with this book on your shelf.
It would be unfortunate if their pricing model drove poor architectural decisions, but in this case that doesn't apply.

Anonymous donor gives $100,000 to support women in Linux
I'm probably one of the niche guys but I see wider applications for this. I like in dash GPS which I have from an after market unit. I use it frequently. The problem is that to update the maps, you need to purchase a CDROM for a hundred smackers. Once you have it for free on your phone you are not going to do that. So I use the phone. Hooked up, the voice instructions play through the stereo. Direct connection is noticeably superior to blutooth for this purpose. The only problem is the awkwardness of screen control access. I could just mount the phone to the dash but the iPhone screen is a little small.

What I want is to connect my phone and then have a nice big touch screen on the dash that functions like the phone. I don't care much about voice control (I don't have Siri) but I suppose it would be nice.

I'll look for the videos. It seems improbably to me that they could screw this up but I am often dissappointed

This is just the case outside the rule, the DA was delaying likely because the case was so shaky to begin with because of lack of evidence. The DA was waiting for him to crack and take a plea bargain so that in the end the DA still looks tough on crime.

There are some reasons. I'll try to describe them shortly.

Usually it is important to color and resize the icons depending on situation. That's why you can't just put the SVG into your project. And that's why we decided to make a sprite and to use inline SVG.

But raw inline SVG isn't the most convenient way of SVG graphics using. That's why we have written a couple of helpers.
It is intended for non-developers so that they can integrate their workflow with developers working on the same content. It can be used by multiple persons of course but it's not generally targeted for people developing apps or for replacing git.
Same content (set of files) but different files?

Here's the use case I have in mind: let's say I'm a programmer extending a game [1] built on Undum [2] engine, together with a writer who is writing a story at the same time [3]

The list starts on page 101 and is prefaced by this:

"The 17 detainees who were subjected to techniques without the approval of CIA Headquarters were: (...)", and then it lists them by name.

Then there's the part you're quoting, which is quite clearly stating that the list of 17 isn't counting cases where EIT was authorized, but the techniques were not implemented as authorized. This isn't surprising since the list of 17 is of people who weren't authorized for EIT at all.

If they were authorized, they're not listed as being unauthorized, even if the techniques used went beyond the authorization.

It's really very simple if you read the document. There's no question that section you quoted is referring to the list of 17.
I think this kind of file system would do well to power platforms that AREN'T for programmers. While this may not seem useful for programmers (because they are so involved in git usage in the first place), I think others might benefit

I've had the idea to make an interative design/architecture plugin for programs like photoshop/3dmax/etc rolling around in my head for a while now. Git is a perfect way to store/save the progress people make in those programs (as files change over time, or as they save), and gitfs seems like it would be the fs to run on the backing server.

Instant branching (like when an artist decides to riff on a new idea), undo/rollback, progress tweens/reports.
I think you misinterpreted what I said. I explained it more clearly below. I suggested using the same 12 nodes but putting each one as a RAID 0, which would get you more reliability and more storage for the same cost. In your current config, two dead disks possibly bricks the system -- in the config I propose, you'd need four dead disks before anyone noticed.

What I'm suggesting is that you think of the cluster more holistically, since I assume your goal is a reliable cluster, not reliable nodes. As a nice bonus you get more "free" disk space.
The Sync system isn't doing any of the important things you mention. It's infotainment.
I've explained it elsewhere, but a business model is a projection of future results, it's not actual property. I think the burden of proof is on the claimant when someone says that protecting business models is more important than protecting freedom of speech (sharing documents), freedom of privacy (no combing through my documents), or the freedom of movement (not being in prison).

As far as a critique on whether human right exist or what they are if they do, that's way out of scope for this topic. But I'll say that it's hard to have any morality without some concept of human rights, whether that term is used or not.

This is a ideological/philosophical opinion piece scantily clad as an article about something. I know that the author doubtlessly regards his premises as well-founded, but he does not seek to validate these foundations for the reader; he is writing solely for an audience that already shares his opinions.

Initially he brushes against the notion that hacking may have grown, as an activity, due to the geometric (?) progression of connectivity, and that the phenomena he is describing is the demise of the 'collective', as a species, rather than the demise of hacking itself. This is sort of a bizarre moment in the essay, because he immediately forgets the notion and plunges into an ideopathological rumination of the decline of creativity and the destruction of collective will by a search for unique individual identity under the oppressive circumstance of the capitalist/existential philosophical apparatus.

I describe it thusly to give the click-to-comments-first reader a flavour of the essay, and also because I am making fun of him. I am making fun of him with serious purpose, as he has made the fatal, arrogant error of conflating ideas with facts; an error that has literally killed millions of people.

It is interesting that the hacker collectives have declined, and this could have been an interesting essay. It does not seem to me that the raw incidence of hacking has declined. I have no idea why this person believes such a thing. Hacking of all kinds and intentions are reported in a flurry these days. What has declined (I accept his assertion) is the phenomena of the group social identity of hackers. My first hypothesis about this is that anyone who studies graphs and networks could explain it to me without a second's hesitation, and perhaps someone will.

My (largely uninformed: I welcome correction) expectation is that the explanation will be directly related to the progression of connectivity: information is no longer rare or exclusive, and so social representation and status-seeking are no longer necessary parts of the driving activity, which is the hacking. This precludes the fetishization (in a pseudo-Marxist sense) of small networks such as the hacking groups. Small networks doubtlessly continue to exist and function quite well with only a fraction of the awareness of their collective identity.

I would recommend the Adventure Time episode "Thanks for the Crabapples, Giuseppe" as good contextual background material.
" I "solved" my own problem by just routing every distraction as it arrived into a look-at-later list. Then when later arrived I'd scan through, decide what was actually worth following up on and just delete the rest.

Good idea. Frankly when I come on HN or reddit I may scan through and open a ton of tabs. But then as I go through the tabs I'll close many since they no longer seem as important

They really botched that. QNX went from closed source to free-for-hobbyists to closed source to fully open source to closed source.

This killed open source development efforts for QNX. There used to be a Firefox build for QNX. The underlying QNX OS technology is great, but the organization, which has now been acquired twice, is a pain to deal with.
Thanks for the reply. Interesting that linear hashing had such a big effect, seeing as it is meant to be a slowly-occurring process that only happens when the average load factor of all buckets exceeds a threshold. I guess that was back in 2004 though. Wonder if the same performance is still applicable?

Does it batch changes, i.e. if 5 files are saved within a few seconds of each other?

It would also be interesting if that was combined with naming commits based on language processing (i.e. splitting on camel case and snake case, finding the word whose frequency in the current diff is most different from its frequency in the codebase overall). Then you could have human-readable history without any conscious need to maintain it - and this would be developer-friendly, just Save All in Sublime Text and fuhgettaboudit.

So how is what google news is doing not piracy? I mean, we also have Peter Sunde's post about his ideals on the front page https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8734204 and a large portion of comments seem to be very pro-copyright. How come then, that nobody here is applauding this move? Google news is absolutely breaking copyright - they're publishing others' content without their permission and without paying them. Under any measure what they do is illegal. Why then, is everyone siding with Google news on this? This legislation simply extends compulsory licensing to news publications.
Nothing about TPB is a breach of security on the parts of rights holders. The transactions taking place on torrent sites never even involve them. In reality, the only relation the law has to what TBP is doing is simply that depending on jurisdiction either:

The original uploader is violating the copyright of the copy he originally procured, but in some countries once he distributes that (and the recipient isn't liable, because it is a very Orwellian thing to claim that a user downloading some arbitrary file from anywhere is liable for the copyright violations involved, albeit if they are on TPB they have less of a defense there - but it is very thought police-y to try to assert that everyone is liable for all the data they download - because everyone is infringing copyright every day with every screenshot of Frozen or the cover art to music albums being pushed from websites to your music player.

All parties seeding are liable, albeit for the same reason I described earlier this seems like a gross dystopian model to use because it means you blame people for non-violent behavior they cannot know is wrong, just because the original provider of the data never disclosed its copyright status. It cannot be the fault of a recipient of information if they were never told it was being shared without a license to share on the part of the sharer, or that they do not then have rights to share.

Either way, that is nothing like hacking Sony's servers and copying movie data off of it. That is a violent intrusion on their digital property, literally, by entering their servers without their permission and with obvious intent to intrude and possibly duplicate or even destroy data.

Until the conversation about information sharing can be had outside of relating it to violence, which it is almost never, and I would never condone, then you can't have a legitimate conversation on this topic. First and foremost must be an acknowledgment that the copyright infringement most sites like TPB are advocating is the voluntary exchange of information one party has to one party that wants it, in violation of a state framework granting a third party to that transaction exclusive rights to control its distribution. That is just objective fact, before any subjective opinions or morality come into the discussion, but without that everyone is operating on false assumptions.
