Basically, an Emacs maintainer thinks that this gcc restriction is so harmful to important emacs features that he would be willing to "consider a fork"

How did you get it prescribed?
> If you are a free software advocate it makes all the sense in the world as well to continue developing GCC until such a time where the technical merits of LLVM are too great to ignore.

Unspoken is that there's not a ton of people ideologically devoted to RMSfree software these days. LLVM being usable by anyone is not sufficiently different for the current contributors and, I daresay, an overwhelming majority of folks who'd have a passing notion to work on such a project.

One could choose to learn to be an effective LLVM developer, taking what that community will give, and then just not contribute back to the community in much the same way as the GNU folks sneer about proprietary code, but I think the intersection between people who are interested enough in LLVM to work on it and the people so objectionable as to try such a scheme is small. (But I am an optimist.)
I respectfully disagree, and think "because it's fun" is a dangerous precedent to set.

When I was in grad school there was an informational poster in the lobby that said something to this effect: "Why are you in lab at 12am on a Friday night? Because science is your passion, and you are awesome. Good job."

I should have graffiti-ed "THIS IS PROMOTING AN UNHEALTHY LIFESTYLE" next to it. Why should we encourage this behavior -- especially in graduate students, lowest on the totem pole? How many PIs burn the midnight oil, versus living their life with their families? It felt so degrading.

One of the most valuable things I learned from career development in grad school was that, in the real world, you can demand to be paid what you're worth. (And, ironically, you are respected more for it.) I think it is this, more than the actual salary, that is responsible for the depression seen in the article.

One interesting option is hydrogen generation and injection -- hydrogen gas is hard to store but it reduces engine temps because it produces water.
Thanks, that very much is not clear. I'd expect a very high number of end to end speeding violations.
Apple clearly copied Red Star. Juche, bro.
Wouldn't this be more appropriate for the "Show" section? The app looks kind of neat. I can't say much more than that as I don't own any Android devices.

I happened to see this in Bellevue, Washington today as well. I was in a rush though so I didn't get to stop and look at how it worked. I actually assumed it was just fishing line. It served the correct purpose though of catching my eye in a store where I normally just walk straight past.
Such a sad state of affairs. I hope Wikipedia gets its act together. The attitude of the "established" editors toward new editors and female editors is particularly disturbing. I admire the site and its mission, but the execution needs to be far better.
Because copyleft is intentionally viral. Controlling that virality is hard. It's easy for your non-GPL code to become infected. The license is very long and there is not consensus on how it applies. It's largely untested in courts. Stallman believes that even dynamically linking GPL code constitutes a derived work.

I diagree, and think the OP's point is actually quite prescient: "winner take all" is exactly how science is rewarded.

The first to a discovery can claim the credit, and will get the merit added to their score on grant applications, tenure, etc. The second discoverer, or one who affirms the finding, is considered at best to lack creativity.
Thanks for the clarification. But it doesn't seem unreasonable to figure out if you're speeding between two toll booths. They know how long the road is, they can tell how fast you're going. I've often wondered why police don't do more of this. It seems like a relatively easy way of catching a lot of people.
Afghanistan: What We're Leaving Behind
“Why does a car like the Tesla still have old-style fuses?”
He seems to think that gcc could output a incomplete AST that could be used to implement all necessary emacs features without being usable for compiler backends. The other emacs maintainers seem to think that is fighting with one hand tied behind their back.
The answers to these questions, and why they're not addressed at length there, is:

1) The typical SaaS company has no meaningful ability to raise capital at cheaper terms than pre-pays offer. If you could get a bank loan for 5% a year, then you actually have to do math here, but you can't get a bank loan for 5% a year as a SaaS company. It's virtually impossible. Not only can my business not get a bank loan, large, successful SaaS companies find it difficult to raise meaningful amounts of money on the terms that e.g. a restaurant would get if they pledged the real estate as collateral.

If you speak to more specialized lenders, you can get them to loan you money based on your existing revenue, but the cost is typically > 10% on an APR basis. If you speak to less-specialized alternative small business lenders, you can easily end up in the 30% region. (OnDeck, for example.) Or you could do merchant cash advantages, which are up their with payday loans, except company-sized.

2) A rule-of-thumb for churn rates on month-to-month SaaS is +/- 5% before you start really working on it, 3% after you've done significant work on that, and 2% if you're among the most successful in the industry. This implies that you expect to lose between ~22% and ~46% of customers in the first 12 months. The yearly discount costs you ~8% and locks in those first 12 months of revenue. Assuming people willing to accept that deal are not a-prior wildly better customers than the median customer at the best month-to-month SaaS companies, it's net-beneficial virtually every time.
I was just considering the same point. While I didn't answer it in the first draft of the accidental essay I just wrote, I'll include it in the second.

The jest is that by having two disparate groups so close to each other, it encourages an us versus them mentality that discourages community members from embracing some of the attributes of the other group (in the case of my essay it would be education, because I write a lot about the different ethos that students had depending on which region they lived in).

Regardless I believe your points still have a large amount of merit. Especially the last which points out how those that are fortunate tend to alternate between fads of 'caring' for various less fortunate groups, in this case it is that of East Palo Alto.
I put together a mobile-friendly version of a Javascript NES emulator for a hackathon [1], and I converted it to use the Web Audio API[2]. It works, but sounds very janky. I had to divide all of the integer audio samples into floating point values just so that they could be converted to integer values at some point later on. I also wanted to be able to use a gamepad for the emulator, but the last revision to the Gamepad API was a year ago[3], and browser support is pretty lacking[4]. I really like the idea of browser emulation because native emulators are banned from the App Store, but the web APIs are just not there yet.

I've been mostly a lurker here on HN for the past few years, and haven't made many comments.

So for the sake of my learning curve, can anyone clue me in to the reasons for down votes? I don't take them personally. Just curious and wanting to learn. Is it because the comment seems spammy? Or is it off topic? Sloppy writing?
I liked to think about taking in half the number of PhDs but increasing their salary, focusing only on applicants that can realistically produce. Or even better, shortening the PhD to 3-4 years, forget the salary altogether, and turning it into more of an apprenticeship, with the postdoc being the workhorse of academia.
> rake Apple over the coals over

You spend a lot of time negating dmm's comments about Apple, when most of his post was about pools of power controlling or attempting to control a given bit of software. Granted, Apple spends a bit of time doing this very thing quite frequently and most people seem cool with it (because it's so easy!), so I'm curious why you are so set on defending it?
How about doing Vigenere in your head? This is what I do: I actually write my passwords down in my little black book, which I carry in my pocket. I use a simple Vigenere cypher in case I lose the book. Each password is encrypted with the same master key, which I memorize.

For example, if my master key was 1234, and my password was 'baNana3', it would write down 'ayKwmy0'. When I look up the password, I shift the letters forward as I type them:

a + 1 = b

y + 2 = a (wrap around the end of the alphabet)

K + 3 = N

w + 4 = a

m + 1 = n

y + 2 = a

0 + 3 = 3

It's not too hard to advance 9 or fewer letters in the alphabet as you type.

I think i'm safe. Am I?

Wikipedia claims[0] that this is not allows in California, though the citation has suffered link-rot.

I think enforcing speeding limits could also discourage the use of things such as ez-pass, which may very well result in more revenue, compared to the same tolls collected in cash by real people. So it could hurt the revenue stream from tolls.

> The funding is just not there at my uni

Does that mean you won't be able to continue? As other posters suggested, if your "burning questions" are about leaving, perhaps you should set yourself up with an Exit Master's and use that to start your new career in neuro, depending on your situation and university.

Would you consider redlining or housing covenants that restricted particular groups to be policies that were "enforced at the point of a gun"? Both were contributing factors to segregation.
I think there is something to be said about the quality of life in these individual cities.

From San Jose through Carlmont, Burlingame etc., each city already has a large amount of development and more importantly, are residential neighborhoods containing schools, parks, and the like.

There are already very large amounts of traffic congestion at certain points (currently have Ralston and Hillsdale in my mind), and near the various high schools in the area.

I'm not saying we shouldn't strive for better infrastructure and development planning but the Camino Real strip is not the low hanging fruit in my opinion.
Are all transponders in classical toll booth format in MD and NY? Here in Florida, most of the transponders are over-highway; you don't have to slow down or pull into a toll booth-like structure.
Yeah, I thought these string indexing algorithms are inherently decentralized. Ie. the data structures themselves are big trees.
I can go a lot lower. Silly contest.

The people at OSDev think it's good if it can run on a 386. Mine is modern and requires a 64-Bit 2 Ghz CPU.
Luz (from Charlie Hebdo): “All eyes are on us, we've become a symbol”
A toll near me (NC) has cameras and an electronic sensor over the highway; it reads your pass if you have one, or takes a picture of your license plate if you don't so that they can mail you a bill later. (there are no humans, nothing to stop for)

When they first put it in, I noticed there are 3 or 4 of those in-road "buttons" (weight pads?) right in a row under the toll platform. They could be used to trigger the timing of the reader and camera, or I figured they could be used to determine speed quite easily.

So for a while after it was first put in, I would carefully hit my brakes and ensure my speed through the toll was right at the speed limit, then go back up to normal speed. But after a while I got lazy and stopped doing that, since nobody else appeared to be doing the same. "Everyone" was speeding through it.

I never received anything in the mail, and nowadays I rarely go through the toll. But now this article makes me think I could have been right, maybe they are recording speeds (or capable of doing so) and just doing nothing about it.
In the new world, no one cares that there are proprietary forks of Postgres. Proprietary software and free/open source software can coexist peacefully in our new world.

For example, the PostgreSQL project isn't harmed by CitusDB making a proprietary extension. Citus even decided to open source part of their extension, resulting in a net win for the PostgreSQL community. If PostgreSQL was GPL, Citus probably wouldn't contribute anything.

Or take EnterpriseDB, probably the largest fork of PostgreSQL. Yes, they have a proprietary product that they sell to enterprise customers. But just a quick look at the Postgres hackers mailing list shows that the developers at EnterpriseDB make significant contributions to the PostgreSQL project, even though a part of their work is closed source.

And I'm in a similar position: I make a living from selling a closed source client I developed for Postgres. But I also maintain Postgres.app, a completely open source server GUI for running PostgreSQL on OS X. If I couldn't sell licenses for my closed source app, I couldn't work on the open source project. (People just don't pay for open source software unless they need support. If your goal is to make software that doesn't need support, you're fucked.).

I understand that Stallman objects to proprietary software in principle. If you follow that school of thought, then the GPL is the way to go. But if you don't care about proprietary software -- as long as enough open source software is available -- then the new world has a lot of liberal licenses to choose from. In this new world, open source hackers and for-profit enterprises work together, instead of fighting another.
Tool booth structures are used for cases of mixed cash/ez-pass lanes. Other lanes are ez-pass only and don't have the shown booths.
It's not just the visuals either - they have a bunch of the apps down really really well.

Finder, Calculator, Calendar, the top menu, etc. All really spot on.

I'm playing around in it still. Managed to find my way to the Terminal, and I'm poking around the filesystem.

It is Linux, and seems to be based on a stripped-down version of RedHat (going from some of the remnants of certain man pages).

The UI is a modified/themed KDE.

They did a really good job with the apps - for example, the calculator app is "Calculator.app", which is really a directory with a Contents/Resources, etc directories inside it; the same way OS X does it.
The great thing about a Twitter account or using GitHub issues is that (ideally) you only have to answer a question once. You tweet out that you're aware of the issue and that you're working on it, or I browse for it in the GitHub issues and see it's already been raised and there's a pull waiting to resolve it.

The fact that Brace/Formspree allocate so many points to customer service inquiries on Assembly sounds like you're being inundated with questions that could be managed in a more open fashion?

Recruitment is quite a different to investing. First of all, the upside-risk is pretty much eliminated from the employee, usually. And the employees can be fired. Yep, I guess that it is somewhat rare, but at least there is that possibility.

Also, the self-censorship only means that pages from that site won't be in the Google index (and others). Pages which talk about the site and link to it will still be there. It's not some kind of complete blackout.

The original OP was not adressing things that can have a dialetic good/bad use like a knife, but things that can only have a bad effect, like guns for instance, they will only be used to hurt or take lives, you cant cook with a gun..

In his manhattan project example, produce atomic bombs will have only one bad consequence, same with guns, but not the same as a knife.

That is neither a description of how the world works nor is it a description of how the world should work. In human communities, social structures evolve around concepts like respect. It's anti-social for newcomers (or anyone else) to disregard those structures, regardless of whether or not it would otherwise be logical to do so.

In theory, HN allows a short-cut past all the social stuff by requiring disagreements to be stated in terms of facts. Of course it doesn't always work out that way in practice, but this is not such an instance because the comment that started this sub-thread didn't provide any substance at all behind its assertions and basically amounted to name-calling.

EDIT to add: Of course I agree that there is a basic level of respect that every person deserves. I'm just pointing out that it's possible to "level up" on that.

Well, if you want to get really technical, what you'd see from underwater would be much worse than what a camera sees, since your eyes require air to properly focus.

So if they wanted to make it what you would see underwater, they should just blur the crap out of it.
Asking what a person means when they use a word is not pointless - it's the only way to understand what they believe about the world. If you say "sound" and precisely define it as "auditory perceptions by a human", I then understand what you mean when you say "a tree falls in the forest and makes no sound". If you don't define "sound", then I might think you mean "a tree falling in the forest creates no vibrations in the air".

In contrast, using the word "vibrations" or "fred" instead of "sound" doesn't change the physical behavior of the air. That's why disputing definitions is pointless.

They probably don't actually want to know what the 85%-ile speed is on their roads, because people could start appealing speeding tickets, and people in crashes could start suing the state claiming the roads are intrinsically unsafe.

That's a very conservative way of looking at it. One can also observe that the political establishment concerned with the "war on drugs" is driven by moral panic, not science, and the legality and availability of psychoactive substances is therefore a function of politics, uncorrelated with safety or efficacy.

I trust random strangers on the internet to provide me with accurate and useful information about the composition and subjective effects of various experimental drugs far more than I trust the official bodies in charge of regulating them, because the official bodies are proven to be untrustworthy, while random strangers on the internet may or may not be untrustworthy.
I can't remember exactly where halfway through the book was, but the book certainly broadens its scope throughout, although it does certainly focus on the title character trying to survive. I thought the book was a roller coaster ride, and easily short enough to not get worn out.
