I'm just wondering how people can order this stuff over the internet and expect it to be the genuine thing...

It just sounds extremely incautious to me.
Plus uptime robot helps you monitor your site. $10 a year is a steep price to pay for something thats just as easy to do for free.
As a fellow YC non-success story (with a different narrative), I really enjoyed this piece. I took different lessons out of my time in YC, but I endorse this:

I also want to note (in case anyone was wondering) that my experience
hasn't diminished my opinion of YC at all. PG's advice was spot on,
and YC remains an amazing program for founders.
Am I the only one who thinks it's insane that someone can go from an undergrad CS degree to a failed startup and then directly into (presumably well paid) consulting gigs? I'd be pretty wary of a consultant who's only work experience was starting their own company and failing.
There's a difference between creating something and then also promoting it. The FSF and the GNU project shouldn't encourage the creation of the plugin and they shouldn't promote it. However, they cannot stop anyone writing the plugin that exposes the AST in such a way to be usable by proprietary programs. The Emacs project also shouldn't promote this project.

This is exactly similar to how FSF and GNU don't promote the Windows version of Emacs. They don't hinder it or stop it, but they don't promote it or mention it either.

I think the Emacs maintainer blew things out of proportion and so has everyone else.
I'm not saying, though, that he's unaware of the real world impacts. I'm saying that he doesn't care about them (in this case). He is a smart man, and a visionary, and believe it or not, I have a great deal of respect for him, in large part because of how prophetic he's been regarding some of the troubling developments of recent years. That said, he doesn't appear to care about the impact of this decision, which is to drive everyone to clang/llvm.

If no one forks gcc to keep it from becoming technically inferior, then in ten years, we'll just have another open source compiler monoculture, but this time it will be clang/llvm.

(Edit: forgot an important word.)
Does the Sysrq key do anything else besides this? It doesn't make sense for everybody to have it on their keyboards just to serve low-level developers. The same goes for scroll lock and to some extent pause. A lot of keyboards combine these together and make them hard to find but they're still there for every computer user on the planet to look at and read while they're trying to find a key they actually want.
The site is only an example. You would actually order your own unique card to carry with you. No one would be able to guess your password since your spacebar code is unique to your card.
No need to suffer -- Apple lets you return your hardware in 14 days. You can trivially switch back.
The maintainer of Emacs, Stefan, actually started all of this forking talk.
Can we mirror the site using a domain CNAME'd to CE?

If we managed to get a bunch of them, and if those get removed, we could use another new domains.. It's a never ending game that guarantee we win -- except they take down the site.
The best solution I've found for that is Clojure and ClojureScript. That combination allows you to create a single, self-contained jar file that runs a local web server and opens a localhost address using your default browser. From there, it serves the web app you wrote.

My IDE called Nightcode (see nightcode.info) has a template for that. You just click "New Project", give it a name, and then choose the "Web" template. It will generate a project that builds a single jar file like I described. Sorry for being off-topic but I figured it might be what you want.

Once you get up to a threshold like 128 bits there's no real benefit in going further. So 22 alphanumeric characters is 'good enough for anyone'.
The scary part is how low that amount is. It's something like 1000 euro/day and 3000 euro/week. There's also a yearly value. It's been going down over time (by a lot, used to be 5000 euro/day only when the euro was introduced).
Note: blocked third-party scripts seem to break your site unnecessarily. The site loads fine, but the full-screen loading thing keeps covering it. Yeah, I know, my fault for running ublock, but maybe that is easily fixable.

Also, do you plan to extend to more TLDs?
Only if you wrote 100% of it or got other contributors to sign over their copyrights. (right?)
I don't think anybody does care, they just like to argue with Stallman. Clang's parse trees are cleaner and more useful than GCC's ASTs. Even if this were implemented in GCC it would be limited and inferior, so why bother?
I would go with something similar to the Diaspora Project: descentralized social network.
It's not two factor, so no it's not 'supposed' to fail if you lose it.
If you're a business customer in a bank, and you bring in cash on a regular basis, the bank will actually charge you a percentage for doing that.

From a discussion I had with a merchant, that rate is quite high, especially for small change. The value he gave for small change was 7%. That's a lot more expensive than the worst credit card charges, except for really small amounts.
In the world RMS wants, Apple would not have the right to develop Swift and make it proprietary. That's pretty incredible to me, and far more relevant than discussing Swift's barriers to adoption.

In RMS's world, hackers close ranks to make sure the power stays in the hands of the people, not the corporations. Sure, corporations might develop a bit of proprietary code now and then, but they are outpaced by armies of hackers writing GPLed code and replicating any innovations they develop. All the best compiler toolchains are GPLed in this world, and corporations are basically forced to participate in the Free Software movement, or suckle at its teat. It would not be possible in practice to sell software, because any software your computer could run would have to be GPLed!

A lot of other stuff happened instead. Now we have hackers working at corporations writing open-source code and sharing it with other corporations and the world. Companies don't sell software so much as provide various human and computer services. Corporations aren't evil, they can provide funding and organizational structure that is actually pretty valuable. And so on.
Are there any modern logic programming languages? I've tried looking for them before, but found nothing.
I rather have the impression that the development of IDEs ran past Mr Stallman - he didn't witness the development in refactoring, code completion etc. since these features are essentially implement in commercial IDEs (which he despises). So he just doesn't know anything about how useful (or not) these features are. He learned and did programming "in the old way" and sticked to that.
Aren't the cards all different? I assumed it would be a one-time-pad which is much more secure than a simple substitution.

Why Pygmies Aren't Scared by the 'Psycho' Theme
We had to use Prolog in my comparative languages class last semester and it was interesting, to say the least. With any class that brushes over a topic, I didn't get a full appreciation for what it can do, but it was an interesting paradigm to be exposed to if nothing else.

I didn't feel like I was doing "real programming", which likely says more about what we're taught than the merits of the language. I'd be interested to known how it's being leveraged presently? I know a lot of the standard use cases, but is there anyone solving really unique problems with it?
I doubt a gamer would buy a Mac Pro for a gaming rig.
Well, at least in my Spanish keyboard there are two functions for the SysRq key, as the keycap says:

Impr. Pant. | Pet. Sis. -- which is expanded to --> Imprimir Pantalla | Petición a Sistema -- which translates to --> Prnt Scr | SysRq

So that binding makes the key actually useful for everyday activities.

> However, they cannot stop anyone writing the plugin that exposes the AST in such a way to be usable by proprietary programs.

I'm not entire sure they couldn't... It really comes down to the definition of a derivative work. It's often assumed that a process boundary would somehow raise some legally impenetrable wall between works, but I'm not sure a court would necessarily agree.
That's awesome, and holy cow I think this is the first time I've ever seen Chrome on Linux actually render WebGL. Did they finally enable it by default in recent updates?
Yes. What this book leads you to is a classic UNIX-like OS - drivers in the kernel, a console, paged virtual memory. It doesn't lead you to a microkernel or a hypervisor or a cluster.
Ask HN: Hiring managers want apples, but recruiters are giving them oranges
I run a startup that's trying to make hiring managers and recruiters collaborate better to making hiring more efficient. But it's proving to be harder than we initially thought.

Hiring managers generally say that recruiters have, at best, a low/ moderate understanding of the jobs they're recruiting for.

While most recruiters think that they have a very high understanding of the jobs they recruit for.

Do you also find this disparity in perception from your experiences?

With the common objective being to get an A player on the engineering/ product/ design team, what are some ways they can be more collaborative and innovative in their approach to find the apples they need?
This argument is based on the assumption that LLVM is equivalent to GCC. If that were true, it wouldn't have really mattered that GCC exists or what it does and the argument wouldn't have been made in the first place. The fact that this argument exists undermines itself.

> why such hostility? why such trumpeting? why not respond on the mailing list?

I saw no hostility, and I'm not sure what you mean by "trumpeting"?

I don't know who the author is, but they felt like writing a blog post, and they did. People do that all the time.

Regarding the mailing list, typically one posts to a mailing list with a direct response to a previous message. If someone has a more general thought, that isn't a direct response to a concrete previous message, the mailing list might well not be the natural place to post it.

Overall the view being expressed in the blog is very reasonable, mainstream, and well-posed. It reflects reality - that LLVM is being used for all AST-export purposes these days. That's the world we live in now, for better or for worse.

With the drone the scan space doesn't overlap and it only needs to detect obstacles not fine details. It's trickier when they are scanning all sides of an object at the same time because the projector structured light patterns will tend to interfere with each other.
Keep the front page as it is, if you like. Tagging would not prevent anyone from viewing an unfiltered version of HN. You could look at the "all" tag, or the default view could be untagged unless you wanted to search/filter by tags. Absolutely nothing need be lost.

Searchable metadata, however, is very valuable for those of us who are interested in particular subjects. For example, I'd like a way to filter out every iPhone, Android, Apple, Google, Facebook, startup, and marketing article that comes through HN without having to manually scan through each article.

True, I could do keyword searches through the title and body of each article, but tagging would make such filtering much more reliable.

Not to take away from anything you've said, but in some scenarios, GCs have a lower impact on performance than dynamic allocation (well, if you use dynamic allocation). For one, they provide better throughput -- their overhead is mostly much higher memory usage, and latency (occasional pauses, although "pauseless" collectors -- actually, short pauses of a few milliseconds -- are used in the industry). But their more interesting advantage is in concurrent data structures. Many lock-free data structures (actually, most of the interesting ones) require a GC, or techniques that are less performant, less general, or both, like hazard pointers and user-space RCU.

Wool also started similarly and is now one of the most highly recommended scifi books.
In my humble opinion most of the success of the open source movement comes from the economics of open source software, and not the licensing. Because unlike physical goods, software can be copied, and thereby given away and kept available to myself at the same time. That creates a situation where sharing software is almost always the better opion than not sharing it (cheaper, easier, faster, stronger etc).

If somebody creates a complex non business-critical piece of infrastructure, they have incentive to open source it. Because By doing so they can still use it as before, but get bug fixes and additional features for free from the community.

If I create an improvement for that open source code base, I also have an economical incentive to share that improvement back to the maintainers. Because I too can give it away while keeping it. If it gets merged, others maintain it for me, and all future updates to the software already contain my improvement. If I keep that improvement to myself, I have to patch all future versions of the software myself, which becomes harder over time as the software changes. Giving my patches back makes my life easier than not doing it.

I'm not against the idea of GPL, and the good intentions it has. It was necessary and good at the time. Some might still seem it necessary for philosophical or spiritual reasons, and that's okay. But most open source software that I'm aware of today, the majority of the open source revolution that the industry is experiencing right now (except for the honorable Linux) seems to be driven more by the economy of software sharing than the contractual requirement to do so.

Besides other problems (like not working with certain password requirements), this particularly doesn't work when a site forces you to reset your password because of a breach or time limit or who knows what. (Yahoo just forced a mandatory password reset on me today, without even giving a reason except to "protect my account".)

Then you've got to remember -- are you now on amazon3 or amazon4 or gmail4 or gmail5? And then it defeats the whole purpose of the card.

I really hope you didn't say that just because it appears the author is female, and I will give you the benefit of the doubt. The blogpost was not hostile at all.

>In the world RMS wants, Apple would not have the right to develop Swift and make it proprietary.

In the world RMS wants, people would shun proprietary software due to it not giving them the rights which are afforded to them through copyleft.

This is what he is advocating, that people should not accept proprietary software due to it not respecting their rights, not that proprietary software should be illegal.
These days he'd probably wind up as a VC accidentally investing in a bunch of hot startups.

The maintainers of pf (bsd license) were once hosed by Apple, understandable that rms doesn't want to enable easy future gcc front end proprietary software.

Henning Brauer:
"We have no problem with them using our code but we do not appreciate that they subjected it to the Apple Public Source License. They introduce some interesting ideas such as a ref count of how many times PF has been enabled or disabled but we are unable to use their implementation. Furthermore, the Apple Public Source License introduces contract law to an environment that only relied on copyright law. This is unfortunate."

Yes, indeed there are corner cases; and ugly outcomes. At the limit anyone can sue anyone for anything. But by broad strokes, both in theory and in practise the situation around copyright is far more clear, and appears to produce less collateral damage.

What you're saying is misleading. Here's how I would say it:

"In the world RMS wants, Apple would not have the right to develop Swift on top of a GPL-ed compiler platform and make it proprietary."

That's not incredible at all, and makes perfect sense.

I've never seen the the Free Software movement as "hackers" against "corporations". Places like Cygnus (bought by Red Hat) made a mint selling Free Software consulting services. Nobody ever had a problem with that. They thrived because they were good and they solved real problems for people. None of that is antithetical to either the Free Software movement or corporations.
