I enjoy the company of women, and am generally interested to hear what they have to say. However, when what they have to say approximates the story in Slate, then I do lose interest.
Excellent question. I don't believe there is a c++ implementation but you should check out http://rumpkernel.org/.

vm+unikernel is definitely higher overhead than process+os, but more many workloads using shared hosting (aka "the cloud") you're stuck with a vm. A unikernel is then the lightest weight abstraction to put on your vm.
minksy also developed a theory later on about how emotions play into cognition and intelligence and wrote [1] as kind of a sequel to SOM.

Re-read it. #1 the recruiter (Maxine) didn't really work for the famous googler she claimed to work for. She worked for #2 who was just a regular old manager.
The very concept of dereferencing doesn't exist at that level.
In that scenario, could one claim that "one's name being Elwood means one is more likely to BE a farmer"?
As a recruiter, I'd be curious to hear what tricks were played to get you to interview. I'm an independent, so when I speak to people there is never anything ambiguous about our discussions (my clients are not looking to acquire your product if you have one).

Is it possible that Google liked your product and subsequently thought you might be a good hire, but didn't like your product as a potential acquisition? That is where I think the difference lies. Were you contacted as "I'm from Google and we are interested in you", or "I'm from Google and we are interested in your product"? That is a big difference. The fact that you specifically mention "Their recruiters" would lead me to believe it was the former, but if they mention your product (beyond some acknowledgment of it) that might fall into a gray area.

Thousands of people abandon small side projects and independent businesses every year to join companies as an employee. Just because a company is recruiting someone who happens to have some product doesn't necessarily mean that the hiring company has interest in both the person and the product.

A Comprehensive Guide to Learning React.js
Seconded, would love to use this with my existing FF workflow.
Fantastic write-up and application.

I gave y'all my money a two or three months ago, and I've been very happy with your product. I had been flirting with a few other mostly-online solution for over a year (looking through book-marks they were layoutit.com and jetstrap), but always felt the features offered were half-hearted and clunky in a browser.

"You can’t come out to a saturated market with just a couple of useful features. Pinegrow had to have all the main features from the start: ability to open any HTML file, full range of configurable Bootstrap components, CSS editor with integrated LESS parser and the ability to edit multiple pages at the same time. After all, that is what distinguished Pinegrow from the rest."

You had me pretty well sold with stand-alone software, lifetime usage w/ 3 installations for commercial purposes, and element drag-and-drop combined with side-by-side page + code view. Access to edit CSS was a feature I didn't know I needed, but I definitely did. I was very impressed with the "Open From URL" feature when I found it, but it certainly wasn't a purchase point for me.

If the market was providing these things elsewhere, props for capturing my queries first.

Kudos for an impressive product that does the thing it's supposed to well.

Obama's Breach Notification Plan Lacks Specifics
> Zeroed memory should not be particularly expensive on modern machines, because we have a lot of parallelism available to zero it off working threads.

If your plan is to use other threads to zero the memory, then your malloc() implementation needs to move every freed region into a thread-safe queue to be zero'd and wait for the other thread to pick it up before the memory is eligible to be allocated again. This adds synchronization costs, creates opportunities for false sharing, and introduces starvation issues.

Also, there are applications that genuinely peg all CPUs already. In these cases, this approach makes even less sense because there is no spare CPU sitting around, so you pay the overhead for no actual parallelism.

> When software starts relying on things like overflow checks and zeroed memory, hardware manufacturers like Intel start building and optimizing hardware to make them faster.

I'm pretty sure Intel already has plenty of incentive to make memset(ptr, 0, n) fast. Also I'm not sure how overflow checks could be made much faster, except maybe to create an entirely separate set of integer instructions that raise hardware exceptions on overflow. Maybe that would be worthwhile, I don't know.

> The "prefer performance over correctness" bias that's existed in the C world has been responsible for a lot of damage. We need to get out of it.

The "correctness checks are free because we want them to be" bias that exists in other languages has been responsible for a lot of languages and runtimes that are "nice" but that no one could actually write a competitive web browser (for example) in.
Case insensitivity only makes sense dealing with ASCII. Once you allow files and directory names with unicode characters, case insensitivity no longer makes any sense.
The end result looks nice, I'd say even surprisingly so all things considered. This sort of thing is something I have wanted to do for some time, but have been pushing back due lack of money/time/tools/skills. Albeit in my grandiose plans I was thinking of more "engineered" approach, using some nice ARM module[1] instead of stripped RPi, bare LCD[2], custom keyboard[3] etc.

[1] e.g. https://www.toradex.com/computer-on-modules/colibri-arm-fami... looks quite nice and so-dimm form factor is inherently relatively thin.

[2] e.g. http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-6-1280-800-TFT-LCD-HV056WX1-100-Lc... bit bigger than what OP has, but still should be very portable

[3] This is surprisingly something that seems quite difficult to do. Maybe I'll need to 3d-print some keycaps. Or use mechanical switches, like these ones https://www.e-switch.com/product-catalog/tact/product-lines/...
For reference, NTFS is case-sensitive. Win32 is case-insensitive. The case sensitivity is implemented at a layer above the filesystem so that classic Windows apps will behave the way users expect. (Case sensitive filesystems are confusing for users and mostly create opportunities for horrible mishaps.) As a result, the POSIX subsystem can store case sensitive files just like a linux FS would, with 'FOO' and 'foo' being separate files right next to each other:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/100625

Case insensitivity like win32's is still kind of a mess, but it's unfair to paint the developers of NTFS as idiots when they actually got this right. Above the FS layer is the correct place to implement case insensitivity, because case insensitivity is a feature that aids users in selecting files, not a feature that aids applications in opening them or creating them.
That's a strange feature to include on a machine I'm not paying the power or cooling bill for. Why would I ever set it to anything other than 11?

C# 6 equivalents in C# 5
Thanks for the down-vote, but seriously do you have an argument here? Even Monsanto's "Roundup Ready" GMOs merely express a modified version of an enzyme that allows them to synthesize essential amino acids even in the presence of the pesticide. There is no rational argument for why modifications to the DNA region that regulate production of the enzyme or modifications to the enzyme could be dangerous in any way... Even when ingested, these macromolecules would be digested rather than absorbed, as in the case of a bioactive small molecule that is readily absorbed from consumer plastics (e.g. BPA).

A lot more code, if you count the fact that the definition of "case" varies between languages, some of which don't even have such a concept. Add to that Unicode's varying representations that are visually identical but different sequences of bytes, and you have one hell of morass to deal with.

Ask HN: How to find software developer positions that offer relocation?

Could anyone give me advices for better way to look for such positions?

If they somehow came up with the money to buy an iPhone -- $500+ unlocked, or $100+/month on a multi-year contract -- they don't "not [have] the money" to occasionally spend $1 on an app. They've just chosen to spend a lot on the phone itself, which might not leave much left over.

Lest you think I'm speaking from a position of not understanding poverty: my salary in 2013 was $21k pre-tax, with a wife and a kid. I had a $10 flip phone and spent about $8 a month on minutes.
I agree basically. Christians have killed plenty of people as have atheists. Though with slightly different rationals oftentimes.
Let's see ... Freedom of speech ... the answer is "No".

Every other religion, and atheism, and every government party, and ... Don't get this treatment. Just on page two of the newspaper in front of me is a depiction of green party voters as idiots. Apparently they're all women, ugly, fat and insane. This depiction is done to denounce what boils down to the actions of a city official.

Should I write the paper complaining that there are multiple branches, men, and a great variety of ideas while complaining of racism ?

An attitude like this will kill all humor.

Btw what do you make of the primary source material ? Like that list of people muhammad had executed ? Is that somehow excluded from "mainstream" islam ? It seems to me a very well established point that islamic literature is not exactly peaceful, and "the prophet" is at best a warlord ... At worst ...
> The double integral of acceleration is displacement.

Have you actually tried this? I have and the results were totally unusably off. If the accelerometer that costs a few dollars at best could be that precise, you'd see thousands and thousands of new apps that would use it in creative ways. It's just from my experience you can't calculate displacement using an accelerometer that cheap and therefore you don't see iPhone apps that use it.
just as with programming languages, case sensitivity seems to me to purposefully introducing the possibility of errors.
Being an erlang programmer I am so used to programming for the correct case and not to check errors but let the process crash when you get an error or, rarely, use a try that I find this style of programming completely wrong. It is what we are trying to avoid. You will always miss cases.
Thanks! Glad to hear that PG was a good investment for you :)
what a shitty comment.
did you try to use some Adobe product on case sensitive version of HFS+?
let me guess, no you didn't. because if you would, you would find out that some programs simply doesnt work on case sensitive HFS+, most likely because people like you, who simply "know" whats better for end user
Yes. That said, I think Netflix is much better for TV than for movies.

No, you just feel abandoned in general, and attribute it to politics because human brains are prone to seeing patterns and causation even where none exist. Get a dog. Volunteer at a soup kitchen. Don't stay cooped up reading online news forums all day.
The exploit was not "caused" by HFS+. It was caused by either not knowing or not caring that HFS is a case-insensitive file system.
Yup, you got it right. The wording is important.

Simple Algebraic Data Types
The cell signal is orders of magnitudes more powerful than the GPS one. In fact, GPS even has a noise floor that's higher than the signal.

As for using GPS, WLAN and others, you can get pretty accurate measurements with sensor fusion, even if the individual sensor values are all noisy or inaccurate.

From past experience I'd also expect GPS to not be available unless you're near a window. But if it's there you can use it to get a more accurate location.

> it does seem that iPhones are now overpowered for... well... phones (they are pretty much last-gen console/low end PC level now, or will be soon)

The race to idle means that we still have room for more powerfull mobile CPUs. It's just that the extra power will appear as extended batttery life at the marketing material.

Anyway, I think the current generation is very near "good enough", people may switch once more, but the fast replacement of phones are getting to an end.
Well, most users are not developers and will not need to use a case sensitive filesystem.
Many just use aluminum, or cheaper metal to interfere with signal. There are many different types out there but all the good quality wallets with this functionality are $60-100+
you forgot the bandwidth price
Might be. It's still 10-20x the market price.
I don't know. Now you end up in a circumstance where you have N files named some variant of "Foo" and the GUI layer can't distinguish them.

Enforcing this invariant at the filesystem layer (with well defined semantics, which HFS+ at least documents semi-well) seems eminently reasonable to me.

A totally normal part of insight meditation is to cycle through states of mind that have increased suffering. They're so common, that experienced meditators can pinpoint when they are entering into "Fear", "Misery", "Disgust", "Dissolution", "Desire for Deliverence", etc.

It is these states of mind, where, if you can hold strong to the meditation instructions and objectify everything in the field of experience, the possibility for liberation from suffering arises. When you realize that these experiences are just experiences arising and vanishing on their own, not things happening to 'I', there is an immediate relief from the suffering of those experiences.

From http://alohadharma.com/2011/06/12/the-dark-night/

"As the meditator moves along the path and has already experienced their attention syncing up with the arising of phenomena, then the peak of phenomena, it then moves to the passing away of phenomena. I call the next section of the path the “Dark Night” and in the commentaries it is also called “the knowledge of suffering.”

As you can gather from the name, this is a pretty difficult part of the path. It is so difficult in fact, this is where most meditators get into trouble, and can become stuck. The sheer discomfort and negativity of this part of the path may lead the meditator to conclude that they are no longer “doing it right,” and they may decide to just quit meditating. After all, why keep at it when it pretty much hurts to meditate? In the Zen tradition, this part of the path is called the “rolling up of the mat” for just that reason – the meditator just wants to throw in the towel and stop.

This actually makes a lot of sense if you do not know the map. The memory of the rapturous A&P is still fresh in the mind of a meditator who initially steps into the Dark Night. Compared to the joy and wonder that was only just experienced, the Dark Night is a horrible let down. But it is important to know that the difficulty being experienced is a sign of progress – it means that you are doing the meditation correctly."

So, the reason for the aloofness of the staff is partially because these phases are totally expected and normal, and unless you are having a true psychotic episode, the whole point is to push through.
It's almost like higher learning institutions have been taken over by a class of people with little experience in research, teaching, or education...
Yes, I can. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezbollah#Alleged_suicide_and_t... for a list of attacks attributed to Hezbollah, which is a Shi'ah organization.

Furthermore support of violence to suppress freedom of religion is by no means limited to a small splinter sect in the islamic world. For example in a Pew survey, 88% of muslims in Egypt support the death penalty for converting away from islam. When you consider that about 95% of Egyptians are muslim, that's a pretty mainstream view.

If you want to know more about muslim views, I highly recommend reading through http://www.pewforum.org/files/2013/04/worlds-muslims-religio... for perspective. Coming from a Western view you might encounter a lot of, "No, you think you are tolerant but what you think of as tolerance really isn't." And it is important to understand that.

The item I pointed to is kind of canonical. A muslim who lets others practice their religion believes that he is tolerant of those religions. And continues believing that even while saying that if a member of one of those religions convinces some other muslim that that religion is correct, then they need to be killed for the attack on the one TRUE religion, islam!

That assumes that there's only one chip in the server (unlikely with 36 vcpus listed for C4), that you're happy with using a desktop chip with no ECC for Hetzner, and your pricing doesn't consider reserved instance pricing for C4 which costs much less than $1300.

Boxee was one of the first to do a USB wireless keyboard in a nice form factor, though it is primarily a remote. They are tough to find, especially the 'sold separately' edition with the USB dongle (instead of de-soldering the receiver from a Boxee). Here's one on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/111569863840

There are a number of knock-offs now, such as http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0092KDSQW/

However, if the AdaFruit 'smallest wireless USB keyboard available' didn't work out then these probably won't either.
