Writing backend agnostic code (CPU and GPU) jitted to fast LLVM is on the roadmap for python's Numba: https://github.com/numba/numba/issues/545

Currently supports both including multithreading. Its just he unified interface that is in the works.
It's a very Catholic mentality, the notion that sin is atoned for with suffering. It would seem entirely foreign to a Buddhist, for example, who would see fortune as a result of accrued karma.
Thank you for this! I was a little confused.
This is hacker news, I expect that things posted here are noteworthy to people who know what they are doing and can research stuff they are interested in for themselves.

Posts of the type "Did you know that the tooth fairy isn't real" are a waste of time to the professionals who read hacker news.

Also, anything I spend my time reading through expecting something unique / new and find nothing I respond this way.
These notes don't particularly seem very important. On the other hand, I always thought it would be interesting to have an art piece that is like "famous mathematicians notes at the moment when the inspiration struck."
Totally agree.

Reminds me of my favorite Mac Joke though I think it could apply to Linux folks too so feel free to swop it out. ;)

"How can you tell a Mac user? Answer: They tell you"

A network support guy laid that on me a few years back, I thought it was hilarious because it's so true. I have since stopped mentioning I'm a mac user...
As others have said in this thread, travel is one sure way to get some interesting experiences (including of the Chinese kind [1] :)

I once stayed in a hut on a beach, 5-10 seconds away from the water's edge (depending on the tide), for 3-4 weeks. Could hear the roar of the ocean all night (and day). Good experience.

Sumo Logic currently has the ability to extract known fields on ingest, making them available for searches, much like the Splunk query provided above. Dynamic fields, such as new KVPs that are logged out are able to be pulled out in the query with one extra step, as follows:

| kv infer "event","price" | sum(price) by event | where price >2

The kv operator refers to key value pairs. There is also a json operator which functions the same way.
Neither income nor unemployment is back to previous normal levels. How exactly is this evidence that there's no correlation between the two?

I'm curious if they could just become 100% cafe. I've got to assume it would be successful. They're in a great location. There's plenty of other cafes in SF that are doing fine. I suppose maybe they don't want to run a cafe? Although they are already running a cafe. What about just making it a SciFi themed cafe? They could still put a few books out. They could still invite authors and have SciFi / Fantasy speakers.

Just a thought.

There's nothing unfortunate about acknowledging the racial themes in To Kill A Mockingbird, and doing so doesn't diminish any of the other messages. It would be a shit book if it were only about one thing. One of the things it's about is race, unpleasant as it may be.

Forestry in a Treeless Land – Icelandic Forest Service
You're proposing negative incentives, which may have the unintended consequence of eliminating both full-time and part time positions as companies opt to cut costs and outsource to overseas service providers.

The danger is real. There are very few activities which can't be done remotely today, other than... massage, food service, medical (but even then some can be outsourced, e.g. radiology).

I would prefer to see positive incentives, e.g. a tax break for every full time job that is filled domestically. Give them a financial reason to hire full timers, and they'll hire full timers. Punish them for hiring part timers, and they'll just move overseas, and then another few million people will be permanently unemployed or under employed.
The restoration effort at Bletchley Park has gone over the top. I visited the place on a weekday in 2002, when almost nobody went there unless they were really into crypto history. It was run down, and there were only about 10 people visiting that day. The tour guide was more into the architecture of the mansion than the crypto, although they had a bombe model (a prop made for a 2001 movie) and had started on the Colossus rebuild. The only thing that worked back then was one Enigma machine. A non-working Lorenz machine and some other gear was in glass cases. The guide pointed out where various of the huts had been. It was just one of those obscure, slightly run down historical spots one visits in England, with the usual lake and swans.

Then they got National Lottery funding. Now they've rebuild most of the huts in brick, re-landscaped the grounds, have elaborate displays, added the "National Museum of Computing", renamed it "Historic Bletchley Park", put in a visitor's center, a children's playground, a cafe, and, of course, a gift shop. There's "Turing Gate" "Colossus Way", "Enigma Place", two memorials, and more stuff under construction.

All this is on the Bletchley Park side. The Colossus rebuild is at the National Museum of Computing, which is on the same property but has separate staff and funding. (http://www.tnmoc.org/) They don't get along with the Bletchley Park tourist operation and don't have public funding. ("Other exhibitions are available at Bletchley Park, but operated independently of the Bletchley Park Trust.", says the Trust site.)

Sort of presumptive.
My issue is that I'll happily own up to my mistake if the amount I have to pay is fair. A $60 parking ticket obtained during the $.25 an hour rate seems unfair when the street is half empty.

Jeremy was involved in a number of actual attacks together with other "members" of Anonymous.

It may not seem like terrorism in the typical sense you think, but disrupting computer systems randomly and maliciously is a type of terrorism.

I think it is perfectly reasonable to consider this particular individual a type of terrorist based on his actions. ( see other comments about his additional violent actions and suggestions )

If you think you can go around doing whatever you want with computers, and not have the government add you to a number of lists, then you are in some serious denial.

An alternative example: I don't hack random people, nor do I advocate violence, but I recently purchased some aluminum powder and red iron oxide off the internet. If I was added to the watchlist just for purchasing those substances, then -that- would be much more ridiculous.
I think the difference of opinion here is on the definition of "violence", which is a part of the definition of "terrorism".

AKA blowing up a building to scare people is, hacking into stuff (however damaging) isn't. Maybe that line needs to be re-defined in the 21st century, I don't know... but nobody brought Islam into the debate other than you.
> ... attempt to shift public perception of environmentalists ...

That might be a little tough, because eco-terrorism is already a thing - I remember the word being used as far back as the early 90s. So they would have to equate participation in the democratic process to burning down housing developments and research facilities, a tall order.
Was Malcom X a "terrorist"? Are the looters in the Ferguson riots "terrorists"? Are the countless people who are in prison all "terrorists"?

"He tried to beat up an old man in a restaurant"? Really? When was that? Because the closest I know of was the David Irving incident, where he protested the speaking event of a holocaust denier at a restaurant, and one person in the group (not Hammond) accidentally hit an unrelated patron with a bottle. They never tried to "beat up" anyone. And "he's threatened many people with physical harm"? Again, where are you getting these ridiculous statements from?

Your claim that he's "been to prison multiple times" is particularly laughable. He's been arrested multiple times. So had Martin Luther King Jr. and pretty much every civil rights activist I know of, along with plenty of the anti-war protesters in the 2000s, Occupy protesters in the 2010s, and hell, members of congress and mayors I know of. Are they all "terrorists"? Hammond has only been to prison for the hacking charges. Not every arrest means you land in prison, and assuming that it does is insanely presumptuous.

"And he's involved with the hacking and leaking of private and public information, basically to cause damage to the federal government, capitalistic entities and individuals." He leaked information he thought should be public. It was illegal, and a lot of people (most?) agree that it should be. But how was this significantly different than blacks doing illegal sit-ins at segregated restaurants during the civil rights movement, other than the former offending your personal values this time? Just because something is criminal and political doesn't make it "terrorism," as much as law enforcement and prosecutors would like you to believe otherwise.

[correction: He's actually been to prison once before this, for another hacking incident.]
The author was trying to point out how many different pieces you'd have to hack together to get to the equivalent of what Meteor gives you out of the box.

So no, you don't need to install all that other stuff to use Meteor if that's what you took the author to mean.
Reveal is an awesome tool because it removes all the guesswork and debugging, and lets you get on with making cool shit.
Sure, if that's the case. In my experience, though, these services simply contest everything in the hope that the officer in charge or the ticket will not have time to follow up, and the case will get thrown out even if it's a perfectly reasonable fine. It works, but that doesn't make it right.

The thing required to be a professional at something--the only thing required--is to convince somebody to pay you for your product or work. Whether you're actually any good at it is a different matter entirely, and somewhat only tangentially related getting paid.

The article keeps harping on the claim that humans cannot distinguish between 16 bit/44.1kHz and higher resolution. But the data from the author's experiment suggests the opposite: a good majority of his subjects were able to distinguish between the two resolutions. It's just that most of those picked the "wrong" one as their favorite. That's not surprising. Most people these days don't know what natural sound quality is, because all they ever listen to is recorded or grossly amplified music. As a consequence, the sharp and edgy sound of low-res audio sounds better to them than the softer and smoother high-res. That's of course a legitimate choice, but it is not a reason to dismiss high-res recordings.

It's not inevitable without additional burden of minimum wage increase, it is inevitable with it There's a level of expense where the business is viable, and the level of expense where the business is not viable, and no investment or loans are going to change that - investments/loans are temporary measures, they do not change the income/expense balance. The only way investment could help is if it could either reduce the expenses long-term or increase the income long-term, this was not possible. In that situation, increase of the expense brought by minimum wage rise took the business from the point of being viable to the point of being non-viable, just as any increase of the expenses that can not be avoided would.
I wonder if this is their in for B&M stores. I can also see this as part of their plan to start shipping items before you even buy them. I click checkout and it tells me to just go pick up the item from Radio Shack on 6th and Weidler.
umm, source?
I agree with your point. Shall I edit the title to "expert" - maybe that's a more fitting word for this experiment?

Edit:
I've changed the title - you're right, professional is too broad and he's talking more about becoming the very best.

This.. really isn't suprising. Ios 8 is immediately available on all modern iPhones, whereas Lollipop is still unsupported on almost all devices in the android market. Heck, the Verizon galaxy s5, one of the more common phones, just got the update yesterday! Additionally, many people are afraid of loosing their root, which is all-but-essental for power users.
> I've never heard anyone say or intimate that they would, either.

I'm completely in agreement with you. Unfortunately I've been to a handful of tech meetups where I've heard this exact phrase. It's like they look down on me for using windows :( I dunno, maybe it's my limited perspective but I've actually been feeling like I'm not taken as seriously when I show up to tech meetups with my thinkpad.

Java Swing turned out to be a failure because it didn't look native on any platform.

I would recommend something like Eto.Forms (https://github.com/picoe/Eto) which is an abstraction over native GUI toolkits (WPF, WinForms, GTK+, Cocoa)

Works really well and mature.
Not really, no. I can't say I've ever used a text editor to search a huge log file in that way.
I think the handwriting is on the wall:

> However, there is also some sadness in this announcement. As we transition to DataStax, we will find little time to contribute to Titan and interact with the Titan community. We will miss that and hope that it will be carried forward.

From that link it sounds like they're going to work on more tightly integrating inside of Cassandra. Which is a nice idea ... except that we have to wait for it.
What possible evidence do you have to support this? Why is it crazy to think that the beaver builds a dam because it wants a place to live? Why wouldn't the beaver choose to cut down logs with the intention of using them to build a dam? After all, this is what we observe the beaver doing. Of course since we cannot inhabit the mind of the beaver we cannot know for certain whether the beaver is a thinking being or a blind automaton, but since we consider ourselves thinking beings and the beaver's brain is not wholly unlike our own, why don't we give the beaver some benefit of the doubt? Most of us extend this courtesy to other humans...

It doesn't look like you paid much attention when reading, min. wage goes up immediately, not in 2018. 2018 was mentioned in different context altogether - that if the plans of minimum wage in 2018 become true, it makes more sense for the owners to get minimum wage job than to own/manage a bookstore, both money-wise and effort-wise.

I don't buy this. All the parties directly involved - the owners, the present employees, the landlord, and the customers - seem to be in a steady state. It's impossible to predict how long a small business like this might continue; there are still cobblers in San Francisco. Unlike large businesses, small proprietorships can survive in the margins for long periods.

Also: If you shoot someone, you can't defend yourself against murder by saying "his death was inevitable anyways".
"The documents also included the only known examples of Banbury sheets, a technique devised by the mathematician Alan Turing to accelerate the process of decrypting Nazi messages. No other examples have ever been found."

Uh, this metric is nuts, because it views anything that isn't 9-5 on a payroll as 'not a real job'. That ignores everything from independent contractors to seasonal work. These are huge components of the economy and always have been.

So what does a movement in the metric even mean? Does it mean that people are working less, or does it mean that more people are self employed? Or students longer?

I think wages are a more insightful way of estimating labor supply and demand. It's not great news:

"U.S. real (inflation adjusted) median household income was $51,939 in 2013 versus $51,759 in 2012, statistically unchanged. The 2011 level was $51,842 and the 2010 level was $52,646.

In 2013, real median household income was 8.0% lower than the 2007 pre-recession level of $56,436.[1]" (wikipediarite)
I'm sure there's no way to use technology to improve how our minds work, so we definitely shouldn't try.
