I'm no longer empathetic, because whenever I felt bad for people because terrible things happened to them, I saw them repeat mistakes. Empathy is behavior that only works if those around you are trustworthy. Societal empathy destroys the requirement to be so; and therefore makes it dangerous for individuals and society to be empathetic.
Interesting. I fly often above it. Next time will surely be gazeing down :)
in many cases thats not a short term concern. They see it as "let me spend $1M to buy $1M in revenue." Thinking is they can buy revenue, and then downline achieve efficiencies of scale to earn profits.
Or, more importantly, motivation.
This also may remind of how search engines, in particular, Google, displays the speed in milliseconds of returned results. I'd much rather have relevancy, accuracy and precision than speed. And this goes for the Genome.
I was hoping someone would come and provide this additional color. Doesn't this fact reduce the moral implications of dark pools, though?
But the FCC hasn't applied all of Title II. There's nothing in today's document about poles.
I remember when Kitematic first launched, they spent about an hour with me in a Hipchat support room. I hope they have a great time at Docker Inc!
It's far more (potentially) social than, say, VRBO.
We don't know yet whether Apple will adopt Vulkan or not. Vulkan is not just a direct competitor to Metal, but also an evolution of OpenGL ES, and so far Apple has adopted OpenGL ES.
Haven't people actually been giving UP their US citizenship because they tax their citizens wherever they live?

You're wrong. What's worse, you're being pedantic about being wrong.

If your hash function works properly, and you are dynamically resizing your hash by a constant fraction whenever it gets too full, you can bound the probability of hash collisions above, and bound the number of expected hash collisions by a constant. As is standard in resized data structure, the resizing is individually O(n) with frequency O(1/n) for an amortized cost of O(1) per insert.

Put all of that together, and the amortized average cost of an insert into the hash is O(1). This is a well-known standard result, and is the reason why hashes are useful.
I don't. I think the dragon and angel references are there not because of an understanding of the game but rather to make it sound like what a powerful card should be. Obviously, to the reader who doesn't know MtG a rare dragon is more powerful than a rare flower, after all.
No.

You're right – I keyed in on "stand-alone executable" and not the "crosscompilation" part of the question.

Would it be ok for Google to delete Usenet archives?

Or a library to burn down its own buildings? Or Google to delete all scans of old books?

History matters, because citations to "old" research/code may become more valuable with new requirements and research. Surely a company that "organizes the world's information" needs no explanation of these topics.
I think the audience is just bi-furcating. There are many Lyft riders who are horrified at the thought of sitting in the back solo of a non-professional's car. Likewise, there are many Uber riders who are insulted by the thought of chatting with their paid driver.
"Please explain to me how two criminals who have some sort of dispute -- like say how to disburse the proceeds from a robbery -- have any recourse through the courts. "

I never said they had recourse through the courts. I said they're adults, and are perfectly capable of settling disputes among themselves without resorting to violence. If they choose to resort to violence, that's entirely their fault, and no one else can be blamed for that.
True story: I took a parenting course titled Redirecting Childrens Behavior (great course, BTW) from an instructor who also taught an enterprise-oriented course called Redirecting Corporate Behavior. In class, I was curious and had to ask what the difference was. Her response was, "They're the same. People are the same at work as at home."
Take a look at what Flipboard did recently, with their whole mobile site built in JS and canvas

This is a HUGE improvement :D
Hearing web developers discuss the dangers of abstraction is just about the craziest thing in computer science. JavaScript and the DOM sit atop layer upon layer upon layer of abstraction that hides an absolute mountain of complexity around networking, memory management, hardware capabilities, parsing, rendering, etc.

Believing you're somehow avoiding abstraction because you only use a couple of additional libraries on top of JS and the DOM is like insisting on a 99th storey apartment instead of an 100th storey one, because you prefer being close to the ground.

You can by all means argue that all the big JS frameworks are poor abstractions. But a sweeping statement like "you cannot abstract away complexity" completely ignores the fact that web development as a field is only possible because of the successful abstraction of huge quantities of complexity.
> Anyone who thinks Airbnb is a "social experience" hasn't used and doesn't understand Airbnb.

Agreed. Maybe it was in its early days, but AirBnB today (In my experience using it ~10 times in the past 2 years, in major American cities. Could be different elsewhere) is that what you get is closer to a small boutique hotel service than a "social" experience, either with the hosts or other guests.
> because whenever I felt bad for people because terrible things happened to them, I saw them repeat mistakes.

Keep in mind, there are terrible things that happen to people because of their choices, and terrible things that happen to people that are beyond their control. There is a difference.

> Societal empathy destroys the requirement to be so; and therefore makes it dangerous for individuals and society to be empathetic.

Fixing society is currently beyond my experience cone unfortunately :/
At this point, I'm convinced LinkedIn is literally paying Google to whitelist their spam.

I have yet to find a single person who actually appreciates the emails LinkedIn sends them. That includes business people who got their job through LinkedIn, and the recruiters who use it.

When it gets to the point when TV shows are casually taking jabs at LinkedIn for their abusive email policy, I think that's a sign that they're not wanted. Anywhere.

Edit: To clarify, the recently released Simpsons episode poked fun at LinkedIn, as has John Stewart (multiple times), and John Oliver.

The FAA does care about safety. A commercial incentive for any flight changes how people act.
Using fork to get a "snapshot" of memory seems... like a roundabout way of doing things. The underlying memory mapping mechanism should expose a simple way of just doing it directly. (I still don't understand the point of fork, especially when most of the time exec is just gonna overwrite things anyways. And the impact fork has is to massively increase potentially used memory, leading to the dumb memory overcommit semantics and hack fixes like OOM killer.)
It's OK not to be OK
In general I would normally agree with this sentiment, but they're only looking at top tier conference venues. It's very difficult to pass lackluster work through these places, so it really isn't that terrible of a metric. I would be more interested to see what would happen if they only included double-blind conferences, as name recognition in peer review can help make the rich richer.

As another commenter said, there are few reliable signals that one could really use for this in general, let alone to get a current ranking. Citations are a fine metric but typically it will take a few years for those to really build up on a paper. I would be very interested to see them expand these rankings beyond theoretical CS and into the other disciplines... particularly robotics, where US News doesn't offer a ranking.

I'm sure the author is ingenuous, if that's a word. :) I think he simply does not understand the appeal of the product.

I use both Lyft and Airbnb and I generally know more about my Lyft driver after a ride to the airport than I know about my Airbnb host.
Hackathon Casualties
When I can't or don't want to drive, Lyft is definitely my go-to transportation option in my city (Cincinnati). The prices are lower. When it's "surge" time, Lyft's up-charges are less painful. The drivers are nicer. I only user Uber when I can't get a Lyft.
There are companies that help with this. Aptible, TrueVault, Accountable, etc. -- the market in healthcare is worth working with partners to get past the regulatory hurdles that various governing bodies impose on ingenuity. As someone about to go start practicing medicine with a background in computing and looking at how humans interact with machines, I hope there's devs out there in places like this who will take on the challenges and make my life easier and my patients' lives longer/better.

Incidentally, if you're worried about the appends' reallocations throwing off your linear time, take a look at Objects/listobject.c :

/* This over-allocates proportional to the list size, making room
* for additional growth. The over-allocation is mild, but is
* enough to give linear-time amortized behavior over a long
* sequence of appends() in the presence of a poorly-performing
* system realloc().
* The growth pattern is: 0, 4, 8, 16, 25, 35, 46, 58, 72, 88, ...
*/
new_allocated = (newsize >> 3) + (newsize < 9 ? 3 : 6);
When analyzing algorithms, I have used calculus as a shortcut to many calculations. I believe that learning calculus is not just about its direct applications. Calculus often comes up when just dealing with your set-up.

You might make a discrete model for a problem and end up using calculus for approximations, equivalent calculations, or reasoning.

This is not the right way to bid goodbye to a lot of open source code that will disappear from the world forever.

Perhaps Google could partner with Internet Archive to preserve this history before it is lost forever?
That's great, and for project like yours (Voxel Quest), it'll definitely help.

I'm wondering though, if the demo also uses the CPU for other things - physics, audio, collision, path-finding or some other form of ai, state machines, game script, game logic. My point is that 10x might be possible (on a 10 core cpu) if the cpu's are only used for graphics, but there are other things that come into play... But even then, even if only half the cpu's are used for graphics, it's still better.

The bigger question to me, is how would game developers on the PC market (OSX/Linux included) would scale their games? You would need different assets (level of detail? mip-mapped texture levels? meshes?) - but tuning this to work flawlessly on many different configurations is hard...

Especially if there are applications still running behind your back.

E.g. - you've allocated all cpu's for your job, all to be taken by some background application, often a browser, chat client, your bit-coin miner or who knows what else.
It's somewhat ironic that Lyft announced its largest funding round to date on the same day that a judge rejected the company's request to declare its drivers independent contractors.

If a jury decides that drivers are employees, transforming the U.S. personal transportation market is going to become a much more expensive proposition for Lyft's investors.

I'm almost certain that Scott would suggest his generation was weirder to the older one, than millennials are to theirs. What he's trying to capture here is that, on average the 20-40 demographic is engaging in an entirely different form of economic interaction than the 40-60, and 60-80 demographics.

I don't know if that's the case - I'd be interested in hearing if there is any difference in how the various age groups do, or do not use airbnb, uber, lft, etc....

My guess is that use of these services is much more closely correlated with income, than it is age.
What Is the Y Value for the Memory Pressure Graph in Apple Activity Monitor?
I too can read anyone like a book, and I'd never really thought about why before but my mum also had a temper and I grew up with 2 separate abusers and left home to a 3rd. I've never considered it a skill before, or indeed realised that it wasn't that common.

I actually find it debilitating at times, because it can come out in weird ways. I will sometimes fixate on situations or even individuals and feel vast amounts of pain for them, even carrying massive guilt for things I cannot fix. (I am seeing a counsellor.)
I'm not an academic, but I don't understand the point of ranking both by "1" and "1 + 1/2". 21 schools were ranked identically by each method. 18 were one rank different. At this point we seem to be straining at gnats. Was this really just to mess with Texas A&M?
Axing sets may be part dollars and cents, but it's also important to the field of play. It allows them to recover from unintended power creep ("Crap we accidentally made a combo way too powerful", think Psychatog or Urza's Saga) and it also makes it easier to balance the game. They have so many cards in circulation they could never playtest the whole thing.
First Extraterrestrial Hydrothermal System Found on Saturn's Moon Enceladus
This blog post is factually incorrect in the sense that it contradicts the current state-of-the-art in psychology research, which comes from the regression analysis of statistically-identifiable personality traits against actual career outcomes in repeated large-n survey research.

Specifically, empathy is associated with "agreeability" in the five-factor OCEAN model (the dominant scientific model of personality traits in psychology). In this model, agreeability has been repeatedly shown to correlate with worse career outcomes and lower professional satisfaction over time.

This is not to say that being an asshole is good, but if we are measuring career performance in terms of the traditional metrics that matter to most people (promotion and pay), the statistical reality is that high levels of empathy don't move the needle in the direction people conventionally assume they want.
I would think startups would be a little smarter than just doing the same thing in each geo. Surely fixed costs can be minimized. The warehousing infrastructure won't be that valuable if the company goes under.
When I was living in Cambodia, I heard someone talking about how you could buy citizenship there. I assumed that it would be involve bribing a government official, since that's the kind of place Cambodia is. But I found out that in fact, Cambodian nationality law explicitly says you can apply for citizenship after donating 1 billion riel (about $250 thousand) to the government. But you still have to pass a Cambodian language test (which I've heard you can bribe your way around anyway - total cost I've heard is about $500 thousand).

Unfortunately though, a Cambodian passport is almost worthless. You get visa-free entry to ASEAN (Southeast Asia) countries and that's about it. My daughter has Cambodian citizenship, but I never bothered to apply for a Cambodian passport for her, since her US passport is totally sufficient.

That deal on Cypriot citizenship seems like a pretty good deal though. An EU passport would be more valuble than just about anything else. I imagine it won't last though; I would bet the other EU members would try to stop it.

I really think all of these interfaces look entirely adequate. I can imagine being able to easily use all of them without much training. There's really no comparison to the stuff I was trying to use 5-10 years ago, which tended to the illogical and unusable.

I guess I have no taste? I'm glad I'm not an interior designer.
QCon London 2015: Microservices, from hype to trendsetting – Part 1
have you used Lyft? You don't talk to anyone until your car picks you up, same as Uber. If you want you can sit in the back seat and not talk at all.
I've seen this debate, that the other posters are having before.

1) Art is subjective.
Some people consider soup cans art.
Some other people consider pin up girls or even suicide girls art.Sexually charged pieces of art are fairly common.
Some people only consider pieces of art to be artwork, if the creator intended it to be art.

Essentially "art" means a bunch of things to different people. One person doesn't get to dictate an individuals values.
Also putting pretension aside, there is nothing wrong with just liking something.
I think adults should be free to make that distinction for themselves, and I don't expect them to defend it to me.
Grown-a adults are free to believe what they want.

2) The borderline between art and products can be thin.
Artists need to eat too. Sex sells period. Some things can be a product and a piece of art. This can lead to a lot of controversy as people are arguing different things.

3) Business doesn't care about art. They care about making money and not losing money. If someone finds something is offensive for what ever reason sexism,religion,explicit language,then take it down. You'll often see only very neutral business "art" for this reason. Business's don't want to be sued. There is a good parks and recreation episode about this.

I expect to be downvoted for this.
But the hawkeye initiative is stupid. I think Marvel should be allowed to do whatever it wants. I also think the customers should be allowed to buy whatever they want.
So women are in more suggestive poses . . , so what ?
Why do we need social awareness for works of fiction ?
And if we do why aren't there social awareness campaign against things like 50 shades of grey, twilight, or unrealistic romance novels.

The whole things screams of "Don't like what I don't like"
If women like guys who are like a half naked Christopher Hemsworths, let them.
If guys like women who are like half naked Scarlet Johanneson, let them.

Let people like whatever they want.
I don't like the hawkeye initiative passive aggressive policing of a product thru "social awareness". It's shaming people for liking what boobs ?

It sounds an awful lot like religious behavior, and screw that. I didn't let the church shame me for thinking women and men are equal, and I won't let feminists shame me for being hetero and like boobs.

Finally I am sick of seeing this stuff on Hacker News, I come here for the tech discussions, not art or social awareness.
> Empathy is behavior that only works if those around you are trustworthy.

I would argue that this isn't true, so long as you make decisions rationally and not emotionally.

Sharing an emotional state with someone can be a valuable tool in understanding them. Just don't let this shared emotional state cloud your decisions.
For people in this situation, there's a product called PCMover from Laplink which we've used successfully on a lot of migrations. It can do XP -> 7, with documents, settings, and installed software, usually with almost no trouble at all. It's well worth the 50 bucks or so.

Unfortunately, the product has a bug that completely kills software updates in Windows 8 systems, and even after we had purchased dozens of licenses of their software and gone to the trouble of narrowing down the scope of the bug to a "definitely a PCMover bug" range, their support personnel refused to look into it and pretty much told us to take or leave their product.

So we quit using it, since we're trying to get all of our XP-using customers to skip 7 and go directly to 8.

But yeah, it's a much bigger pain in the butt for a lot of people than a lot of people seem to realize.
This doesn't jive with my experience. Sure, some listings are just renting you a place and leaving you be. But I've booked non-private rooms in places and had very accommodating and social hosts.

> with a few banned cards that involved things like coin flips

Type 1 actually allows all the coin-flip cards; the banned cards are those that involve ante (because ante turns a MtG game into real-world gambling for objects of value) and one card that causes you to play a sub-game of magic (because it takes too much time, especially if repeated).
It's amazing how much we still have to learn about our own solar system, and staggering how long the research takes.

> Cassini is scheduled for three more encounters with Enceladus, including one final plunge through a plume, before it is sent to a fiery death in Saturn’s atmosphere to avoid crashing into and contaminating the ringed planet's icy moons.

Great that they're thinking in advance about this stuff. Would be a shame to contaminate our best chance of discovering microbial ET with spores from earth.
Yes, that's definitely the lesson, not, "make it trivial for your customers to replace your old product with your new product."
Why isn't wireless 'legit'? Monkeybrains is wiring up much of San Francisco with service that's ~300Mbps (6X Comcast's best) for $35/month. My T-Mobile LTE gets 20-45Mbps throughout my apartment. Yes, it's more expensive – as I'd mentioned, not yet cost-competitive for lots of HD video watching. But it's good for everything else, and getting better.

Almost everywhere has both cable and DSL options – that is, two providers, not "only" one. Some places have more than one cable option – including my previous SF address. And more wires can be run: for example Google Fiber, or even actual Ethernet cabling.

By all means, add new options to areas with limited choices! Use antitrust, or have localities take steps tuned to their needs. But forcing a unified, commodity-like national regulated-service model on the whole industry doesn't run any new wires or add any consumer options... it only adds constraints & compliance costs for potential new entrants.
This is a fantastic idea; I started to implement something like this about a year ago, but never got very far. This is the true way to implement password security; A generated token based on website, username, and a private key stored only in your head.
I had a lot of fun recently getting my feet wet with JIT using GNU lightning. I highly recommend to check it out because it's quite small and doesn't require an industrial strength toolchain like LLVM. All you need to get started is on one page: http://www.gnu.org/software/lightning/manual/lightning.html

In case you're curious, I built a working LISP compiler from it, but will have to refactor it soon; it has central flaws in handling (un)boxing. Anyway: https://github.com/mntmn/bomberjacket/blob/master/sledge/com...
Both are valuable. Plenty of people don't need the full power & debuggability of a difficult high-performance API- but plenty of people do, too.

Much like the simultaneous ubiquity of C/C++ and Python, in their respective spaces.
Highlights from the TC52 meeting on Feb 24, 2015
It seems the holy grail is almost always linear. Especially in interviews. Main thing to look for is if you find yourself doing something you have already done before.

Above that, just know the general idea behind different data structures. HashTables and binary trees will probably have you covered. More data structures can't hurt, though. Tries, BTrees, etc.

Though, I can't think of a single time I have used some of the more advanced items. Linear searches with sentinal values being my personal favorite optimization that I will likely never directly code.
