32-bit address space, GUI, hi-rez screen, and good-enough games. In 1987 my choice was a Commodore 128 or an Atari ST -- I wanted 80 columns, modern graphics, and more memory and couldn't afford a PC or Mac (nor did I like the PC anyways). I was coming from a VIC-20. The ST fit the niche and lasted me until I went Linux on a 486 in 1992. The Amiga was another step up in the price tier, and less geared around productivity and more around entertainment.
I definitely support direct linking to things on the Web, but since O'Reilly probably meant for this to only be grabbed via an initial landing page, I figured I'd link to it too in case anyone wants some background separate to the PDF: http://www.oreilly.com/programming/free/software-architectur...
Curiosity Has Hit a Martian Mineral Jackpot
Now let's say you want to provide some sort of service that the Chinese government would frown upon. Would this not make you think twice about doing that? A lot of people would take an attack as a point of pride and be deliberately defiant, but a lot of other people would just see it as a big risk to be avoided.

Out of curiosity, who is using Mesos in production?

At GoGuardian, we've got ~10 offline workers, ~10 web services, and ~30 batch/cron jobs and we're starting to see pain in resource utilization. Is anyone running Mesos at a similar scale?
I am the author of the dead salmon study and even I am getting tired of reading about it in the popular press. The original intent was to provide a salient example as to why researchers should use proper statistics in their studies. In the six years since we originally published the paper the neuroimaging field has gotten much, much better at doing the right thing. Now, the salmon is getting to be a tired cliche used to highlight how fMRI is "flawed". Let it go...
I did start there actually. As much as I love Khan Academy there are lots of holes and the quality/thoroughness of video explanations really seem to drop off the further along you go.

To me they were most useful when I just needed a refresher on the precise operations to go through in order to solve a particular kind of problem, but already understood it. It's hard to beat a textbook for learning material that is completely new to me.
This is a good writeup, but is anyone else getting really sick of the term "silver bullet"? I have been seeing it everywhere since 2013, and the "there's no silver bullet!" truism is growing very trite very quickly.
Ah, those were the days. I learned Assembly on A500. You would just load an image into memory, tell the video card to point to that location and it got shown on the screen.

I recall writing a simple program to extract images from games. After reboot, the game graphics would remain in RAM. Using the program I would change the address with keyboard controls until I got something that looked like an image from game on my screen and then I would save it into a file.

And I got docs for programming it via a friend who had access to some BBS.

Kids these days don't know what they have.

There's some truth to this, but your tone makes it a little hard to spot.

I'm not sure that the article provides much support for the broad claim, implied by your comment, that government regulation is always a bad idea, or that the government should get out of the condom regulation business. I for one think it's a pretty good idea for a regulator to ensure that condoms (like other health-related products) perform up to some minimum standard. The social impact of sub-standard products is too significant to leave to the market and there is good reason to think that the market would not adequately communicate the signals that consumers need in order to make rational condom-purchasing decisions in the absence of regulation.

I agree with your narrower claim that the existing condom regulations seem to be badly in need of reform. But I'm not at all convinced that they are worse than having no regulations at all.
Easy there buddy... ;)
We are not talking about a huge inconvenience, but we are also not talking about a huge effect. If we want to have a significant impact we can either have almost everybody cut their usage in half, or have a few cut their usage by a few percent.

interesting read. The app-only model is indeed locking users into a den from where they is no escaping.

>>Totally agree with your statement regarding the HN pro-gov't bias, unfortunately. Such is life.

Really? Last time I checked, most HN users subscribed to the notion that the government is slow and inefficient and does not do as good of a job as private companies in most fields.

Libertarian viewpoints tend to be heavily downvoted though, and for good reason. There are some people whose love for private enterprise and the "invisible hand of the market" blinds them to reality.

Your analogy is off. BSD always had a Unix-like kernel. AngularJS 1.x doesn't have a virtual DOM. They chose a different architecture for AngularJS 2.x which means the previous architecture wasn't that good despite all the praise.

Badly handled... how? Truecrypt got audited, like so many open source projects say they want to get audited, by top-caliber vuln researchers, and they didn't have to pay a dime. Instead, people who cared about the audit footed the bill.

GNU make is one of the (many) things that I've meant to get a grasp on. I picked up an electronic copy of the book. Very nice! It's a lot more example-driven than the GNU Make Manual.
Agreed. It seems to me that the problem is that it is easy to get condoms for free/cheap in many places in western countries.

However, my experience living in Chile is that in countries that often need it more, they are much more expensive to get. In Chile, they were roughly twice as expensive as in my home country Belgium. Add in the big difference in wages and we're at approx. 4x difference. The argument that they are available for free is a joke, since it requires people to go to a doctor instead of simply a pharmacy.

I also believe that for many people, the difference between cheap and free is a big one.
Related to this is Lizard, a Kickstarter project that got funded last year, where one person is writing a new game for the NES. He's posted some development blogs as updates to the project, and it's fascinating reading about the design considerations he's taken:

I've personally only messed with the NES from an audio perspective, having spent a lot of time a few years back in FamiTracker [2] to write music for it. I always found it interesting that the Famicom had the ability for cartridges to include their own audio hardware in addition to the mapper, battery-RAM, etc. Like the mappers, the vast majority of these games that included expansion audio chips kept to a small-ish set of chips. Chiptune (especially Famicom chiptune, due to the time I spent tinkering with it) is a fascination of mine, so I could point out some samples for the various expansion audio chips if anyone would like.

Google had its own weather API? Well, I missed out.

I wonder where the data was coming from.
I used:

- magnetic contact sensor: http://www.amazon.com/Magnetic-Sensor-Window-Warning-Switch/...

- raspberry pi: http://www.raspberrypi.org/

Wired up all contact sensor and connect to gpio on pi. Use pi to detect circuit break and send messages or phone calls via google voice.
Indeed. When I did interviews (and I didn't do a ton, but I did enough) I noticed zero correlation between having a CS degree and being able to code worth a damn. I noticed only a moderate correlation between having a degree from a "good" school and coding ability, but nowhere near enough to warrant the overwhelming degree of credentialism that exists in the industry today.

On a similar note, a lot of the best coders I've known have had degrees in non-CS fields (such as physics) or no degree at all.
The New MacBook Giveaway from the Next Web DEALS
> Jim, an American in his late 20s, used to be a very passionate young man. He claimed he was a communist — a Stalinist, even. He would engage in endless political debates during smoking breaks and drinking sessions. He dreamed of graduate school, an academic career and, one day, even leading a riot. But instead, he got married to a Japanese girl and already had children by the time he graduated. She did not want to leave Japan and insisted he earn a stable income, so he ended up teaching English somewhere in the sticks, far from any big university. “It is only for the time being,” he insists, but it’s difficult to see how he will ever have the money or mobility to realize his dreams.

This doesn't seem like something that uniquely happens to western men in Japan. This seems like the sort of thing that happens to people in relationships the world over.
Unless you live in an awful place which doesn't allow handguns for self-defense, shotguns tend to be a pretty poor choice for home defense. Confined spaces make them unwieldy, and it's frighteningly easy for an adversary to grab it outside of your grip and use the bigger lever arm to twist it out of your hands, as I demonstrated a few years ago to a nephew who's bigger and much younger and more fit than I am. Normal self-defense handguns are much easier to retain, and not quite so overpowered.
True; I think it is reasonable project to take on if you are willing to staff developers... if you are trying to build a "bare metal" public cloud, having developers on staff is going to be a prerequisite for quite some time going forward.

As I read the article I was immediately turned off and my instincts about privacy kicked in. I must say after reading through it that I'm genuinely curious now. I'm not sure I'll rush out on 4/15 to get it but I will definitely follow the story for a while and see how this plays out.

Privacy concerns aside it seems like an interesting concept.

um, how will these apps work, without the internet?
We already had native applications. C64 applications. MS-DOS applications. Windows applications. Mac OS applications. Linux applications. Java applications.

The "no profit" statement made me curious. First link I found

If you have the material science worked out you're mass producing a few grams of latex, selling to non-price sensitive customers, and can even market it as an "entertainment product" as the article states.
Show HN: GIF Jockey – VJ app for iPad syncs any GIFs to any tempo
Pro-government bias in the community? I don't see it. In fact, I see the claims of private industry fixing everything being made on the daily due to HN's bias towards startups making a difference.

What I do see is HN not taking lightly claims that someone just makes out of hand without evidence as if they are obviously the truth, no further proof needed.

I dont think anyone would make the claim that any government is beyond reproach. If you have been paying attention to the recent snowden or schwartz or any of the recent police action related articles posted on here, you would see criticism of the government hitting very high levels of (well deserved) vitriol.
You are right, they could store their actual wallet addresses on their phone. But would that actually be a good idea?

I would sure hate to loose all my money because it rained hard while walking home. And all the other dangers that haunt phones.

A counter here of they should be backing up is unacceptable. Many people who are otherwise very knowledgeable don't make backups.

Sure, if they have all their money under a mattress then they are venerable to house fire, theft, and the like. But storing all their money on a cheaply made but affordable electronic device has the same problems, while opening up a ton more possibilities of chronic money loss.

Apps are essentially a new form of the website as we know it now.
Also paladares, where people run restaurants out of their homes in a similar fashion. Very neat way to experience the culture!

Interestingly in Cuba it is illegal to provide free sleeping accommodations. CouchSurfing and the like are wholly illegal there so casa particulares are the only option for homestay.

Hi everyone!

I'm submitting my project to hear from you and see what you think about it. We've developed it in Madrid (Spain) and I wanted to tested outside our city.

1) Write whatever you feel, either if you think is great or a piece of junk

2) What do you think about the texts? Are clear enough?

3) Do you feel the way startup communities socialize can be extrapolated to other sectors? (investment banking, consultancy...)

4) Suggestions, improvements, dreams, unicorns...all are welcome

This job has been made with a lot of coffee, patience, Django, Jquery, CSS and users complains

Many thanks!

I think the implication was an infinite amount of those 1Gb chunks -- IE: they can grow the infrastructure as fast are you can use it.

It is almost assuredly a lie (as someone who is working on a project scaling to PBs -- I pressed a lot of vendors on "unlimited" or "infinite" and most said they simply couldn't scale to X).

I think a lot of us thought the same thing when AOL, CompuServe and Prodigy brought us into their walled gardens. Things are cyclical. If you're on the upswing of the cycle, it can look like you're going to go up forever. If you step back and watch the ebb and flow of the cycle, though, you get a much clearer picture of where things are headed in the long run.
I understand, but I think medical technology is inevitably moving in the direction of some degree of consistent self-testing and monitoring, and I expect small biopsies of suspicious masses will eventually be implemented in a way that causes almost no structural changes.

"In the game itself, a female Tourist comes into the dungeon, finds a shiny artifact silver saber (Grayswandir) on the stairs she entered by (probably the most unlikely thing to manipulate in the run), picks it up (the default options pick up all items you come across), takes damage from touching the artifact (a 1 in 4 chance for an unintelligent crossaligned artifact like the lawful Grayswandir for a neutral Tourist; there are no intelligent artifacts capable of spawning there), and dies from the damage (around a 52% chance for a starting Tourist due to their low starting hitpoints, much lower or even zero for other characters)."

Will there be an API to create courses?
Oh man. This course brings back so many memories of suffering through this material. But I can't emphasize how important this stuff is to know if you want to know anything significant in Computer Science.

What helped me ace the the exam was doing a hundreds of problems. I couldn't answer them most of the time, so I'd need an answer key nearby to get unstuck.

Drill, drill, drill. Just like you'd expect to drill for calculus, you can drill for this class.

What I found helpful was Rosen's "Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications". The material wasn't the best, but the problems are excellent. You can buy an older edition of the book and its solution manual for next to nothing on used book sites like abebooks.com
Both the article and Wikipedia mention two facts:

(1) The process is guaranteed to terminate given that the initial configuration was finite.

(2) Moreover, although there will often be many possible choices for the order in which to topple vertices, the final configuration does not depend on the chosen order.

Are there proofs of these facts, or are they just assertions based on numerical experiments?

Red Hat has been going strong for 22 years and they had an IPO in 1999, then managed to survive the dot com crash. Their stock is doing pretty well. Canonical is doing okay with Ubuntu, despite the product being given away. Sourcefire is doing well, even though Snort is free and open source. Mozilla is still trucking along last I heard.

So you can argue that it's unsustainable, in the way that you can argue that the moon is made of cheese. It's just not true.

Besides, FoundationDB wasn't open source, was it? It was just free of charge, which isn't a business model at all.

Yes they are. Your complaints in your article hardly signal the "end of the Internet".
If you just power down by running the i2c slave power through a FET, either the i2c-slave might pull down the i2c lines in an uncontrolled fashion.. or the i2c-slave might still be powered through the i2c SDA/SCL pullups.

So if you really want to decouple a i2c slave for the purpose of resetting it, also run the i2c lines through a CMOS switch, which of course will complicate this even further. Then better don't use the buggy i2c device at all.
