Yeah, this is definitely one of the better articles on practical real world SIMD programming I've seen. Recommended for anyone interested in optimising their code using SIMD, particularly on x86/x64.
Looks interesting, can you talk about how this compares to the edx platform? https://github.com/edx/edx-platform
You're going to have to provide proof for that assertion. You're also going to have to provide proof that images of the same quality are going to be produced.
Most likely. Balmer was known for his shenanigans.

You seem to pre-suppose that all-rights-reserverd copyright on a manual for a free software program is OK. I do not agree, mainly for the reasons outlined here:

C++ used for graphics also.
I have some theories.

1. Press releases are generally overblown or contain outright falsehoods. For a reputable outlet to pick one up, they have to do some research. I imagine the tech media is incapable or unwilling to do the research required to tell us why we should care about this particular press release.

2. It's hard to know whether a new algorithm is really going to make a difference in the real-world. A sample video can be optimized for the algorithm. So just announcing the algorithm isn't interesting. You'd need a claim like, "99% of people are unable to tell the difference between this 4GB copy of The Avengers vs this 1GB file." It needs to be more tangible.
No - on HN it should not be hard.

We may be smug about it and criticise his business model, saying "he should give his image for free and charge for making custom picture or work for the BBC or another imaginary plan based on whatever works in our field".

But that should not be difficult for us to understand the value and the work there is behind a single picture. That's too similar to making a small fortune writing code which is what most of us are doing here.
Too bad. Ignorance of the law is no excuse.

HTTP Nowhere has an option to redirect.

All those "rules", centrally stored. "HTTPS Everywhere tries each rule in those rulesets against the full URL. If the Regular Expression, or regexp, in one of those rules matches, HTTPS Everywhere rewrites the URL according the the to attribute of the rule."

Now there's an attack surface. If you can put a rewrite to a fake site into the EFF's database, what happens?

Scala gives you nice options around managing concurrency; it's explicit but not verbose, and you end up writing code that uses general techniques that apply to other cross-cutting concerns rather than being concurrency-specific. Another reply points out that the default pool is a Java fork-join pool - but it's a 1-liner to change that if you want.

(I have no connection with any selling of concurrency solutions; I use scala (including spark and scalaz-stream) professionally)
I don't understand the context. Is that published to give a general, and not completely accurate, picture of the law? Or is the DOJ actually saying they won't enforce 17 USC 506 a-1-b?

It's not a reflection of the actual law. Maybe it's a mistake. Even if it's an accurate reflection of DOJ policy, they can rewrite it whenever, and start enforcing the law as written... retroactively, even.

There've been many people in this thread suggesting that condoms ARE already free, if you go and seek them out. It is like saying food is free when you go out of your way to select places.
You'd have to know where to go and then be comfortable in grabbing a dozen free condoms there. Until you're out two weeks later. So a bi-weekly visit to your favorite free-condom location. Do you know anyone who actually does this? It makes for a great comedy sketch :)

Besides, I don't want to use condoms that came from a bowl at a public place. I remember the first time I bought a bunch of condoms at a young age, not only was it terribly embarrassing and expensive at that time (I wasn't working, try explaining to your parents you need money for sex), it wasn't fun hiding them from my parents either.

I imagine this is a bigger problem for women - imagine a mother finds a dozen condoms in her 15 year old's purse.
Trust No One.
I'm pretty sure if the government wanted me in jail, they could do so.

As the machine gears turns and laws are created as time moves forward, I don't see any other outcome then total lock down. All liberties and freedoms are gone.
It is worth noting that the author, Alex Wild, is also the mentor of the project you mention. He discussed [1] a day before the impact of the project on professional photographers.

When beginners start strutting around acting as if their "framework" or approach is better than the norm, the sceptic in me comes out to play. The likelihood of them actually having found a better way is pretty slim. Sure it happens but not everyday.
Don't statutory damages cover that?
Sure. For starters, Classmill is not self hosted or restricted to universities - anyone can create a class on Classmill.

Classmill also does not rely on content production or live streaming video like edx. You can create classes with existing resources: links, youtube videos, images, pdfs, ppts etc.

Strongly believe that for a vast majority of learning requirements, the content is already out there. It just requires someone who knows the subject (such as a teacher or expert) to curate the material and give students the confidence in consuming them.

Hence Classmill was born :)
For those who want to follow the course without access to the warzones (until the course is over), or just practice the material, you could play with some of the other warzones out there.

There is https://exploit-exercises.com/ and http://overthewire.org/wargames/, the former is somewhat more pedagogical, but both are really good.
All I'm reading in your comment is an entitlement to other people's work.
I'm not implementing SSL, I just use it. With MySQL you can just use it. With Redis you have to use VPN with all costs of VPN. Please calm down and stop forcing your preference of VPN as the only right way.
I don't see many comments that seem to understand what this is. It's part game, part art project. From the article:

> And soon, from the British art group Blast Theory, an entirely different approach: Karen, a mock life-coach app that develops boundary issues and leaves its users feeling distinctly uncomfortable.

It's almost like a milder, usable version of a Black Mirror episode. The lesson seems to be similar, though. It wants you to think about what you tell your devices and how they use that information.
Nice looking site! I worked on something similar a while ago, but it didn't look nearly as good as this.

The problem I faced was in attracting users without one key compelling subject area. Saying "this is a platform for every type of class" is awesome in theory, but it's hard to find people who are just browsing around for random classes.

I'd love to be able to browse at least one complete course without having to login, also.

On a sidenote, livereload is still linked in your javascripts, and is hitting localhost. You might also want to concatenate and minify the js.
> Since you can render the page 2-3x faster (numbers pulled out of donkey)

2-3x faster seems about right for 4 cores:

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTgzNDA

I think that was on 4 ARM cores/threads, so the increase in performance may be even bigger for 4 cores/8 thread chips.

From the PDF link it also seems that if the 4 cores work "at the same performance" level as 1 core, power consumption can drop down to 40% (page 23).

I was kind of shocked that the entire article doesn't mention that Japan has basically solved this problem. They have had 0.03 mm (that's .03 MM, not 3 mm) and more recently 0.02mm polyurethane condoms for quite some time. The only negative to them is that they have to be sold in different size ranges (Normal, Large, probably there's an XL) since they are not very stretchable. Also, being so insanely thin, it takes a fair bit of skill to apply one. They are expensive, but not as expensive as a disease.

They feel so close to nothing that someone unwilling to wear one with an unknown partner is shocking to me, yet even in Japan, condom use is extremely low.

On a side note, I'm surprised that so many people take their life in their hands to slightly improve the sensory feel of sex, and yet circumcision, which removes a huge percentage of the nerve endings in the area, remains popular in the US.
According to some tests it does help. Since the page can only "start rendering" after it finishes calculating layout so a parallel layout algorithm lets you start showing the page sooner, which may feel snappier. This is even if the page ends up taking the same amount of time to render in the end (current browsers already try to parallelize some stuff).
The tragedy of the commons is (among other things) a parable about market failure and inadequate property rights.
Sounds like one of those "20%" kind of project and Google GitHubers just happened to have the permission to release this project under google/ wow ...
If layout is going to be so parallelized does that mean we're going to need better asynchronous DOM APIs and possibly better Javascript threading support?
Ask HN: How AI will change human interest?
Today it is mainstream to warn the humankind of uncontrolled oncoming technological singularity, but let's imagine the world with the robots working only for human, not against. And this world is very likely to happen in 30-50-80 years.

Career/profession is a center of people's life for last centuries. People go to schools, universities, work. We have our private life, families and entertainment, but 50%+ of time is about work and any other activities that will be done by robots (i.e. cooking and so). The new world will leave just a few activities for human, a few professions. Maybe cinema, theater, music, maybe some art. It is just the matter of time when robots make better and more effective business decisions than consultants or managers. They will understand us better than we do, they will learn much faster.

Maybe it will be the time when the question will be not "human vs artificial intelligence?, maybe the main question will be "what is human?" It will become obvious that we live not to go to Mars (AI will progress in it faster), not to develop science or not to work for abstract results or money. Being a human is not working or thinking. It is about just being, not achieving anything, just being.

What do you think? How will AI change human, its interests?

do typical webpages need this level of performance for a satisfactory user experience?

It's needed because low-end phones have 8 slow cores instead of 2 fast cores.
Actually chrome always referred to the non-content parts of the UI. Or at least it already did back in the Mozilla Seamonkey days. Chrome the browser was named as such because it removed a lot of the chrome and focused mostly on the content.
Thanks vikp!

Yes - good point, I suspect we'll be forced into some sort of consolidation or focus to sustain user acquisition. Letting the user browse more of the site before signing up is something we're working on at the moment. Thanks for the note on lr, plenty of (premature) optimization left to do :)

It's interesting to see how much the FOSS developer community (or rather, the people in this thread who are complaining about this article as if it's part-and-parcel with supporting FOSS) has confused the idea that software should be libre with the idea that it should also be gratis. That's unfortunately not their last mistake, as it seems then also want to extend this to an idea that other copyrightable works should be gratis, too.

The Software Freedoms [0] don't mean you get to scarper off with other people's hard work. They mean that, once you have paid and received permission to use the work, you shouldn't be restricted in your use of the work.

Software is a thing that we use to get work done, a thing that doesn't necessarily work correctly or sufficiently or whatever other reason you might want to change it. We have a need to protect the rights of users because, without said rights, the user could potentially end up in a situation where their livelihood is significantly impacted by the failing software.

A work of art, on the other hand, is meant for consumption. You can't make a photo so integral to your workflow that replacing it with another photo could be detrimental to your self. Most programs are not reasonable substitutes for each other. Most photos of bumblebees are--more or less--perfectly acceptable substitutes, not because all photographers are equivalent and interchangeable, but because your need to have that photo is not more important than the photographer's need to eat.

The Software Freedoms are not about copyright. Copyright is just the mechanism through which the GPL operates, in an ideology that believes that software should not be copyrightable. It's the belief that these two things are so fundamentally different, that copyright is not the appropriate means to protect software developers, that led to the creation of the GPL. The GPL is nothing more than a hack on top of the copyright system to make copyright--for software--useless. It is not an overall indictment of copyright.

Ensuring that those APIs will exist and that other APIs don't block parallel layout is one of the goals of Servo, as a project. It's already informed several emerging standards.
make is a good idea gone bad. It's supposed to be dependency-based, but it has no mechanism for finding dependencies. It has to be told about them manually. So kludges have been written to find dependencies, but they have to overwrite makefiles. Its analysis of what has changed is purely based on time ordering, so it can get confused. This leads to too much "make clean". Although it wasn't intended as a macro processor, it's turned into one.

Then, of course, there's "./configure".

The alternatives tend to be bundled with some giant IDE, or are language-specific. The trend seems to be towards the latter; Go has "go", and rust has "cargo".
Not to mention they totally 'pirated' the UI of Spotify. Maybe someone should tell them interface designers are artists too?

I agree. If you get a woman pregnant and marry her, it's called fulfilling your responsibility as a parent. You don't like it? Don't become a parent in the first place.

I find it disgusting that the writer would describe the guy's situation as being "sucked into a trap" (implying Japanese women are just scheming to catch a man) or that she would be sympathetic to him for being dumped by a girlfriend who wanted a stable breadwinner for a husband. The writer already states that "many women drop out of [employment] when they get married and have children, whether they want to or not," so wanting a husband who can support them is simply sensible.
За что пацана заминусовали??
FWIW, I put cheating in quotes because it doesn't seem like cheating to me. It's only cheating the original specs of the machine. If the developers of actual cartridges were allowed to make use of that trick, why shouldn't modern day retroprogrammers have that option?

But if a retroprogrammer were to use a mapper to achieve a 1 meg ROM, modern hardware would make that a decision with very little negative consequences. A programmer at the time might have to live with a game that cost well over $100.

So cheating in quotes because people did it in their actual cartridges. Cheating without quotes would be something like breaking out of the emulator sandbox and embedding the Quake engine.
This grossly undersells and undersimplifies the value of NVMe, its wire protocol is fundamentally simplified and it features an unlimited number of queues of unlimited depth with individual interrupt (read: CPU core) routing per queue. SATA is nothing like that. Also, the term NVM has been in use since at least the 80s to refer to probably 50 different technologies by now.

It's not a marketing trick
On the subject of unofficial manuals and guides, people has been sued under copyright and trademark for writing and selling them (http://news.cnet.com/Warcraft-maker-sued-for-blocking-sales-...).

Since the title is "the GNU make book", a consumer could easily mistakes the book as made by the author of GNU make or/and published by the GNU project.

Edit: Missread the article. It was blizzard that got sued for filling the DMCA, not the other way around. A more relevant article is the Harry Potter Lexicon case where a guide to the harry potter works was deemed not protection by fair use.

Plus you'll in theory be more secure, depending on the type of dependency management in place. I think the same should be true even of interpreted language projects. Just ship it with a bower.json, etc. (For those who worry that future versions might break their project, that's an issue with your project, and you'd have the aforementioned support nightmare.)
We don't have a free tier, and we get a funny support request more often than I would have thought: people who don't want to cancel their account, but don't want to pay anymore. I wonder how often this actually works.

The people who need condoms the most, are the ones least likely to go looking. If a condom is not around, 'ah baby come on I'll just pull out.' And then when there's a baby on the way and they're both 16 or can't afford an abortion etc etc, oops. Now we have a teenage mother and a father who doesn't want to be one.

We can go around hand-waving and saying how irresponsible people are, or we can recognize how people are, were and will be and make sure they don't accidentally reproduce for no good reason.

We know how, we just need to stop expecting people to be other than they already are for a minute and start a world-wide free-condoms campaign. Where's Bill Gates, make it happen! :)

Because you know who's supporting that single mother and all the difficulty that ensues? You and I, with our tax dollars and otherwise.
I'm not defending Tidal, I personally think it's a cringe-worthy joke at best and I hope the worst for it.

It's the attitude that was on display regarding it though and it's the same attitude seen previously when Spotify was launched i.e. I want this for free, I believe I'm entitled to this for free and I will get it for free regardless of how you, the artist and distributor, feel about it.

Musicians, etc. produce products, as any other non-service based industry does, and nobody is entitled to those products for free...yet because these are digital products a large amount of people seem to think otherwise.

Being a native Greek speaker, I find "holacracy" (ολακρατία) at least weird; it sounds completely wrong. If I wanted to combine the two words I would automatically use "holocracy" (ολοκρατία). I can't think of any example where Greek uses the plural form of a word in combination with -kratia.
