Next time I suggest hiking up Fern Dell to The Observatory. Much nicer, and also a big gathering venue. Then maybe hike back down to Home on Hillhurst for some serious grub.

I believe a 3-mile walk (about an hour), one way, is considered long in any city. The round trip takes about 1/4 of a standard work day. And in 90 degree heat...well, if you want to enjoy the walk around the reservoir, maybe your host was on the right track.

I reckon the noses in the examole images are on the wrong side. The images are cross-eyed, e.g. the left image is for the right eye. The nose on the left image should therefore be on the left, and vice-versa for the other eye.
You can test that by crossing your eyes so the images match and try focusing (the first try takes a while). If you see a stereoscopic image, the source is cross-eyed. If it were not, The depths in the image would look "weird", because they're inside-out.
@diamondman responded to this in another thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/338t25/the_lack...

"I actually want to hook OpenOCD into my Daemon to bring some sanity to how it manages devices. Several of my IRC friends prefer using closed source tools to open OCD calling open Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, frustrated the license is so strict (mine will be LGPL), and annoyed that everything has to be exhaustively specified in TCL files for it to do ANYTHING."

The TL;DR is OpenOCD's driver model itself is fixed/limited/standardized to a degree which prevented him from, in many cases, optimizing underlying controllers (or getting them to work at all -- e.g. OpenJTag, I believe). Also, see licensing disagreements above + unreasonable configuration requirements outlined in @diamondman's answer above.
PG thinks downvoting out of disagreement is fine.

Ask HN: Developer looking for career advice
I am at a cross-road in terms of my career and I am looking for some advice.

I am an unemployed, single, soon to be 30 male Indian software developer based in Dubai with 4 years experience in ASP.net C# and decided to move towards Python(basically, wanted to move to an open source environment). Prior to that I worked for 1 year as a Data Analyst for a market research company and did odd IT support jobs during collage days. I also worked as a site coordinator for construction company for a total 3 years.

The jobs I get are in C# and and the pay is very low. Of the 4 Python openings I could find in the last year, everyone wanted and expert with 3 years experience. I tried my luck in India but all I ending up getting more C# openings.

My problem from what I understand, I am looking for a job in a language other than C#, be it Java or Python or Scala or Ruby. But all the openings I find need experts with 3-4 years experience or Freshers. I was surprised to learn that the definition of fresher is someone who is graduated within year.

Now for my cross-roads, I have a visit visa to US. Will I able to find job in US as I am hoping that are a lot more companies there and I am hoping the large number of companies will help my odds. Will I be able to receive a work permit if I find a job? Of all the states in US, where do I start from? I am planning to apply for a Canadian visit visa to just increase my odds.

I am looking for some data mining / analysis / big data type of job. Of all the projects I have done so far the one I enjoyed the most was the one I did as a Data Analyst pulling together 15 sheets of excel data with over 300 rows each into an Access database. Normalising the data and with some SQL magic, preparing a report based on that data, telling its story. I am have also worked as a Developer on getting data from Twitter's direct API and the API via Datasift using MSMQ and storing it in Mongo DB for further analysis.
They are not cross-eyed.
I think the idea is that the lower n-1 rows each have height (n-1)ε (by spreading them out horizontally), and at the top there's a big triangle with side length 1+(n-1)ε
You mention a golden hat, and people respond with:

Very early on, people experimented heavily with non-gradient based optimization (genetic algorithms and the like) to optimize neural networks, but the results were rather poor.

For very large parameter spaces, gradient based optimization is really the only game in town. There's also lots of clever tricks (gradient clipping, momentum, adagrad, etc) that are involved in optimizing the convergence.

To not experience any VR sickness with the state of today's technology, you must either be using exclusively the tame applications of the technology -- such as garden walk, home tour, etc, and not trying out any FPS games like TF2 or something -- or you have something biologically off about your linkage between your natural balance sensors and how your brain tries to correlate them with what your eyes see.

Either way, that's good for you, embrace the future more easily than the rest of us :)

I like the concrete river. Since there's little water most of the time, it looks better than muddy dirt. It's also useful for film production. It's there for heavy-rain emergencies, on the rare occasions that LA has to dispose of a lot of water all at once. Does that job fine.
The real problem with their plan, it is heavy on developing the central city, and light on developing The Valley. But most of Los Angeles' tax revenue comes from The Valley. It has only been about 12 years since the last time The Valley threatened to secede. If this plan goes forward, they won't be threatening next time.
This is profoundly ironic.

Every excuse that you have made for not automating testing I have heard before ("mocking is hard. let's go shopping"). Most commonly, however, these excuses come from the pits of unprofessional software engineering, though - the "CRUD bubble" as you put it.

I find it pretty funny that you think "customers who don't know what they want" is a problem that is unique to trading. Or poorly/wrongly documented APIs.
Could it be connected to the just world fallacy? Many if not most of our stories - from the very ancient to whatever it is on TV right now - follow some sort of "rule of conservation of fortune"[0], i.e. you can't have any good things happen to you without at least an equal and opposite amount of misfortune that will cancel-out the gift. You can't just go out there, stumble upon wealth and long life, and remain a good and happy person (unless your life before that was so miserable that this is a perfect compensation).

And that, I guess, is a primary difference between stories and real life - in the latter you can become better-off just like that, with no strings attached.

> have a sane UI for the rest

If any solution to this mess exists, it is going to require this UI. A fundamental problem with PKI is the trust decisions are not being made by the people that rely on that trust for protection.

What we need is pluggable trust, where it is easy indicate that I trust the shared-by-hand-only cert a friend made for chats between a few friends, a different cert for communications with my bank that I got a copy of by walking into a local branch, and some well-known CA for everything else. This is not "web of trust", though the concepts may overlap; this is about having a easy way to plug in whatever trust model you care to use and allowing different trust models for different endpoints.

'get to the level' of ISE... I disagree. I do not want to build an IDE. I want an open toolchain, the thing that the ISE interface calls. There is some math in there that takes certain skills to implement, but I know several people who could do it if they had the layout of the chips.
MAYBE the reason there are no open toolchains 'on the level' of ISE and competitors is not because Xilinx has some amazing secret sauce and is instead because the whole industry is caustically secretive and horribly anti competition.

I noticed that they use a 3 tier system. But even SHA-1 encryption, I wanted to talk about how it compares to the use of RC4 on AES. I am still learning about the effectual uses of encryption but it would seem to me that being able to use modulo as you swap indeces throughout the hash would enable more coerce authentication if not for the sole reason that it would be difficult to find out the derivative of both of the numbers that gave modulo. VS AES whose algorithm uses a reverse mapping of the hash in order to equate the distance from left to right between the indeces.It is said that RC$ is less secure as a method because of it is more prone to WEP attacks due to its inability to factorialize an instance of teh hash suring the scheduling phase, while it only allows for a 64 bit size whereas AES is more sutiable for 256 bit. It's adavtnage lies in large network systems but would be suitable for API distributions. In effect its PRG would be effective in taking a modulo variable being parsed as K[] progresses through the list in a function that combines it along wth the inverse natural e in to create an limit as protection from FMS attacks even at a byte level. Thanks for letting me comment and learn.
I particularly like how he wire-wraps his own transformer. Actually, goes even further - builds his own 10 kVa wirewrapping machine, because the old one that his friend gave him as a present wasn't large enough.

I think it says something about the guy (and his friends) that his friends give him transformer wire-wrapping machines as presents.
I appreciate your pragmatism when looking at the current situation, and i'm sorry for not understanding your divergence of opinion with formulaT. I still think your analysis is incorrect in many ways :

1/ you complete ignore the fact that, once again zionist didn't invade militarely any land, until the second part of the XXth century after wars that they never wanted. You depict the process of building israel as an intentionnal violent process which it never has been. You'll probably call them utopists or naiv people, and that's a fair thing to say ( although many of them were simply hopeless), but at least you should admit that it is a very different process from a military invasion.

2/ then you seem to forget that until 1945, the immigration of jews on that land was absolutely controlled by the ruling empire ( be it the ottomn empire, then the british). They were not all allowed to come ( tragically, for those who ended up exterminated by the nazis).

2.5/ you call this process illegitimate. But as i've shown, this was a controlled process by ruling empire. Unless you think the ottoman empire , then the british empire were illegitimate, because they weren't democratically elected by the local people ( which have never been ruled by a local organization). But that's a very anachronic judgment. You also compare it to mexican immigrant building a nation inside the US. But zionism wasn't first about building a nation, it was about owning a land that would be used for jews as a safehaven. Then, once it was clear that the british colonial empire would fall or could leave, did the project of having a true nation was put in place. But never was the state of israel proclaimed until no other organization ruled the land.

3/ finally, you dismiss the importance of the historical relation between the jews and the land, as something of no importance. That is something completely subjectiv. It may have no importance to you, or to the local arabs that didn't want jews as neighbours but as others have pointed out it is the major difference for jews. At least you should take this part of the equation into account.

probably naive, but still honest idea here: what about a nationwide system to capture rain/snow and pipe it around where needed? A smart grid but for water. Rain/snow capture on every rooftop perhaps? It can be pumped into natural aquifers and existing artificial lakes all over the country. I couldn't help but think, as a California resident, that there should be some way to ship all that snow that was pouring on the east coast this past winter to where it was needed instead.

This is an interesting story. An unfortunate end.
Most of these things sound like short term issues that get resolved as the tools are made. Alternately Xilinx could have just put the docs out there and said they only support ISE. That way if an open source developer makes a tool they have no responsibility, but can reconsider in a few years in case it gets wide acceptance.
I am not a market strategist, but supporting everyone's custom tool sounds like a quick way to waste money and the wrong way to try and open source something. Similar to respecting every coupon people bring in, even hand written ones.

Choose a job you love and you will find reasons to hate it.

This "work for fun, not money" mantra is only promoted by businesses and art people that can make a living. For everybody else, it's a nightmare. Working for fun is still working. And at some point you're going to get tired. Your boss is the only one who profits from your passion. And you get burned out without an escape route.

Keep your passions to yourself. Work a job you hate. This is the only way to lead a healthy and successful life.

http://techcrunch.com/2013/12/12/gmail-open-rates/

"[...] Google spokesperson I emailed said that’s not entirely correct. (The spokesperson declined to be quoted.) Instead, they said marketers who track open rates through images will still be able to do so — indeed, they suggested that the data might be more accurate now since open rates will count users who read the emails but don’t load the images."

Sounds like Google made sure tracking works even when users attempt to evade it.

But another quote in the same article still talks about pixels:

"MailChimp can still detect the first request for the open-tracking pixel."

They're not cross-eyed. You can view them as intended by focusing beyond the plane of the monitor, like a "magic eye" picture.
Somewhat related: http://mathoverflow.net/questions/7330/which-math-paper-maxi...
We could make it more acceptable to be black.
When I tested it out, I got the proper sense of depth perception when I looked at it correctly (i.e., looking through the plane of the monitor, with left image for left eye) and got no sense of depth perception when looking cross-eyed (i.e., left image for right eye). It's temping to think you're seeing depth as soon as the two images "snap together" when you're cross-eyed, but when I actually consciously checked I noticed that the images in fact looked flat (except for the nose).

As far as why it looked flat rather than inside out, I can only guess that that depth info conflicted with the other depth information you get from vision (parallax, known relative object sizes, perspective lines) and my brain ignored it.

EDIT: Actually, after trying the second view (the one with hands, not the roller coaster) cross-eyed, I saw the inside-out depth. It's most noticeable looking out the window.

I would say that we are moving similarly, and I like the way Benji Weber put it:

- From continuous integration to continuous deployment

- To project ownership (although there is some resistance here on the part of some software devs, who don't feel it's their responsibility)

- Monitoring first: we have a strong desire to increase this but we're a bit at a loss as to what a good light-weight solution is here

The only exception is mob programming. Instead, we still have developers code on their own, and we switch to pair programming when troubleshooting a tricky issue.

Ask HN: Can We Identify Patterns in Source Code?
I am a new to Artificial Intelligence and was studying how convolutional neural networks are used for image recognition. Can a similar technique be employed to identify patterns in source code. If yes, we can use such a technique for suggesting the code snippets from the existing code. Now given the amount of open source code we have it would be fair to assume that we can find patterns in code. I understand the complexity of such a system would be huge but I just want to understand if its possible from an AI perspective.

In Dr. Dobb's last year, Dave Thomas, one of the Pragmatic Progs and one of the original signers of the Agile Manifesto, railed against what Agile became[1] "Agile got immediately productized in many different ways. The whole point, to my mind, of the Agile Manifesto is that it's a set of personal practices that may scale to team level. You do not need a consultant to show you how to do that. It may help to have someone facilitate, but you do not need a consultant. And yet immediately what happened was that everyone and their dog hung out an Agile shingle and the whole thing turned into a branding exercise."
