Which reviews? I have been using both 14.04 and 14.10 on my desktops without issues. Soon I'll be switching to 15.04.
Thanks, I will look into it. My design internally should allow for multiple protocols.
Even the T450 (upcoming 2015 model) is still bad. They learned almost nothing from their 2013 & 2014 failures: http://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/2q8peu/3rd_gen_x1_...

It seems all hope is lost with Lenovo ThinkPad. They simply don't understand what a keyboard layout means nor why it's important to group keys and create keys with different sizes. Also the slim keys are bad in many ways. The omission of the F-keys, the omission of the audio&mic-keys. ThinkPad was easy to open using just 2 screws. Replacing parts was easy. Forget that with their new consumer style T430+ series.

I personally give Lenovo one more chance for a "T460" in 2016, but I doubt it will resurface the T420 series style. I would support a kickstarter campaign that sole goal should be creating a premium business notebook "IBM ThinkPad style".
>Take eli_gottlieb, for example. Sure, he often voices quasi-Marxist views, but why do his posts on technical things fall down so rapidly? Even below heavily downvoted trolls? Why did his post in 'Who wants to be hired?' so heavily sink to the very bottom?

That happened?

Ok, look, I don't count it a good thing, but I'd been assuming it was an automatic mechanism that kicks in when you take too many downvotes to one post. And my views are outright Marxist, not quasi-Marxist, but on some level, figuring out how to speak clearly across the massive inferential gap of "everyone else thinks Elizabeth Warren is solidly leftist and hasn't read all the same background literature as me" is my problem.

And besides which, I did get a number of emails based on that "Who wants to be hired?" post, and based on the "Who's hiring?" post for April I responded to an ad that ended up finding me a very nice new job.

So, overall, thanks for being angry on my behalf, but HN is really here for the business and technical stuff, for which it works well for me, and it really is my job to make my own points clear in a discussion.
I agree, you need to develop it further, not just make an /r/iama clone with some popular design patterns applied to it.
This is an awesome idea! I had been thinking last week about how to build a distributed package manager, and a platform for running scripts attached to the package was an idea for later. So neat to see a distributed app platform, but odd how similar ideas seem to pop up at the same time.

Not really, models in NLP go beyond human performance in some tasks (not tasks as trivial as part-of-speech tagging).

I have a ten year formal training in music - piano (never went to college), I assumed we aren't really talking about composing Rachmaninoff-like pieces. You seem to be aiming at genius-level compositions, that is, currently, unrealistic, and I was surely not talking about that.

You're also going into philosophy of quality. What is quality?
Are you doubting the ability of the model trained on thousands of classical compositions to reproduce a fully structured classical piece that sounds well and has a few leitmotifs? It's very easy to constrain the model with a leitmotif positioned at several places and ask of it to find you the most probable sequence (to fill the blanks).
It's very easy to take a composition, decompose it into its constituent parts (chorus, verse, etc.) train this kind of sequence to a sequence model, and then do the same for the higher level stuff.

I mean, I agree with you that rule based systems wouldn't work. But statistical models could, if used in music with as much fervor as they are used in tasks in NLP, absolutely produce regular compositions that don't sound like you're randomly spitting out the notes.

Or are you aiming at profound genius compositions? Or maybe super-pop songs?
Then I agree, that would be an AI-complete problem, equivalent to machine translation and 300 page novel production.

It seems like you're referencing some sort of psychology study or finding about children's reactions to Shrek - I was unaware that there was any child-psychology-based controversy about its use of satire whatsoever!

Ask for $15/hr and then $55K/yr. I earned about that doing a co-op in the Midwest, age 20, with no experience. Computer programmers are almost never offered unpaid internships.

But overall these people seem sketchy. Go to your CS department and ask to be put in touch with some local employers who have offered internships at your university in the past.
In fact, there are tons, the difference is their sounds.
Wow, this is a great read; it also sums up about every company I've ever worked at with more than a couple hundred people. It's amazing how many people will pull in more time than absolutely necessary on things they don't care about, even at tech companies, just to "get ahead."
This looks like a nice side project.

I agree that one shouldn't copy just any binary on their server and run it. I'd like to help with this. Are you just thinking about providing SHA sums next to the binaries/zip releases on the download page? What kind of cryptographic signatures do you have in mind?

Regarding Journey:

You can always compile from source. Go makes that easy, dependencies on GitHub will be downloaded automatically.

If you trust my builds, the releases page on GitHub is served via HTTPS, so no one should be tinkering with the binary on the way from the server to you.
SymbolHound seems more geared at searching docs.
It's definitely worth looking into - TextSecure's Axolotl is best-in-class for dealing with text messaging or other scenarios with occasional one-shots.

If you want another, simpler transport that works better for more connected scenarios, like this one, ask trevp who did that: he has a very promising-looking one in the design phase.

If I can give any advice: security doesn't make a good afterthought, especially when encryption was the first word you mentioned. It's a foundational feature; treat it as one. Pick primitives that make the best, most solid foundations you can get, and do your best to make sure you can rely on them. As for the rest, extensibility needs careful thought: it can be easy to extend yourself into vulnerabilities.

Best of luck. You have an interesting project. I might keep an eye on it.
Considering how vaguely defined CSV is as a format, the challenge might have specified that a bit better. Fun nonetheless.

Ask HN: Putting myself through college by freelancing?
I'm an 18 year old high school student.

Since finishing Machine learning class on Coursera about a week ago I became really interested in Machine learning and AI.

I am hoping to get into college abroad because local colleges don't have really good computer science courses. Specifically, I am considering University of Edinburgh, because of their strong AI program.

Since my country is in EU tuition is free. However, living costs are pretty high (about $1100 per month). My family is poor and probably will not be able to support me financially. I've been wondering would it be possible to support myself through freelancing part time?

I've been doing web development for past few years and recently I've built a few medium sized web apps using Laravel. I've also played around building some Python scripts.

Could I cover those living costs with freelancing?

How much should I work per week, and will it be affect the balance between studying and working?
I enjoyed reading this article. Especially at the end. A 2015 programmers is a much different beast of a 1990 programmer.

Not better or worst, but because of how fast things move this days we must be "eclectic" regarding out tools, and shape-shifters from new frameworks that pop-out every week.

This is specially true in the JS world.
Those mechanics are way too subtle. Today, the player must be explicitly told how to overcome obstacles. Games have become mainstream and so did the target audience, this caused a push towards the lowest common denominator in game design.
Good point, I should probably look at the US as an amalgam of 50 "countries" rather than a direct comparison. The US seems to punch above its weight in thriving focal points though - the UK's economy is only 5x smaller but almost entirely focused towards one city.

The workshop is a place for people to share content with each other they made so all can enjoy it for free.

..someone from the steam forums I guess. So is that the official mission statement from Valve? If not, then why does this person think they get to decide what the mission statement of Steam Workshop is.

I think this is a great thing. From my understanding, some of these mods take a really long time to make. If they provide enjoyment for people, why not let them get paid.
Ah, well good luck! I look forward to reading your write up.

Back in university I lived in a large co-op house with 38 other people and it was the best living arrangement I could possibly hope for. I'd love to do it again as an adult (though perhaps with less people and more privacy), but unfortunately I just don't know that many people who would be up for it!
In 2004 I spent most of a year travelling around South and Central America. I met my wife on that trip (she was also travelling) and now we have two awesome children.

Travelling refreshes the mind. It breaks bad habits and it frees your soul. Sounds like mumbo jumbo I know but I can't recommend it enough.

Give yourself at least 3 months. Take eery opportunity and trust your gut. It can be dangerous out there if your mind isn't aware of what is going on around you. A bit of common sense and you're fine. Also get to meet the locals. Sticking around the hostels with other backpackers can drive you potty in the end.

Best thing I ever did. Finding contract work when I got back was easy due to great old contacts who hooked me up.

I wasn't too familiar with telehash until you mentioned it. I read the docs and it looks like it's a pretty complete framework whereas OTR is more of a handshake to establish a secure channel. If you're only using telehash to secure a channel it seems like overkill. If you use its peer resolution and asynchronous messaging features it seems pretty nice.

libotr is a very good implementation of OTR (in c) [1]. I don't think performance would be a big issue on modern hardware. OTR does offer future deniability in case one of the parties gets compromised. I didn't see the same guaranty in telehash (I might have missed it).

I think they are both fine platforms but I'm far from being an expert. For anyone who is interested in the documentation I was referring to: telehash [2] and OTR [3].

Thanks! Yes, this is great advice. security should not be an afterthought and it certainly has not been here. Also, I did not post this on HN, so those were not my words.

There are some aspects to security that I took that extend to the code. It is written using design by contract, where if a contract fails, the program quits immediately. Security should extend beyond the protocol.

As I mentioned previously, long term I won't be using a handrolled protocol, which has obvious problems. This software is alpha and I hope to migrate before 1.0
I don't see how a binary that you can't inspect is meaningfully less secure than source code that you don't inspect. I very much doubt most people vet, for example, the source code to Nginx before compiling and running it. If you're one of the few who does that, you still have that option here. I don't think this distribution model is giving up much.
Indeed. There are a large number of structures in San Francisco that wouldn't withstand an earthquake of magnitude 7. The city just started a public shaming campaign to try to force property owners to come up to code, and you see the notices everywhere.

We've been lucky, but I expect that "the big one", when it hits here, will cause a lot of deaths from building collapse in older structures. I'm not really sure that the building I live in could handle a magnitude 7 quake...

Perhaps because if the answers are online then students have to spend willpower to resist using them. I heard of a professor who let his students choose individually whether their class attendance would be mandatory or not, for the same reason.

That said, most likely it's just to enable homework grading.

The Bluray has a lengthy featurette regarding the problems they had filming Munchausen. It was a complete disaster behind the scenes for multiple reasons that weren't really Gilliam's fault -- other than the fact that he was pursuaded to film in Italy in the first place.
I used this article (and some other pieces) to help with some robotics research in Python a few months ago. Behavior trees are fantastic abstractions that definitely simplify FSM code, but I found that working within the constraints of decorators could really complicate behavior architectures that can instead be implemented more linearly. Specifically, I wanted to have an overall obstacle avoidance behavior separated from individual movements, but ended up implementing an obstacle avoidance function library totally separate from the BT.

It's not a question of surface area, but that the air you're paying to warm up will all go right to the ceiling. You can easily get temperature gradients of at least 5 C on a cold day with a two-story high open set up. That is where ceiling fans come in, though.
On the flip side, I traveled a lot more when I was younger than I do now, and I wish it was the other way around.

I didn't have the perspective to appreciate everything when I was younger, and a lot of it is sort of a blur. My experiences these days tend to come with a lot more appreciation and depth.

Grass is always greener, I guess.
One of the reasons I started playing with Ghost is because generating the site statically allows for a lot of performance on a $5 VPS with nothing special but a fat internet pipe. As blogs are typically not heavy on the "interaction" aspects of things, this works really well.

So consider this a vote for "static site support". If I were to express that as a requirement it would be something like "Site is served off a set of static pages that were generated on demand as the content on them or around them changed."

I've been a "digital nomad" for the last year. I left my full-time job in Australia & headed for Berlin & just picked up a few casual consulting gigs via Dribbble (I'm a designer).

I quickly realized that I really enjoy slow traveling - staying in places for 2-3 months & trying to keep a normal routine. I work full-time now, pretty crazy hours, but I generally move somewhere new every 3 months. I spend a few months of each year in SF & the rest in Europe. I'm heading from SF to Split, Croatia in 3 weeks for most of the summer.

As a final note, there are many different ways to travel. You never really understand how cheap it is until you actually do it. Before I left, everyone told me that I would need a liquid $50k to spend a year in Europe & I remember being worried that I only had about half that - very funny to me now. I've saved more traveling than what I have paying rent somewhere in Australia.

TIPS:
* Try & get paid an SFBA salary & live in cities that have a very low cost of living in comparison.
* Re trying to get a remote job - move to the job for 3 months first, work your ass off & prove your worth, THEN ask to move remote.
* Sell everything. Forget about clothes, shoes, books, records. If you can't pack light at first, believe me, you will learn on the road!

I'm surprised so many companies fail at this - companies should invest in their employees, unless they want their company to become a revolving door, in which case, I'll be sure to stay far away.

If you're not trying to develop employees and create a culture of making everyone better at their craft, you're not a manager I want anything to do with because you're likely to be a strong cause of failure.
The popularity of the opaque and difficult Dark Souls/Bloodborne games proves that there is space for games that challenge the player.
