Keep in mind that OS X is POSIX-compliant, but it's a customized BSD, not Linux. A lot of stuff works the same (and it'll compile most of your code without issue), and it's certainly a lot closer to what you're used to than a Win system (how that's POSIX compliant boggles me), but a lot of Linux-specific stuff isn't where you think it is.

You'll need to find alternatives to /sys and /proc. Services are managed with launchctl, which is kind of a pain. X Window support is there but clunky. And so on.

While you're living in a console, working on your own code, though, things are close enough to forget about most of the time.

Best of luck!
I prefer reddit because I can browse by topic. I don't like wading through the latest political news story, science of menstration, dolphin communication, etc that is on HN. HN often feels like r/technology combined with r/politics. That said the comments here tend to be higher quality but I still have to wade through a lot of noise.

Yes, SPARC and zSeries. Among architectures supported by recently released Debian, zSeries is the only architecture that defaults to BE. (SPARC support is dropped.)
Ask HN: Which online communities(besides HN) are you a part of?
Reddit in general is more consumer oriented and HN is more producer oriented, but /r/programming is the opposite. You won't see any cat pictures there. If you want to talk about coding, web development, and the topics surrounding it, you're better off in /r/programming than on HN. Cold hard technical discussion is a rare thing on HN. The HN audience seems to be mostly non technical people.

Hawking:humanity needs to live in space or die out, physicist warns via hologram
How to be right 90% of the time, and why I'd rather be wrong (2007)
The key is to be polite but assertive. If you yell from behind your door "Hell no PIG! You're never coming inside and it is my RIGHT to say no!!" then it may arouse suspicion. If instead you say " I'm sorry, I wasn't expecting company and my place is a mess. Lets talk outside instead." they will likely not think twice about it. If you treat a cop like the human they are they will probably be more trusting. Funny how that works...
Avoiding nulls wasn't the messed up part. Encoding UTF-16 surrogate pairs separately as pseudo-UTF-8 was the weird part. Some codepoints that would be 3 bytes in UTF-8 or 4 bytes in UTF-16 wind up as 6 bytes in Java's pseudo-UTF-8.

7 Scientific Reasons Music Is Fun
Diverging more, and obstensibly adding more value over the "baseline" node.js, gives the io.js committers more "leverage" in governance discussions. It also arguably reduces the chances of a successful reunification.

Still, it's a good thing overall. There's enough interest in Javascript that demand for a javascript application server isn't going away, and having a headline project that pushes the envelope is a way to keep innovation and interest in the ecosystem.
The media don't have "sovereignty". What they do is provide information to the public so that the public can exercise sovereignty. There's a reason that freedom of the press is part of the first amendment (in the USA).

Worrying, indeed. Support your local ACLU and EFF, etc.
I won't give you a technical reason, but rather respond to the second part about LE and sanity.

Actually LE is the natural order and the question is why anybody sane would prefer BE. The reason you think otherwise is because you view hexdumps the wrong way.

A hexdump shows hexadecimal bytes. Isolate one byte and number the bits -- 76543210, right to left. Number the nibbles -- 10, right to left. Now number the bytes -- 0123..., left to right?

Display your hexdumps with addresses increasing right to left and LE makes perfect sense. This is how numbers are written, so the convention should be followed when displaying numbers.

Every time a dead-lettering happens, RabbitMQ will do this [1]:

The dead-lettering process adds an array to the header of each dead-lettered message named x-death. This array contains an entry for each time the message was dead-lettered.

This table is never truncated. It exists in the AMQP frame and will grow indefinitely.

The AMQP spec mandates that clients negotiate a frame-max size per connection [2], and I believe RabbitMQ is in violation of the spec through this behaviour if the client specifies a non-zero value. (RabbitMQ even ignored this negotiation prior to 3.1, and there's a document [3] which indicates it ignores limits entirely.)

As a result, clients that follow frame-max strictly according to spec (such as amqplib for Node.js [4]) will refuse to handle violating frames, which is understandable given that clients also like to have predictable buffer allocation.

No doubt, Safari is tested fully. I was just curious why I would want to test Chrome on both a Mac and Windows for general web stuff; same with Firefox (since Safari can't be put on Windows).
The materials degrade and fail, and the design of the physical environment around the pedals makes it easy for OEM or aftermarket floor mats to create fatal conditions.

The physical properties of pedals are well-known. Material failure of a pedal in the 21st century is a complete fuckup. Floor mats are known quantities as well. Perhaps design elements beyond weakly anchored plastic hooks embedded in the rug would make it more difficult for a sliding piece of rug or rubber to kill the occupants of the car.

Well engineered products should work in the environment that they operate in. These cars didn't perform in a variety of typical conditions, putting human life at risk. The "obvious" workarounds presented by the engineers aren't things that drivers are trained to do and aren't obvious to drivers in emergency situations.

That pretty much defines failure in my mind.
Filed in April of 2010. Anyone got examples of prior art?
I really like this idea, but I think it's a shame they included Brainfuck. A deck of cards with programming snippets could be a great appropriate-for-all-settings way to promote interest in programming, but once you put Brainfuck on there (which aside from being crude is entirely impractical), the deck is only usable in certain circles. I can't use it with my young kids. I can't use it with more conservative friends.

It's like you took one card from Cards Against Humanity and mixed it into your Apples to Apples set (the original, family-friendly game on which Cards Against Humanity was modeled). Suddenly, you can only play Apples to Apples in situations in which you could also play Cards Against Humanity.

There's little to be gained from the inclusion of Brainfuck and a lot to be lost. If they wanted to include an esoteric language, there were plenty of others to pick from.

Casual pirates and cord cutters aren't the same. At all. I don't get how you can erase the moral line between freeloading and just not being a customer.

Car rental companies don't look at people who just break into cars and steal them and think 'hey look - setting aside the hardcore boosting crews, and focusing on just casual car thieves, there's clearly a market for people who just want the convenience of taking any car they walk past for free! We need to compete with that on convenience and price!'

There's simply no excuse for being a casual pirate. I'm sorry, but it's just not right or fair to access the work of a content owner through a channel they don't endorse. Just because they haven't figured out a way to give you access on terms they agree to doesn't give you the right to take access on your terms.

I can spend hours on Reddit while I only seem to spend a few minutes on HN. On Reddit I go from /r/programming to /r/diy to /r/art, besides just looking at the first page. On Hacker News I only look at the first page. Once I've gone through it, I'm off to Reddit. The first page doesn't seem like it changes that often, so I only check it once a day or so.

That said, the discussions on HN are usually about technical topics from technical people. It's far more intellectual than Reddit where a lot of the comments are puns, jokes, and other off-topic nonsense.
It is a huge problem here. I think the vast majority of people here on HN can recount a time when a post of theirs was downvoted into oblivion for being nothing worse than critical of a big corporation.
Walmart's Web Style Guide
Ask HN: How do you change misleading Knowledge Graph information with Google?
I work for a college who operates several campuses across the city. Each campus has been verified with Google My Business and lists the correct contact information for that given campus. Within the past two months, one of our satellite campuses has been the one appearing in the Knowledge Graph box instead of our main campus when searching for our college. This has negatively impacted our prospective students since when they search for our school, the map and phone number come up for our small satellite campus.

I've tried using the "feedback" link on the Knowledge Graph box and contacting Google My Business reps but to no avail. Can anybody shed light on how I can get the Knowledge Graph box information changed to point at our main campus? Thanks!

The problem you're up against is that every piece of evidence that displays that big-ag and big-pharma profits are more important than human life, and every piece of evidence that shows a conflict of interest, corruption or even just incompetence undermines any real credibility. To get there you have to not only be whiter than white, you've got to demonstrate beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are whiter than white.

I'm not saying GMOs are bad, I'm not advocating against them. I choose not to eat them because for all the evidence that suggests they're useful and good there is too much smoke for there not to be something amiss. Just like I don't believe in God. I'm not saying there is no God, I'm just saying that evidence hasn't yet convinced me there is one, equally it's not yet convinced me there isn't one. I believe in evolution, but that doesn't negate divine intervention.

You've found there is bacteria in the human digestive track that kills corn borer. Awesome. You're somehow convinced that genetically engineering this into corn is good. Fantastic. Your studies have shown no negative side effects... yet. When were these studies enacted and who were they paid for by? Who were they carried out by? Whi were they carried out on? Is there any conflict of interest there? Can you prove that your genetic modification to this corn or the Golden Rice will have no longer term health effects, either for the positive or negative? Not so much. There are many mutations and genetic defects that don't become evident for one or more generations further down the gene pool.

I'm not saying your argument is false, I'm not saying that Big-Ag and Big-Pharma are necessarily bad. The problem is that you're playing God and you're asking for evidence where it's documented and peer reviewed that it has caused adverse effect in humans... that cannot be swept under the rug, paid off, gagged or covered up. There is no evidence, because it appears that any such evidence has been er... removed from circulation. Again, not to say it has been removed from circulation, but appearance of underhandedness is usually accompanied by some level of actual underhandedness.

When Big-Ag and Big-Pharma start acting completely transparently and putting all their cards on the table, presenting all their findings fairly and without bias, with actual independent studies that show both positive and negative and letting the public make a truly informed decision, you're going to be up against the anti-GMO crowd. These people want answers, they want transparency and they want honesty. They don't want to have to dig and find flawed evidence, complacency, corruption, misdirection and conflicts of interest every time they dig a bit further.

Prove your honesty and prove your transparency and people will be more receptive to any evidence you have to present. Until then, people are going to remain skeptical and there's not an awful lot you're going to be able to do about that - except with a well engineered media campaign to brainwash the masses like you've been doing remarkably successfully with everything else.

Looks like a 6 week pitch to introduce SAP HANA
Anyone consuming this sort of information can keep a few simple principles in mind that will guide them through any hyperbolic thoughts:

1) There is only one source of "new" energy on the Earth: nuclear. Whether it's from a nuclear reactor, or the Sun's rays, that's the only way you get new energy.

2) All conventional sources of energy (petrol, natural gas, diesel, ethanol, etc) are extraction of previously stored energy. Fossil fuels are just a solar energy store on a geologic time scale.

3) Any time you hear about a process that involves creating fuel from lower energy-state molecules (molecules that react on their own), there must be another source of energy involved.

4) There is no such thing as 100% efficiency in transmission of energy, so all forms of energy extraction/conversion involve some loss of energy to the surrounding environment. This prevents any such systems (non-nuclear extraction/conversion) from being run in a feedback loop that provides a net positive energy output.

For example, the explanation of the process starts with:

"First, water heated up to form steam is broken down into hydrogen and oxygen by means of high-temperature electrolysis. This process, involving a temperature in excess of 800 degrees Celsius, is more efficient than conventional techniques because of heat recovery, for example".

Heating water past its boiling point requires energy. Electrolysis requires energy. Where does that energy come from?

The above question does not automatically make Audi's efforts a failure. One of the problems with green energy sources (solar, wind, geothermal, etc) is that they aren't terribly portable. Solar panels can produce enough energy to drive a car, but you'd need a panel array that is many times the surface area available on a typical passenger car; assuming you want to keep the same performance and amenities that we've come to expect. Instead, we store the energy in a short term storage mechanism and extract it as we drive.

The most popular solution to this problem so far has been to use a chemical battery. Lithium-ion batteries are the go-to energy store right now, but it's conceivable that they won't be forever.

The key metrics (some of them, anyway) for an energy store are:

* The energy density per volume and per mass.

* The rate of transfer in/out (how fast you can charge/discharge the battery).

* The efficiency in which you can transfer energy in and out of them.

* Self-discharge rage (how much energy the store loses when it is idle).

Diesel handily beats lithium-ion batteries by a very wide margin when it comes to energy density. Diesel is around 13,700 Wh/kg. A good Li-Ion battery comes in at around 150 Wh/kg. Li-Ion energy density is improving, but not at a rate that would surpass fossil fuels any time soon.

The problem with diesel is that you can't readily create diesel from other forms of energy efficiently. That's what Audi is working on here, and it's a pretty big deal.
Wirth's law is more true for commercial software where profit is the motive.

How I wish. Sure, for proprietary and commercial consumer-facing apps, it might be the case. There's a ton of proprietary/commercial development tools and infrastructure (hyper-optimized JVMs, k/kdb...) that are inverses of Wirth. FOSS has its opuses as well, but it's just as full of crap.

Amdahl's law only really makes sense in parallel computing.

Sure, but that doesn't mean one can just magic away blatant bottlenecks, and even if some speedup is possible, it does not retroactively make these decisions correct.
Excellent! I might start using it for some servers, however nginx is still the go-to server for high traffic cdn servers.
Gotcha. I was curious if I missed a nice-and-clean unlock screen solution last year :)

As for monetisation, I would perhaps AB test some of these:

* In-app products: buy new instruments, better sound packages etc.

* Native adverts: you might try to guess a song, and come up with a 'Sounds good? Get X from Y in iTunes', become Spotify affiliates or similar.

* You seem to have a good community with over 100K downloads and 450+ 5-stars, you might be able pull off a buy-us-a-coffee kind of donation. (Beware, GP alone doesn't support PayPal donations.)

If you take into account the fact that you can obtain the order-of-magnitude for most "human" numbers without actually focusing on them, then putting the most-significant digit first in the stream makes sense. 30 is easy to see, even if you look at the 3 you can at least tell there's two digits. 12,048 is pretty easy. Even 8,293,254 isn't that hard to order-of-magnitude from the near-fovea while you're focused on the 8. By the time you get into the larger numbers that are hard, well, they're hard under either order so it's a wash.
I am wondering if there are "Linux Insurgents", which are groups of people with a particular agenda that find small bits of data which can be made to serve their cause and expose them. Or maybe they just don't like DBus. Or maybe they just want to feel like they are having a larger debate.

If it is any consolation, while I worked at Sun in the kernel group and later, this sort of 'cherry pick a message to start a debate' technique was also present. Sometimes it is just someone who believes something is broken and they use the message to bolster their argument.
As far as I know, you could also release free mods. It wasn't a forced thing.

With this system, if a guy wanted to drop his full time job, and do modding full time he could if it was popular enough. Now, that would be more difficult. Resulting in less content.
We've had excellent mods for free for years. Absolutely no reason to start charging for them now after more than 20 years of modding.
