Congrats Andrea, keep on the great work!

If you'd like material for the case of fields of char 2 (aka binary fields) I have plenty of that and I'm happy to share.
Dr. Gal studied under Prof. Michael Franz as well, who in turn did his PhD studies under Niklaus Wirth.

If you haven't yet, you should read Franz' PhD thesis [1]. It was on load time code generation from what's effective a compressed representation of an ast that was designed for re-using generated code-segment by compying and template instantiation. So a JIT, but not generating from bytecode.

Consider it somewhat like inserting a serialization/deserialization step right before your code-generation step, sort of, with some added optimizations to cache re-usable fragments.

Oh, my overall cognition is fine, as far as I can internally assess, and no, I get nowhere near as much sleep as I should, which probably accounts for more than I grant. As to challenge - plenty of it.

It's really rather more associative fuckups, as someone else in the thread describes - even if I have the right word in my head, my hands may type something utterly different, which usually starts with the same letter and relates to what I was after, but differs.

As to memorisation - I'm talking having gone from being able to indefinitely retain 20+ digit strings on first sight to maybe half that, and often finding I've switched a digit.

As you say, sleep is probably a major component in this, and I can't recall sleeping more than a few consecutive hours in years - usually manage six hours of restless sleep before throwing the towel in and getting back to doing whatever it was I was doing when I nodded off. Can't bear to spend time just lying there. There's too much to do.
Hmm, the demo doesn't work for me, but this looks like a great idea. I'll agree with the other commenter, that I can't trust my browser as much as I can trust my OS, but I understand that this is just a proof of concept.

Perhaps. But that misses the largest issue with extraplanetary colonization: we don't have the technology to make a self-sustaining Martian colony at present. If the colony isn't self-sustaining, then all it means is that in the case of extinction-level disaster, some humans get to die a few years later.

Epiphany is being considered as the technology that comes "after the next". CPU is the default, then GPU, then "the others". Software is king and shared resource supercomputers have an incredibly long list of legacy software requirements. This is why we are focusing this effort on an application that is pretty dynamic at the moment, machine learning.
Copyright in its current form is ridiculous, I don't think anyone agrees with no copyright whatsoever. 10-25 years sounds more reasonable.

Ask HN: My tools broke, and I am broke, what now?
I am from Brazil, that is having a economic hard time right now, also I don't have a regular income for almost an year (and my last real job was many years ago).

I got some small freelancing work to do, I was going to deliver a milestone tomorrow, I was using my startup old workstation that was left on my house (after the startup ran out of rent money) to work on that, but the HDD failed about one hour and a half ago, and the diagnostic tools that come with OSX say that it is impossible to salvage.

I am broke, almost literally, in Brazil you cannot ask for bankruptcy as individual, if I could I would ask, I am in debt, have no income and I am struggling to pay rent and food.

And the work I had to do requires an OSX, I also own a laptop in its last throes (several parts of it already failed or are randomly working only sometimes) but it is one of those that came with a stupid bios locked to Windows 8, I tried very hard to install Linux on it and failed, I doubt I can install OSX (Hackintosh) on it.

Also my personal health is failing too and interfering with my work.

I am very, very unsure of what to do now... I feel like if I was cornered and physically threatened, if I fail to deliver tomorrow probably the contract will be cancelled (my health already me deliver some earlier milestones late and the client is already upset with me), but even if I DO deliver this milestone and the next ones, the payment won't be enough to repay my most urgent debts (like late rent payments) and replace the failing laptop, much less an OSX machine (beside being already expensive in US, in Brazil they are outrageously expensive, because of excessive taxation and currently unfavourable currency exchange rate)
What would happen if people started flooding ASCAP with these violation notices? Could we perhaps send a message over how ridiculously common it is to sing this song in public by overloading them with so much paperwork it ends up costing them more money than they receive in collecting royalties? Just a thought.
I know this is a Dell thread but for those interested in running Linux on a sweet ultrabook, check out the Asus UX305. I've been running Ubuntu 15.04 on it and it works beautifully, no special instructions required. Also only $800 - probably one of the best deals going in linux laptops these days.
I've run wordpress sites for more than a decade. I've never had an experience with opcode caching that wasn't unhappy.

I've used all of them. They all crash like a demolition derby in a brewery.

At one point I put Wordpress into a profiler and found that a only a few percent of total time was spent compiling PHP; most of the time spent was in waiting for MySQL and concatenating strings. So I just gave up on opcode caching.

The biggest improvements I got were:

* Whole page caching. In my case, WP-supercache spitting out gzip'd pages, with Nginx configured to find and serve those gzip'd pages.

* MySQL query caching.

* Moving MySQL into another server. This was a decent win when I was on spinning rust.

* SSDs. MySQL is a major chokepoint for Wordpress, because until recently its idea of a query plan was "let's join half the workloads on disk in gigantic join tables".

* Killing bad plugins. Even the "recent comments" plugin that ships with mainline is horrendous.
Yup, precisely this. I'm inclined to think it may be more sleep deprivation driven than anything else, as I find myself doing it intermittently - and the odd thing is I'll proof what I've written thrice and I'll still mis-read incorrect words as what I had intended rather than what I wrote.

Definitely didn't do this in the past, I find it disquieting, but it's hardly insurmountable!

Something I don't see talked about too much, but what I think could be the most exciting thing about the Firefox phone, is that a web app (hosted on the web) could have full access the the dialer, sms, camera, and all of a phones capabilities.

I think then you might see a whole range of independent homescreens and app suites developed and offer some well designed alternatives.

I'm a nexus 4 user and I really don't like all the basics. The dialer, contact list, messaging. I think they are confusing and difficult to navigate.

I start how freelancer few months ago(2), already take some jobs, is not late..and if you have several years of experience this is good.
Just a tip, learn some new which are few people making it, im Rails developer and have many people doing it but PHP is 100x more, so i recommend get experience in some language/framework ascending like elixir/phoenix, go language, cowboy, erlang,javascript(have tons of frameworks like ember), so learn some new and make many apps using this, you can take 4 years of experience in some months and put this is your description/CV of the job.

Good Luck.

> design for the sake of design, with little regard for functional implications

This is a fundamental misunderstanding. The minimalist aesthetic is underpinned by the principle that form follows function, and is absolutely opposed to ornament or visual additions. Aesthetic === functional in this worldview; it's not a separate thing which gets added in. (This is precisely why Ives and others eschewed skeumorphism.)
The best way to get a full featured anything is to start with a Minimum Viable Product and improve it by degrees.

It's much easier to start with a dependent colony and slowly solve the dependency problems until it is actually independent. The earlier you start, the earlier it becomes feature complete.

Absurd but True Science Lessons
After reading, I was not surprised to find that Ziegler only lasted at KFI until November 13, 2007. To be that tightly wound, all the time, would make such a public job difficult.

Since TFA has no photographs, I couldn't help but picture Ziegler and Bertolucci as the main photojournalist and the news producer from Nightcrawler.
One of my coworkers fleshed out an important and complex component that absolutely had to be logically correct, by using TLA+ modelling.

It was the first time he'd used TLA+ (or TLA) at all, and it took a bit of experimenting to get used to it, but he soon generated a solid logical model and exposed a number of fringe flaws in the original proposed solution.

From TLA+ model to completed Java application took very little time at all, the logic was all there already, it just needed fleshed out in the language. It was also easy to split the work out amongst multiple programmers. He's argued that the total time, including learning TLA+, took less time than writing the application from scratch in Java and discovering the bugs as they went along.

About the only thing he disliked with it was that almost all (if not all) the tooling around it require Eclipse, and he hates that IDE with an almost unholy passion :D

My understanding is that the motherboard does not permit it. From what I have read they are marking the initial XPS13 as "EARLY 2015" units -- with Windows 10 and Skylake around the corner you may see another major refresh later this year.

You didn't give enough information to answer.

Are you already an expert web developer? Are you a complete beginner? You sound like a complete beginner.

Try making a simple website and putting it on the Internet somewhere.

If you have no experience, it's going to be very hard to find clients. Maybe you should work a couple years as an employee somewhere first, to get experience?

You can try bidding for jobs on those elance/odesk websites, but those will be bottom feeder clients. Those will be the type of people who expect you to make a Facebook clone for $100.
XPS13 windows 8 with the QHD/ultra high res screen here -- it has issues scaling windows apps -- Adobe Photoshop CC included. The apps imho are the weak link as not all have been designed for the higher resolution display.

Sure, this will change in time for both OS but its quite annoying on a productivity machine.

Edit: With that said, the XPS13 with 256gb ssd, touch screen and 8gigs of ram is a very smooth running machine. Very happy with my purchase.

Hardware cost and availability is definitely a factor: even a Raspberry Pi is ridiculously expensive. Without disposable hardware to try things "just for fun" (and without fearing that, if you break it, it will take lots of time/money to get another one), the hacking mindset is much harder to develop.

One of the best (and sometimes only) way to obtain reasonably-priced hardware is to import things from DealExtreme and hope that customs won't block it. If all goes well, you just have a 30-day (at best) lead time between wanting to try something and actually being able to do it.
It's quite refreshing to see that it explicitly calls out data types not supported.
> JITs are pretty much a necessity for languages with dynamic dispatch, which are nearly impossible to optimize ahead-of-time,

Depends what you consider "nearly impossible". A lot of compilers for dynamic languages are just awful for no particularly good reason so it's often hard to assess what is slow because it is hard and what is slow because the implementation disregards the last 30 years of experience with compiling dynamic languages.

E.g. I'm working on an ahead-of-time Ruby compiler. While it will need a JIT component for cases where people call eval, and while Ruby is particularly nasty to compile for a variety of reasons, the method dispatch is easy to reduce to one indirection via a vtable (you just need to propagate method overrides down the class hierarchy and update the vtables, but updates to the methods is much rarer than cals so it's ok for it to be more expensive), equivalent to C++ virtual member functions (though C++ compilers have better hope of being able to optimize away the virtual call).

Despite the pathological cases possible because of the singly rooted object hierarchy, for most typical applications the wasted space in vtables (for method slots for methods that are unimplemented in a specific branch of the class hiearchy) is easily compensated for by e.g. needing less bookkeeping for methods that are known statically at compile time (which is the vast majority for most applications).

If you're willing to compile a fallback path and suitable guards, you can sometimes optimize away many indirections entirely and even inline code ahead of time even for languages like Ruby (incidentally for example of that you can look at the work Chris Seaton has done on a JRuby Truffle/Graal backend - while that does these optimizations at runtime, many of them are applicable ahead of time too, though the JIT can get the advantage of not having to generate code for fallback cases unless they're actually needed at runtime)

Note that I agree with you that JIT's have many advantages. At the same time, while I love the flexibility of dynamic languages, I prefer the smallest number of moving wheels possible in production environment. Spent too long doing devops.. Makes me lament the lack of attention to AOT/"as static as possible" compilers for dynamic languages.
Surprisingly it is very similar to Minecraft, even more advanced in some areas, for example more diverse lifeforms and gear. I think Minecraft is more interesting simply because it is in 3D and you can actually build real things in it, in contrast to 2D where you only get to do cross-sections.

I wonder if you could make a 2D procedurally-generated exploration game interesting.
I actually switched to Linux years ago, and have been using it exclusively since. Even my MacBook has Ubuntu on it, and, while there are some minor annoyances, my annoyances with OS X are less minor. All my immediate family runs Ubuntu too, and they are completely fine with it (they only need a browser and a file manager, anyway).

I think the OP knows that he isn't all that awesome at programming. As a friend, I don't go around pointing out to my friends weaknesses in their person they them selves are well aware of. In this situation the friend could have said something like "Oh, that's a good idea that you passed on that job, you are week in that area, and they were probably looking to hire you as a sacrificial lamb." A statement like that shows that a person is your real friend. They are acknowledging your weaknesses, but with the goal of helping you in the end of the day, not the company.

Interestingly, does anyone remember lionhearted's posts from so long ago, where he pondered over the question why patio11 makes so little money, and why he charges so little? And the community reacted very fiercely, saying that he should let patio11 be -- he's doing his thing, money doesn't matter. And now patio11 is the posterboy for "charge more". How things change! It's kind of fascinating.

My experience is the same as yours, except the opposite. I kept hearing how wonderful the Mac software world was, until I had to work on one for work. Everything was a lie and a lot of software was subpar to the Windows equivalent (Github app for instance, Finder is almost unusable, Eclipse is a memory hog and IntelliJ keeps crashing because it's not fully compatible with Apple's Java version). Just my experience.

"there was a lot of software that was vastly better than the equivalents on Windows."

The reverse is true as well.

"Examples include software by the OmniGroup and Panic"

Coda is so overrated IMO.

Even the feature screenshots on their website look like a lot of oldschool Mac software. There's nothing "best desktop software" about it. I'm genuinely curious what specifically you think it's good about it.

Is it how their window buttons are vertical "just because", spitting in the face of good UX?

Is it how they recommend you connect via FTP to a remote server as soon as you open the app to publish your files directly from your computer? Do you have any idea what a horrible practice that is?!

Oh and let's just put the browser in our app, I'm sure that is a genius move, nothing wrong with that! /s

Oh yeah, and Panic's SSL certificate expired, not very professional if you ask me.

Right... well...

TLDR my point is I don't believe you when you say Mac has better software on average and your examples don't convince me. I work on a Mac too. But hey, we all have preferences.
