You caught the subtlety that I should have emphasized more. Number 2 was the really difficult part. We had some hard-coded constants as others guessed, which also made this really hard, but just fixing that problem was wasn't enough.
There's an extensive literature on opportunity costs in economics, but you wouldn't know it from reading this article, even though that's basically what it's about. Discussions of programming methodology often seem to involve reinvention of the wheel. Has there been any work done to quantify these theories?
Maybe in that case you should use a single thread and avoid ipc altogether?

> Eventually we get to employ robots to do hard labor better than any human can for longer periods of time until we're paying fractions of a penny per hour in 'wages', initial cost and maintenance included. The ability to do this just wrecks any intuition we have about what it costs to produce things.

Sure, that may well happen. But "Bucky" wasn't talking about the distant future. He was saying that people shouldn't have to work anymore - in today's world - and that's just complete nonsense.
I had friends who were hit by people like that. They aren't very tech savvy and once they learned they got hit I did a free virus scan with Emisoft Emergency Kit to remove the Trojan keylogger and other stuff.

They call using Voice over IP software that gets a US number and displays on caller ID as XXX-XXX-XXXX and then a US State name instead of a company name or person name.

I wish India would crack down on these business because they sell the credit card data they get and then others use it and can ruin people's credit or drain their bank accounts.

They called me, and each time I answered with "That's impossible, I run Linux not Windows." and they hang up on me. I tell people to tell them that they run Linux, it seems to make them quit because it breaks the script they use.
Mind that Dante invented the language that italians speak. That is, he encoded and merged vulgar latin as had evolved in contact with the laguages of the northern invading tribes that overran the Roman Empire for the previous 750 years in successive waves. And his version became the new pidgin in which peoples from all the Italic peninsula could communicate with each other, as the Pontifical States adopted the language as official that made its establishement easier[1]. Each region had its own language and that situation remained until the late XIX Century.

[1] Don't be surprised. Take for example Urdu, the language spoken in Pakistan and large parts of Kashmir. It is an entirely artificial language, based on Pashto and Farsi if I recall correctly, that was imposed some 200 years ago by the British Raj <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urdu#Origin> as a political decision to submit the local population.
I think that interoperability might better stand if much more of the APIs were translated verbatim, and restricted in runtime on the devices... Though that would be only a technical work around.

That said, I think the argument is bullshit, as given conventions used in the language (and in similar language) most of the organizational structure for given APIs and libraries are what makes the most sense, and there are very much in fact a fairly limited number of means of expression that can be made in order to establish a platform with a familiar language/expression. If you compare say, the .Net environment, you will see it is very similar, with very similar structure... For a language whose implementation is very unique from Java, the structure, and call patterns for common methods are in fact similar.

Ask HN: Why would you name your company “Parse”, then have no REST docs for JS?
I know this isn't the place for this, but I have been up for 48 hours straight after scrapping a ton of builds. Parse (The facebook BAAS) does not seem to have any documentation on making a simple request to an endpoint.

It is further complicated by the face that with a generic name like "Parse", I get every thread talking about JSON data or REST API's.

The documentation has a curl request and python. They keep jamming their SDK down my throat. Every thread in their develper forum with similar questions end with, "no I didn't end up getting it".

I admit I am not a 10X engineer, but FFS have an example in JS for a REST API endpoint.

tl:dr
Parse is a fucking terrible name, for a pretty decent service. Maybe I will start a company that provides great documentation. I'll call it "Programming Documentation". I'm sure that will be fucking easy to google.
On the other hand, Polygon has been knocking it out of the park lately. Examples:

> Javascript and other Write Once, Run Anywhere approaches have always been shown to be flawed. They force the lowest common denominator.

That's nonsense. Javascript is certainly missing some features for mobile, but it's not because it is designed for "the lowest common denominator". It's because it's an open platform, and the standards committees and browser developers are really slow to keep up with all the devices that we have now.

Unity, on the other hand, works extremely well. Adobe AIR works well too. There are really awesome games made using both platforms, arguably the toughest kinds of applications to make "feel right". You can't just say the "Write Once, Run Anywhere" approaches are flawed when there are thousands of counter-examples on the app stores right now.
I had the opportunity to be on the advisory board of my local bank at a very young age (19-21). I'm in Canada, so we have less competition and we were the leading bank in my region (size ~$2billion).
You come to see at their problems with a new eye, but you do learn a lot and you change your mind quickly.
I thought it would be easy to change banking. Boy I was wrong.
People underestimate the complexity of banking.
I think one of the area where people overestimate their chances is on the consumer side.
Banks have a very good distribution network, good salespeople and they act as a platform with a network effect where the more you own products from a bank the less likely you are to switch.
Sure their products is shitty, but people don't really care about their money. Money is not sexy. If a bank is not going to make money with a good chunk of their customers, how will you make money ? Sure they have high infrastructure cost, but you still need to acquire that customer.

I'm still excited by some startups like Plaid, but on the consumer side i'm still somewhat skeptic of a lot of things I see.
I'm only a few chapters in and it's his first book in a long while that has captured my interest before page 300 or so.
When most people ask, "Who made this" they aren't looking for a character string that matches /[a-zA-Z_0-9]{3,12}/.

They're asking: what person or persons did this, what might I know them for, what do they look like, how popular are they, do they have a logo I might recognize? YouTube and Vimeo provide that information right next to the video, which is where people want it.

If a native app really is preferable, then I'm sure we'll see YouTube wind down their web interface once everybody stops using it. But my guess is that they'll still have an HTML version long after you and I are both in the ground.
Any reason your citation is from a wacky conspiracy site?
Generally speaking, liberterianism is fiscally conservative, socially liberal, in favor of limited government, limited intervention in individual's lives, pro small business, anti crony capitalism, and generally on the right side of most recent issues that have come up from bail outs to wars (overseas and on drugs).

... no welfare, no requirements for education; little regulation of industry - your only recourse is a post-hoc trip to the courts (hope you can afford that); maintaining network effects for the socially well-off; no attempts to give a hand up to the disadvantaged; wanting government services without having to pay for them; redefining words like 'violence' to mean almost anything; male-centric rhetoric; and should you suffer from an accident, libertarianism's response is: 'sucks to be you, hope you catch the attention of someone rich'...

This is just a counterpoint to your incredibly romantic view of libertarianism. You don't have to be a libertarian to want civil liberties - and the lack of colour in the (almost always male) faces of libertarians is pretty telling that it's not an ideology that serves everyone well.

I agree that having good test coverage across different levels/purposes makes sweeping changes far quicker, easier, and even feasible to consider doing.

Building and shipping the software is perhaps half the work - another half of the work is growing and maintaining the scaffolding to rapidly, automatically and reliably measure the properties of the software that you wish it to have.

It seems no-one here is arguing that YAGNI should be applied to justify not building automated tests.
What can be done is part of the machine (CPU cores, interrupts) are isolated as much as possible and the latency sensitive workload load is run on that part. In that case spinning the CPU and using something like the timestamp counter (rdtsc or rdtscp assembly instruction) for timing. That will waste power and will prevent the CPU cores from going to sleep but it is possible to achieve good latencies.

As for 50-80ns access, you are right. And I would guess this workload probably represents the best case scenario and is already in cache.
" The only way to know for sure that "this is how its going to turn out" is to actually be in the future."

But then what kind of "time resolution" do you use for "in the future"?

I mean, of course if you talk about weeks ahead, then yes, why should I plan for something that I may or may not need need in 4 weeks?

What is the cutoff then? Next week? Tomorrow? In an hour? 10 minutes?

After 34 years of experience, you have fine-tuned this. But there IS a line, right? Maybe not fixed, but there should be one, otherwise you won't do anything unless it's needed like right this nanosecond.

Reductio ad absurdum of course, but I'm curious how do you know where to draw the line?.
I got a free ticket to WWDC, but I can't go
Hi! I'm a 17 year old iOS developer and designer (just finished junior year of high school). In March of 2014, I started to learn making iOS apps (previously making Windows 8 apps) and have been learning as much as I could about it since then.

Last month, I decided to attempt to get a WWDC scholarship by creating an app about myself. I noticed they said they would be giving financial aid to certain situations, so I thought I wouldn't have to worry about paying for plane and hotel expenses. A couple weeks later and a lot of work, I finished the app and submitted it to the scholarship. A couple more weeks roll by, and I receive a scholarship from Apple!

Now that I've received a ticket to WWDC, I started asking Apple about the financial aid they said they were offering and explained my situation of how I wouldn't be able to go unless I got aid, and...

They said they couldn't help me out this time. The last chance I have left is looking for a sponsor(s) to help me pay for travel expenses to go to WWDC.

I was wondering if anyone on HN or any websites, companies, etc that would like to sponsor me so I can go to WWDC?

The cheapest ticket from Denver, Colorado to San Francisco, California is $333. The place to stay can range from $350 total (AirBnB) and $125 a night/$750 total (split hotel room with other WWDC scholarship winner). Also, my brother has to come with me since I am a minor. The total cost of the trip comes out to $1016-$1416

Thank you for reading this. If you would like to help out or sponsor me, you can reach me at aeip@live.com or just comment below :)

Sorry if this is OT, but didn't regalii go thru YC? IT doesn't have the flag.

At any rate, Regalii was one of the best companies in my round of Startup Chile. I saw their pitch and I really wanted to invest.

Of course they have these challenges, and with the current regulatory climate in the USA this is only going to get worse and worse over time-- imagine what will happen when they have to verify and report the identity of every recipient of their funds? I think thats not too far off.

IT will be hard to report he identity of Chileans or Argentinians or Uruguayans to the IRS because it will be hard to collect it in a way the IRS understands.

And then how many argentinians are going to want to give a US company enough info that the remittances (in US Dollars equivalents) can be reported to the argentinian government at some point down the line?

Moving money across borders is the number one business governments seem to want to destroy (Because of course all this money could be "Terrorism" or "drug" related.)

On several things he clearly is.

- On drug policy, he's against treating addicts like criminals. He's in favor of allowing states to legalize (that alone puts him in front of nearly all members of Congress).

- He's in favor of significantly reducing the incarceration rate in the US. He's in favor of felons re-acquiring voting rights.

- He's against minimum sentencing laws.

- He's against the police state, the militarization of police, and the surveillance state.

- He's against the vast government intrusion into personal lives, through the overly abundant creation of ridiculous laws and regulations.

- He's against the current system of civil asset forfeitures that we have, and its abuses.

I somewhat subscribe to the same theory, but it's augmented by the idea that there is stuff out there we just don't know about and never will.

Daniel Ellsberg (the leaker of the Pentagon Papers) described it perfectly when talking about how he briefed Henry Kissinger upon Kissinger's appointment as National Security Advisor under Nixon:

"First, you'll be exhilarated by some of this new information, and by having it all — so much! incredible! — suddenly available to you. But second, almost as fast, you will feel like a fool for having studied, written, talked about these subjects, criticized and analyzed decisions made by presidents for years without having known of the existence of all this information, which presidents and others had and you didn't, and which must have influenced their decisions in ways you couldn't even guess. In particular, you'll feel foolish for having literally rubbed shoulders for over a decade with some officials and consultants who did have access to all this information you didn't know about and didn't know they had, and you'll be stunned that they kept that secret from you so well."

> . Take for example Urdu, the language spoken in Pakistan and large parts of Kashmir. It is an entirely artificial language, based on Pashto and Farsi if I recall correctly, that was imposed some 200 years ago by the British Raj as a political decision to submit the local population.

To clarify: Urdu is primarily Hindi, Arabic, and some Farsi. I don't speak any of those languages, but from what I understand, those are the primary components. Pashto is a more minor one. which has had an influence on the language due to the large number of native Pashto speakers in Pakistan.

Also, most of what you said is correct, but to anyone reading this, that Wikipedia page is unfortunately rather misleading. It's not exactly wrong because Hindi itself is so heterogenous that it should honestly be considered multiple languages. But it says that Hindi and Urdu are mutually intelligible, which is misleading. Really, a more accurate statement would be that "some speakers who identify their language as Hindi are able to understand Urdu". Many Hindi speakers[0] would not be able to understand Urdu; many have difficulty even understanding other Hindi speakers.

For example, most of my family speaks fluent Hindi[1]. However, none of them can actually understand Urdu except the ones that also happen to speak Arabic (because they lived in Arabic-speaking countries for a few years). It's like how English speakers may be able to pick out some German words, but not actually understand the language when spoken, whereas learning Dutch might help them bridge the gap.

This is similar to the situation with Arabic, which we treat as a single language, but is actually a spectrum of many different languages that are partially (but not always completely) mutually intelligible. It's hard to explain this by analogy to English speakers, unfortunately, because English dialects are relatively homogeneous by comparison[2].

[0] and I'd be willing to venture most, though it depends very much on which regions and religions you survey

[1] Again, to be precise, this means that they use the name "Hindi" to refer to the language that they speak.

[2] which says more about what we classify as "English", which is a political decision rather than a linguistic one, which brings us back to the original point all over again.
Speaking of rap/hip hop I wasn't born in 1968 but I a Canadian kid was on a vacation in NY in 1977 but it was in August.

I thought it would have been interesting if I had been there in NY city in July 1977 when the big blackout occurred. Apparently looting of stereo equipment is what (maybe) spurred the new art form of hip hop sure it's debatable but it sounds cool. I'm not even a fan of rap or hip hop but it would have been fun to have been there for it.

It's also interesting that rap/hip hop was born about a month before Elvis died it's like to ages of music colliding one birth and one death.
> You better have serious throughput to justify that....

It is often about latency not just throughput. Although sometimes they go hand in hand. For example you can achieve pretty high throughput if you take the whole network stack outside the kernel and talk directly to the network card.

Various libertarian socialist and left-libertarian movements either reject private property entirely and advocate a common means of production owned by decentralized worker cooperatives, for gradual revolution through democratic worker-controlled labor unions, mutual credit banks that reject traditional conceptions of markets and are instead based on labor theory of value with shared credit pooling, so on and so forth. These would constitute aggression under some right-libertarian interpretations.

In certain right-libertarian anarcho-capitalist theories where private property becomes the ultimate foundation of individual sovereignty that trumps all other rights, one may end up in a situation where you have little social mobility from decisions made by adjacent property owners, despite being master of your own dominion.

I think youtube is on your side, as it's heavily biased toward random one offs video watching.

I'm always baffled by the suggestions when watching videos from some common series. There would be mostly accurate suggestions, and consistently two or three videos completely unrelated taken from my viewing history. For instance there would be 'Howto repair your dishwasher' in the middle of all the videos of a math channel.

I tend to massively subscribe to channels and watch in batches, so I have (and want to have) a very good idea of what's coming next in my queue.
