10 Reasons I Started Using Google Photos This Week
I'm actually surprised their lead is that small - maybe transit directions will stop people using Google maps on iOS though. I wonder if that's the preinstalled app the most people would replace if they could though.
So Islam commands them have to rape Western woman? Most Muslim scholars would disagree.

I actually agree that Muslim immigrants are more prone to commit this kind of crime. That doesn't mean it's an Islam thing. It also doesn't mean innocent Muslims can be treated any worse because some of them commit crimes. Trying to solve this problem by blaming their religion is not going to lead anywhere good.
True.

I worked for a military contactor and had to deal with what RAF 'engineers' did to our radio kit.

My current main scope, a Tek 453, was ex military and it had some after market repairs done by a monkey with soldering kit. Took me a couple of days to clean it up properly.
Probably not a good idea to give feedback to the Russian and Chinese intelligence. But then they shouldn't have publicly admitted they were withdrawing spies, but kept the Russians and Chinese authorities guessing. Which makes it smell all the more of lies and propaganda.
I read "Getting Started" over and over from age 7 or so. Nothing else made any sense at that age. It took me a while to digest it but I did figure out enough to do more with the "160 in one electronics board" [1] than the circuits suggested in its book.

Despite all the things I left out I am grateful that I had it. If it went on and on about engineering calculations, I would not have had the capacity or patience. I would recommend other books if asked by an adult, but is something better out now for kids?

I'm not talking about construction here; design approach. I don't have any schematics for what I'm working on; they get drawn up later when it's all working.

I have to reverse engineer deadbug and Manhattan stuff which is a downside which is my point.
I agree, that hdds are still better, than the average optical media. But the reason is that the optical media are just crap today. When the CD was invented, they told us, they will hold life-long. Ok, CD-Rs/DVD-Rs are slightly different, but still it would be possible for them to be good after 40 years with still a reasonable price (I have no statistics, but I would say, that the TYs come rather near to this ideal).

I did not want to go into a lengthy discussion about hdds and backup (and still don't want to). Just one thing: While some last really decades without trouble and are really great, it can well be that you have bought one that will just fail one day and than you are bust. While the price-tag of hdds is low today, it is not so low, that you would put four or five of them on your shelf just for backup (I might do in the future, but not yet now). For a good backup-strategy you should not rely on just one media (that can be destroyed by one single drop!).

What also bothers me is, that currently only two or three real producers of hdds are left.
It would benefit this guy if he stopped being overbearing on others and instead tried doing something productive with his money. Like going up against rhino poachers. Or build schools in Afganistan.
Since this is from WWDC, they probably counted every Apple Maps API call and compared that to GM app uses for over 5 minutes.

It's WWDC, its the keynote, its full with outrageous statistics like the many performance claims.
> Define "no influence". If you walk around many European cities you see areas where the stores are 90% Döner/Kebab/Pakistani.

So in England there are the traditional corner shops that sell some food (mostly not fresh), confectionary, alcohol and soft drinks, newspapers, and cigarettes. (And, in the past, porn.)

It's pretty hard to find the Islamic influence of those shops.
AFAIK it's similar to the processes for avionics software, but with even more attention to detail. This link came up recently on HN in reference to avionics:

Kind of interesting, mostly because it's something I've never really thought about before. Not convinced this is a generally-solvable problem, particularly long-term, without resorting to behavior analysis.
Aiding and abetting terrorists can be and is punished.

Sympathy for IS or similar groups/countries is a whole different story. As long as they are at best voicing their support, or not even that, it's really difficult and contra-productive to prosecute.

If you want to morally condemn every Muslim for sympathizing with IS, you should keep in mind that most people fighting them are Muslim. You also should keep in mind that most Muslims don't sympathize with these kind of crimes or terrorism in general....
I heard some of those knowledge workers even went out into the broader industry and started highly successful businesses! I wonder how they feel about what started their careers, today...
Gotta admire their spin on "one fifth of our users went to the trouble of replacing a core OS feature"
Also, this solution is anti-modular in the sense that it becomes near-infeasible if different parts of the code that may contain locking directives are in different modules, and solving this may mean exposing an interface that becomes increasingly more complicated with increasing number of locks.

Therefore, for large scale systems, locks are an anti-pattern.
Except that I'll bet you didn't use Taiyo Yuden or equivalent quality discs. I have, first one batch of Kodak Golds 15 years ago, then Taiyo Yuden, and haven't yet suffered a data loss yet.

As others have noted, the disclaimer detracts from your message. Just because people often say “This will be controversial, but...” does not mean that it adds to your message. It does not lower the reader’s defences against controversial ideas.

What it actually does is appeal to people who are already predisposed to heterodoxy. For example, if I begin a comment with the statement:

“This is going to bring the Men’s Rights Activist sea lions out of the woodwork, but...” What I am doing is appealing to people who are already predisposed to dislike the MRA movement and its adherents. I am absolutely not trying to appeal to people leaning that way to consider my message carefully and possibly soften their stance.

Thus, statements like this tend to be divisive and polarizing, which runs 100% counter to a culture of open minded discussion.

Far better, IMO, to sneak up on people who think that JavaScript objects are pretty-much the same thing as Smalltalk objects, and show the differences one-by-one, building to a grand reveal that--whoa--there is a big conceptual difference between a dictionary that happens to have methods and a fully encapsulated actor that responds to messages.

It sounds like Mountain View is being a huge pain in the ass... Maybe it's because I grew up in a redneck area that had no zoning or building codes, but the idea that the government can tell you that you can't build what you want on property that you own is infuriating.

Deflating deflategate
Front End Performance: Beginner to Expert to Crazy Person – Philip Tellis

Well, if you voice small-minded arguments, you do run a risk of being called out as small-minded. There is this strange belief among self-styled "immigration critics" that the fact that they have a minority opinion, is somehow proof of an unfair conversation.

Bad news: You will always be judged by the things you say and the value system that is behind these things. Deal with it!

I don't see evidence of Muslims changing European cultures in any significant way. Most don't even seem to try. Even the more religious ones seem to be content with being allowed to go to a mosque every once in a while...
Experiments with Ruby and Go
This is one of the recruiting challenges to solve and companies have not that much of a incentive to alter it. As most of us agree, colleges has simply become filters and kind of a costly filter from the students perceptive for most of the cases.

The MPLv2 was specifically designed to be compatible with as many FOSS licenses as possible. It was not possible to make it compatible with GPLv2 however, because the GPLv2 is incompatible with any license that has explicit patent clauses (which I would consider to be a historic accident and a serious issue with GPLv2).

That issue was resolved with a specific section in the MPLv2 that allows licensing the code under (L)GPLv2+/AGPLv3+.

1.12. “Secondary License”

means either the GNU General Public License, Version 2.0, the GNU Lesser General Public License, Version 2.1, the GNU Affero General Public License, Version 3.0, or any later versions of those licenses.

The MPLv1.0/v1.1 allows automatically upgrading to any later version of the MPL, in section "6.2. Effect of New Versions. ". Therefore (IANAL etc.) any code published under MPL is compatible with GPLv2+.
Will USB still be accessible in twenty years time?

There's a niche in archival products for lots of redundant data (like PAR or PAR2) combined with backup duplication across geographical diversity.

There's a German (I think) company offering very robust storage for 10 of your most treasured photos. It's expensive, but they claim to be offering many years archival (100 years? 50 years? (This was on a BBC Radio Four programme but sadly I have no idea how to get that programme or the name of the company.)
While I am in doubt with the numbers, I agree with the trend. Writable DVDs last sometimes even less years, since they are produced so cheap.

There where the MO-Drives, that really lasted many decades, but they also vanished.

Best solution currently are the old-school tapes, since they are created as real backup-solution. Trouble is, that when you want to buy a current drive (with enough data density) you will have to invest a stack of money just for the drive. Also the equipment and tapes are seldom sold for consumers. I looked up some figures ... and one cartridge currently costs half the sum of the same hdd space (consumer drives). So even the cartridges are rather costly for consumers.
OutOfMemory is hard to field, because, of course, the handler may need memory. A friend likens them to putting an altimeter on his car, so if he drives off a cliff he will know how far it is to the ground.

The movie version seems to have languished into even greater obscurity.

I'm rather fond of it, it's appropriately titled "Steal This Movie" and I believe Abbie would be glad for any of you to do just so.

There's also a lesser book called 'DO IT!' by Jerry Rubin, if you really want to immerse yourself in that culture. Abbie and Jerry had a falling out and their later lives looked very different. Jerry even ended up being an early Apple investor apparently.
Good quality discs, in tyvek sleeves, with no writing on the discs, stored in temperature and humidity and light controled environment: it's not trivial for people to achieve.
> You should consider that you are also a bit absurdly denialist on the subject.

If we were talking about anything other than the bubble sort of online transactions it would be a different story. It is inherently less efficient than basically any other way you could think to do this, and why?

So that only the algorithm can ever change the money supply, not the spooky and scary "central bankers" somewhere. Never mind that they can't change money supply at a whim either...

But in the meantime a bunch of amateur economists get to rediscover all the problems of running an economy without regulations. Sorry For Your Loss, and all. And then all their defenders invariably go, "It's in the Wiki™" or, "It's just a beta, it'll be better in the future!!1".

And your reply about decentralized alternatives shows you simply don't understand what you're talking about here. Why did Silk Road ever get popular in the first place? Because you could trust it, something you can't do as easily with decentralized schemes. Brand names have value on a balance sheet for a reason.

If anything decentralized markets would be even more likely to involve exit scams—it's just the scale of the "Sorry For Your Loss" would be less.

But yes, let's continue to pump out $8-$10 worth of electricity for each and every single Bitcoin transaction made... having the freedom to be scammed in a deflationary economy is surely worth the climate impact, no?
I'm Aussie, I know the vice president of the US off the top of my head, but I couldn't tell you the Australian vice prime minister. Or even if that's a real thing.
I'd prefer if people forget about BSD/MIT and use ALv2 instead, for the patent clauses.

With the following preferred licenses you'd get explicit patent clauses, in ascending order of copyleft-ness:

ALv2
MPLv2
LGPLv3
GPLv3
AGPLv3

Perhaps the Eclipse Public License would also be an alternative at the same level as MPLv2 but I'm not familiar with it.
Greenwald: "The Sunday Times’ Snowden Story Is Journalism at Its Worst"
If you are always going to grab locks in the same order, doesn't that mean you only need one lock?
Every single method relies on detecting something sent by PhantomJS. The author even admits that it's spoofable in the first few tests, but then the 4 last do not have this mentioned. Forking PhantomJS to send out data that looks like a normal browser would take ten minutes.

I'm not sure what the point of this is. An honest title would be "detect phantomjs by trusting the client". It's completely stupid.
Nice! Mind sharing a download link of said converted .dfonts that you have so far? Sounds like a nice Apple/typography history project.

Different places in the code may take a different set of locks. Its about granularity, letting different threads continue while different locks are held.

Except that you need to do the same things for Bitcoin-based businesses as well, as I indicated in my other comment.

If you're trying to say that you'll simply break the law, you are also able to do so with fiat cash flows (just ask the cartels).
As far as I can tell, it would only require longer time (more iterations) for the network to learn, but it would still work.

The main problem I see is that the algorithm is learning from the same level (or set of levels). It would be interesting to see what happens if you give it some completely new level to play.
P2P is a very difficult option for any non-geek who wants to install ("just do it") the software.
"if you want to get the N+1th lock then you have to acquire all of them from 1 to N."

It's not that limited. Rule is that, if you want to acquire locks N and M > N, you have to do it in the order N,M. That is sufficient to guarantee that the thread holding the highest numbered lock can make progress.

Main limitation, AFAIK, is that you do not always know which locks you need. Does your concurrent hash map use a lock? Can you tell whether library call X uses one? Which one? It a.so can degrade performance a bit. For example, your memory allocator may occasionally use a lock, but most of the time, it will give you memory out of a thread-local pool.
I generally agree with what you have said, except on the number of MBA programs which offer value. I don't think they are so rare, but people shouldn't expect that a random state college can offer the world, either. Just be careful when you chose, be proactive, research the programs, the professors, the associates, the alumni and make that (very important) decision in your life. Often times you need to be guided, so seek guidance if your family is unable to offer help in such decisions.

Education is hard and needs to be worked hard to get your money's worth out of it.
Which company made the discs?

ADDED: I see you aren't who started this sub-sub-thread.

But I'd add that except for the environmental control, you don't have to go to great extremes, CD-Rs are physically rather robust. But you did/do have to do your research, to discover that you need to buy Taiyo Yuden or MAM-A media, and get discs from a reputable source (there was a lot of TY counterfeiting some time ago), and store them properly.
This is eerily similar to what Cadbury did for its workers and employees.

I wonder how many of the couples that "met online" actually met on a dating site/app. It sounds rather native to reduce the discussion to these. People that use these are probably a self-selecting group that's not representative of the whole population.
Pretty much everybody I know that met someone online [in a romantic context] was through regular social sites (facebooks, instagrams, tumblrs etc).
> These aren't great to be honest. I've scanned through them in the past and there's a ton of missing stuff. You can read these and know what stuff is and how it works but not how to use it or any practical concerns. This is just a collection of facts.

Well, they're not meant to get people on the way to understanding James Clerk Maxwell.

They're meant to get high schoolers without much (if any) formal science training to the level that they can safely maintain, operate and repair the specific electrical and electronic components used in Navy fleet applications.

So yes, everything about how this stuff actually works is simplified, and often even "dumbed down".

So I wouldn't use these guides as reference material if I were trying to take college-level versions of these courses as you'd just have to unlearn and re-learn too much to make it useful. But there's a method to the madness here.
I've had reasonable success with company mode and rtags for C/C++. Fairly straightforward to set up and reasonably accurate. I'd hesitate to call it streets ahead of even Xcode, let alone Visual Studio, but it does roughly what you'd hope for, without too much hassle. Definitely worth turning off company mode's complete-as-you type functionality, though...

After 9 years of using emacs, I still don't find it unambiguously better than Visual Studio for working with C/C++. The text editing is a lot better in emacs, but the code browsing/completion is not - and for large, multi-person projects I've always found the code browsing/completion functionality more important. You can always load files into emacs for one-off operations if you need to do something in particular.
Lets see... recently USG had all files from federal employees stolen, including background check information which as I heard included spies [1].

It is forcing locks to be acquired in an order to prevent deadlock. That is a well-known technique, but using their addresses is the interesting part here: it automatically provides a global ordering without needing to actually define one.

This is one of those things that seems baffling at first, but then once you see the rationale it's "why didn't I think of that!?" obvious. I'm guessing the one who submitted this experienced such a moment.
> I saw very little in Apple's offering that was differentiated from Spotify

There is one big difference: Apple Music will be available in my country.

Apple's ability to launch 100 countries (as stated in WWDC) within a year is probably their biggest strong point. Combine that with the three months free usage, I'm more than sure all my non-tech friends will at least be trying it out once it is available.

CLion is only a few months old and can be considered to be a 1.0 release, its already growing more and more capability on each minor update.

I use PhpStorm, cLion and PyCharm, and im happy to pay for them, the editor itself is very high quality and having common tools across all the 3 languages i use is great. If only they did a "golang" IDE.
Nobody (especially in the HN echo-chamber) wants to entertain the idea that what snowden did endangered hundreds of people directly, and the entire US indirectly, by leaking what he did. It is truly amazing to read the rationales on here avoiding this idea.
If you don't even know the name of the function you want to call, how likely is it that you're aware of its constraints and failure modes?

But then, that's probably why those IDEs ship with sophisticated debuggers, right? ☺
