"Quickly" is a relative term. I highly doubt most of these large farms would be able to adapt by the end of the summer.
Much of the functional world is concerned with defining structures that are heavily linked to themselves. Tagged data is essentially the norm.

So, it isn't just that maps are defined in terms of car/cdr, it is that the list itself is defined in terms of car/cdr. The "aha" moment is when you can see that an array of items in c can efficiently represent a tree structure where the parent/child relationships are implied, not tagged. The performance gains from this are impressive.
If you as a user wish to have a normal-ish Unix commandline experience, you "install" into your personal nix profile various nix packages. I put "install" in quotes because there are two steps:

1) Adding the package to the nix store, /nix/store/checksum-coreutils-version

2) Linking this into your nix profile: ~/.nix-profile/bin/ls will be a symlink to /nix/...coreutils.../bin/ls

Your PATH is then ~/.nix-profile/bin.

Now if you're packaging a shell script, and it calls coreutils and rsync, then inside the build scripts for that package, you might do something like this to wrap the script with the required PATH:

wrapProgram myScript --prefix PATH ${coreutils}/bin:${rsync}/bin

That way, the script will still work even if the user running it does not have coreutils or rsync in PATH. If will also work if the user does have rsync-1.0, but the script requires rsync-2.0, because the custom PATH being used by the script includes the required rsync.

In this situation, both coreutils and rsync would be present in /nix/store, even if no user has linked them into their profile.
I was wondering when they would do this.

I find myself scrolling down and glancing for things. If I spot something that might be intriguing, whether a picture, article, or cat pic, I'll scroll back up. I can't be alone in this.
Yes, I think the only real solution is to properly price water and build desalinization plants for areas along the coast. And yes, individuals conserving water will not prevent whatever outcome awaits, only slow it down slightly.

But personally wasting water is still insanity. It demonstrates an attitude of being someone else's problem, which ties right in to the general California philosophy of outsourcing personal judgment/responsibility.

I've seen much better conservation efforts during New England droughts, which only ever last a few months and are then followed by an inundation of precipitation.
Useful idiots are still morally culpable for providing cover for bad people. You don't get a pass on aiding malice through ignorance. And there is a point at which the intense clinging to "well both sides" goes from ignorant to in itself malicious. At this point, months into this, I don't think you can be in that epistemic closure without actively adopting its mores.

I have stopped entertaining the notions of people who want to hurt my friends, and the people who want to defend them. Changing minds is a nice-to-have, but putting a stop to the bad behavior is a necessity. So at this point I think that it is sufficient to beat them. Which has already happened; they've already, individually and in aggregate, lost the battle to dominate the industry, to freeze out people who want to cater to people who aren't young white males. The GamerGate people will have their sinecures and their friendly developers (which is why the shirt-rending screaming about "SJWs" is hilarious, it's not like the industry is going to stop making games for young white males), but as a whole, they've lost, and I'm okay with not really making nice-nice to them as they fade to irrelevance.
If only it were so simple.

But that does not work. Full stop. The compiler can optimize in ways that still leak the contents of the thing that was supposed to be memset-ted away.
I may be in the minority, but I had figured they'd been doing this for years
It’s clear that you’ve designed something that gets people’s attention (your animation on the homepage might be one of the best examples of real time apps I’ve ever seen), but based on the questions in this thread…people are looking for differentiation.

If I were you, I’d start by answering everyone’s questions here. These are your potential users and leaving them hanging seems odd. The next step would be answering those questions on your site.

This is the kind of service that people are going to start using for a new project (rarely are people going to switch existing infrastructure to something brand new). But any new framework, language or platform requires investment and with developer related services and tools, people are going to research first. Help them do that research efficiently.

Good luck taking this to the next level!
Yay! Let the rich be the only ones who can afford water!
While that sounds lovely, it will never fly in a Protestant flavored bureaucracy, sadly... Too much need for an expectation of control and submission. Too much uncomfortable feelings around uncertainty and leisure.
I assumed they were already doing this. As a result I started to deliberately modulate the amount of time I spent looking at various people or things. I guess now it will actually be effective.
Plans for Redis 3.2
Except, of course, that the compiler can perfectly legally copy the variable behind the scenes and not overwrite the copy.

I mean it when I say you cannot.
Except, of course, that memset_s is still not enough.

The compiler can and will copy things around, and it is not required to memset_s said cop(y)/(ies) away.

No doubt Graeber would have considered the medicine man in the cave society as a 'bullshit' job. :-)

The Luddite argument is almost exactly as you've framed it, "technology eats my job, 'they' fix it so most people don't notice, we should collectively outlaw technology."

However, the Luddites, then and now, started from a fallacy that a 'job' was some sort of permanently defined thing, of which there was a finite supply. And sadly that is completely backwards. What there is, is capital, which is the output of an economy, which goes back into the economy to create more capital. Capital is not strictly 'money' which is a stand in for it at times, it is the potential to produce goods or services. That potential can be realized as $100 or it can be realized as someone who is not currently employed. The participants in the economy, people like you and me, make up new types of jobs all the time in order to convince some capital to flow your way. When we are successful we capture that capital, and then we reuse it to meet our own needs or goals. So when ever there is excess capital, there is job creation because everyone wants a piece of it.
Home use is dwarfed entirely by ag use. Sure, I can cut my shower down to 5 minutes. It is going to be a rounding error in the amount of water used.
went to do some work on a studio the other day, and their one PC that is only used to transfer audio files from programs that only run on PC was full of malware. opening popups everywhere. Someone installed daemontools instead of winrar to mount a dvd image, and didn't uncheck the 'install malware' box. After hours of jokes about how patetic PCs are, we moved to the macs.

every single one of them had MacKeeper.
How about running a diff on pre-purify versus post-purify?
And that doesn't even get into the other aspect of it:

Namely that C / C++ allows temporary copies of variables that are not cleared afterwards. The most obvious case of this being things being temporarily copied into registers / stack, but there are other examples as well.
Not to mention there's VMS clusters with 20+ years of uptime. The systems, especially Alphas, were so reliable that at least one sysadmin forgot how to restart them and had to consult the manual lol. I wish they made a good desktop. I'd have used it and probably lost less work. ;)

I'm for it, or maybe neutral towards it. People should be able to move if they want to. It definitely presents challenges, but they're manageable challenges.

How One Brain Came Back from Unconsciousness
Depends. Did this actually happen? What has the girl done? Did she just kill someone? Has she just bitten someone's ear off? Context is everything... Maybe the police officer now has nightmares about ear-eating fourteen year old bikini clad girls, and can never have a proper releationship, due to this emotional scarring? If your sister or daughter went completely crazy, and had or was going to hurt herself and others, then of course you want someone to physically restrain her, before something worse happens...

So, yes - if she deserved it, then I absolutely want to be the kind of person who makes that excuse!
What is the actual performance advantage gained in contrast to a simple minifier?

Given today's CPU speeds, I think the only thing you can save with this tool is bandwidth on mobile and even with this, the effort is not always worth the resulting speed gains as mobile networks get faster and faster.

I love this. I actually think that if you made the questions user-definable, and offered people ways to track their own surveys over time, this would be a viable startup.

The quantified life crowd is still around, and being able to track different values over time is incredibly useful. Sure, you can use a spreadsheet or whatever, but a nice pretty site like this makes it really easy and fun.
You couldn't be more right. To this day, I encourage the use of radio, dial-up, closed-circuits, cheap leased lines... anything but the Internet... for mission-critical transmission. Just way too many issues from reliability to security. Using simple lines and protocols with little to no routing let's one use equally simple hardware. If resources are left over, one can use them for boosting manageability, reliability, or security.
Could you expand on that? How are you differentiating between a 'booking' and a 'sale'?

My interpretation of this was that bookings == 'contractually agreed upon commitments to buy' (basically, sales), and then revenue flows thereafter, so if I sold a million dollars, and had $200k of churn in june, my June bookings would be $800k.

Are you referring to a 'sale' as some sort of 'customer has stayed past a probation period and the salesman is eligible for a commission' point? I'd love to have this cleared up.

> tibet had defacto independence before it was annexed by the communist party in 1951.

Tibet was struggling to gain any sort of international recognition and was, as you say, independent de facto and not de jure. They were about as independent as the Principality of Sealand. In 1906 Great Britain and China signed the Convention Between Great Britain and China Respecting Tibet, which recognized China's sovereignty over the region. The brief period during which the de facto independence existed was during the Chinese civil war, when the Tibetans took advantage of that situation and agitated for independence. Nothing ever became of that effort, because the formation of a new state requires international recognition.

The list of treaties recognizing China's authority over Tibet goes on, whereas there exists a distinct lack of anything resembling international recognition for the existence of an independent Tibet.

So that's why I have the idea that Tibet is a province, subordinate to the central Chinese government.
The farmers are adults, and are fully capable of adapting to things like this on their own. They knew just as well that this was coming.
The skills and money you get in the ML career could enable you to pursue your dreams with a clear head once your debts have been settled. And maybe you could find a similar role out there?

If you are comfortable in the ML career and want to stay there, then I don't think you'll kick yourself for not leaving, as you might be happy there. You can always go once your in a more settling situation financially, and if you still have the itch, you can scratch it.
Now it's serving or proxying gogs.io.
Really interesting how the people start to bitch around even if they don't know any background story. The two guys that created the fork of Gogs are cofounders of Gogs abd they have been in the organization for a long while...

Unknwon does some other stuff now and seems to not care about gogs anymore and as far as i know he's not willing to accept other contributors or people in the organization that gauns write access. So now there is the fork Gitea which gets lots of attention and already multiple bugfixes. The for months outstanding feature of pull requests will be done pretty soon as well. Ah, and I forgot to mention that the project title still shows that it's a gogs fork beside of some files that are still named gogs.
> The popularly endorsed government of Utah was not violently overthrown by the US.

...but if you're interested in seeing how something like that might play out, you can take a look at the Southern Victory series by Harry Turtledove :D
...I do not think the word "portable" means what you think it means.
As is said in the post:

> the address of the CA is hardcoded in the program so be sure to use the official lets-encrypt

Now, the idea of a nosudo letsencrypt is a good idea, but if such a thing should exist it should be made on the officiel repo and audited like lets encrypt was (note that this is just my opinion).
did you turn off font-smoothing? personally i prefer it and looks great on 10.11 DP with my 13" simulating 1440 x 900.
I forgot to mention that I'm one of the gitea maintainers now and that there is some other communication beside of the issues as well like gitter chat or email ;)
For an introduction, it's a bare one.
Exactly! That's the ultimate problem with these kinds of systems. It's why I advocate incrementally re-engineering a compatible system onto modern hardware and standards. Not even anything fancy necessarily: just easy to maintain, portable, and fast enough. Companies like Semantic Designs even make source-to-source compilers that do bug-for-bug translations. I'm sure we could do dynamic translation of binaries for the dependencies, too, although I'm not sure anyone does that.
I wonder how many HN readers are too young to remember the original San Francisco font on the original Mac. It was the "ransom note" font.

I agree wholeheartedly. However, I sincerely doubt most distros will adopt it, for the simple reason that unifying the packaging infrastructure means more-or-less obsoleting the concept of a distribution.
The lightest weight on the page does seem way too thin, but the heavier face above it looks great to me.
On a hidpi Thinkpad running Linux, it's certainly readable but I like the bold version better.

The lowercase letter strokes seem to end in non-right-angles a lot, which bothers me a bit.

Some older CPU's maybe, but you can't seriously look at e.g. the 68000 next to an x86 CPU and tell me the 68000 is not cleaner.

It's not that they don't have craziness, it's that the functionality that mere mortals need to use to write efficient code is simpler.

The M68k's 8 general purpose data registers and 8 general purpose address registers alone is sufficient to make a huge difference.

For me, moving to an x86 machine was what made me give up assembler - in disgust - and it is something I've heard many times over the years: it takes a special kind of masochist to program x86 assembly; for a lot of people who grew up with other architectures, it's one step too far into insanity.
Thanks for this.

I would like to use this service, but I do not want a program to do things for me on my server unless it's part of the OS distribution, so this will help.

Why do you need sudo to serve a file though? Is it a restricted port?
Using gnupg unfortunately requires a fairly complete understanding of the specific Web of Trust model used.

On top of that the interface is atrocious, go find someone with an image in their pubkey and try to display it from the command line.

Good luck.
3d printing in general is not just about different shapes, but different materials as well.

No, Microsoft is a special case because they have always been at best amoral; they have been a cutthroat, even malicious company. Recently they've softened their behavior and image, but it's really a very recent shift and given their past treachery it's hard to trust them.

These other companies may not always work together in harmony, but at least they aren't preoccupied with extinguishing their competitors and dominating ("owning") their users.
Thanks! I knew they used something but nobody ever told me what the old standards were. I'm adding it to my link farm as some call it. Bet I find a use for it, too. :)

> Corporations are created for the benefit of the corporation, and as they get hyper-large they don't even serve the needs of their own employees; they become self-aware, and their survival and growth becomes their reason for existence.

I think this is getting a bit out of hand. Corporations aren't alive or self-aware, in the end humans make all the decisions, and most of the time for the benefit of those same humans.

> Governments can be concerned with my interests. It's impossible for corporations to play that role.

Corporations are led by CEOs (and other officers of the company) and by the board, while government is led by the president (or equivalent from other countries) and the legislative (Congress in the US, Parliament in others). How much does POTUS or the average Congressman care about your interests? They only care as far as it wins them the next election, but that's not much different from a corporation: a corporation might care about your interests as long as you're a paying customer. Government ceases to care about you when you stop voting, companies cease to care when you stop buying.
> * The Dalai Lama doesn't want to form a theocracy.

He claims to be the leader of the legitimate government of Tibet, whose return to power he has made his goal. He is a monarch, appointed by religious rituals. He holds simultaneously the highest religious and political offices of his people. In what way is he not a theocratic leader?

> * The popularly endorsed government of Utah was not violently overthrown by the US.

Were it to make serious motions towards secession, that would undoubtedly be the result.

> * The Dalai Lama doesn't want Tibet to secede from China, he just wants it to have more regional autonomy.

Yes, today this is true. He now advocates for a "Third Way" which allows for cultural preservation of the Tibetan people while recognizing Chinese sovereignty. This has not always been his position, and it was not for most of his exile.
Malaysia is an Islamic country, so Friday is the equivalent of the American Saturday to them, i.e. Friday is the first day of the Weekend, and Sunday is a normal workday.
Your response is meaningless.

If I'm not willing to pay the going rate for a competent megatruck driver in a remote location, and an incompetent driver wrecks a heap of equipment that ends up costing me millions of dollars, then I may well ask myself why I cheaped out instead of just spending $200k/year on a driver with the desired skillset and experience.

I never suggested in any way that such wages were reflective of drivers' costs of doing business or liability insurance, and don't know where you got such an idea. I think the high salary is a function of both the remote location and the particular skills/experience needed to operate a truck that can weigh up to 600 tons when loaded. The trucks themselves cost a few million dollars each, I believe.

In the description: "forked from Gogs"

Readme.md's Acknowledgments and Contributors sections appear to still be in place, with the credit-improving (IMO) change of replacing the link text "core team" to "gogs team".

What else would you expect? The github forked-from notice if you use the github button instead of git to fork, I guess? Anything else?
Even in the best case (for China), the Chinese had suzerain rights over Tibet according to the convention. That is not at all the same as Utah and the US.

Also, being an independent kingdom with antiquity Tibet has a right to challenge status quo based on history, which again is nothing like Utah/Mormons and the US since there was no Mormom state prior to it being a US territory.

Interviews only exist as a tactic in the goal to bring on valuable people. While it's surely important to bring on good people - and not bring on bad - this just seems to be one of those nebulous skills like 'leadership'. Everyone trying to 'nail it', and its not a skill you're going to get exactly right anyway.
I'm tending towards - give up on trying to nail the optimal method of accessing talent.

You have to interview there's no substitute for having a conversation with someone. Then, hire someone as a contractor. You'll see how good they are on the job with a more limited investment, and hire them f/t later if they're good.

Also, I find these 'code for me now' sessions rather undignified - but its a world of young people, and young people are more likely to put up with demeaning worthless crap.
> It's impatient only if it's a permanent fork. If they merge it in once he gets back, no harm done.

The forked readme.md replaces the contact email in: "If you think there are vulnerabilities in the project, please talk privately to u@gogs.io. Thanks!"

That doesn't seem like a temporary fork maneuver.
