10 Really Inappropriate Coloring Books That Actually Exist
At least with assembly most of the time you can't ever get that data back. Although not always.

With C it's far too easy to get the data back.

Also, you missed the worst example: CPU cache.
KDB is nothing like Hive or redis. In fact, there is no prominent open source project comparable to KDB in terms of architecture or use case.

KDB is a fast column oriented database with an APL-like API. Hive is a SQL translation layer for MapReduce/Tez and Redis is a key-value store with rich data structures.
Which of the three do you think doesn't hold up empirically?

That we can cause inflation at will (pretty much universally agreed); that we can cause deflation with a bit of discipline/rigor (the mechanism for this is well understood as well); or that we are unable to reliably maintain a persistent low positive inflation rate (There is a Nobel prize for you if you have a guaranteed formula for that).
I'd venture that less of the money from shareholder distributed income is spent on goods and services than that of employee wages. Particularly, as another poster pointed out, locally.
Microsoft is a special case, but not for that reason.

Microsoft is a special case because they had a zero-sum game/scorched Earth mindset, and the ability to lose billions of dollars per year, indefinitely, achieving it.

Microsoft was not content at allowing potential new ideas/technologies develop which might grow the market and improve things because they saw everything as a potential threat to their position. So they would do everything from trying to poison the market, to pouring (losing) tons of money into competing products, and sometimes just buying up companies and let it rot.

The very special part is as long as Windows and Office were cash cows, stock holders weren't willing to lead a revolt for Microsoft losing billions on everything else.

Not all companies are not scorched earth (SGI gave away serious resources to Nvidia, Valve recently gave away their VR tech in the highly publicized layoffs a few years ago).

Other companies might like to play scorched earth, but they don't have the ability to piss away money like Microsoft. This is why Microsoft is a special case.

Microsoft still has tons of cash and Windows/Office is still a cash cow. And it is generally accepted that company culture is hard to change once established (especially here on HN). This is why people with historical context do not trust Microsoft, with good reason.

YouTube promises two (well one actually) change that I welcome. It will allow one URL which I presume will go to the live broadcast and it promises that you won't have to create an event every time you start broadcasting.

With these two changes, I am ready to switch to YouTube at any time.

I use Rikaichan (which works really well for Japanese, not sure about other languages as I've not tried) It covers a significant portion of this in my opinion. The original is for Firefox, but there's also a chrome port under the name "rikaikun".

You write this as if the comment I responded to wasn't right there for everyone to read. You said:

NSA has a patent on ECC, expects licenses for commercial use, and has some kind of conditions you must adhere to

My presumption was that you were referring to patents assigned to NSA. NSA had patents relevant to number theoretic crypto. They're long-expired.

Apparently, what you actually meant was:

NSA has licensed a patent now owned by Blackberry.

What this has to do with open source ECC software, you have not made clear. Nobody is talking about using MQV.

It had never occurred to me that I'd sold a company that came within a factor of 7 of the value of Certicom's ECC patents. I did better than I thought I did! Woohoo!

RSA is significantly less safe than ECC alternatives. The situation is not as clear with DH, but it is if you just use Curve25519; Curve25519 is much safer than multiplicative group DH.
I was previous streams all the time, since I'm usually available when my favorite streamer is. It's also kind of convenient because you can skip around to the good parts. The one thing I really hate missing is the chat though. I wish they'd save chat history and show it alongside saved streams.
Also, openssl didn't (or doesn't) appear to care about high-reliability software engineering and the IETF TLS Working Group didn't care about producing a minimum-featured spec that is not overly difficult to implement, maintain and support in the real world. Instead, TLS has become a kitchen-sink, feature-hoarding, experiment-in-production jambalaya.
Are HN votes profitable?
HN, while being a good source of tech news, is essentially the sideline of a business venture involved in technology investment.

What I was wondering is to what extent that data is used? As it would seem to be a very profitable source.
In accuracy of decoding (pattern matching)? What it had to do with IQ?

The decades old system for handwriting digits recignition for US Post beated humans (now it is a few lines of Octave in Andrew Ng's course). Still it cannot write a reply to a letter.)

HR. Insurance sales. Medical Billing just to name a few.

It's not that the purpose behind these are bullshit, but the system is set up in an inefficient way rather than as a society doing things efficiently which would require less people. Many many jobs are manifestly bullshit (i.e. people expending effort and collecting salary doing something that could be done with much less effort a different way). Not only this, but even most non-bullshit jobs are comprised of a large percentage bullshit.

Technology has increased more than the standard of living and we are still working the same hours. Why? Because bullshit arises to claim the excess.
Salvatore is just one guy, and he probably doesn't want to waste his time managing a customer support organization.

Meanwhile, according to the official website [1], somebody else is already doing it:

> Pivotal, the official sponsor of Redis, offers Redis support for developers and 24x7 production Redis deployments.

And of course nothing prevents any other company from competing in the same space. Perhaps one of the startups that use Redis a lot could "pivot" into a Redis commercial support company.

The Other Side of Existence: Heidegger on Boredom [pdf]
That's not what you said. You said NSA had patents, demanded licenses for their commercial use, and then more or less implied that the condition they imposed on the use of those curves was to backdoor or subvert software that use them.

Obviously, no.
I hate this so much. So much. I am not used to having posts from six weeks ago in my "news" feed, so often I'll post a reply in a conversation that actually ended weeks ago. I'm used to being the awkward, weird guy, but this makes it so much worse. This mechanic is actually responsible for about 60% of my drive to quit Facebook recently.
>has planned doomsday retreats in the past including private bunkers for residences, but it is only now that this new location has come to fruition offering up a unique potential for those who truly want the ultimate in personal safety for their families.

In other words, advertising. But seems like it would be kept fairly tight-lipped and spread quietly among those who can afford such a luxury.

In any case, I always wonder about the logistics of something like this. How do you know you'd have time to reach the bunker or that your pilot would be available (or wouldn't simply refuse to spend his/her time shuttling you around in the midst of some dire threat)?

Also, who enforces your safety en route, your right to enter safely, etc.?

Seems that the mechanics depend on some of the very structure that would likely be unavailable in a true doomsday scenario.

> Likewise, this kind of work is not really just about the hype on 3D printing but it's the ability to automate things. Tomorrow, reiterations on 3D printing will bring speed, accessibility, and democratization of abilities, not to mention the lowering of cost.

That argument doesn't work. Computers were the quickest growing and improving technology in history.

I actually like 3D printing, and think it's pretty neat, but it's also pretty limited right now. I believe it will improve, probably a lot, but it's asking a lot comparing to computers.
AWESOME!! this is just what i was looking for!!
The problem is Twitch infrastrucutre is not good enough to stream properly in many countries. A 1080p/60fps stream has only about a 6Mbit bitrate but in Australia will not work, even on a connection ten times as fast. Plus, without a special agreeement that only top streamers have, Twitch takes 50% of subscription money - I'm sure Google can afford smaller margins to lure streamers over.

The problem they will face is not that gamers are loyal so much as for many people "live video game broadcast" is Twitch, so people are unlikely to notice live streams if they're elsewhere. This is solvable though - most streamers upload their VODs to YouTube anyway so they can easily notify users when a streamer is live.

I think this will be a successful for the following reasons:

Previous Twitch competitor (Owned3D) was successful in gaining viewership by poaching streamers from twitch with better deals.It seems like it was pretty easy for personalities to transfer their fan bases over. Many twitch streamers already post highlights of their streams to youtube so they've already established a presence there. I would also think that youtube will be better at serving video advertisements and handling copyrighted materials on stream (currently twitch handles copyrighted music by muting archived videos that contain it, whereas youtube places an advertisement for the song at the bottom of the video).
I understand the logic behind shutting off the system if the driver takes their hands off the wheel, so as to put the responsibility and fault on the driver.

But what about fallbacks for the driver's error? When I think about the dangers of allowing living beings to drive two ton death machines, I think about: brain aneurysms, drunk drivers, and falling asleep at the wheel.

I guess we're still a few years away from consumer self-driving systems.
This is a good idea, but the docker daemon runs as root so it's at least theoretically possible to break out of the container and start messing with the host, as root.
Cliff Notes: computers can now answer IQ type questions on par with humans that have a bachelor or masters degree.
It's not only bandwidth, it's also the computing power it take to capture and compress a frame.
Capturing @ 60 FPS with say Shadow Play isn't an issue, but when you are starting to compress it to a format you can upload it gets a bit dodgy.
And 30mbit upload isn't enough to stream uncompressed video in 1080p.

That's a semi-clarification. You brought up foundational patents and NSA patents in a dismissal form. You didn't acknowledge any patent risk on ECC, the gist of my comment, at all. Anyone reading your comment would think there was no patent risk much like the other commenters. Might have not been your intention.

Far as open source, the BSD licenses are used in part to encourage proprietary adoption of superior technology for everyone's benefit. Well, OpenBSD team might have their own reasons as they often do for a lot of things. Any company using BSD code in a commercial product (many do) is fine unless it's covered by patents. It's why Apache license mentions patents specifically. If this ECC was covered by ECC patents, then this could add risk to such a company over other technologies unless they licensed the patents from Blackberry. A specific example would be Genua, a German defense contractor that builds security appliances on OpenBSD.

And congratulations for beating your own expectations on the sale. One of a rare few. ;)
Sale and cash are well understood in accounting circles. "Forward booking" is, I understand, much fuzzier. What may count as a sale (eg, I receive a purchase order) may differ from the forward booking (someone scribbles on an MoU).

Depending on the organisation, sales staff can be paid at different times in that pipeline. And unsurprisingly there's dropoff at each stage.

I guess I should end by pointing out that I am not an accountant and this isn't accounting advice.

I have used a Firefox extension called Dust-Me Selectors[1] which does this. It breaks your css into used and unused selectors, it can spider the site for you, or you can leave it running as you browse the site and it will work automatically.

Haven't been following LCS for 2 years or so, but they used to stream it on multiple platforms at the same time.

I don't think Google can pay RIOT enough to go exclusive, especially since they need to be able to stream and get revenue from multiple regions, especially China.
According to the Redis support page, Pivotal sponsors Redis and they provide commercial support services for it.

Although, to be honest, the page linked from the Redis site (http://www.pivotal.io/big-data/redis) doesn't seem to have much to say on the matter. Looks like an ad for their cloud platform, and I wouldn't have guessed they offer support for Redis itself.
Water rights have massive externalities, so this is a classic 'wrong' answer to the problem.
I've updated it for clarification. The NSA did have patents, though. After those expired, they licensed Certicom's and their web site even mentions that this only applies to products conforming to their expectations. As in, they control those to quite a degree. The alternative was paying Certicom a licensing fee.

It's still on their web site.
Functional languages have arrays.
Except that https://twitchalerts.com is not affiliated with Twitch, it's unsure if they have a deal to get some of the revenue.
Exactly. One of many reasons the developers went with an end-to-end solution instead of HTTPS. It makes the transport mechanism moot except for the initial key exchange.

I understand what you mean. But my concern is that by the time its perfectly comfortable for me to pursue this dream, I'll already be in a position where I cant live the dream. If that makes any sense.

Like yes, I could wait another 5 years until I am settled and have decent savings. But then I'll be settled, and just be left to wonder at what could have been.

1) I'm sure with Amazon's resources behind them, Twitch will get their infrastructure up to snuff in more remote regions of the world.

2) Amazon could surely afford to compete with Google on sub share % if need be. Furthermore, it's not just a matter of offering a higher sub share. It's (sub share) * (# of subs). Twitch has a very good head start on the latter.
YouTube already has 360 degree video. How much bandwidth could 360degree streaming possibly take?
Ah yes, our brochureware site is too vague for my tastes, but Pivotal-the-company is mostly pitched at F500s, not engineers per se.

At the coalface, Pivotal also includes Pivotal Labs (for whom I work and from which the larger company took its name), which includes people who've done a lot of production Redis work.

And we can always ask Salvatore for a tip if we get stuck.

Similarly, I have access to Hadoop, Gemfire, Greenplum, Cloud Foundry, RabbitMQ or Spring devs for help. Being inside the same tent is nifty.
I've done a lot of bitching about small websites where the devs didn't bother to test in Firefox. But from Google? Seriously?

>Fashion? Haskell's core abstractions are not design patterns du jour. They're math. They're not going away.

That doesn't really make any sense. Just because the abstractions have some kind of Platonic existence doesn't mean that people are going to keep using them.

Significant use of applicatives in day-to-day code is a relatively new development in the Haskell community. I used to write a fair bit of Haskell code around five or six years ago (well beyond basic Haskell 98), but the operators in that code were not familiar to me. (They may have been once, but I clearly didn't come across them often enough to remember them.) It's easy enough to understand the code once you look up the operators, but Haskell does seem to be gradually collecting a lot of abstractive cruft.

There's something to be said for deploying the fancier abstractions when they significantly reduce code size, rather than whenever you possibly can.
Here is a link to the easy to read article.

I get this as well. In my experience these are people who just don't like what they're doing (and are also often bad at it), so they try to undermine every decision. I haven't found a good way of dealing with this so I'd love to hear some pointers.
It's because they have willingly changed their culture to open up technology. I learn russian online skype at http://preply.com/en/russian-by-skype and my teacher said success starts with the mind.
Hearthstone is very well designed for what it is--an online-only Magic the Gathering that is accessible in a casual way.

I simply won't spend on Magic Online since I can't exit. In addition, why should I spend hundreds of dollars on something whose value can plunge drastically?

If you have actual physical cards, you can sell them. Powerful modern cards hold their value reasonably well.
The simplistic low-level nature of redis probably helps avoid fatigue. Many of the data structures implemented are well defined in their purpose, it's more a matter of implementation & optimization. The same is not true for higher-level projects, such as CRUD apps, where project structure and project goals can often be vague and are likely to change during the course of the project.

This isn't to take away from Salvatore, who is obviously talented and seems to have a knack for researching and implementing the data structures in an efficient manner.

You'd think there could be a way that they could track the times between pulls for the newsfeed as you scroll and get a lower resolution view of the same phenomena, basically how long you looked at those posts but without as specific data as tracking a javascript timer.
to neuter this, you can use the mobile site and disable javascript. I used to also use fbcmd (via commandline), although it seems the maintainer has left.
The bandwidth isn't the problem...latency is the problem. Most consumer broadband providers don't give much of a crap about low-latency connections, because when you're watching a static, 5-minute YouTube video, it isn't horrible if it comes with a 500ms delay before play start. It matters a hell of a lot more when the video is live.

Once you're streaming something live and interactively, if nothing else, you're getting boned by the limits of physics: for example, a connection from a datacenter in California has a (current) ~150ms minimum round-trip latency to Europe. That's bordering on a human-perceptible lag, and that's the best case. As I said before, most providers don't give you anywhere near the best case. So you spend a ton of money setting up datacenter and peering arrangements and low-latency interconnects, but you're still in a tough place if your broadcaster is connected to a craptastic residential ISP in New York, and your viewer is in Hong Kong.

Maybe YouTube can do better simply because they're YouTube. But I doubt it. Everything YouTube has done has been to optimize the case of static video delivery, which is a different (and much easier) game. Doing live video at scale requires a different architecture.
4 times the bandwidth of regular streaming I would guess - the equivalent of one stream in each direction.
Worth reading Zelikow and Allison's "essence of decision" -- now that they have evolved into a complex bureaucracy with multi-level masters to serve (middle managers, shareholders, political actors), they quite literally can't do anything except maximize profit by driving traffic via click optimization. Bureaucratic process and palace politics (models 2 and 3) are driving outcomes, not executive vision (ie Zuck, model 1)... Time for sadface.
