Are you serious?

That HardOCP article (and HarcOCP are not really known for their quality articles anyway) is testing for framerate imrpovements.

I don't like your tone. If texture streaming would profit much from an SSD, you would see that in the FPS.

Fallout 3 was played by me on a very old machine, of course without an SSD, and I remember no noticeable cell loading outside. The streaming of those engines is just too good. Fallout: New Vegas I played for more hours I'm comfortable admitting, heavily modded, on a better machine, same story there.

> My own Skyrim installation uses nearly 4Gb of video memory when wandering around the wilderness. That would cause some pretty heavy thrashing on an HDD.

Ingame, in the widlerness? Try it out. I doubt it. Initial loading times will be better of course, and loading times when switching locations, but not performance otherwise. You underestimate the performance of a regular HDD that is not a shitty 2.5 model cooked to death in an overheating laptop.

> They didn't cost me much, so why wouldn't I do it?

Like I said: No reason not to, if you have the SSD anyway. But normally, SSDs are a lot more expensive than a HDD, see above.
It's interestingly that the Gibbs phenomenon appears visually as a whiplash effect. You can see how it would only get worse as higher order terms are included.
So it would boil down to the quest for the “sufficiently smart problem specification format”. OK, aren't programming languages standard problem specification formats? Why do you suppose there are different PLs? Right, because all problems _can't_ be specified advantageously in the same format. Which brings you full circle to where you started. That's by no means a discouragement. If you invent a PL that's better than what we have now, it's still progress. But, to use a famous quote, “there is no silver bullet”.
Is there a good guide to getting started using logfiles as the basis for analytics? Best practices on using client vs server-side signals (and if both, not double-counting), etc. I'm interested in learning more about it, but a google search doesn't turn up anything relevant. Snowplow seems to be using a setup like this, but not sure how they'd fit in with what the author was discussing.

I'm using Django, but I imagine this kind of system would be mostly platform-agnostic.

'Pyramid' Spotted on Surface of Ceres – Daily Mail Online
Nice SFW url rewrites!
The daily mail should not be a source of information at all, though. Any greater weighting than zero is too much. If it's only used as a test for the algorithm then I guess it can be OK, assuming the Mail's broken logic doesn't get in the way. It's the step above dream logic, really. Deepmind might have problems abstracting too much over the text because of this. Trying to combine information from several different articles would be basically impossible.

Anyway, how about using Wikipedia instead? I can only guess they're using the Mail because they think it's funny.

> You seem to confuse TeX and LaTeX. Knuth himself doesn't do LaTeX so the default styles aren't from him.

Oops, mea culpa. You're right, I mixed both thinking Latex and Tex were quite equivalent in term of style rendering. I never bothered looking into Tex, I just wrote some Latex classes (and documents, of course).

> BTW, the README states that this layout has been "inspired by user guide documents from Apple Inc." So don't bash on the ground it might look like a Word document. ;-)

Oh but Word wasn't on my mind at all when I commented. I even followed the link on keynote to see what was the reference (since I never looked at keynote or iLifexxx documentation).
Mawww's experiment for a better code editor
Well, in my country multi party systems basically work like this:

Unresolved issue comes up, party forms specializing in said issue, if party gets support big parties integrate unresolved issue, issue is now resolved.

And you got it completely around! In america your mom gets the government she is been told to want. That is why you have a two party system. Barrier to entry is "spent multi hundred millions on media control, if that's not possible you wont get votes, ever" and that's well backed by facts.
You see, that reasoning is perfectly valid, and when putting it like that I agree :) Well, kind of, 200$ still feels to expensive for me for that.

I just won't let me be told that the texture streaming outside in the open world needs that.
I suspect (because I read minds) that if they _knew_ Go was going to add generics and such in a year or two that they'd be ready to dive in for a big project or two. No point in investing the time in working up a significant Go project if you value Features X & Y but don't believe the language is headed there.

In other words, the frustration is because Go is _close_ to a good language but not quite good enough if we know this is it. Or, maybe even worse, we don't know anything at all about its future direction.
China’s Hillhouse leads $1B Uber investment deal
You see, this is a much older discussion than most folks think. Back in the 70s, there was a lot of talk then about how badly software was built. "If buildings were built the way software is built, the first strong wind would destroy civilization". Remedies were proposed, dogmas (er, sorry, methodologies) developed, proselytized, replaced. Languages came and went. Howling winds came (see the "voodoo gods" in Count Zero) when we connected this all to the internet. Y2K came and showed some of the underbelly.

So, tear it down and rebuild it securely is actually many years to late 1998.

There are a few that know how to build software that isn't swiss cheese. Just picking two that I know of, nobody reads the whole volume set (as noted in Coders at Work), and for the other one, nobody wants to use it because it isn't under active development. The idea, even today, that a chunk of important internet software can actually be finished seems to be met with cognitive dissonance.

And there are organizations that know how to build very good software. But in todays fast moving businesses, who wants to be in a CMM 5 organization? Doesn't sound like much fun to me, and probably not to you either.

My estimate of the last year that all of this could have been fixed was at least 30 years earlier than your estimate. Or sooner. I worked in an organization whose core software, running today, was first written about 50 years ago.
Congress has a shitty approval rating, but the most representatives get voted into office by a decent margin. People hate everybody else's reps.

History really distorts things. Do we have to wait 200 years to see fights with ISIS in a similar "noble tragedy" kind of light, where there are no clear baddies and nobody's assigned blame for the killings?

Maybe some of those dead people were "baddies" fighting for something we don't believe in anymore? In that case, surely we should be celebrating the fact that they died. If not, then maybe we should be complaining about the violent people who killed them? It's not a natural disaster where nobody wants it to happen. Soldiers actively fought for some purpose or other that we presumably either accept or not today.
Speaking of Git commit messages, it's worth pointing out this wiki[1], written and reviewed by some long time open source contributors. It's a bit verbose, but rewarding to the patient reader.

On writing Git commit subject lines, I've come to appreciate why the imperative mood is nicer (as opposed to the and indicative mood). Some related reasoning here[2].

I think ours was just a style one from ACM. IT made it easy to publish papers because the format was already correct.
How is this answer even related? I never mentioned multi party systems lead to a well functioning political system.

You are arguing against a point no one made.
The thing is, the commit message is part of the commit, not something separate from it. Irritating as it might be, this is good for traceability.

What I do to avoid that is work on a separate branch, rebase against master, then review the commits on my branch after getting rid of any WIP commits and shuffling them around to make more sense. Finally, I make sure the commit messages are (a) accurate and (b) have no typos. Once I'm satisfied with that, I merge.

I treat merging as a big deal, but not committing.
Show HN:Tagsdock- Tag Instagram photos instantly from your iOS keyboard
Tagsdock is an iOS Keyboard app to tag your Instagram photos quickly. Like most Instagram users, I use hashtags for my photos. Bulk copying hashtags from other apps and then opening Instagram app every time to paste it sucks. Wanted to tag my Instagram photos faster, so we built Tagsdock.
there is no real reason to prefer a .com domain other than someone else might catch it and tries to sell it to you expensive. There is no reason to think it will rank better and there is no reason to think that a competitor could overcome you with worse seo just because he has a .com domain.

I usually never use .com domains as it sucks looking for available domains. I rather make wordplays and therlike with alternative TLDs. In the end most of the traffic is coming from google anyway, so my focus clearly is on SEO.

There are non related sub-domains ranking better than any of their competitors because they have better backlinks and proper seo.

Edit:// Also a .com domain for a local business is most likely always a stupid choice.
I think the two most important rules are:

1- The first line should give a good description of the commit

2- Avoid long lines (reading truncated commit messages is painful)

Other than that I think it's all common sense/good judgment and I'm not attached to a particular writing style or kind of sentences one should make.
Overview of Text Mining
Text mining is an analytical field which derives high quality information from text. Text mining is widely used in the industry when data is unstructured. Derived information can be provided in the form of numbers (indices), categories or clusters, summary of text. This article focusses on applications of text mining, workflow and example.

There's a similar idea at Pixar - it's called 'plussing'. You accept someone else's point and use it as a starting point to build something amazing. There's a really worthwhile Randy Nelson talk about it on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhXJe8ANws8

I doubt there were deep studies, because there so much of a document's design is a matter of taste. For example, Don Knuth really liked a certain generation of math journals, so he built TeX and CM to emulate that. Just because it's the default doesn't mean it's an optimal design.

I'm partial to serif fonts, and Scala in particular, but Apple's design documents are beautiful too, and I can't begrudge someone wanting to emulate their design.
Hep, that's very good. I'm trying to do this recently, it is very hard btw unless you organize different topics beforehand, but then it is easy to escape since I often try to do something like "Submodule: ...." because later to merge just a single feature is simpler because commits are "tagged" with the name of the feature or module.
True of an ordinary bottle too, which is topographically the same as a plate.
I like how this is aimed at beginners (non-programmers). Although I don't think it's really possible for a complete neophyte to pick up this project and make something, it seems like it could become a part of an even more basic course. I find a lot of "beginner" resources make far too many assumptions. Today I was working with some students who had never used a keyboard before and I tried to find a typing tutorial they could use but most of them assumed too much. It's OK to have intermediate resources but they should at least point to more basic information. For example, a typing program is far more useful with a picture of a hand over the keyboard in the home position. It's even better with animation to show the proper fingering.

Bikeshedding like this is useful as a team efficiency metric.

If you can't get quickly to an agreement about such a thing, or if the members of the team that didn't get their way actively rebel (or worse sabotage), you are working with a team of divas.

>Anyone can learn to read, and write, computer code

I agree that most motivated learners could pick up some very basic software skills, and those would be beneficial to them. In a utopian world basic programming skills would be treated the same as basic literacy and numeracy. However, at this point in time, it seems to me that most users don't care (maybe because they don't know what they're missing). As an analogy, most people could learn basic knife skills in a couple of hours and be much more productive in the kitchen with a chef's knife than they are now with the huge array of inferior point tools (cheap dull knives, garlic slicer, chopper, egg slicer, etc.). However there is obviously a big market for the latter. Similarly, I'm not sure extensible and modifiable systems have enough attraction to the average user.

Another reason for closed systems, one which I think is more important than the profit motive, is that designing extensible and modifiable systems is really hard and comes with trade-offs. E.g. Squeak (a Smalltalk dialect) allows you to inspect and modify almost everything in the system while it runs, but that also means that is really easy to screw up the system behind repair (e.g. you can switch every boolean in the running system by evaluating 'true become: false') and that supporting users of such systems becomes much harder. I am not aware of any system that has a solution to this.
So, four extra lines for each item? That would (much more than) double the length of the piece. Except that for several of them, much of that information is already there.

Still, let's have a go.

10. Mochizuki and the abc conjecture. The abc conjecture says, roughly, that you rarely have a+b=c where a,b,c are all products of large powers of prime numbers. You can think of this as saying that the additive and multiplicative structures of the integers are kinda-independent. The abc conjecture, if true, would imply lots and lots of other conjectures that number theorists have made. (In particular, it "almost implies" Fermat's Last Theorem.) Mochizuki claims to have proved it using a very complicated thing he's created called "inter-universal Teichmueller theory". Teichmueller theory is all about spaces whose structure is based on the complex numbers, which you can think of as being obtained as follows: start with the integers; allow yourself to form fractions (giving the rational numbers); "fill in the gaps" (forming the real numbers); "add roots of algebraic equations" (forming the complex numbers). But there are some not-so-obvious ways to "fill in the gaps" where instead of the usual limiting process where you do things with smaller and smaller errors (sqrt(41) ~= 6, 6.4, 6.40, 6.403, 6.4031, etc.) you try to do things that are right "modulo large powers of p" for some prime p; e.g., sqrt(41) = 1, 21, 821, 3821, 03821, 203821, etc.; but you should really think of this as exhibiting one thing mod powers of 2 and another mod powers of 5. Doing something comparable to Teichmueller theory using these gives you "p-adic Teichmueller theory", and then "inter-universal Teichmueller theory" is a further generalization that I don't understand. No one is quite sure whether Mochizuki's proof is correct; it's based on a huge amount of abstruse stuff he's invented that no one was very interested in before he claimed to have used it to prove the abc conjecture, and getting one's head around all that takes time. The next step is for the mathematical community (or at least some small bit of it) to understand IUTT well enough to check Mochizuki's proof. I believe that's happening, but it won't be quick.

Hmm, that's pretty long (despite not managing to do more than gesticulate vaguely in the direction of the relevant mathematics). I'll do the others, but I think it'll be one per comment rather than a single monstrously long comment.
My behavior:

1.) Use http://www.namemesh.com/ , https://www.eurodns.com/ and brain.

2.) Try to find .com domain first, use different words/synonyms combinations. Choose 3-5 best, write them down.

3.) Go with those new "cool" domain zones, use creativity, choose 3-5 best, write them down. Even if you go with .com - you still can get something similar to your main domain symbols like HN.pics for cookie-less static content domain.

4.) Write down all the results (~10 is enough), sort by "best".

5.) Don't buy fast! Leave it alone for a couple of days, let the idea get stronger. Tomorrow your yesterday "cool ideas" can look foolish.

6. If after a couple of days the idea is still looks good, - buy it!

Usually finding really good domain name is not about 3-5 hours, it takes a couple of days of brainstorming. Since your brain CPU is always working in background, solving problems unconsciously, - sometimes best ideas can suddenly come in strange places or during night ;)

This is untrue. First off, facial hair has different consistency (tougher, finer, curly, straight, etc.) and what may work for one person doesn't always work for someone else. Second, (as someone who has to shave every day) there's a vast and noticeable difference between safety cartridges; there are really bad ones out there.

Body is super important, but when you can craft a very good single line commit message, is not bad either. It is hard to find a balance but what I try to do is to reserve multi line commit messages for situations where it is appropriate to provide mode details compared to just "git show" the commit to check the actual content.
Neat! I like the idea of having both programmer and non-programmer customizability: it invites collaboration as well as people who start as non-programmers to expand their skills.

Side note: clever website domain (http://about.lillian.link/), I like it. The site itself is nice too, particularly the embedded video of Hypatia is much better than a long description.
