Sanders? An admitted Socialist? How about Rand Paul? Someone that has actually fought on the right side of issues important to the HN community. Sanders actually supports an 80% tax rate. If you want an economy that resembles Romania in the 1980s, vote for Sanders. If you want freedom, vote Rand Paul. Democrat values are inconsistent with entrepreneurial. They want to disincentivize success with higher taxes and they want to subsidize failure through increased government handouts. If you want less of something tax it. If you want more of something, subsidize it. under Obama, food stamps have quadrupled. Black unemployment is higher than it was under Bush and wage growth is non existent. Look at economic charts from 2002-2014 make note of what party was in control of Congress and thus the budget. Look at Clinton's economic performance during the 1990; correlate that to the party controlling Congress. It's fascinating.

Research Cheis Dodd's role in Congredd during 2006-2008. See what Bush was warning about in terms of the housing market and what the Democrat response was when Bush warned about Fannie/Freddie instability. He was essentially laughed at by Chris Dodd and friends.

This instinctive anti-Reublicann sentiment is depressing because it seems like the Democrat marketing machine has done a good job obfuscating the issues. Whenever someone gets close to real scrutiny of the issues, they conveniently pull 'racism' or 'war on women' out of a hat. Meanwhile, I bet a majority of Americans can tell you the name of the Charleston shooter but have no idea what percentage they paid in Federal income tax or payroll taxes last year. Rand Paul released his tax proposal and more people seem to be concerned about a stupid flag. These supposedly 'big' news stories aren't that important. They're distractions. Who gives a flying -- what race that white NAACP lady was? Who cares what comic book the Charleston shooter read when he was 15? Distractions. Give them bread and circuses..
Correct. That book, over time, changed a lot of things.
You might benefit from more strafing.
Same goes for optimizations, where we assume 80% of the time is spent in 20% of the code.

We just finished profiling our 1M LOC C++ codebase and it shows even more extreme numbers; we hit close to 95% of the time spent in 5% of the code.

Yes, I would have to agree with you regarding your point.
Neither the title here nor the article itself claim it to be his first book, only an incredibly influential one.

The article even agrees with you:

> §3 sets out a radically revised structure for transformational grammars, quietly abandoning the notion of “kernel sentence” from Chomsky’s first book, Syntactic Structures, and introducing the term “deep structure,” which in a sense replaces it.
My experience is from Australia. The system is probably different from the UK, but there might also be some similarities.

I did a quick search and found that the UK also has a distributed version of the AU Research Training Scheme. Have you contacted the postgraduate student organisations, talked to your intended supervisor? You might have to defer for a year to save up enough to fund your year of research. BTW, once you get involved in your research work it is extremely hard to hold down a job as well.

Ah yes, the old "bad fit" chestnut. What employers never mention, however, is that when candidates are foolish enough to open up about what they want, they're often pushed away as "not a good fit for the company/team".
Hi, I think we are playing with words and context here so I will leave it here.

The quote is in a context and says LXD uses LXCs low level api. It does not say 'LXC is a low level api'.

How does one conclude that from the quote and take it out of context without misleading readers? Any one with a remote awareness of LXC will know that's erroneous. Do you still think your comment was accurate?

Have you used LXC, are you familiar with LXC beyond the quote, are you interested in having an informed discussion on LXC and containers? There has be a basis for informed discussion.

But mobile is changing everything. I don't have a fixed phone in my house, I use my mobile phone. I don't use one of the two expensive DSLRs in my house, I use my phone. In two months recently in the US, I never hailed a cab, but used an app to hail and track a car. I read books on my phone, I edit photos on my phone, I track site analytics and app sales on my phone, I play games on my phone, I navigate using maps on my phone, I record notes on my phone.

I switched from a desktop to a laptop three machines and 10+ years ago. Never considered buying a desktop since. Modern mobile devices (Surface-style tablet/laptop hybrids) are very capable these days and not far away from the MBP I use. Once phone-form-factor devices are more powerful and we have virtual displays and a keyboard replacement, the needle will shift further. That level of capability will cover almost everyone who uses a computer for work.

Don't get me wrong, I don't work on my phone. I feel cramped with less than three monitors. I like to spread out. But I also like to scrawl notes pencil on paper, and that doesn't mean that computers haven't taken over the offices of decades past.

And there's no denying that the mobile form factor - a computer that you carry around with you easily - is dominating and will go further. Someone who doesn't have a use one will be a blip.
Gladly:

Very cool. My only concern is if you have a screen with a lower resolution (1366 X 768), the drawer with the source code causes the user controls to be hidden, so it's not immediately obvious that those controls exist.

OK, I'll take a stab:

The Fourier transform is basically taking a signal, and correlating it against sinusoids of increasing frequency and unity amplitude. Each point along the x axis of the new signal is the result of the correlation for that frequency (x being frequency in this coordinate system).

The transform is used when you want to analyse the frequency content of a signal - useful when trying to determine frequency filters or bandwidth needs to transmit the signal, for example.

Edit: (because I hit send too soon)
I've always found the purely mathematical explanation to be easier to understand than explanations involving rotating circles or whatever. As a bonus, you can directly derive the formula from the description, and things like Fourier series are a logical extension.
Thank you, I'll take a look for that scheme.

I have contacted the University organisations, my application was a little late so I had missed a lot of funding opportunities that go early but applied for anything that was available and spoke to my supervisor for departmental funding. Unfortunately, there isn't a lot going this year on that level due to changes in the system it seems.

The original plan has been to have enough saved to cover the very basic living costs and then small bar/shop job for anything extra. There is no way I could work my current job with full-time research on top, that for sure :)
Every time? Hyperbolize much? Bush and the John Adams family are the only families to have more than 1 President in them. How about we stick to facts? As far as "only country in the world.." How many countries of the world have Royal families? How many of those were elected? Someone explain why the British Royal family gets a single pound in tax-payer money. What does the King of Sweden actually do again?

Let's be intellectually consistent instead of just bashing the U.S. because it's fashionable.

Actually it does make a practical difference but I would argue in favor of the electric razor.

Ever wonder why it itches in those first couple of weeks if you decide to grow your beard out?

Look at that picture.

Shaving with a straight-blade razor basically leaves a bunch of tiny little hypodermic needles behind. When those suckers start growing out, they curl back into your face and start jabbing you, resulting in that annoying itching sensation.

If you want to grow your beard out, take my advice and make your last shave with an electric razor, it's a lot more comfortable.
This could have interesting implications for Field Day (http://www.arrl.org/field-day), pushing people into the higher frequency bands if the event isn't over by then.
Maybe all those are possible mobile; but just not very good. Edit a photo? For real? With one finger? Books one paragraph at a time? That's gotta be slow. Games - not immersive 3d ones, maybe dumb puzzle games or side-scrollers with a tiny part of the screen visible at one time. And navigation is very hard on a phone - turn-by-turn is the norm, which totally blows any global awareness and turns you into a cog. I can't see enough map on a phone to even begin to plan a route.

I'm heavily biased - I can't exist without 2 large screens, mouse and keyboard for what I use a computer for. But from my point of view every attempt to use a mobile device ends in frustration and despair - they are so slow, such a tiny bandwidth for interaction, information comes in droplets. I'm unwilling to dumb myself down to their level.

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
float a = 12.5;
printf("%d\n", a);
printf("%d\n", *(int *)&a);
return 0;
}

This program invokes undefined behaviour when it casts float\* to int\*, so technically it could print anything, or do something else. I'm not sure how using memcpy instead would impact the puzzle's point though.
Yeah in a feature branch it's also reasonable. `git yolo` is also nice.
Twitter acquires artificial intelligence startup Whetlab
So very true. And I struggle with this. "Why should I write something out when tools could do it for me? Isn't me specifying it, then, just me being overly verbose?" But tools often don't - and may never.

I'm curious:

In any tool for any revision control system ever: in a list of commits, are the commit messages augmented with something useful beyond the basics? ("Basics" being e.g. the first 'n' characters of the human-provided commit message, a revision identifier, a timestamp, and a username.)
It does affect readability! That's the reason we have punctuation rules in human languages.

Maybe it doesn't have any effect when reviewing _one_ commit message, but when you're reading a list of hundreds, or thousands of them, it does have a huge impact.

This messages are meant to be consumed by humans, as in natural language. So it should respect the rules / conventions of that natural language.

The same way when we write code we should respect the coding style of the code base we are working on, we should respect the style conventions of the natural languages. Because of the same reasons.
Technically, it will print the first N bytes of the float as an int. Where N is the number of bytes ints compile to on the platform. So with knowledge of the platform, the result is entirely predictable.
I don't have to shave very often (once or twice a week), so the price and convenience of not having to remember to buy something I already don't think about very much is great. They deliver the 6 pack of blades once every other month or so and I'll often pause it if I get a backlog of blades.

I can't really speak to the quality of said blades or the shave, since I'm pretty sure 14 year old boys shave more than I do. But I've never experienced a painful shave as others have.

How about: if your message doesn't fit into a single sentence, the commit is too big. Split it. If it's a huge architectural change merged from another branch, describe it in a separate document referenced in the message.

9. The weak Goldbach conjecture. Back in 1742, Christian Goldbach (like Fermat, a mathematician-and-lawyer who made a famous long-unsolved conjecture in number theory) wrote in a letter to Euler that he thought every even number bigger than 2 could be written as a sum of two prime numbers. (E.g., 4=2+2; 6=3+3; 8=3+5; 10=3+7; 12=5+7.) Everyone believes this is true; there are good heuristic arguments why it "should" be true; but proving it is really hard. Like the abc conjecture, this is another one about the interplay between the additive and multiplicative structure of the integers. One method that's been used to attack the Goldbach conjecture is the "Hardy-Littlewood circle method", which is useful for a whole lot of other kinda-similar problems in number theory; it's kinda-sorta an application of Fourier transforms to number theory. It was used back in the 1930s to prove the following statement, which is weaker in two ways: All large enough odd numbers are the sum of three prime numbers. (Note that if GC is true then so is this; if even=prime+prime then even+3=prime+prime+3.) What Helfgott has now done is to show that "large enough" means "bigger than 5" (which is the best that could possibly be done, since 5 is too small to be the sum of three primes). He did it by refining the "circle method". Getting from here to the full Goldbach conjecture is still going to require major new ideas; there are somewhat-well-understood obstacles to using this method to prove GC itself.

Its defensible to adopt an abbreviated style suitable for the context of oneliner commits in a long report. Nobody uses natural language when creating other textual reports like that - e.g. log messages, checkbook register, ships' log. They all have an encoded style unrelated to natural language.
For short block lengths, R-S codes and turbo codes have similar performance (but turbo codes are harder to design). I think the patents on turbo codes have expired.
I don't think so. The inverse, 93% of razor cartridges, aren't from them. So you're far more likely to not even have one friend who uses them.

Not exactly. The actual commit content is in the code difference. Code message is just some kind of human-readable abstract, or at least - a hit of what was changed.

There is a big deal of subjectivity (e.g. what is a bug, and what is a feature) but (as with any comments in the code) it is nice to see at least what was intended (e.g. someone wanted to position a misaligned button, or added it, or improved its visuals or optimized its click from O(n!) to O(1), ...).
But with an ordinary bottle, the edge is the point (if I may), because if a bottle had no edge, couldn't it be said that has just one ordinary surface?

So in fact, what I understand so far is:

- a (hollow) sphere has two surfaces, one inside and one outside, and you can't connect one to the other (you can't walk from one to the other)

- a potato, or a bowl also have the same properties: two distinct surfaces

- a bottle is not a special kind of bowl, it's more of a broken sphere (an egg the top of which has been removed) so that both surfaces (in and out) are accessible (but disjoint)

- to make a true bottle out of a bowl one needs to somehow "collapse" the inner and outer surfaces (therefore creating an edge)

- if you make a bottle that has a hollow space between the inside and the outside (think Thermos), then you actually have three surfaces

Is this correct?

My mother bought an iPad at the age of 67. She's not remotely technical - before she got a mac, I'd routinely get support calls of the quality "help! microsoft isn't working!", where 'microsoft' meant anything from Word to a browser to, well, anything. Anyway, the ipad was used for about a month, then plonked on a shelf to gather dust as she went back to her macbook.

As a naif and something of a technophobe, she definitely did benefit from moving from Windows to OSX (back in the late XP days), but iOS left her cold.

Yes, that's the Star Trek vision he explains in the beginning. This doesn't answer the question of why the author in the end of his argument suddenly says that "Robots [...] [delivering] it to you wherever you want" would result in job/money problems. Logic would say that with the need for trade there is no need for money and with robots producing everything for you there is no need for you to work.

Not at all. Even IBM Deep Blue chess computer relied heavily on opening and ending chess databases. It's a common thing.

Also does the app rely on a server to do the processing? As many F2P and online games do.
Also, even if it doesn't affect you, that is completely irrelevant for the project. A project should be oblivious to any one developer's preferences. Successful software projects thrive on conventions that affect the whole project. People do what's implicitly or explicitly agreed on, a person can't just ignore rules he doesn't see the value of.

People generally accept that when it's about coding conventions. Commit messages are just another convention. The rules are not arbitrary, in fact, if you read the Linux commit style guide, it will try to explain the value of the conventions.

If you still don't get it, or you disagree, too bad. Conventions are much more important that individual opinions. If you prefer spaces, you'd better start using tabs when you want to contribute to the Linux kernel.

(By you I meant, of course, some abstract person who doesn't see the value of certain rules, not kolme who I am responding to).
