To formulate this a little more nicely, I might say instead that there is a real need for "intimate" languages, just as there is a need for "collaborative" languages.

As an example, the shells on my personal machines are often customized beyond the comprehension of anyone who isn't me, with tons of two-letter aliases and bash functions, cryptic environment variables, and a $PATH that's several terminal lines long, filled with labrythine symlinks and oneliners that I've accumulated over the years. Many people have similarly elaborate and impenetrable emacs configurations.

That's fine, since this is my personal environment, but at work (I'm a sysadmin, more or less) I'm still able to use more-or-less bash, and even write portable shell scripts that eschew bash-isms. Similarly, all that horrible e-lisp powering super-personalized workflows doesn't prevent someone from writing an emacs mode that they can share with others, the point being that a language that enables customization is great, because you can always just not do that and write code that others will find comprehensible.

Conversely, if your language forces you to write in a collaborative style, you can't gain efficiencies in your private use of it.
The way I see it is:

* NTP Pool welcomes open source projects to use their servers

* They want vendors to register a vendor prefix

so there are two options, either systemd is a vendor, and can register and use systemd.pool.ntp.org, or it isn't, and can use pool.ntp.org
The app has a field for "justification" and in the examples, some of them are:

> Chinese webmail users

> Iranian webmail users

Oh.
I think there's a lot of possible advances in optimizing the training of neural networks.

(My suspicions is that the initial layers can be "frozen" or trained separately, low-level features are pretty much the same for most images, also, maybe someone will figure out a way of merging several NNs in one, so you can paralelnize the whole training)

This presentation is only one small example.
When programmers see a terminal, they tend to see it in terms of the freedom and flexibility it provides. To everyone else, it looks broken, primitive and weird.

But most modern frameworks and CMS platforms seem to take for granted that everyone moved on from FTP to git ages ago, which isn't the case.
They hint at withholding data ("The same logic applies when it comes time to splitting our data into training and validation sets"), though they don't outright mention cross-validation. Seems like a bit of an oversight for an article about building ML models, I agree, but the article seems like it's mostly surface-level.
There are also sometimes burdensome regulations about who is allowed to host an arcade in terms of zoning (usually put in place as an anticompetitive measure, local ordinance). I know some people that had to deal with that.
Are there any plans to do another office hours session? Would be interested in getting Kevin's feedback in particular on my startup FocusGroupIt (https://focusgroupit.com).
Arcades staged a mini-comeback in the mid to late 90s, because of fighting games. Home consoles offered arcade perfect translations of those same games, but people came in droves.

Online play is probably what killed it off again. I think when there's a reason for people to show up somewhere to play games, they will.

That's exactly my problem: they screwed their customers, who stand to loose a lot of money (good for them, although this might include my own pension fund, who knows). And they screwed the other EU countries (so I'm already paying for this). And they screwed the Greek people with an expensive financing scheme that was only designed to obfuscate/hide things.

And yet there are no consequences to GS, they are not exposed at all.

Yeah, I didn't mean to suggest that I like the TPP. You're right about the power given to corporate entities being something to fight against.

> the world is certainly largely run by a group of individuals in power

This reminds me of an observation I once read - that there's no surprise those on top can look like they form a club even if they represent opposite spectrum on political scene; after all they studied at the same universities and probably know each other from the campus.

However, I'm not sure if the world is really shaped that much by conscious will of small group of individuals. As one blog puts it, "Almost No One is Evil. Almost Everything is Broken". It feels to me that a system of misaligned incentives is enough to explain most of the ways in which the world seems to evolve.

> The TPP makes me think of the Shadowrun timeline and the progression to extraterritoriality for corporations around the 2020s and 2030s.

Gotta check out Shadowrun, I haven't had a chance before :).

sorry, lenders operate under the principal that states do not default and do we really want them to operate otherwise?

If not GS then the IMF or some other organization would have been coerced to loan Greece money. Greece has been betting on the idea that the EU could not afford and would not allow them to implode.

When they got called on it they went into blackmail mode. Worse they set up a force failure by locking down bank transfers for the week. This means no one can do business, you cannot pay for what is being shipped and cannot place orders for more. Why would any EU company trust a Greek purchaser to pay now?

What must really happen is Greece must right size their government, pensions, employees, and military, to what they can afford and quit pretending its evil mean bankers that caused their plight. Oh they might have helped by lending money but Greece never would put forth serious effort to constrain spending.

The austerity the claim to suffer is applied the same way all politicians apply political pressure. By depriving those who already have no voice of essential services while making sure they themselves, their cronies, and supporters, don't suffer or as much.

They have been for a long time now. Apps are commonly written in Java, Javascript, scripting in lua, python, etc. The only thing they don't allow is executable pages of memory, which the Go previously required due to it's runtime.

No, the problem is that selfish moves are looked down upon. Ignore that all moves are selfish, at their root, but if you're acting purely to end your own experience without considering the consequences, that is by definition selfish.
Ask HN: Reasonable equity to ask for
Hello HN,

I joined a startup about 8 months ago as a software engineer. I was the only developer on the team at the time until we hired someone to help me out around 2 months ago. The founders have been working in the company for almost a year before I joined but on a separate product which didn't generate much revenue and wasn't a huge success.

I have been getting paid for the past 2 months at a small fraction of my normal salary (2k where I can easily make 8k a month) as the company got accepted to an incubator. I put in ~100 a week in the past 2 months and ~40 for the past 6 months. I didn't sign any contracts with them though so the IP rights of the code remains with me.

The founders have been mainly idea people and focused on business aspect of the company. They promised me equity back when we started but we never put into writing. They each have invested 15k of their own personal money in the company though.

I brought up the equity and they didn't like the idea and they said they have to analyze different things.

I'm wondering what is a reasonable equity demand? I'm expected to take the role of CTO in the company. I have the following options:

- Go without equity which is ridiculous

- Demand for equity and if they didn't give it to me, I'll quit and continue working on the project on my own. (they don't have any access to the code and I'm not under contract; also they don't have enough money to take legal action)

- Stick with whatever equity they offer although I'm not sure how much I should ask for.

I think anything below 25% is not reasonable.

UPDATE

- If I quit that is going to delay the launch by at least a year.

- There is another developer on the team (he is not receiving any equity) and I can easily convince him to quit and help me out.
I come from the world of biostatistics, where diagnostic tests are usually measured in terms of Sensitivity (probability of Predicting Evil, given actually Evil, same as Precision) and Specificity (probability of predicting Not Evil, given actually Not Evil). What is the reason for choosing to balance Precision/Recall, versus Sensitivity/Specificity? They are definitely similar, so why prefer one tradeoff versus the other?
The trial at this point is entirely about copyright, not patents
I use CodeMap[1] which is a kind of google maps but where the countries are the code, and CodeGraph[2] which helps to understand code dependencies at different granularities (package, module, files, functions).

Unfortunately this doesn't handle the libc++ case, which needs #include <memory> even in C++03.

What I ended up doing is something like this:

// Ensure that _LIBCPP_VERSION is defined if necessary
#include <ciso646>

#if defined(_LIBCPP_VERSION) || __cplusplus > 199711L
// C++11 or libc++
#include <memory>
using std::shared_ptr;
#else
// C++03 or libstdc++
#include <tr1/memory>
using std::tr1::shared_ptr;
#endif
I used to use BootStrap, but now I've been using Semantic-UI.

As mostly a backend engineer I appreciate how well-documented, consistent and easy to use this package is.

I never find myself fighting the layout engine or scratching my head over confusing (or missing) documentation. The community is great and the maintainer/developer behind it is fantastic.

Give it a shot!
First, there's the currency (the euro), and the political and economic union (the EU). There's a lot of overlap, but they're not the same.

There's a lot of debate about Greece and the euro, and while the current Greek government was elected on a platform of staying in the Euro, right now Greece is rapidly heading towards being ejected from it. But there's no real prospect (for now, anyhow) of them leaving the EU.

> why it would be a bad idea to just kick Greece out of the EU?

If you mean the EU, well, nobody really wants them to exit the Euro, but nobody wants them to exit the EU. It would also be ridiculously illegal; there's literally no process by which a country might be ejected.

If you mean the Euro, well, that's an interesting question. The general consensus is that Greek exit would hurt the remaining members and Greece fairly severely; a real case of cutting off your nose to spite your face. Some have suggested (and I agree) that a Greek exit would be worse for the remaining Euro-members than it would be for Greece.

> What's wrong with some good old anarchy

We're talking about people lives; pensions, savings, jobs, dreams. I don't think your flippancy is really appropriate. In any case the victims of a Greek exit won't be politicians and bankers; it will be ordinary people, in and outside of Greece.

> lynching a few dozen former politicians who led the Greeks to this abyss

I don't think you understand politics.

> Why not let them reap what they sowed

For EU leaders, this isn't about Greece, it's about the Euro and the greater project of European integration. They don't want Greece out of the Euro, and they sure as hell don't want them out of the EU. What they want is to keep Greece in the EU, without pissing off their voters too much. It looks like, at the moment, Greece will exit the EU despite what people want.
If we changed __cplusplus before implementing every single C++11 feature, the Internet would riot.
> To formulate this a little more nicely, I might say instead that there is a real need for "intimate" languages, just as there is a need for "collaborative" languages.

That's a... way of putting it I've never seen before. I'll remember the concept of "intimate" vs. "collaborative" language for the future.

Personally, even though I write a lot of Lisp and live inside Emacs, my environment seems to be quite... standard. The "collaborative" mindset is emphasized in pretty much every programming book out there, and I must have acquired this kind of weird fear of overcustomizing my environment thanks to it.
They've been doing that for ages already.

Please do at least a cursory bit of research before commenting about an area you're clearly not familiar with! It will save a lot of time, and prevent FUD like this from continuing to spread.
Just one minor quibble: the reason we have density issues in cities is not that Earth doesn't have enough space for humans to spread out -- even if we only count the nice parts.

No, the answer is that we actually seem to enjoy living in really dense clusters and spend a premium on trying to pile more and more people in to the mess. (Well, there's some argument that wealthy people have had an undue influence on the societal process of urbanization, but that's digressing.)

Other than that, I actually think that arcades are posed to make a comeback, precisely because of the issue you highlight: the only way to have enough open space in a building (in a major city) to really walk around in requires splitting the rent or being really wealthy.

Right now I'm sure there's other things that take higher priority they need to get out the door. LDAP in particular would be much later in their product development cycle.
I consider that very little. For comparison, Argentina defaulted on over twice that amount in 2002 (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentine_debt_restructuring). It also seems fairly likely at this point that many of the remaining private holders are non-banks that purchased the debt at a considerable discount to par, but that's speculation on my part.

It seems safe to say that the impact of the Greek default, at least as far as direct financial/economic matters are concerned, is going to be very limited. As far as the private sector is concerned, the damage has already been done.
Hopefully this results in improved syntax highlighting for Ruby.

Anyone know of any ongoing efforts in this area?
I was wondering myself if additional radio stations would be added over time. The format of Beats 1 has been great so far IMO, but it has been rap / r&b / pop so far which for sure doesn't appeal to the masses.

If they can come up with a lineup that even comes close to half of what Sirius XM offers, music wise, they've got my subscription. The DJ's on BPM / Electric Area are great when they're on, but the filler content gets really old, really fast. I can almost predict exactly what song will be on during my work commute, every day.

(And they're iPhone app sucks.)
Maybe not the same, but I feel like nim (http://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html#templates) can have a comparable power ot redefining itself. But I'm absolutely not an expert neither in any lisp nor in nim so I can't really tell.
For those who just want to read about it, see http://nommu.org/

At first I was wondering if this was about http://riscv.org/ but it is not.

* You can write part of your app in Go

* You can share that code across your Android and iOS apps?
