Turns out, I'm somewhere between "n^2" and "n" skillwise. Encouraging, but there's still some optimization to do ;-)
I think basic income is a bad idea, but if you liberated people from seeking jobs, many of them wouldn't live in overcrowded cities. If rent is too high in the bay area, you'd go live in Madison, Wisconsin. Or in a pre-fab house in the middle of nowhere.
Well, I'll respond, but you've gone orthogonal from my question - I'm not talking about tests. I'm talking about the notion that every person is born with approximately equal intelligence potential.

That being said...

It may be something "extremely important" but there's no way to have a discussion about every individual in the world. So unfortunately, I'm going to have to dismiss this as impossible and useless to the discussion. Sorry.

I've spent quite a lot of time recently chasing down papers about these huge social components to tests, and the impression I have at the moment (although I'm not done by a long shot) is that scientific surveys of this using data and rigorous analysis techniques show that what people consider test bias is actually at best bias outside the test, and most of the time, it's just shooting the messenger because the message is unpalatable. Many papers that claim to demonstrate that tests are biased nearly always concentrate on various interpretations of test wording but don't use any sort of empiricism to draw their conclusions.

But again, that's all orthogonal to my question.
For anyone curious, Disque is a synchronously replicated in-memory message broker/job queue that was designed to capture the essence of the "Redis as a jobs queue" use case.
By what mechanism does this work? We can trace the history of identity politics, from 60's and 70's counterculture, Marxist academics, feminism, until it became academic mainstream.

If this was on purpose, how did it happen? If not, how is it relevant anyway? Presumably if you can make a compelling case that what you consider to be the real issues are more important, people will make a rational choice to focus more on them.
Sounds like it wouldn't have done anything useful, especially compared to other missile defense strategies like SM-3 deployments.

"If the ABL had achieved its design goals, it could have destroyed liquid-fueled ICBMs up to 600 km away. Tougher solid-fueled ICBM destruction range would likely have been limited to 300 km, too short to be useful in many scenarios, according to a 2003 report by the American Physical Society on National Missile Defense."
Another reason for me is the cross-platform compatibility.
With git, I'm able to synchronize passwords across OSX and Linux machines,

LA entrepreneur looking for private office on the cheap
My little bootstrapping company has a private office available in our suite. It's just what a sole proprietor professional needs, and could be a great fit for somebody getting their business off the ground and in need of an office to meet clients in.

That's more or less how your suite mates are as well. We're a little entrepreneurial business bootstrapping ourselves along, so you'll be in successful and driven company.

There's a conference room you can make use of, a little refrigerator you can share with us, some storage cabinets that you can put some stuff in, a water cooler you can use, and you can also use our printer if you're willing to pitch in for paper and toner.

165 SF in the office, while the suite is a nice size including an entry area, a foyer, a couple of private offices, and the conference room.

Yes, I also have a register dedicated to the word size (4). Since these values are used so commonly, I felt that it didn't make sense to constantly have to load them manually.

You'll also notice that there is no move instruction. With the existence of the zero register, move becomes unnecessary because you can just do

add r1 ZR r2; Moves the contents of register r2 into r1.

There are a number of other similar situations where it makes sense to have zero handy all the time.
I don't condone the majority of it's movement, but the essential oils community would be head over heels for a device like this... their oils are in the tens to hundreds of dollars for a few milliliters, so they are naturally very concerned about the quality and makeup of their oils.

I'd imagine that a ~$50-$100 device+app would sell extremely well.
If someone's e.g. selling a poster of the Eiffel Tower at night, I think a lot of that poster's value derives from the efforts of the lighting artist.
Cool Thanks! Do you know if there are any plans to make a sample app on github for us to follow?

I'll try to do a rewrite of the example todo app using this for practice. Seems like I have a bit to read since this would seem to change the standard flow I'm currently using in my Flux pattern. Actually stumbled across this thread which gives some good reading as well - https://forums.meteor.com/t/meteorflux-flow/920/63.
That highlights a great point: on this simple decision rule, using random test data will draw the solution more quickly than human cleverness.
What about SmartOS? It's been container-native for, like, ten years and Joyent just recently added support for running Docker containers on bare metal.
And furthermore, you have less reason to do it in the first place.
Re: the Flynn effect. This also seems orthogonal to my question. It does not appear to postulate that all people are born with basically equal potential. The main implication seems to be that a variety of factors can have an impact, but it certainly does not preclude genetic differences.

Edit: also, this seems very focused on tests, which is explicitly not my purpose.

No you should develop a method that allow you to get things out of people. And one to figure out what they are talking about.
You can measure gross particulate levels with indication of sizing using something like this:

It all looks great. Could you perhaps license your test suite and maybe your libc stuff MIT? I understand if you want to keep your kernel and compiler under some license that still allows for commercial control (like GPL or some dual license scheme) but there's not much commercial value in the test suite and I think it could be of value to others :)

> There are auditing solutions to record all that, but the ones I know are (rightly) not really designed for building application logic on top of.

Yes, a big problem with table-level audits is that you lose all kinds of information about the other entities in the system. Sure, now you have an audit log of when a row was changed, but you don't really know anything about the state of all the other pieces of the database at that time, so you can't really usefully reconstruct what the entity looked like at the time it was modified.

In theory you could parse through the whole audit log to reconstruct the state of the DB but in practice it gets very complicated.
The main thing to remember with this is that even if you do end up with a % of people who do just bum around on basic, a lot more still would rather earn enough to live a more interesting life. And wages will probably go up to incentivize people to do the crap jobs - or encourage someone to find a way to automate it.

> Is it ok to have one record per hour with sixty columns for each minute ?

No. That's wasteful and makes many types of queries very hard to write.

A good way of storing the data is only storing change events. So for example, each time a stock ticker changes you store a new row with the timestamp and the new value for the stock. This achieves very high level of "compression" since most stocks values doesn't change every minute. But it depends on what kind of data you have.
It's a way to build a multispectral imager out of a CCD imager, with lots of different narrow-band filters over different pixels. Humans have 3 color sensors; some birds have 22, which helps in recognizing specific plants. This is more useful if it extends outside the human visual range, into IR and UV.

Applications are somewhat limited. It's useful for forensics [1], farming (weed and sick plant identification)[2], and some kinds of industrial inspection. For farmers, it's more useful on a drone than on a smartphone; they can fly over the fields and look for trouble spots.

I don't get how some people seem to think that there's only two possible political systems in the world.

When I say redistributive, I mean things like progressive taxation, estate taxes, and basic income. In terms of median household income, the US places 6th in the world (and dropping), behind 5 countries whose taxation systems are significantly more progressive, so I dispute your claim of "equal levels of misery":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_household_income

I really do understand that incentives matter, and that progressive taxation is also progressively disincentivizing. However, the countries in the world that have a better quality of life for the majority of their people are to the left of America, not to the right. And I'm more swayed by data than abstract economic theories.

WordPress!

Developer and designer (5+ years), work out of my own shop, HetaThemes. Flagship theme is MidLaw, a WordPress theme for small to mid-sized law firms.

Primarily develop, design, and customize WordPress themes, or convert PSD designs or HTML/CSS/jQuery to WordPress. I'm also building an app and run my own server (Ubuntu) as a hobby.

I've worked on complex sites for digital agencies (30+ templates, 25+ plugins), as well as on smaller sites for small businesses/individuals (10 templates, 10 plugins). References available.

Technologies I use: PHP, HTML, CSS/LESS, jQuery, WordPress, mySQL, Foundation, Bootstrap, SVN or Git for version control, Sifter for issue tracking, HipChat to keep in touch with clients. Self-taught and resourceful.

Reach out to me at: hn [at] heta [dot] co (not com). I can send you links to live sites I've designed and developed, sites I've converted to WP, etc.

Thanks for your consideration.
It would be interesting to compile an analysis of exactly such sentences. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that judges do hand down harsher sentences precisely because law enforcement officers should know better. I think there are many impediments to prosecuting corruption, but once it gets to sentencing, my gut instinct is that it's not easy on the guilty.
Almost all the wealthy people I know did it through a combination of real estate and small businesses too. Only a few came directly from anything technology based.

I don't necessarily think the web is saturated it is more that the tech media and places like HN have a small but very active community and so things seem very crowded. I personally intentionally sought out a lot of the traditional companies to consult with because I knew they have been underserved and frankly not well appreciated by the general tech community. Sure, lots of SaaS solutions get built but many times they are 65% of what the company needs etc, and with a little extra help and integration work we can give them a cost effective, 98% solution that they can live with and helps them make more money. It comes with challenges though too as these same small businesses can be a challenge to work with at times more than a startup or an enterprise client, so its not a panacea by any means.

Personally, I have been diversifying for years and working to acquire real estate and work in markets that have little to do with technology as a core. Not because I don't love the tech industry, I just am playing the odds, diversifying and doing stuff that I love so it all works out for me. Plus something appeals to me at some level not to be behind a computer day in and day out the rest of my life.

I figured that the license doesn't really matter for now, since I don't expect anyone to actually use this for production code (there are still quite a few bugs, and it is not very user friendly). A couple people have brought up the licensing, so I may give that some attention. I was considering Apache 2.0. Any opinions?

The point is you can have a subset of people in a population with a specific genetic defect that limit intelligence. However, as long as the rates of people with said defects are similar the existence of such outliers has no relative impact on two populations.

You are totally avoiding the argument by throwing in "convenient".

I don't work in 3D graphics but it seems challenging to me because of the fluid dynamics. Fire is very low density gas rushing upward into the moderate density air - and even if you can do all the fluid dynamic calculations to render the boundary of the flame, you also have to render the light it's throwing onto the surrounding surfaces. I have no idea how close technology can come at this moment but I'm not surprised the answer is "not close enough for prime time".

Hi Antirez, always nice to use and see work from a good professional and outstanding community member. Whenever I saw people using Redis as a queue server, it was mainly for two reasons: 1) they were already using Redis and it had the right primitives, 2) it was dead simple to setup and use (compared to rabbitmq, for example).

One guy that I think is often overlooked is beanstalkd (https://github.com/kr/beanstalkd), especially with regards to 2). Have you ever taken a look at the project and if so, how do you think it compares to your vision for Disque?

I have dealt with this scenario before. The type of data is called "slowly changing dimension" or SCD. SCDs might never change, or change daily. It all depends on the business logic. To implement this tracking, I have seen row-level historical snapshots for auditing and dimension-level tables to track the less-important dimension changes. For health data, row-level snapshots with a key generated from the data might be most appropriate. For data that has less legal implications, a table that has "id", "dimension value", and "timestamp" may be enough. From that, using from advanced SQL, you can even produce dimension time intervals. An example where that would be useful is tracking the average time a support ticket spends in "Waiting on Customer" or a call spends waiting in queue to be answered.

I'd prefer an example along the lines of:

for(i = j; i < j + 2; i++) {}

With your example it's easy to lose the distinction between "would eventually terminate if you had a fast computer and a lot of time" and "never terminates even in theory." Here, it definitely looks like it should always run two iterations to matter what the numbers are (as long as they're finite), but it doesn't.

Either way, though, it is definitely hilarious!
