I give up, because you clearly don't see my point. Your using a narrow, essentially academic definition for "[CR]ISC" to justify a real-world sounding argument with terms like "die area" and "power" and "decode". That's insane, sorry.

Last time, then I'm gone: "AArch64 is a simpler RISC ISA architecture" is true, and "AArch64 CPUs have simpler decode units" is false, yet you seem to be arguing the former as evidence for the latter.

Oh yeah, all jokes were at the expense of someone else. Oh well. I remember the days of me farming beholders using my small army of dragons. Good times. Really hard to get past 90 taming!

For anyone who don't know, dragons are incredibly powerful. They could easily slaughter you, and your friends. Usually took like 4 mages to take it down... OR you could tame it. And then you use your dragon to kill other dragons. Though you may end up having to feed it the body parts of your fallen player victims.

And on that note, PVP was the most fun part about it. No other game was quite like it. All players run at a constant speed. And hitting a player wasn't exactly easy. To really kill someone you had to get a group of people, lower the enemy's stamina by at least 1 point so he could not "shove" you out of the way, and surround him on all 8 sides (4 + 4 diagonal) and then finally kill him. Battles were either a mage/warriors combo with tactics, or a jousting match.

Oh and the ol' saying of "don't bring to a battle anything you can't afford to lose" was VERY true in UO. You die, you lose everything. So don't bring expensive armor! Often you go into a battle. Fight, lose some armor and weapons, quickly teleport home, get your 2nd (or 8th set), go fight, find a dead guy (or a teammate's kill) steal his weapons, and then continue the fight wearing someone else's armor / guild colors. It was was a ton of fun.
I don't know about tourists per capita but they're certainly significantly larger cities so most individual events don't cause the huge spike in hotel prices that something like an Oracle or a Salesforce show causes in San Francisco. That said, San Francisco is pretty expensive these days even if there isn't a huge show on just because of overall demand.

In general, public transportation in San Francisco isn't very good although it's really not very good to get to the Javits in New York either. However, the Fisherman's Wharf area and Nob Hill aside aside I'm not sure there's a huge amount of hotel capacity in San Francisco outside of a 10-15 minute walk to the convention center anyway.
It's worth noting that you can mount very simple SOAP services in .Net (doesn't mean that people do)... WCF for example gives a lot of ways to mount your services together, or separately.

That said, I've never really been a fan of SOAP in general, and WS-(death)* is painful in any system. Funny enough, I've found node.js to be the easiest middle-man to coerce into using different services as a gateway, and it's my go-to when a wsdl doesn't import cleanly into a .Net project, and just define my own JSON/REST interface in front of the foreign services for the parts I need.

AD integration is particularly painful, and pretty much only works in IIS, in that case, I'd lean towards writing a shim in ASP.Net MVC exposing JSON endpoints, in a similar fashion.
Yeah, I see that now. I originally read the article on my phone and didn't pay much attention to the pictures / couldn't tell it was a Rocket. Anyways, I'm familiar with UBNT's products as we use them extensively at $work. My point wasn't so much about what frequency to use but that using something like this means having to get in and set it up somewhere.

Instead, using, e.g., an NSM2, you can connect to any open access point that you can hear (and that can hear you) and wouldn't require getting in some place and connecting a device to their network. That, it seems, would significantly increase your chances of getting caught.

Also, take UBNT's claims about the AirFiber with a grain of salt. Our real-world results with them were less than stellar (although I know of others for whom they work quite well). We bought two links before they were even shipping and ended up taking them down and selling both of them shortly after they were deployed. (Also, are they really $400 now? We paid, if memory serves, about $2,000 each for ours.)

I was very surprised to read of John Vincent Atanasoff out at Iowa State this morning. He had a tremendous impact and I hadn't ever heard of him.

Yeah building on top of Electron makes sense. As far as Linux goes I'd give it some time. If it's anything like Atom it'll be opened sourced so Linux support can be added (if anything specific even needs to be done). Their primary customers use Windows and Mac OS X so it makes sense to me to target those first.

Just curious about this sentence:

> There are package managers out there that are cleanly factored from the underlying OS (Homebrew, Nix) but they aren’t typically used in Docker images.

I agree that Homebrew is probably not useful. It's cleanly factored from the OS, but it's still pretty Mac-centric.

Nix, however, lots of Linux packages. Why didn't consider using it, rather than starting over?
Packetzoom | San Mateo | Full-Time | VISA (H-1B transfers ok)

Contact jobs@packetzoom.com or connect with me (Founder/CEO) personally using one of the methods in my profile.

Mobile Networks are different. And yet we continue using the same legacy protocol stack (TCP/HTTP/SSL) to connect mobile devices to the cloud. If you want to help change that, come join us.

Packetzoom is rethinking the whole stack from the ground up. You get to hack network and/or security protocols, innards of mobile operating systems and build a global distributed system around brand new protocols. It's a very small (but well funded) team so everyone contributes in everything. We're looking for a senior all-round engineering leaders to round out the core team.

PACKETZOOM ENGINEERING LEADER

If you have shipped products or built services where you (at least) actually had to deal with unix at the syscall level (either in the userspace or kernel) in C/C++ code, we want to talk to you. If you were responsible for shipping and maintaining the product for a few years, we really want to talk to you.

You'd be joining a small, elite team of other misfits who build and run the PacketZoom protocol (https://packetzoom.com/learn.html) on millions of mobile client devices (iOS, Android and any others we decide to pursue) as well as our globally distributed cluster of servers running our own C++ and java code, while harvesting and processing millions of mobile perf data points in realtime while squeezing every last ounce of performance out of the hardware. If that sounds like fun to you, please do connect.

We're venture funded and have paying customers. Compensation will be market appropriate for your level and startups at our stage.
There have been rumours of government capability to do this for some time. For example, to use false voice messages for Radar instructions to enemy fighters etc. Interesting to see it in the commercial space.
That's pretty reasonable, lower cost hotels in NYC would probably be in outer boroughs, which to SF would be completely different cities like Oakland, San Mateo, San Jose, Santa Clara, etc..

It's fairly common for both business and vacation travelers to stay in Oakland and commute.
The operating systems have plenty of knowledge about how CPU power management works. They are hampered somewhat by how things like Turbo Boost are implemented in a backwards-compatible way through ACPI P-states that can't directly convey this information, but it's still pretty straightforward for an OS to support even more complicated schemes like ARM's big.LITTLE.

The real problem is that the OS seldom has enough information about the software workload to know whether it is better run on all cores, or just a few at higher clocks. It falls to application developers to not spawn more worker threads than are necessary.

Why is there a consistent drive in the industry to invent new buzzwords and apply untested, complicated ways of working?

The compromise you have to make to have a micro service architecture doesn't make sense for anyone else other than Google or Amazon or extremely large organizations.

Even with such architecture in place, you are going to end up with far more overhead by using microservices, it simply isn't the case that by isolating individual components into functions, you suddenly get productivity.

It just infuriates me when engineers or product managers bored with their job constantly invent buzzwords to confuse, increase complexity, end up failing, and back to just regular old boring tech.

If it ain't broke don't fix it. Why the fuck would you want to now have 100 different API end points to do something that would've taken less than 50 or so lines of code? This doesn't make sense for 99% of software companies out there.

Nvent is looking for several people who have either installed, upgraded or migrated a Big Data Solution. Must have a background as a Systems Administrator who has current experience in Hadoop.

Do you want to help companies get Big Data Installed? Do you want to help companies who have never seen Big Data? Big Data is now in the beginning stages and you can be a part of it. We are helping companies throughout the US install Big Data and we need you to help us do it.

You can live anywhere in the US, we will not make you relocate. You will travel to the client site (Monday-Thursday) and then return home for the long weekend. We pay for all travel expenses. When you are not on assignment then you train and keep your skills up to date. We provide you with all the tools to train in the latest Big Data Tools. We also will help you get your certifications too. We are a team and you will work with a group of people who live for Big Data, because that is all we do.

Migrations and Installs are also part of the job as well. We want to make sure that the current Hadoop Community stays current. If you have the skills to help companies understand Big Data from the platform level then we want to talk with you! Please reach out to Ben (blieberman@nventdata.com) or Rassul (rfazelat@nventdata.com)

SEEKING FREELANCER. Dublin, Ireland. REMOTE is good. I'm looking for a collaborator on development projects.

I have good clients and I manage sales, project management and backend development. I'm looking for someone with excellent HTML5 / CSS / Javascript ability and a very strong visual sense, who enjoys working on the frontend. Especially someone with the ability to keep things simple, when large amounts of information are involved.

I have an immediate need for someone to work on a project with me. The amount of work is about 3 -4 weeks for someone who knows what they are doing. I have an excellent budget, but I'm also willing to renegotiate upwards with the client if I find someone really good. I believe in paying serious money for skilled people.

It may be necessary for you to meet with the clients here in Ireland. If it is then I will pay travel costs and accomodation (nothing fancy - but fun and friendliness is guaranteed...if you like fun...which isn't mandatory).

Regarding motels, I imagine that's the a consequence of the same anti-development forces that have been driving up real estate prices and produce extremely valuable areas filled with low-rise buildings.

Having a huge parking lot on your property in the middle of SF has to be foolish. At the very least it must be worth building a multi-level garage to save space. However, is it feasible to replace it with anything else? If you already have a parking lot, perhaps because it was totally sensible in 1932 or whenever it was originally built, what does it take to build something more valuable on that land today?

This is what happens when you hire bunch of fresh grads or inexperienced engineers who blow their load whenever there's a chance to reinvent the wheel and hoping it will catch on.

Experienced engineers know that technology that has stood the test of time is boring. But we are not in the business of designing "fun" ways of working constantly, we are here to ship software on schedule and produce something that is easily understood and maintanable by next generation of engineers, instead of getting bamboozled by a new buzzwords invented by empty suits (agile, tdd, xp, microservice, mvc up your browshizzle), regardless, if not an engineer, than some "manager" who can't code reads some article on HN, and decides that's the way to do it.

...a dress-up festival of blood-soaked nostalgia whose very pretensions to antiquity mark it as the rankest kind of modern innovation.

This reminds me of Ernst Gellner's critique of the "natural explanation" for nationalism. There was no ancient Germany, France, UK, etc. to which the modern states can trace a lineage. (Even the Roman Empire was not in any sense Italy.) Those nations were created as a response to the modern situation, just as this zany caliphate is a response to our postmodern world.

Here's your problem: the "things" are sticking out in a variety of ways in Lisps, you just don't know and can't recognize in what ways exactly.

> Both of these aren't even in the top 50. Can you think of a somewhat popular (non-legacy) language?

Again, I don't understand what you mean.

I've never had to change my mind about Lisp -- but to me, Common Lisp's condition system kicks the crap out of every other language because it allows you to handle conditions without unwinding the stack.

And whenever you get dropped into the debugger, you can edit and reevaluate the broken code or values or whatever -- and then continue on with the task.

In other words, you can begin a task with imperfect code -- and refine it as you go along -- figuring out how to handle corner cases as you go. All without starting the task over from the beginning.

I know of only one other language that allows you to explore a problem space like that.

Besides, the parentheses make the code less jagged looking and jagged looking code imo, is more tiring to look at. Lisp is simply prettier.
