Not often at all.

sbt[1] supports incremental compilation and projects such as Play[2] leverage this to support "on-the-fly" recompilation while the container remains running.

My god I hope this is not Uber’s plan. While this would actually work it is very, very illegal [1]. I can’t see the USA government turning a blind eye to such blatant antitrust activities, but after what they have let the banks get away with maybe it would work.

He was charged with the Espionage Act. Please refer to the original comment to see that I did not claim the US charges individuals with treason.

Risen got it better than others though in some ways. Binney and his family were held at gunpoint. Nacchio was blackmailed.
The "most natural, basic state" refers to the ultimate dissociative mental state that Spiritualists aspire to <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enlightenment_(spiritual)> ... and not to the evolutionary base (which is comprised of both loving and savage instincts). The key thing to understand here is that dissociating from something (eg: savage instincts) is not the same as eliminating them; the "most natural, basic state" is a manufactured one where the savage instincts are minimized and the tender ones (love) are maximized to the nth degree.
Which brings up a good question: how many of ext4's 60,000 lines of code are compatibility drivers for ext3 and ext2?
This is true, but tangential to my comment.

The Supreme Court has determined that the police have the authority to -demand- your exit from a vehicle, orthogonal to the issue of "Am I free to go?" and other detainment questions, and to compel your exit from the vehicle using force if necessary (at which point you reach the awkward catch-22 of "is this classified as 'resisting arrest'?"

Hi Gesman. Thanks for the kind words! I was the one that built the site. What can I do for you?
Uprooted because I glazed over that word in my reply, and it does alter the point.
I'm glad the author chose to leave out the details and just say he left the community. We don't need to read the lurid but irrelevant details in every article about filesystems.
If you'd like to get in touch, send me a note through the site, or to the email listed on the site.
You're largely right. The problem is that $~ (and related vars) and $_ are scoped to the nearest method body. If they were scoped to the closure itself, there'd be no problem.
Yeah my thoughts exactly. I love icomoon. It makes bringing in vectors from illustrator 0 hassle. Sure there are a few nuances here and there, but like you said, it's free.
You continually emphasize your personal experiences, as if they were relevant to this conversation. I am asking you now to pretend like you are the person in this article and explain this:

>their feelings come from their pre-determined pessimistic viewpoint

Reach into what you know about computer science departments and the decline of women in that field. Reach into what you know about developing professionally in mathematics as a black woman. Imagine what it's like to have everyone who you meet assume you don't know what you're talking about or that you only got where you are because of affirmative action. Imagine having to prove yourself every day in your chosen field because "statistically" there aren't very many people like you in this field.

This is 'evidence' you're ignoring.

Now justify:

>their feelings come from their pre-determined pessimistic viewpoint.

You're correct in that the pessimistic viewpoint is predetermined. It's predetermined by experience.

No one's asking anyone to feel guilty about asking the woman if she's lost. We're being asked to understand the underlying implications of this recurring speech event.

> Pretending that the opposite it true, that violence is our most natural and basic state, is equally naive

That depends on what you mean. It is certainly true that our natural state is not to be psychopaths, indiscriminately killing everything in sight. But the evidence (and the theoretical foundations) indicate that a certain amount of violence is an inherent part of our basic nature, and so achieving peace requires work.

I do want to emphasize, though, that it can certainly be done. The internet, airplanes, McDonalds -- none of these are part of our basic nature either, and yet we've managed to achieve them. Peace is not out of reach, and indeed, the historical trend is towards an ever more peaceful world [1].

Yeah, Romanians do all kinds of stuff like everyone else, but none of that changes the fact that you're lucky if you're making 200-300 euros a month in Romania and that's simply not enough to live off of.
Gotta love a good "prominent negative excursion". Which is to say, gotta love unabashed scientific writing. "Neutral bouyancy" would be another good one. We need better basic science writing, even if it is on the quagmire that is wikipedia.

It's not "productized"; it's exactly the same as the thousands of other companies that do this. I'm not saying they won't make money (it's actually a pretty profitable business), but this is not a business model that scales geometrically. It's also a really, really crowded space where relationships, project management and financial discipline (aka staying on top of your collections from day 1) are bigger factors of success than a fancy app or good customer service. Those functions don't even scale linearly, and because they're account management functions, you can't farm them off to a computer system unless you're cool with never getting paid.

Again, I know a half dozen companies off the top of my head that provide the exact same service. Just instead of a website, I have an account rep I can e-mail or call and get even more personalized service. And I can choose if they source developers from China, India, Argentina, Colombia, Ukraine, etc. based on price. Their PMs handle the intake and return a product within a specified time period. What's novel about this?
Invokedynamic's benefits have been a bit of a mixed bag, but id does make the JVM see through dynamic call sites and optimize them like it does statically-typed call sites. That generally improves performance for JRuby, but there are cases where simply inlining the code together doesn't lead to a measurable increase.
Uber's "we need to meet demand" argument is true, but disingenuous. Uber needs to keep adding more drivers because they have such a high turnover rate.

Many drivers work for a few months, realize that after costs they're making minimum wage, if that, and then quit. Naturally, Uber needs constant access to fresh blood in order to keep the scheme going.

Coming as it does on the heels of yesterday's sea level warning - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9927099 this makes me wonder what it takes to take a large chunk of water, maintain a traditional pH, cleanliness and temperature, and grow stuff (fish, algae, seaweed). It seems this is going to be an area with increasing demand, even just betting on the growing population. Anyone interested in doing an aquaculture startup? I have had some ideas in the area (I think fundamentally different to others) already.

Can we please retire the “strong, tough, male” founder stencil once and for all?

So, there's a difference between that stereotype in a founder, and in a CEO--though the author uses the two as though there isn't. A CEO's job is to lead and to make decisions and to delegate, and that is something that monkeybrains are wired to assist with only with CEOs that appear strong and masculine.

It's not ideal, mind you, and there's nothing wrong with seeking help and whatnot, but ignoring thousands of years of experience is probably not wise here.
So does Infosys, Tata, Wipro, IBM, Cognizant, etc. They all have rapid prototyping frameworks for mobile/web apps, and can churn out something functional in under a week. This is a commodity product already offered by a number of scaled players. Their chances of breakout success are zero.
The reporting on this issue can at best be described as muddled, including the original articles by netzpolitik.org.

They are not actually investigating netzpolitik.org, but their (unknown) sources (clarified in a later article [1]), presumably for leaking the information.

"Treason" is a misleading translation; the closest equivalent to "Landesverrat" would probably be "espionage".

The leaked documents were (1) parts of the budget of the domestic intelligence service, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, and (2) plans by the same institution to create a new unit to conduct internet surveillance. Because these are purely domestic issues, it is unlikely that the leak qualifies as "Landesverrat", which requires creating a grave danger for the external security of the Federal Republic of Germany (creating a danger for Germany's internal security is insufficient, and neither is embarrassing the government, including in international affairs).

Leaking the documents is still likely a crime under §353b of the criminal code [2], but the German Federal Prosecutor is not competent to prosecute violations of §353b (this is the prerogative of the state prosecutors).

To the downvoters: are you really that frightened to consider the possibility that the government is abusing its relationship with you?

Doesn't the statement

> "The ext4 driver has been able to register itself as ext[23] for quite some time now, so it's transparent."

itself imply that ext4 merely builds on ext2/3 ? That is, there shouldn't be too much compatibility code, since 3/4 are logical extensions of ext2.

The need for a split was explained in the article and more by Linus: it wasn't incompatibility but the scary possibility for instability in a filesystem that most people used as the canonical linux filesystem.

edit: think of ext3/4 as a fully backwards compatible 'branch' that is only now being 'merged' back in.
For what it's worth, I've noticed that for me too but have considered it a ruleset issue: we all desire to connect with other human beings, but because there are too many people everywhere and of low connection relevancy, the default we take is to not interact with anyone, else we'd never get around to doing anything.

In nature the people are scarce and also all share an appreciation for nature, so it's natural for us to want to connect.
Source that Risen was charged with the Espionage Act? The Wikipedia page just mentions Sterling. Binney was never indicted for anything. As for Nacchio: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/qwests-joseph-nacchio-tries... ("Nacchio, after all, had deep pockets and millions of dollars in legal indemnification from Qwest. He fully exhausted the federal-appeals process and still lost his case, Eid said.")
care to share your negative experiences? (maybe in summary if you don't feel like sharing too much)
That's not consistent with what Tolstoy said (or at least what the author says of what Tolstoy said -- I haven't actually read Tolstoy). The author says that Tolstoy "advocates for a return to our most natural, basic state, which is the law of love." [Emphasis added.] Mankind can't return to this state because mankind has never been in this state. We may some day in the future be in this state (I hope so) but we haven't quite gotten there yet. And, I submit, denying this won't help.
For an extra boost of that natural feeling, take your clothes off in the elements.

I'm quite curious as to where this $500k figure for an iOS hole is from.

Also, as someone who makes their living selling exploits I rather disagree on your claim that selling vulnerabilities is something that would have you labeled as a "pariah". I don't think I've ever seen that happen.
Risen wasn't charged. His source was.

Nacchio was one of several executives at a variety of companies charged with bilking shareholders out of tens of millions of dollars. The case against him appears to have been quite strong: he stipulated to a number of high-dollar sales of his stocks during times where he knew the price of Qwest's stock was going to crater.

> laptop market

A complete sidebar discussion, but although there are many, many laptop manufacturers, one company is estimated to make only 10% of the revenues but more than 35% of the profits, leaving the manufacturers of the other 90% of the laptops to divide 65% of the profits.

So... It is possible that in some markets, a company can drive operational efficiencies to be grossly profitable even if it ends up with a minority market share.
Is it just me or is there something strange about the way this piece is written. Feels like it is written by an bot or somehow optimized for search.

The manuscript, written in "Hijazi script", an early form of written Arabic, becomes one of the oldest known fragments of the Koran.

Because radiocarbon dating creates a range of possible ages, there is a handful of other manuscripts in public and private collections which overlap. So this makes it impossible to say that any is definitively the oldest.

But the latest possible date of the Birmingham discovery - 645 - would put it among the very oldest.

Oldest, Oldest Oldest. Ok, I get the picture.

You are right about Risen and Sterling. I think you get the point though. The leverage placed on Risen to reveal his sources and the placement of Sterling under the Espionage Act - the use of backroom deals to keep Risen's publication of mass surveillance out of the Times when it was first published - the use of NSLs - the hacking of the Associated Press to spoil their sources during the Benghazi Affair. The US uses these things to curdle journalistic coverage and their sources.

Binney wasn't indicted for anything. He and his family was held at gunpoint and threatened.

The link you gave just had people calling Nacchio pathetic. Was there a specific fact you were trying to highlight? (I mentioned character defamation in the top post.)
Ha, exactly, except that too good to be true usually is. I have a hard time believing the "low ball high volume" strategy is going to lead to well-executed projects.
I completely agree. This is just one part / one face of Romania, and unfortunately this is how Romanians are known..

When I went to holiday last time to Spain, I figured out very quickly that I am treated much better when told to be from Hungary instead of Romania. There is a big disinclination toward Romanians in western Europe, probably because the mismatch with gypsies.
We (the U.S.) are the favorite country for criminals hiding their wealth, and it's not even close. The problem is that they buy real estate in the most expensive areas (New York, Bay Area) and that hurts far more people than it helps.

How do 90%+ know what physical object it represents though?
But don't think you're safe there. If you have the slightest hesitation at all in your tonality, the driver will all of the sudden get a case of "I don't know that location, can you give me directions". I experienced that when I first moved here back to back one night because I didn't understand the "process" of getting a cab in New York.

Point is, cabs are completely shady, and nearly all have horrible service.

Since I've been here in NY, I've been using Uber regularly and every single experience has been nothing short of great. 99% have been spotless vehicles that smell good, with A/C in summer, and drivers with an awesome attitude. I've had a few rides where the driver took a non-optimal route and Uber refunded credits each time.

It's unbelievable to me that people dislike Uber and think they're just some "scam" backed by venture capital.
And now you've gotten everyone who didn't know to google it :P

Since you're using the auto-tuned index for FLANN it's going to build a large number of indexes to try and find the best performing one, which can take a long time. Properly tuned I would expect FLANN to be much faster (though that's expected since it doesn't do exact searches). Also benchmarking the index build time together with query times doesn't make sense to me since depending on the application you may not care how long it takes to build the index.
Uber drivers can see where you are as part of evaluating your ride request. Consequently, though your ride request might be offered to several drivers before being accepted, you are not likely to be assigned a driver who cancels later because of your location. Furthermore, Uber drivers are not allowed to refuse more than a certain small percentage of rides, so drivers who do this more than rarely will be kicked out.

It's more likely that a driver will be reluctant to go where you want to go. Though this can happen, Uber passengers will rate the driver poorly, and they'll be kicked out.

Uber's star rating system and insistence on keeping drivers only with good ratings is part of why people enjoy using the service. Drivers can't pull shit like that and get away with it.
API Documentation Needs Love Too
One thing I suspect widespread use of onion routing will need are compatible anonymous reputation systems. I'd really like to see work in this area.

I'm aware of two proposed systems, both largely academic: FAUST and Fair Anonymity:

https://gnunet.org/node/1704

http://arxiv.org/pdf/1412.4707v1.pdf

One idea is that older (and still trustworthy) tokens become reliable and more valuable, encouraging parties to 1) keep their tokens for a long time and 2) behave themselves. As I recall, both operate with the concept of a token server. In the case of FAUST, tokens are requested unblinded (that is, from a non-Tor IP), but are anonymous and cannot be associated with the requestor after the fact.

If there's other or more recent work, I'd really like to hear about them.
Sure, absolutely. I don't advocate doing any "extra mile" stuff unless you have a damn good reason to. I mean, if you think you're in like to make CEO (or whatever) one day, then by all means, do whatever it takes. Otherwise, my feeling is, conserve as much of your mental/physical/emotional/spiritual/whatever energy as you can, to use on ends that DO matter to you.
Not to mention all of the space a large music collection can take up. I've managed to sell about 400 of the 450 CDs I had collected because I just didn't want the cases around anymore. All I was doing anymore was buying the disc, ripping it, and then tossing it on a shelf. I probably had $6k invested by the end. All of my food service and Geek Squad wages gone :)

As a musician, I want to support other musicians (and I know that streaming services are a raw deal for smaller artists, but so were traditional album sales) so I try to go see them on the road (which is where they can actually make money) when they're in Chicago or Madison.
I just can't see garage dreamers plunking down that kind of cash without guarantees. Invariably people will try to get out of paying for whatever reason (chargebacks, non-payment, etc) and at these dollar amounts and margins it doesn't make a lot of sense to try to collect. IMO the biggest problem in this end of the market is keeping your AR above water.
