Hmm, It's not uncommon today for grandchildren to be in there 30's when a grandparent dies. Thats around children having age also.

I could easily see it being common already for an author to die at age 90, leaving children (aged ~60), grand children (aged ~30) and great-grandchildren (aged ~1)

That gives all of those people 75 more years of income from the original authors work. Which leaves us with grandchildren (aged ~105), great grandchildren (aged ~75), great-great-grandchildren (aged ~45), great-great-great-grandchildren (aged ~15) once the copyright expires, if it is never extended.

I'm not sure i see why the great-great-great-grandchildren of an author deserve the income from that work into their mid to late teens.
Well, its a more than decade old DDS chip. Compare to something only five or so years old like a AD9912 from the same mfgr.

Admittedly it costs more and drops about twice the power, darn near a watt. However, twice the max output frequency, 48 bit tuning word instead of 32 gives somewhat higher precision, 14 bit DAC instead of 10 bit DAC should give much better phase noise performance, a fancy ole PLL refclock input instead of a fixed six-tupler refclock input is more flexible... The "spur-killer" features of the new DDS are kinda cool, you can programmatically predict spurs, more or less, so feed in an intentional signal 180 degrees out of phase and that spur disappears from the output, cool (although it adds complication). The electrical IO capabilities of the new DDS are pretty interesting. Thats all I get in 5 minutes with both datasheets, although I'm sure if I dug in the specific phase noise details of the new chip would likely be way lower.

Something instructive to look at WRT complication is the decade old chip has a single 40 bit control "word" aka you squirt 5 bytes at it and call it done. The newer chip has a multiple printed page IO register map with dozens of addresses... programming old DDS was like "undergrad lab class" level of complicated but programming newer DDS is not for faint of heart.

In another decade, "one GHz-ish" maybe 64 bit tuning words, 16 bit DAC all sound "believable" for a watt and $25 or so. DDS are cool.
Ask HN: Any useful resource for learning Amazon Machine Learning?
Amazon recently released Amazon ML. This new AWS service claims to help devs to use all of that data you’ve been collecting to improve the quality of your decisions. Any useful resources for learning Amazon Machine Learning? Has anyone tried Amazon Machine Learning?
TCL is probably the only major scripting language that has rock solid thread and concurrency (events, too) support.

As a matter of opinion, the embedding api is cleaner than most alternatives.
The bargain basement part came from sound quality and being able to buy single songs. Apple's iTunes does have $.69 and $.79 songs along with bargain album prices of $6.99 (on the front page with links to cheap albums under the category headings near the bottom of the front page).
Legacy reasons and existing code base works. This might offered a migration path for those who wish.

Though the TCL/TK combo for some has always been appealing and simple enough to work and come across it in area's for comm's to nice display interface and medical data processings. Cloverleaf being worth a mention and that is written in TCL and used that near on 20 years ago for processing medical important things from banks of modems - it worked. Sure could use something else but that is true of everything. Still TCL been around a while, back in a time in which perl was popular.
LinkedIn sucks so Millennials are joining Clinchr
Let me ask you a question, what have traditional career exploration and acquisition avenues done for you really?
Studies show that about 48 percent of recent college graduates are in jobs that require less than a four year education. So that means either you or your freshman year roommate are in a dead end job that isn't leading to a corner office; but instead, to a slow and boring death. Let's face it, not everyone decided that what they really needed to do Saturday night was go to a resume writing class and not go and do what would go down as the most epic keg stand in history at the Alpha Beta Kappa house. But should the fact that your resume isn’t a gift bequeathed by the gods themselves really mean the difference between job and a meaningful career?

No.

Should the fact that you are actually an amazing programmer, but studied Buddhist Theology undergrad really mean you have to wait until your next life to get a shot at helping to architect the next big idea?

No.

Should the fact that you spent the last 4 years of college working at Burger King and not at your father’s movie equipment production company really mean that you shouldn’t be able to land your dream job at Disney next year because you, “Don’t have the experience"?

No.

Should the fact that your favorite team sucks stop them from getting the ‘ship next year?

Well…probably, but that’s besides the point.

It’s time to stand up for yourself and make sure your skills and abilities are put front and center.

It’s time for you to get a career, not a job.

Join Clinchr. Show your stuff. Get that career. Change your life.

I haven't used tcl for 20 years and probably will never use it again, but upvoted on grounds of 'hey, that looks cool'.
Yeah, but the layered images and copy on write nature of Docker has not and IMHO, that is what is novel about this new wave of containers.
Very interesting to see how much more popular Android is for hackathons. I imagine it's because you don't need a dev account, easy to deploy to a device/share APKs, and the APIs have fewer limits. But if you ask this same survey of actual startups, most go iOS first for the $$$.

If you asked me to explain what a memristor is without using the words "memory" and "resistor", I probably would have said something very close to this sentence in the article:

>The new architecture does without transistors entirely, relying on a bulk material property change to switch bits from a low-resistance to a high-resistance state.

So what's the difference between Intel's 3D Xpoint and memristors?
The federal reserve system was designed to be resilient against the democratic whims of the people; any minuscule control you have over the management of the US Dollar is a bug, not a feature.
It is clickbait-y and it is a nothing article really.

The rule is just a rough guideline to FAT loss, little different than weight loss.

And like you said, the "plateau" effect doesn't negate the "rule", it only really reaffirms that fat loss will require that calorie deficit.

The art will also have to use the characterization of Mickey Mouse as he appeared in Steamboat Willie. More modern depictions would still be protected.

I have noticed that Disney has recently started using an actual clip of Steamboat Willie as a trademark for Walt Disney Animation Studios. This seems to be a hedge against expiration of the copyright.

It's a grey enough area that the better lawyers would win in any dispute. And Disney has the best.

It's much safer to simply shove Mickey down the memory hole, and create an original character that isn't going to draw so much high-caliber, high-explosive, armor-piercing fire.
I think PPK is missing the point being "features" being added, and rationalizing the design of the old Web APIs by making them a proper layered stack of primitives. Much of the work being added to the browser recently obviates the need for "high level" opaque features to be added, and instead exposes enough low level primitives that these can be implemented by developers in libraries.

If you get a good set of low level primitives exposed that are freely composeable, then you can stop adding "features", and let third parties develop those features.

The Web is missing lots of features for mobile that are being added today which simply cannot be replicated by freezing features and using IE6 era hacks. These are features that are needed not to emulate native apps but to make the end user experience of the Web better for end users.

For example, ServiceWorker replaces the terribly designed Application Cache, and enables better caching logic, offline use, and push message delivery. If you're building a mobile site app for say, users in developing countries with very restricted data plans, than using ServiceWorker to control and preinstall cached resources, incrementally update those resources, possibly just by receiving a push notification, and allowing users to browse the site without even spinning up the cellular radio, that will be a huge boon to both the economics of the app in those regions, but battery life too.

These rants don't come with any context of what the alternative is. The vast majority of human beings are now online via mobile as their only mechanism for content. The Web wasn't designed for mobile. It needs updating, and simply thinking we can return to the vision of XHTML Mobile/Mobile CSS circa 2004 era is not going to convince anyone. Either it will encourage Facebook Instant style destruction of the Web, with more and more content moved into proprietary silos, or you'll see something like Flash come back.

Remember, we finally disposed of Flash by upgrading the Web to the point where it wasn't needed anymore.

We don't want a similar situation to occur for the mobile web.
I'd avoid it. It's expensive and MySQL is going to store all those blobs off-page anyway. S3 gives you nice perks like versions and you can just store the s3_name+version as metadata in your DB instead. Also if you want to do any heavy processing of your blobs outside of the DB, S3 tends to be a lot better for parallel access (e.g. hadoop jobs)

Obviously don't know your exact use case, but that's what we do.

> Breaking out of container will always be easier than breaking out of deeper levels of virtualization (Xen/KVM).

I agree it's not easy to get right, but it doesn't seem necessary that containers will always be leaky. Solaris/Illumos Zones are an OS-level virtualization approach that's pretty airtight, for example.
Hello, Redis test suite is written in Tcl because for this kind of stuff Tcl is very good. A few reasons:

1. It is very easy to write DSLs in Tcl, you can turn it into a radically different on-purpose language. If you think Ruby is good at DSLs, try Tcl.

2. It has good I/O functions and is event-driven by default. The Redis test for example uses a server-client model using the event driven support of Tcl.

3. It has excellent ways to interact with other Unix commands, see for example the [exec] command: http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TclCmd/exec.htm

4. It has automatic memory management but does not use a garbage collector, reference counting is used instead. This means that the memory footprint is small and there are no GC pauses. Moreover the interpreter is extremely stable.

There are more reasons for using Tcl in certain projects, the above are the reasons I'm using it for Redis testing.
If they had made that argument to their customers at the purchase time, together with a realistic estimate of the degree of security being provided, then that would be a valid argument for them to make now.

Also, as this argument depends in part on insurance, the insurance companies are entitled to the same information.

The real point here, however, is not that the safes can be broken, but that they can be broken relatively easily with techniques that have been known for a long time, and which can be defended against. There is no strong case to be made that this is a well-engineered product.

I agree - many folks like having flexibility. This could be an example of a subset of disgruntled workers and their lawyers killing the Golden Goose. Of course I still believe that the Ubers of the world need to follow labor laws.
the web is something else completely different, which we've never seen before, and mark my words, it will not disappear or be superseded anytime soon

Smalltalk environments?

That's the gist of it. The web is a file server protocol with a pseudo-Smalltalk coating.

We've seen hypertext systems in general many times before the web.

We went from the stagnation to fast-forward.

I hated the old days because nothing seemed to change.

The browsers had slowed innovation because of IE and PHP didn't seem to try much new things (besides the OOP additions) for a long time.

But it was easy money. I learned PHP, HTML and CSS and was set for about 10 years with subtle changes.

Since 2013 I went from ExtJS, to Ember, to React on the client and from PHP to Node with Express and then Koa on the server.

It got a bit more exiting, with all the new features and a much faster development pace, but I went from old, never fixed bugs to new unstable libraries. So the rage stayed the same, hehe.

Thank you for this and I hate you. I actually teared up a couple of times as the life guards pulled the kids to safety.

I also had some trouble getting the hang of what I was supposed to do. I'd recommend an interstitial to get people going before the video starts. Maybe something like this?

You are about to watch a recorded video of typical activity at a pool. Help the life guard watch all the swimmers in your half of the pool.

If you see someone who needs help from the life guard, click on them in the video and check the results at the bottom of the video.

Since life guards can't do it (as much as they might wish they could!) don't rewind, pause or click the video while being tested unless you would be ready to blow the whistle, jump in, and swim to someone.
That's kind of a backwards goal (instead of trying to make a game, and moving towards the technology that enables that) but to entertain your question: there isn't one.

The game development community doesn't really buy into the crap that the web development world does. People care more about results than process there, and as a result, care far more about performance and ease of development, too. That means using tested technologies.

Large game engines are built in C and C++, and their exposed scripting APIs are provided in Lua, C#, and JavaScript.

I don't know anyone that writes games other than Flash ones that don't subscribe to the language ecosystems of the ones above or general game development ecosystem that you can take seriously.

Game development is a multidisciplinary field, don't test the waters there for playing around with a new language. You're missing so much more when you make that your goal.
I think you just said no, but included a recipe to do exactly that.

My fear is your fear, I just phrased it more generally, while what you said is one of the specific forms making such an insane AI could take -- and reflects the insanity of its makers, our belief we'd somehow be greater without those parts.

It's pretty complicated with GCE itself. for GCE, I followed this http://kubernetes.io/v1.0/docs/getting-started-guides/gce.ht... guide.

I eventually wanted to set it up in Rackspace where my company cloud lives. I used corekube(https://github.com/metral/corekube) heat templates to set it up but the way to add more minions to the cluster wasn't simple. On top of that there's this complicated networking I have to setup on rackspace, because k8s runs in its own flannel subnet which is actually overlayed on top of an isolated rackspace private subnet. To access the API externally I had to do some NAT manipulation to interface that private subnet to the rackspace public IP just to get the guestbook example working. Dunno how I'd have managed that with a more complex setup of multiple services.
So exactly like Yik Yak?
The software is in pretty early beta. It's a typical pre-order: pay $40 now while it still has bugs, or full-price later (likely $80) when it's cleaned up. There's also a stretch goal to release a big chunk of infrastructure as open source.
Don't underestimate the amount of people doing things wrong.

Docker could be much more successful in the Windows world, the ability to package very precise versions of databases, libraries, weird obsolete application into one image that can be deployed easily would be extremely helpful in many companies. It would be the wrong solution, but an easy work-around for broken upgrade paths.
Oh this is about Google analytics. I wish you people could pick a unique term for your discipline. Analytics is older than Google.
Fellow HN readers: We're a smart bunch of hackers. Why don't we have a startup working on a technology that could recognize and alert lifeguards when swimmers are in danger? I bet a few cameras and some (admittedly advanced) machine learning could spot swimmers in need of assistance.
I couldn't agree more, we need stop and take a break. Enjoy the stuff we have now and fix what is not working correctly. Adding more features just adds more bugs and exploits, if you have been paying any attention to the web lately you would notice that the a lot of the bugs popping up are 10+ years old.
I've thought about this a lot - I work in mediatech and have also thought about PG's RFS when it was posted some years ago.

Ultimately, I've come to the conclusion that thinking about Hollywood as "production & distribution" is naive - if that were really the case YouTube and Netflix would have long replaced Hollywood by now. And I don't think "CGI" realism will disrupt them either.

What Hollywood has, to an overwhelming degree, and which is really hard to "automate" is talent. From writers, singers and to actors and directors, Hollywood is really effective at finding and growing talent and the rest of the world hasn't really figured out how to write great content other than "throw millions of dollars at it" (like Netflix with House of Cards).

Simply put, you can have the best distribution channels or the cheapest platform but the top tier talent is expensive - but also has the best returns. And couple that with the fact that media production is very hit or miss (you can spend 150MM on a movie and have no one watch it, or make 1B), you are faced with something you can seemingly only "disrupt" by spending as much as everyone else.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure how "major" it's can be considered these days. Perl struggles with maintaining that title (if it hasn't already lost it for the majority of people), and my impression has always been that Perl is quite a bit more popular than TCL. That impression could be quite off though, as programming language usage measurements are always rife with controversy.

I think you might have to brush up/learn common algorithms and data structures for your interviews - I remember being in a similar situation and found that my round of interviews afterward were the hardest I had to go through. Most of them were asking questions way above what a Jr. Dev should know and it was pretty disheartening; I think most had their set of questions they'd ask in any interview and don't really adjust for the junior status. So yeah, don't get too discouraged and keep going

For example, a lot of the problems that could be easily solved via declarative HTML tags are being solved via low-level JavaScript APIs.

Not to mention that the web sets its own expectations. If everyone uses stupid modal popups, your clients will expect you to use stupid modal popups.
Kiosk breakouts were fun as a kid. I used to get around time limits on library computers by breaking out via the volume control tray icon.
oh yes of course! nowadays a lot of online services don't need anymore the intermediation (airbnb, uber and so on...)
The "sharing economy" is Uber and some wannabees.[1] Airbnb isn't employment, it's real estate rental. The other service companies are all tiny.

After a while, Uber is going to lose on the "independent contractor" thing. Uber will end up owning the cars and hiring drivers as employees, at least until the CMU crowd they hired makes automatic driving good enough. It will still be a profitable business.

VLIW processors with dynamic configuration of the opcode instruction group has a lot of potential in the future, in my opinion. E.g. 128 or 256 bit "opcode groups" with variable-size opcodes, using their own temporary registers, even custom programable opcodes for ad-hoc opcode compression, etc.

The failure of the Itanium because of cheap x86 chips doing "macro-op" execution, more efficiently than the Itanium explicit VLIW, is the other side of the same coin: no matter if explicit or implicit, the way to increase single-thread IPC (instruction per clock) rate is doing more in parallel and hiding execution latency. So, explicit, or as hidden abstraction, VLIW-esque execution seems to be unavoidable.
Maybe there's no difference ? maybe they want to play the stock market, because for memristors, they might have competition, for example from crossbar inc ?

All decisions should be based on comparing outcomes. Cost is important, but obviously that's only one small part of the outcome. Letting the guilty free is an undesirable outcome (assuming a just law), and jailing the innocent is a terrible outcome. I find the framework of "rights" unhelpful for balancing pros and cons, but the phrasing of the previous post was a very poor paraphrase of that position.
