A little bit far, but at least I can say I know of another HN user in Georgia. :) Send me an email if you're ever out this way, and I'll do likewise.

Given the recent judicial president set for revenge porn cases, I feel we need a similarly harsh ruling for those found guilty of swatting. This is a crime that could easily result in the deaths of innocent victims, and the punishment needs

I find it interesting how much analysis has been given to the tone of cperciva's comment. There is an awful lot of this going around lately. What is the goal commenters in such threads are pursuing? To correct a wrong or misunderstandi

Does StatusPage do anything that this software doesn't? Just curious, because I was thinking about setting up some form of simple monitoring, but I haven't as of yet investigated any of the solutions in this space. (Forgive me for

Speaking of Georgia, does anyone here live in the Atlanta area? I would love to get to know other HNers living nearby.

Sadly, I do not think your willing participation would a requirement. This seems like the sort of thing that would be imposed upon you by the sheer force of adoption.

Could the rights holders of Marvin Gaye's work be sued for copyright infringement of an older, yet still quixotically copyrighted, work? Not only would such a move highlight everything wrong with the verdict, but it would also be quite

It appears that they have developed a novel neural network architecture such that it is possible to understand what each of the layers encode. (Classically, the result of training might not be intelligible--the learned function is encoded i

Absolutely not!! This would be a blatant act of censorship--and to what end? You'll see the same junk science on Reddit anyway. The feedback from the HN community on science articles is some of the best on the web. It honestly comprise

It can be a challenge for sizable codebases, especially ones with many contributors and that undergoes steady refactoring. That feeling you get when you see code with lots of type checking... A lot of engineering effort could be recovered w

This is the most amazing startup I've ever seen on HN. There's no app, there's nothing to install. I need Magic in my life. I hate ordering, filling out forms, etc. Pease scale this thing hard and fast. This is Uber-level fan

Normally I find jokes on HN to be a bit distasteful due to the manner in which discussions are typically conducted here, but this brought me a smile. :) That cartoon feels like it was from so long ago... Does getting this reference make any

Nim should look very attractive to Python developers. It's a good looking language that has positioned itself in a good market: static typing, looks and feels like scripting (not verbose), and almost systems level (has GC). I haven&#x2

Terrorist can be a loaded word in a political context. We have terms like "freedom fighter", " revolutionary", and "rebel", but these don't quite have neural connotations either. "Insurgent" is u

I know it's not feasible at present, but I'd like to imagine a smartphone that I could consider a high end professional tool. A device like that needs no software or UI changes outside of an occasional patch; hardware fast enough

Your post made me cringe because I mentally extrapolated the trend for cheap goods you set up onto everything else. Honestly I don't know if it would be for better or worse without living in such a world, but I cannot fathom disposable

RPC is much better suited for a microservice architecture. Leave HTTP for the leaves. (I wrote a comment about it elsewhere in this discussion).

Example: consider an application including the following microservices: "newsletter service" and "email gateway service". The newsletter service doesn't need to load email libraries, handle the protocol, failures, b

HTTP is pretty terrible at cancellation, retry, cluster load balancing, in-channel health checks, etc. Some form of RPC is better suited for non-web facing APIs. And yeah, I agree that it's absolutely harder to test. (Integration test

I have to agree. Why waste space on the front page with paywalled content? I have no inclination to ever subscribe to this. I appreciate that others may have different sentiment, but this feels wasted on the majority of us.

I remember when you first announced this project some years back. You've done such an incredible job! :) Since you mention distribution of pre-trained models by participants in ImageNet 2014, I have to wonder if there would be a market

Rust is a statically-typed systems programming language. A language where deal with pointers and manage memory. In the way of purpose and design, Rust has next to nothing in common with Perl, Ruby, Python, etc. I don't understand the

Do you have any proof to back these extraordinary claims? If you have the faintest idea how "microwave technology" can mechanistically and physiologically read minds, you should explain your understanding. My undergrad physical ch

Personally, I find 8 columns to be an incredible waste of horizontal space. I frequently place editor windows/panes side by side, and using 8 columns or spaces wastes valuable screen real estate. But this isn't just a reaction roo

There are differences, the biggest of which is throughput. Kafka can handle incredible load. The messaging semantics are also a bit different. Here's a pretty good comparison: http://www.quora.com/RabbitMQ-vs-Kafka-whic

Nobody complains about us keeping lines of various knockout mice you can order from a catalog. Nobody has a problem with us killing them when it's time to passage the cells. It's not an issue when we create stress responses by bur

Agreed. Also, in this case, I think the Techcrunch article meets the requirement for vetting by a news agency. Hopefully the SF-related subreddits will give this greater visibility.

These speech search endpoints should have open APIs so that we can use our own hardware and software. I want to guarantee that whatever device I might ultimately use for such a service isn't openly listening. That would also enable usa
