It's pretty simple in its current form, but if one were to add user authentication then it would be possible to do anything implemented in the Github API.

For example, this project is using issues in the purpose of posting/commenting, but theoretically you could use them as a general purpose database.

You can use a Jekyll-based blog for that. The cool thing about this is the ability to comment on posts without having to add Disqus or similar services.

Yes, the possibility exists, but it's not implemented as a feature in Github.js so you'd have to manually request the issue comments for every issue like this:

  github._request('GET', issue.comments_url, {}, callback)

Some context: This library was, in addition to my C++ bindings to BLAS [1], written to be able to improve the performance of the linear algebra library Vectorious [2] and will eventually be included there.

These bindings are direct C++ bindings to LAPACK, in contrast to node-lapack [3] which uses the foreign function interface and therefore inherits its call overhead. The bindings also use the TypedArray equivalents to C/Fortran single- and double precision arrays (Float32Array and Float64Array respectively) instead of regular arrays for extra performance.

I'm not so sure. The title should be relevant to the layer of abstraction used. You're talking of abstractions as if there is a beginning and an end level, but what if there isn't?

This reminds me of the quote "How much can the ripples tell us about the object that fell in the water?"

Title should read "Show HN: Cloudly" or "Show HN: Free, open-source, cross-platform servers monitoring" or something that is somewhat related to the content.

That blog contains some impressive image processing with examples, thank you for linking.

I don't know why, but as a student developer I really appreciate not bloating it with ads or freemium or whatever. I am of the opinion that scientific tools are best developed non-profit and open-source.

I'm surprised that Trump is not excluded when agreeing on "Taxes on wealthy people should be increased."

Otherwise four candidates from two parties that aren't that different in reality is really not much to choose from.

Points are absolute, ems are relative. [1]

While I like the idea of a computer science news aggregator, I don't like the design of this at all. The light green/orange/blue color scheme is repelling and as pointed out before the site contains way too much white space. I'd say take (a lot) more inspiration from HN/Reddit.

I'm also curious as to how the computer science subject is enforced on the links submitted. Either you have to manually moderate the forum (which will be hard to scale) or you could check submitted websites for <code> tags for example. Keyword filtering is also an option.

My first impression was that the author cares more about the design than the content.

How would the site handle spam and/or voting rings?

I'm currently working on bringing BLAS [1] and LAPACK [2] to JavaScript. And here is a matrix/vector library with some of the BLAS functions implemented [3].

Thanks! Will do.

> The government of Mali asked for foreign military help to re-take the north. [1]

Intervening and waging proxy wars in the middle-east sent the message that sovereignty is relative and only applies to countries with "appropriate" views, hence the hate against west.

Still I wouldn't call Mali a stable country as they are constantly plagued by terrorist attacks.

World's largest arms exporter: US ($10,194,000,000 in 2014)

World's largest arms importer: Saudi Arabia ($4,243,000,000 in 2014)

To me, these are scary numbers.

> When a country decides to invest in arms, rather than in education, housing, the environment, and health services for its people, it is depriving a whole generation of its right to prosperity and happiness. We have produced one firearm for every ten inhabitants of this planet, and yet we have not bothered to end hunger when such a feat is well within our reach. Our international regulations allow almost three-quarters of all global arms sales to pour into the developing world with no binding international guidelines whatsoever. Our regulations do not hold countries accountable for what is done with the weapons they sell, even when the probable use of such weapons is obvious. – Oscar Arias Sanchez, 1987 Nobel Peace Prize winner

Great article, thanks for sharing. These simple techniques can be useful e.g. when preprocessing images for machine learning.

I'd go with "ssh sync".

Hey.

I appreciate the positive response, but this is just something I put together quickly and needs a little refurbishing before it can be considered a viable alternative to something like lsyncd.

Top priorities right now are to get rid of ssh-client dependency and to address security concerns. I'd also like to implement file diffing.

Your feedback is invaluable!

Thanks for pointing this out.

This might be true, but keep in mind that all Europeans that travel to fight for IS pass through Turkey without much resistance. They are officially against IS, but they have their own agenda in the area (i.e. the PKK).

You're right, that's kind of why I named the bash command 'proto' instead of 'cproto', but maybe that's not enough. Any suggestions? I'll change it later today.

The name is node-ffi and yes, you are correct. Can also be used for automated documentation purposes.

Suggestion noted! I put this together today so there is definitely room for improvement.

Yesterday we had 'Like Airbnb, but for algorithms?' (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10044783) and now this. I see no reason for this namedropping but clickbait. It's getting kind of silly.

I fail to see how this makes the article plausible.

Maybe you should talk to some middle-eastern people and tell them the U.S. isn't a real threat?

My point being that this never-ending blame game won't solve anything.

I'm not saying you're wrong - it certainly needs to be addressed - but you make it sound like Russia and China are the only villains.

I think these issues need to be resolved without assessing blame, because the world's most powerful countries always try to impose their will on other smaller sovereign states.

Interesting that you mention Vietnam.
