The life time of the universe and the physical extent of possible classical computers limits "all the computing that can be done" quite strongly. Especially with regard to intelligence - where the physical and temporal extent of brains are clear.
Working a place without other developers fixes those issues.
Synereo's CTO here, would be happy to get any feedback on our new project and answer any questions :)
I don’t know about that. A lot of lessons were learned in the 1918 flu pandemic that were applied here. For example, I’ve seen the comparison between the Philadelphia and St Louis responses multiple times in how governments were reacting.

I’m sure there will be lessons here too. The difference in response of between countries is one obvious comparison. But I think another lesson will be how the virus spread globally. With this virus, we have much more information about how the virus was able to spread globally so quickly.
You mean natural languages, not programming ones, right?
It is working perfectly for Turkcell Superonline, Turkey. Unfortunately, anti-censorship tools are very crucial for us these days. Thank you for your work.
Work from home effectively.
to me it seems they may think firefox and mozilla are two different things.

did you read the paper, or just comment of the cuff?
Respace, Skylume, and Joyager.

I like all of these names more than Jaunt personally. That said, Jaunt isn't bad, it just reminds me of jaundice and taunt as eps mentioned above.
Yvgeny Zamyatin We 1921. Orwell acknowledged its influence on 1984, and believed that Brave New World was also influenced by it, though Huxley said otherwise. Anthem's resemblance may not be purely coincidental.
AFAIK - yes (license required per address [with some exceptions]) and yes (homeless person acting illegally).
Wow. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

More than a century ago, Jesse Livermore[1] made and lost several fortunes trading stocks via bucket shops. Not unlike what happens to current day card counters, the bucket shops banned Livermore. Bucket shops (at least for stocks) have long been illegal in the USA.

Hooray! I'm a massive fan of HHVM, though not just because it's so fast: Hack is something I'm really interested in. The collections libraries in the stdlib are brilliant to use, and the static typing makes writing some types of code easier and keeps some bugs out of my codebase. The only thing I wish to see is more editor/IDE support for it, so I helped contribute to hack-sublime and have been writing my own plugin for Komodo Edit/IDE.

HHVM and Hack were the impetus for me to learn OCaml, which is a lovely language. It's good to see more and more places picking up HHVM, and it's also great to see PHP5.6 and 7 increasing performance drastically, too!
Do a project in Python.
Wow, that looks exactly like what I wanted! Bookmarked the talk immediately, thanks.

Also one big unknown to me is updating the devices. I skimmed the nerves website and the slides from the talk and it looks like the only way is to write directly to the device SD card, there's no over-the-air updates?
What's the demeanor of the cops in question? https://twitter.com/bubbaprog/status/1346920198461419520 is not someone who is just idly standing by -- they are participating, even if the insurrectionist is holding the camera.
Er....?

The implementation sure was. As directed by company management + execs.
Too bad there is no free ebook version.
There is no significant improvement - the data was already hashed/anon to begin with and posed no risk. IP addresses on their own aren't a problem, it's when it's available with additional data that you start to worry.

This is purely a move to further lock users in while being touted as being privacy friendly through persistent PR.
Thanks for the story. Sorry, I know nothing about music, how do you paint someone's portrait with a piano? He was able to create a music based on a person?
I have always wondered if PostgreSQL for the data layer + HAProxy(multiple instances of web services) would be enough in most cases where Kubernetes is used. HAProxy provides blue-green deployment strategies for web applications for continuous deployments. Database is best kept outside of a distributed system anyway..

A good weekend project and some learning ahead.
I've heard LinkedIn is very helpful when you're looking to switch jobs, but unfortunately this has not been my experience.

I noticed that everyone on LinkedIn projected themselves as an "expert" on something and in their own way wanted you to believe (marketed themselves) as someone who could solve every problem they'd encounter. This left a particularly bad taste for me, so I didn't seek out to network way too much on LinkedIn. People I know have 500+ connections on there, while I have about a few dozen. Perhaps this is the reason for my unsuccessful attempts at landing an interview from recruiters lurking on LinkedIn.
Performance on Fenix is possibly even worse than Fennec for me. Every time I switch to a different app and back to Firefox it has cleared the page out of memory and needs to reload it (and my phone has 4 GB of RAM). Fun times if you need to copy a 2FA code and then go back to the browser.

Then there's the other weird issues. The bottom 5% of the page or so usually doesn't really render correctly (especially if it's a pop-up like a cookie consent box), but scrolling up and down a bit fixes it, usually, if you're fast enough to press whatever button you wanted to press there before it glitches out again.

I care about the open web, and ad blocking is still a killer feature to me, but if I were an average user there is no way I would accept a browser with so many major issues.
Measuring progress in tons of concrete is like judging programs based on lines of code.
I strongly believe that the world economy will inevitably come to such a point in the future. But it is kinda far.

People still transfer xml over the wire, you know :).
Actually, if you read enough about him, you'll find Feynman did actually think some stuff he did that was quite original was obvious; to the point that he didn't publish it and someone would come in later seeking his opinion on their original research only to find out he'd already already happened upon the idea and moved past it.
Oh, hi. Thanks for taking criticism well! That's something a lot of people could work on.
I'm sorry, but there is a qualitative difference between, eg, a Java application running on a modern JVM and a Python application executing through the CPython runtime, neither of which are toys.

(Although it's true that CPython is one of the few extant members of a dying breed.)

The connotations of "compiled" and "interpreted" might have plenty to do with vague expectations, but the words still mean something in the context of language implementation: even though it is reasonable to call the situations you list "compilation", it would not be accurate to call a language that was compiled to LLVM IR, then interpreted with lli, "compiled".
It's called anchoring: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchoring

Basically, you put a stake in the ground and you measure relative to it. Of course, the stake is so wrong for the buyer that anything is really a good deal in relation, but not necessarily in absolute terms.
This is such an amazing discussion between two legends, who are both watching the same events unfold, but with widely varying perceptions of them.

What I find particularly fascinating is how much more real this feels, and how much more I think I learned from it, than I would from conversations held over blogs (as it had been for quite a while). Real-world communication is still much higher-bandwidth than the virtual world, apparently.
So how did he do that? (High level explanation is fine)
The features are listed on the homepage
No, according to README.md re3 works natively on arm64.
This has been used for years, but only recently became weaponized.

I can recall in the early 80s, going to ACT UP meetings in NYC, we'd have random people come in and raise crazy issues about "racism" like "the word 'gay' is racist! You need to say 'queer'!"

Often these people who came to throw a monkey-wrench into meetings weren't gay men; they were just old-school Greenwich Village agitators. Their tactics work and have been mainstreamed.
So my questions stems from that I had trouble sleeping as an early teenager and did a sleep study - and it was only one night. Are other sleep labs to check for sleep apnea or other problems generally multiple nights then? It sounds like they'd need to be to get accurate data.
I think he took Joe Rogan as a template. Be curious, let people talk, maybe know something about the topic, don't judge, don't have an agenda, make the interview about the guest and not about the interviewer. It's kind of interesting that this is a rare thing today.
Seems incredibly plausible to me. Not that his patients would disagree with him, but that they would no longer trust him.
Getting beaten up by the differently-gifted jocks is beneficial?
Isn’t having a “wallet inspector” what working a salary gig is all about? Low financial risk for pre-determined financial reward?
This game reminds me of Infinifactory by Zachtronics

It was until liberals started to run big businesses, that wasn't supposed to happen, so now companies engaging in freedom of association is actually socialism. Those hippies and nerds weren't supposed to run the show
I did not spend the summer complaining about police militarization. I also believe that every single murderer should be executed (do not confuse that with "every single person convicted of first-degree murder.")
Priced in, as usual (not even meme-ing).
Twitch is not a television channel. Twitch is tens of thousands of television channels.
Care to point out any inaccuracies?
The comic strip Tank McNamara long ago had a Sunday strip that showed the eponymous ex-jock sportscaster stopping into a running-goods store. The weedy sales guy starts piling him up with road shoes, off-roads shoes, racing shoes, warmups, etc., etc. As Tank stands baffled at the cash register, his girl friend says "And to think the ancient Greeks did it naked."

I think it was Running magazine that did not find his amusing.
It should not be comfortable to drive around in a city. You are in a place with lots of people you can harm with your vehicle if you drive around fast, you should be driving slowly and paying close attention to your surroundings.

Proper bicycle infrastructure (separated bike lanes etc.) and quality public transportation is the solution - the comfortable option should generally be to take a train/metro/bus/tram/boat.
What was this magical era of free speech that people keep referring to?
Items three and four I did at my first job (non-technical).

I had been screwing around with software through my teenage years building AOL chat tools and little mods for games - I never considered it for a career.

I was hired as a data entry clerk when I was 18 at a large hospital. The billing department would work in excel and print hundreds of pages a day for data entry clerks to enter into our insurance billing system.

It took me about two weeks before I realized that if I could get them to bring me the spreadsheets on diskettes I could write a program to input the data into the system for me.

It took me a few days to figure it out and then I completely automated my job for about six weeks.

I was busted reading the Dungeon Masters guide in the middle of the day by my boss.

She asked what I was doing and I explained “I am reading the dungeon Masters guide.”

I explained that I had written a tool to automate my job.

I had not signed a PIIA form and I wrote the software at home on my own computer. I guess the company had no legal right to take it, so she offered me $2000 and a promotion to the IT department to give the company the rights to my software.

I was making $7 an hour, so I was very excited at the 2k.

I took it and they fired 15 clerks :(
There's nothing on the surface that seems bad, but it's weirdly creepy and unsettling, not to mention low production values. Doubly so when you see a two year old completely zoned out while watching it - staring, hardly breathing, insensate to the rest of the world.
> How will good be moved?

Same way they are now, on major roads.

> How will the infirm get around?

They use mobility cars or scooters in the bike lanes, is what happens in bike friendly places like where I live.

Funny, I always hear this question from right wing people who otherwise have no interest in helping "the infirm". I'm sure you aren't one of those people, right?

> it seems like a very superficial, quasi-moralistic solution

The alternative solution seems to be "Burn all the fossil fuels, die miserably," so I welcome some sort of alternative.
So what? Failure to disclose is illegal many places for good reason, and the relevant authorities are the ones who need to be doing shit about this. No one expects consumers to regulate other areas, why tech?
The version if Xenix 286 we had at work came with a cc that was similar to M/S c 5.1. It had the various memory models.

I do not know what your tools were like, but for me it was rather easy except for the usually issues with includes and Libs (assuming I remember correctly) :)

I wish I could have kept a copy for home use when I left the company. I remember it being rather nice
The Gen X'er dream.
The history of these old companies is usually legit - see Wikipedia's List of oldest companies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oldest_companies

Sadly Kongo Gumi, the Nr. 1, was swallowed by another company.
It's pedantry and missing your point about progression to 3.5", but given this is wallowing in retro - you can't forget that the ZX Spectrum went to Microdrive and then, with the Spectrum+3, to the 3" (not 3.5") floppy :)

I don't know why you're being down voted. mRNA and tcell programming is the future of medicine. We may literally not have to worry about pathogen borne, auto immune, or cancer ever again...
Oh, I don't blame him at all. A commercial airliner is a decade long project to undertake. However its clear he was not the leader to lead a company through a crisis.
Not sure what end of the scale of PM OP is on.

It goes from "I make PowerPoints" to "I write unit tests and debug code before I start the deployment."

$250 an hour is great for the bottom 75% of the market though and better than average for anyone not in facebook/google.

I'm a contractor too and the tax breaks you get are essentially another 20% raise.
Is this a new release? I seem to remember hearing about this a while ago...
Political union was a stupid idea, Europeans all have different values that I doubt can be reconciled for the sake of good governance. I doubt the average German cares what a French cheese is called or what the dimensions of the wheel are, as long as it's safe to eat. Similarly, the average Frenchman gives absolutely zero shits about what's happening in Germany as long as there aren't troops forging through the Ardennes.

That and the structure of the EU government is a mess, the parliament has precisely zero impact on decision making and everything is run by the unelected bureaucrats in Belgium.
I am not the author, but I came across it while searching for an open-source solution to manage feature flags, and I was shocked by how good this software is and how little attention it has received up to now.
Couple of top selling books on Facebook , one one Snapchat ( look up on amazon ) , Mastery by Robert Greene and How I Built This podcast by Guy Raz. Enough material to know how to build ten unicorns.
Pointless. They do not care. Even in totalitarian states like the former DDR, most people didn't care. People only start caring when it's too late, when they themselves get affected.

Besides, the technical people don't care either. Many of us may care about our own privacy, but on the whole, we really don't care about what we do to others.

Most of us work for or own companies that directly or indirectly willfully violate people's privacy without thinking twice about the consequences. If only by adding yet another tracker to our apps.

We have no problems feeding our gullible users to the Google beast, yet we should be the ones warning others to take their privacy serious?
Well would you say to someone who is going to look for an IT job in a few years to learn those languages?
Honest question: what exactly is the benefit of of allowing civilian gun ownership, which you imply balances out the "collateral damage" of accidental death?

From a European point of view, it looks absurd. Most criminals here do not use guns because very few are in circulation. Minor conflicts do not escalate into murder, because it's hard to kill without a weapon. And guns are not available for would-be suicides and accidental shootings.

On the other hand, if you're concerned about self-defence, you're free to learn a martial art. No restrictions on that.
you may want to read "Technical Documentation - Detailed analysis of the Dungeon Master and Chaos Strikes Back for Atari ST Floppy Disks" too then http://dmweb.free.fr/?q=node/1429

Unique (derived) tokens that are not equal to any other value.

For example, symbols let you implement a map data structure without having to worry about shadowing built-in properties of the object.
Effective R value and the air barrier are a lot more important than thickness or material (of course material choice factors into R value, but better materials generally hit higher R values at lesser thickness...).

Modern building codes require a vaguely reasonable R value.
your phone has;)
I love this idea, and the pricing seems spot-on.

However, it's not obvious if this is Ruby-only or not? I don't use Ruby, so that's kind of a big deal.
I'd be interested to see the conversion rate from this extension. I wonder if there are any other extensions out there that sneakily do this? Maybe replace advertising on pages with different ads: think replace a coke ad with a pepsi ad.

Edit: I'm pretty sure this is spam since this isn't directly from Wikipedia--the dev company's site is in Japanese-- but it's still raising some interesting ideas in online advertising or spam.
"Unless, perhaps, you're at MobileMe" -- sounds like you've got some gossip to get off your chest. Anything you care to share?
I didn't think very much of it at the time these requests were made, but now that I have seen the effect, pixelating these houses seems like an act of vandalism in itself to me.

Imagine 50 or so years from now, these recordings will be a wonderful document of our times, but in Germany they are now heavily scarred.
Yeah, that $0.48 commission is why I spent a year reading this book three times a day. You caught me.
How about writing your own mantras and them repeating on the book's schedule?
Where is this myth coming from that Google employees are highly paid? That's never been the case as far as I know. The number I'd always heard was 10-20% below market because "ZOMG, IT'S GOOGLE!". As far as top 1%, that's a meaningless metric and I've heard they don't even try for that anymore anyway (e.g. people complaining of a lot of "riffraff" coming in.

Very useful.
I haven't tried the GM seed but I'm hoping for some under-the-hood tweaks for iPod touch, specifically an option for disabling wifi while it's sleep mode (kept on in iOS 4). Waste of battery and useless to me since I've turned off all Push notifications.
Looks like someone messed up the screenshots ... the iOS 4 page is showing a background picture on the 2nd Gen iPod touch - http://d.pr/bs6s.

By the way, the actual page about iOS has been updated with 4.2 info: http://www.apple.com/ios/
I went to your website and I have no idea what it's about. All I see (on the home page) is a "Login" or "Register" button. Your tagline is "Ridiculusly easy filesharing", but I can already share files with people via email or Facebook, why should I use your site? You need to sell me on your site.
IMHO it's because the iOS ecosystem retards that "itch-scratch" development process and promotes the "only-if-it-makes-money" process. Most mid-range SQL tools were created to scratch an itch and the iPad is hardly the target market for high-end tools. I'd imagine you'll get cut down/client versions of FileMaker though (whether that's a good thing is up to you)
I was going to say something similar: Take huge frikkin risks that can sink the world if they fail. You'll make billions and bailouts will cover any downside.
My apologies for mistaking you with the OP. Still, neither one of you has actually answered the question I asked. You offered an analogy for rhetorical effect; surely you can see how that isn't actually an answer.
Tell us why you love Dropbox = 128 MB.

And to think of all the time and wasted energy we spent early on trying to get user feedback. Incentives are a wonderful thing!
Did they stop collecting at some point?

As they just permabanned him, it'd be possible (and great) to have a complete archive, for history preservation.
Cool, I like this. I think I prefer your reuse of the collection literal syntax to the syntax in Guido's proposal.
Interesting - thanks for the explanation. I didn't know that Windows' driver support was that strong.
This explanation seems to ignore the timestamps that are stored along with the hotspots/towers data. What do the timestamps represent?

As a devils advocate, if I'm a developer writing some sort of logging routine I'm including a timestamp without even thinking about how or why it would be used. Its a logger its supposed to have timestamps ;-)
Well, it's a pretty small victory when you consider the copyright troll didn't even really own the copyright in question. If the EFF can't win these cases, we're really in trouble.

I wonder how the case would have gone if Stephens Media had just hired Righthaven as a law firm, rather than try to get cutesy and (I assume) use them as an asset shield.
Just what I was looking for. Thx
Ever go up in a tall building? Your phone sees more towers. But actually, we don't know that "towers my phone sees" is the actual mechanism here.

Apple hasn't explained the algorithm they use to determine what location data to send to the phone. Perhaps they're saying "100 miles" because that's what they do -- send tower data for up to 100 miles around the current tower, depending on tower density for that location.
No worry it's normal text messages :)
This is very true, but the flipside is that the patterns of messages over the network matter, too. Improperly designed communication protocols result in propagation delay, which is different from latency. Many real-world applications indirectly suffer from propagation delay, and many of the largest sites have tricks for minimizing delay, and some large companies even want older protocols abandoned due to their inefficient communication.

The reason LANs generally haven't cared about propagation delay is that they are not using networks already operating near the ultimate bottleneck: the speed of light. Some college campuses I know of have less bandwidth than an iPhone. But for Internet-scale computing, propagation delay is evident.
Nice! Thx

It is not acceptable to suggest using an alpha/beta as a main daily driver. You may not encounter bugs but they certainly do exist. There's a reason that the developer edition is not the release edition. And yes, developer edition is an alpha/beta. Specifically it's the renamed aurora channel which was the renamed alpha. But these days it functions as more of a beta.
Last time I tried poetry it was so broken that it was not even usable. I may try again later.
