I appreciated that. I also appreciated them being vague about the reasoning. No need to call Gawker out.

Fortunately I wasn't emailed by hint.io. I know they meant well, but it feels shady, considering they headed off other people working to accomplish similar goals (presumably without sending from their startup's domain)[1]

Read the Starkiller dissertaion (for Python): http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.90....

The compiler gives enormous optimizations for certain (admittedly extremely specialized) numerically intensive programs / calculations. Of course, if the compiler was developed further (it might be, actually), you'd probably see optimizations for larger sets of programs.
It would be interesting to see this with full spectral progression
What I want to know is, were the 10MM pairs all people who make their friendship data public? For people in urban areas, this is sufficiently anonymous. But for those faint dots in the middle of nowhere, is it?

I think very carefully before I reveal any information publicly about my users. Sometimes seemingly aggregate information isn't.
You should use your RDBMS for that kind of stuff, all the good ones can log everything you ever wanted to know about your database queries.
Somewhat off-topic trivia: Vanilla is the only orchid grown for food, it is native to Central America, but most grown commercially comes from Madagascar. It is dependent, in the wild, on pollination from a particular moth. Since that moth doesn't live in the areas where most vanilla is grown, virtually all commercial vanilla is hand pollinated.
The visualization definitely wasn't done in R. I'm guessing he used Gephi (see, for example, http://gephi.org/2010/map-geocoded-data-with-gephi/).
It's not about a single 50mil element array. It's about sub-optimal code running in a bunch of places and it adds up. But in any case this probably won't be the bottleneck.

Still I am a fan of running the most optimal code possible on the server. Absolutely no reason not to.

Client-side js is different. Often times algorithmic optimizations have no impact (unless we are talking about animation.)

I would not trust people who do not respect optimizations like these to run code on my server.
I see where you are coming from, and I think this was a very well-reasoned argument.

In my opinion though, your argument prioritizes browser vendors over users, and over the competitiveness of the web vs. competing technologies like native apps.

Let's take your scenario, where somehow the Dart VM become becomes noticeably faster than Dart2JS on Google properties, to the point that users notice and get a better experience by using a browser with the Dart VM embedded.

First of all I'd mention that there is a natural competitive pressure that keeps Gmail and other Google properties "honest" so-to-speak. Chrome is far from being the only web browser, and if Gmail is perceived as being slow compared to other webmail websites, Gmail will suffer accordingly. Gmail has no incentive to cripple the speed of JS-only browsers; it has the incentive to make its app as fast as it possibly can on all major browsers.

So if hypothetical future Dart-Gmail is noticeably faster than JS Gmail, then it is likely for some fundamental reason of Dart being more optimizable, and not because of any lack of effort to make the JS version fast.

At this point, where the Dart version is faster for purely technical reasons, you say that "adopting the VM might be the only option" for other browsers. I would say first of all that it seems that there are other options, like compiling Dart to asm.js in a very peripheral part of the browser so that you wouldn't have to change your core execution VM. Given that the Dart VM is open source, this would be adding a new backend to an existing compiler (sort of like you did with Emscripten and LLVM), and not an effort comparable to developing a new compiler from scratch. It's true that this would require you to adopt some third-party code, but it would keep the Dart VM out of your browser, if not the Dart compiler.

But suppose that even that wasn't acceptable or feasible. Now the question is, is it better for (some) users to get the advantage of technology that has demonstrated that it is inherently faster, at the cost of other vendors being pressured into adopting this (standardized) technology, or is it better for all users to be equally disadvantaged, to keep the browser playing field more level?

As you surely know, browsers aren't just competing against each other, they are competing against other app platforms like native apps. If the web stays a little slower but all browser vendors are more equal, then the whole web is falling behind compared to the other, far less open and level, app platforms.

Now all of this discussion is quite premature until/unless Dart is actually distributed as part of Chrome, and the Dart VM is actually found to be noticeably faster than regular JavaScript, and Google actually uses Dart on its big properties.
It saddens me such a cynical response made it to the top. I will use this app. Some days I walk to a local park to meditate. Some days I go to the meditation class we have at work. However, some days I plan to use this app, even if for just the 2 minute meditation. In my experience, in regards to stress prevention even 2 minutes of meditation is better than none.

I don't think they're quite as different as you think, but, it sounds like we agree. Two different ways of doing the same thing. To me, being different from what most people in software engineering are used to really doesn't sound so bad, judging from our industry's track record.

A faction of intellectual or pseudointellectual bloggers (depending on your opinion) - it is probably easier to say what they are against progressive politics and modernity, than what they are for - but at times they have openly or covertly advocated wanting to do some/all of bring back monarchy, return to traditional gender roles, abolish the distinction between church and state, isolationist foreign policies, racial segregation or "scientific racism" and so on.
So, its pretty easy to see why they are quite controversial.
Crowdfunding has been huge for hardware startups too.
I feel like the new name misses the mark. It feels like it's been shoehorned in somehow.

Different source but same concepts, I'll repeat what I said then.

Takes more than 5 minutes but worth the effort: replace Apache.

Nginx, Lighttpd, Cherokee, Zeus, LiteSpeed, etc. All use far fewer resources.
Then do you consider only venture-funded technology startups? After all, most of the folks on the technology list got there through venture funding. Do you consider only startups where the founders quit their day job? Do you consider ones where the founders eventually quit their day jobs, but not until their startup had traction in the marketplace? (That would include Apple and EBay, FWIW.) Do you consider any technology project that may become a startup?

The original thread-starter wants to know the chances of making the Forbes 400, given that he becomes a tech entrepreneur or financier. He rightly points out that this depends a lot on the denominator - but the denominator depends a lot on how you slice the categories of "tech entrepreneur" and "financier". There are a large number of factors besides entrepreneurship that alter the odds, and many of them alter the odds a lot more than the mere fact that you've started a company.
I find it ambiguous, but on the whole probably a good sign. A negative part is that it appeals to the needy ego. A postive aspect is that it maybe signals a knowledge of the Spolsky school of management, which is a clear improvement over average companies.

But it's not as informative as other signs. For example, programming language choices and transparency. In this regard, the most impressive company I know is Relevance:

Other good companies include Freiheit and RethinkDB:

Case in point: when I was younger and played soccer, we had one ref who before the game would go over rules with us. Invariably, he'd ask us what offsides was. A younger kid would always give him the book answer for the league: being ahead of the ball with less than two defenders between you and the goal (goalie counts as one). He'd quickly then say "no! offsides is this." and point to his whistle. The point was very clear... He had the final call on what was offsides, so there was no use complaining if we had a different opinion.

He was actually a quite fair ref.
It seems like they changed the following since the last version:

GHC 7.0.2 -> 7.0.3 and text 0.11.0.5 -> 0.11.0.6.

So this is a pure bugfix release, as the version number would indicate.
Slightly tangential note. I read Steven Levy's book last week - it is a very good read. If you are even remotely interested in technology and entrepreneurship (which is probable give the site you are seeing this on :) ) - you should definitely go read this.

The parts on Google's early years are very nice. The chapter on Google in China is also phenomenal.

I agree with all that. I'd also add that I think the desire to get hired and be mentored is a common mistake. Coworkers don't have time to sit down and teach you 1on1. But what they do have time for is helping a coworker out if they are struggling on something. No they won't do your job for you but if theres something you don't understand ask for help. If you have to ask twice you didn't take good notes. Not asking more than once may seem insignificant, but people will notice that you don't pester them with the same questions over and over. They may know that you are not as experienced as they are but they will know you are on the right track and competent. Nobody learns everything overnight. You only get out what you put in.
Lastly, if you don't like your coworkers, find a company with people you can work with.
He could broaden the team a bit with his vote overruling if needs be. That would certainly help.

If you wanna do any consumer facing web stuff, you gotta code in js in one way or another. So, if you don't do any web stuff that's fine but other people doing any serious front or back end web stuff have to master the language to get the maximum out of their work.

Anyway, good luck with your darling langs
Well I own a copy since 4th March, this is not the most recent news to me.

It's a very good game, and works pretty well.

My biggest complain it's no controller support.
I think there's a bit of FUD in your statements. I also believe that those who supported the bailout are the same who stood to lose the most i.e. the wealthy. I believe that the bailouts will only further encourage the same behavior and prolong the inevitable.

I got fired personally by the CEO of a midsize company I was working for last time I was employed (I was, despite the size of the company, a direct report of his), for some combination of insubordination, chronically coming in late, and generally being a political nuisance. Amidst his litany of admonishments, he told me that I am one of those people who just needs to be running his own business. At the time, I assumed that was sardonic and snarky; I now realise he was genuinely prescient.

And so, after my 6th job in 3.5 years, I decided to do what I had been itching to do for the last 2 or 3 of them, but not had the balls to do, given the conventionality of the steady W-2 paycheck. I've been running my VoIP consultancy for almost 36 months now and I am still here, growing steadily and slowly - but growing. It's twice the work, half the money, but I'm a whole lot happier for it. I don't think I would be exaggerating to say that I needed someone to kick me in the ass and push me out of the plane, or I might not have gone down this path for quite a while yet.

Ironically, and pleasantly, the same CEO sent me a lot of consulting work, especially early on, and continues to be an important relationship for me. When I occasionally come in, he shakes my hand and says it's nice to see me and asks, "how's business?"

Well, the buggy / unstable is visible in the WWDC videos, which are available for free (to developers). It's no great surprise that someone "leaked" something so widely available.

It's a preview release, I still have high hopes, it looks like they've improved a number of things pretty significantly. And here's hoping for an extension API of some sort!

You're appealing to emotions, not logic. It's not a good way to make decisions.
datawalke, you know about elance right? No it isn't high salaries, but as your "rank" increases, your rate increases and there is a ton of work on there.

I'm not saying do it full time, just walk out of this currently nonsense situation and do elance for a few months while you look for another full time job.

You'll be amazed at how many opportunities there actually are in this world that don't suck once you start looking.

You'll be fine dude!
kochbeck,

I think your heart is in the right place, but if this guy sues his boss (from what we've read) his boss will fight him until time ends, he'll be broke, and his lawyer will be driving around his new car.

Suing always sounds great on paper until you actually do it, and if it's for any serious amount of money you start to see the nasty side of the legal system.

Don't waste the energy on it, just run away. Call into work and tell them you have Legionnaire Disease and never come back :)
We have evolved the ability to pursue goals that are more fulfilling than simply "Passing on the genes". That's why, for one thing, we have condoms. People can consciously decide whether to have children or not, and I believe most educated people agree that this is a good thing. There is no reason why we should allow evolution (which has zero foresight) to dictate what's good for us.
Yes, this. My level of exercise hasn't really changed. I just didn't want to imply that I was sitting around doing nothing, and losing weight solely from the sugar. I'm sure the exercise was a huge part of that, but I definitely saw more weight loss the past month after cutting out the sugar than I did previously from the same level of activity.
This isn't true everywhere. In Australia stripe charges 1.75% for Visa/MC and 2.9% for Amex.

Thank you for succinctly putting forward the argument I've been trying to make against this legislation.

I'm not saying google is a saint, or even evil but this legislation is just plain wrong. Google have provided an optional free service to the media, and its now pretty much an essential service to them. Another poster said they get 70% of their traffic redirected from google.

The Australian government is playing clear favorites here. They are penalizing a successful company, and rewarding a bunch of other companies that are struggling - Even though their problems are not related to google's success.

And its even more blatant what the game is when you see that the legislation specifically prevents google from paying SBS or ABC - The two highly respected and popular government-funded media networks. The current conservatives government has been cutting their funding and generally trying to kill them for many years.

This isn't true. Neural networks doesn't have state of the art performance in many areas, there is no way they would use them for everything.

One thing that the Central/South American and Indian diets add to this baseline set of ingredients is Spices!

These add little difference nutritionally, but make the world of difference in whether this diet seems bland or repetitive; with care they don't need to add a huge cost either, stored well they can be bought in bulk and the cost amortized.
This is a serious issue. We're also really interested in recognizing individuals for the work they've done. There is a ton of content available, P2PU is working to build a community around all that content.
The anti-birther movement is more concerned about attacking birthers than ending the whole the issue. Legitimate questions should get answers. Are you into censorship too?
The weirdest thing to me about this Kindle is the price point--why not drop another $15 and make it $99? At $114, it just doesn't seem very appealing, but I feel like they could sell a ton of them advertising it as "under $100".
more people should write posts like this so the myth of "eating healthy is more expensive". And it doesn't need to be boring food like in this post. Italian peasants have been spending much less than $3 a meal for centuries and have one of the healthiest diets around.

This just means Geekbench isn't good at scaling to multiple cores. It could be the workload or the implementation. If you have the right workload and a good implementation, modern processors do scale reasonably well (all numbers with Threadripper 3970X):

Cinebench R15: 206 single, 7302 multi, 35.4x scaling

POV-Ray: 9:02 single, 0:19 multi, 28.5x scaling

The scaling can be greater than the number of physical cores due to SMT. On the other hand, turbo clocks increases the single-core speed by 10% or more on most CPUs.
This is where CAPTCHAs come in, unfortunately.
> what happens if someone develops an Open Source product that works better than the proprietary alternative, and the proprietary alternatives get wiped out entirely?

Well, we know what happens. Consider the compiler business. In the 80's, compilers cost real money. Today, compilers are free and are far better.

Although in the 80's I once counted 30 independent C compiler vendors. Those companies all dwindled away one by one.
Or drive a truck full of money to Intel HQ to pay them to do it.

Probably need to be a lot of money though.
So you want that all binaries are packaged in 2 formats, one for AMD and one for Intel, basically all binaries will be double in size? Imagine Google code would detect if you run on Chrome and use native functions but for other browsers(including Chromium forks) will just load polyfils because checking if the feature exists is too much to ask.
Tinder is completely different. Initial matching is based on looks, and the emphasis is on dating/sex rather than friendship.

OkCupid was based on knowledge and attitudes as well, using a type of machine-assisted learning that deduced what people really find important to know about each other. Rather than what someone designing a questionaire assumes. And rather than people relying on looks, impulsive attraction, and random early conversations where people are winging it.

The central idea, in addition to free-form profiles, was users submitted a lot of answers to multiple-choice questions, as well as the answers they would like a potential match to have (because they might be different), and how important each answer was to them. So this worked well for people who were looking for attributes that complemented theirs, in addition to other attributes where similarity was what mattered.

In addition, users could submit questions, and over time the system grew to mainly ask those questions that were found to be statistically useful in matching people up.

This meant great questions for matching would rise to the top of the pool, while poor questions, or badly written ones, or unhelpfully ambiguous ones, would not.

This also meant that the kinds of things people ended up matching on were more diverse than any other site. So it really helped people find matches on non-mainstream attributes that mattered to them personally, that were not generally reflected on other sites (such as match.com...). Things like how much do you like your partner to dress as a goth, do you mind if your partner sleeps with other people too, and if not what about cuddling others without sex, not just what's your orientation, but effectively what subtle aspects of orientation that haven't been formally enumerated, does it bother you if your partner supports a particular type of politics, what about bedtimes, what is your approach to raising children (smack or never smack), do you like drugs and if so what kind, etc. Basically anything you can think of which humans actually care about.

It was an excellent way to find people that shared your attitudes and worldview, especially if you had non-mainstream interests.

Tinder will give you none of that.
Have you tried WPS Office? It kind of works for the things I do, but I am not an advanced Excel user.

It may not be so much assumption that about being left alone but instead requirement to quote the time that will be used for billing. You can't pad that, it will be 20 days of work that client should pay for but that 20 days may be spread over next 3 months. Problem is that neither management or client hears that part even when they are repeatedly told multiple times.

Exact same thoughts here!
Yes.

I mean I would never put my own money into something that is more volatile than the share market. At least in share market I can see it coming, except rate crashes and when that happens everything goes down not just my own holding.

It Bitcoin it can be a bug, a hack, or just many Bitcoin holders dumping Bitcoins. Also it never made sense to me that I could have been richer if I had access to those fancy super-fast CPUs to "mine" the Bitcoins. Maybe I missed the gold rush but then again I don't want to encourage another absurdly overpriced commodity which really have no meaning (or rather say "value") in real world except some overenthusiastic people and the "hoarders" trying to push it up.
