> If they had the ability to ignore them, they would.

They do have the ability to ignore laws, lots of government organizations ignore congressional guidance all the time and it only ever comes back to bite them if someone objects loud enough.

The US legal system doesn't "prevent" people from doing anything, we just punish violations and for those violations to be punished someone who cares about the violation has to be aware of the violation.

It's a pretty common meme in cop shows today that "We can't wait for a judge to give us a warrant - let's bust down the door" to which the audience cheers since bad guy is obviously bad, but that is illegal and, it can potentially destroy a case IRL - but only if the defense finds out the entry was illegal.
> this is pretty much a list of implementation flaws, not protocol flaws

I can agree with that but problems outlined are very common so it doesn't really matter. Say, Facebook is major oauth2 provider and doesn't follow most of the spec. As well as lots of popular libraries.
> It’s a violation of my agreement to say how much […] Youtube plays pays.

To me, that would have been a tip-off.
No real need for thermite (and it's a tell).

Flush crypto keys, activate screensaver, kill all active terminal sessions.

If you want to get extra special: scramble the disk keys. Without those, data's good as toast. And that can happen a lot faster than a shred, wipe, or even dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1g

Something to fry your memory might not hurt.
It is a very common way of identifying someone as British. e.g. headlines such as "8 hostages, including 2 Britons", "X million Britons now live in <popular location>" are common.
One thing that makes games special is pushing the envelope. Yes, you can make a game on a very solid stack. But it won't stand out.

I know what you're saying, but I wonder how true that is, and my analogy is the movie and music industries. You can make a very successful movie or album without pushing any technical envelopes, infact there are people who consciously and deliberately use "obsolete" tools and techniques.
Fine, if you don't perceive value, then you are not part of the target market for this product/project. Enjoy your current choice of hardware and software.

Other people may see value where you do not however.
yes, what about it man?
What's the point of using linked lists ? Low memory ? I'll never understand why the usage of linked lists is so common.

I mean you don't have fast random access with linked list, aren't hash maps just better for fast insertion/deletion ? Object pools are also pretty great too.

I'll never forget the day a classmate in some game programming school argued that linked list were like vectors (std::vector).

Linked lists only seems viable for insertions, they're not viable for fast deletion since you need to search for the pointer first. Maybe you need to index linked lists instead, but since the heap already allows itself to be fragmented like a linked list can, wouldn't it be better to just use vectors as often as possible so it can be more cache friendly ?
Absolutely worth it. It's not ideal, but how else could we advance such technology that could help the paralyzed?
Well, that’s what animals are for honestly. They didn’t volunteer but we’ve deemed it “humane” nonetheless for our own moral comfort.
Yeah also shielding from other parts of the company.

What would make you more inclined to having developers report to you?
I agree. Being dismissive doesn't mean you're right, either. It would be quite foolish of me to claim otherwise.
A polynomial always includes a member (monomial) with the power zero. It seems natural, therefore, to index the coefficients correspondingly. In other situations, 1 may be the more natural starting index.
Are there other non-IBM companies that have a lot of active mainframes? I was under the impression that the vast majority of mainframes in use were System Z or its kin, but maybe I'm just falling for marketing.
I read what you meant, not what you said, had the same question.
I live in a developing country. Taxes are a problem. Crime is a problem. Buying fresh chicken is a problem (which I actually tried to tackle with a startup)
Sounds like why I use sublime instead of $POPULAR.
We already know all possible phone numbers. I think the value would be in associating it with at least one more piece of data to correlate it with other data. At least tie it to some sort of demographics, but preferably an exact individual.
> Maybe it's still happening but we no longer hear the names

We do hear the names, it's just difficult to recognise which ones are going to be the names that echo for generations.

I would be completely unsurprised if articles like this were written about Tao in 50 years' time.
Got bought out by Zoom, and given their reputation for security/privacy, many users ditched Keybase quicker than rats from a sinking ship.

It's almost like Zoom forgot that Keybase users are more likely from the more technical end of the spectrum and thus more security conscious.
Thank you. Do you work in this area?
I'm curious to see whether this will end up like Bolivian coup.

The advent of electric cars made rare earths equivalent to oil.

I wouldn't wish to any small/weak country to have significant reserves of them.
How? Are you using custom JDK with Wayland?
You can use it without signal?
Why didn't they just integrate with Etherium then?
If they're all hosted on aws you'll have a bad day if it ever goes down.
The Prince is surprisingly easy a read and somewhat house-of-cardlish, let me reply here to take note on your dig-deeper suggestions for when I'm over it.
I will get worried when NVidia releases CUDA-Rust, and changes their GPGPUs from C++ memory model to Rust, Microsoft decides to rewrite WinUI in Rust, Apple moves Metal from C++ into Rust, or Unreal/Unity get rewritten in Rust.
There are lines in my Emacs config files that are older than some of the programmers I work with, so I can relate.

Contrary to what some people think, Emacs does not require constant tweaking and wasting time on configuration. I revisit my setup every couple of years or so, and I always find it is time well spent, as my productivity goes up as a result.

I do not know of a better environment for multi-language programming, and I often look around and try different things to see if they match up.
The ideal of Silicon Valley (and of the U.S. in general) is that good-faith business failure shouldn't carry a lasting punishment. I like that. The last thing that I want is for us to become like many European and Asian societies where failure is shameful and often treated as permanent.

That said, the Valley's true attitude toward failure is deeply classist. If you're well-connected because your daddy golfs with VCs, then you can take big risks with your startup knowing that, even if it fails, they'll just have it acqui-hired and give you another one. If you tire out in the pilot seat, they'll make you a VP at Facebook or Google and it's up to you whether you actually do any work for the next 3 years. This isn't some general policy of tolerating good-faith failure by talented people. It's protecting a social class. (Oh, and they excuse a lot of bad-faith failure, as well.)

On the other hand, if you're from middle-class or lower origins, the results of failure in the Valley are very much Old World. I worked at Google 3 years ago, drew the manager with a 5-year history of using phony performance issues to tease out subordinates' health issues and then fucking with them. (I have cyclothymia, which sometimes produces hypergraphia.) Between that, and a quixotic attempt to save a major component of Google+ from complete failure (with a suggestion that had a lot of engineer support, and would have worked) I... ended up with more of a mailing-list presence than I should have had. You could say that this was a fuck-up on my part and you wouldn't be wrong. And here's the thing... 3 years later, I still get shit for it: job offers shot down, ill-informed comments about me on Hacker News, etc.

So excuse me when I say this, but fuck this classist double standard about failure. I had to fight through mountains of shit over a bunch of stupid mailing-list posts, most of which were dead-to-rights accurate, and that failed more because of their tone rather than content... but if you're rich and well-connected and cause a company to melt down, ending 150 jobs, through mismanagement and reckless risk-taking, you're a hero? How the fuck does that make any sense? And why do we excuse people who do things that are actually unethical as if slimy behavior were the same thing as first-iteration roughness of a new product, when it's clearly not?

The actual Silicon Valley is one where if you're well-connected, you can fail all over the place in ways that actually hurt people, and that's OK. If you're perceived as an outsider (see: Ellen Pao) then even the slightest mistakes will give people cause to destroy your reputation. Let's get rid of all this nonsense-- the clubby VCs, the slimy back-channeling-- and figure out a way to start fresh. I absolutely agree that the stigma on good-faith business failure out to go away. I'd love to see a world where small-business bank loans didn't require personal liability (defeating the purpose of limited-liability protections) and where mid-risk/mid-growth ("lifestyle") businesses (instead of get-big-or-die gambits) could find funding. But there's a classist, duplicitous edifice that we may have to take down first.
I would think that Android is a lot better than the BlackBerry, but mostly because I've spent time developing and sleeping with both. The BlackBerry is a serious pain in the ass to develop for, so it has been tough.
Does it not stand to reason that if your field is "neurotheology", you need to be "open to both perspectives"?
I was waiting for reviews of the wakemate but now I think I'm getting a Zeo. At least it will know when I'm awake and not my girlfriend.

Logging just the movement of the wrist is almost useless. It's better to properly monitor the different phases of sleep trough the night measuring brain activity.
How long ago did you get the actual device? I got mine yesterday. Yet to get anything from Google in email. There's no links on google.com/tv for developers, either. The closest is just one page with "more information coming soon." http://www.google.com/tv/developers.html
Thanks for posting this. I'm glad you've had a great experience so far, and I'm glad you still use the device as much as you do. You're probably our best beta tester! :)
As an Etacs user, yes, I care very much as to whether they are shutting down or being acquired.
This shows one problem with "random" beta testers, in the fact they might not be that random and actually want to see the device succeed and thus their feedback is biased.
I'm not sure. My best friend is an almost an LPC, I can ask her. She's worked with kids aged 4-18, and it's always the older kids she's most worried about. She's working with 13-18 year olds right now, but really wants to go back to 6-12 year olds because she feels like there's a bit more hope for them.
Three instances in a single party? Sounds pretty bad.

Are you sure the girl was uncomfortable with the fact that a co-worker had his arm on her and not that you were starting at her and analyzing it? The former is pretty normal as far as friendships go.
Missing or reduced sense of smell, reduced sense of taste.
There has also been success with Avastin (bevacizumab), although the WHO does not seem to be pursuing it.

The headline is misleading, this isn't a ventilator, this is an emergency mask. Great project though!
> I don't see how doing poorly performed studys that tell us nothing is of any help.

Erm, even poorly designed studies tell you if there's any efficacy to expect or not. And it leads to better studies afterwards.

Science is iterative.
This calls for a widely accepted "now" specification
Who can I connect with on LinkedIn to learn more about open positions at your org?
However, if it's too long, they'd know you must be older than 30, because it would have taken too long to grow.

Beard length is a fine balance...
> (1) Developers should be making more than what they are

As a developer, I'd love to agree with this. In fact, I do. But in our experience this isn't directly related to the talent shortage (again, we have never been unable to make a compelling offer to a candidate).

> (2) Why should startups be entitled to cheap labor?

I don't think they should be. All our senior devs have generous compensation which easily adds up to $150k+.
It feels dreary because you feel you have nothing left to strive for because you're only measuring your progress by your salary. Find another way to feel accomplished. 350k total comp is enormous and I don't know how you could expect to be even that valuable let alone more valuable to an enterprise (unless you're exceptional, in which case you would not be asking this question).

BTW I'm not judging you. I'm just saying I don't know why you would expect that that is not indeed your top earning potential given your skillset.

Author here. I implemented[0] a stripped-down server that includes the MPMC functionality. Should be a good starting point for alternative implementations. It really shows how simple the concept is under the hood. All it really does is translate HTTP requests into golang channels.

IMHO tesla is probably the company that’s the most likely to get a class action lawsuit at the first disappointment on their product. People got over musk overhyping unlikely features and making promises he couldn’t hold, because ultimately they were happy with their car, but he went so far he can’t make any kind of mistake.
But Mathematica, on the other hand...
I think we're reading the parent comment in very different ways. I think the key word was seen, just like the quote from the article says the managerial class is still capable of wielding power.

Basically anyone in public policy circles, even on the right, should know some labor history. But America hasn't seen a major private-sector strike victory in 20 years, and the 1997 UPS strike was a rare exception: "traditional" mass strikes haven't been a major force since the 1980s at best. It's true that pattern bargaining and labor laws have decreased the need for mass strikes since the bad old days, and people sometimes forget that OSHA and the NLRB are not a replacement for labor power but a consequence of it. But it's also true that union membership, labor bargaining power, and the union 'edge' over nonunion labor have been in decline for decades. The heyday of the UAW, the AFL-CIO, and the UFW was over by the 1980s, and even where labor has made substantial gains since they've come through courts and legislation rather than grassroots action. Even for someone who's been in public policy for 30 years, grassroots labor action has basically been a historical topic, not an active concern.

Harlan County was the cradle of the modern labor movement, but for 30 years its only political relevance has been as a symbol of the Democrats losing their labor support. I only know how things used to feel from movies and songs, not from anything that's happened in my lifetime. Maybe that'll change, the miners struck just months ago, but they haven't won yet. I've never seen grassroots labor wield power either, but that's not the same question as asking whether I know what it used to be like, or whether I want it to come back.
>pass a law that all current property rights are guaranteed, but only rights recognized under current CA law are conveyed at sale.

Part of a right of ownership is to be able sell or otherwise dispose of property (or the rights thereof).

Saying you can own it, but not sell it isn't ownership. At best, it's usufruct.
Also, others have mentioned getting a trainer. That's probably a good investment. I didn't but it was because my lifting buddy's wife is a trainer for athletic teams and helped me with my form the first month and she still works out with us from time to time. Her input was invaluable in helping me maintain my training. I had a bad back for a very long time and lifting has helped tremendously but only because she was able to instill proper form in me early!
I more or less compulsively downloaded this, and started skimming it. I'm not an assembly-language programmer, but I thought I at least knew how to read an assembly listing.

But right there on page 8, in the MIPS and ARM "functions that return a constant", is an example of "branch delay slots", which (a) I've never heard of, and (b) failure to grok them makes a two line function incomprehensible.

Fortunately, I like learning things.
Oh yes, this is something I've slipped up on. I get so pumped up sometimes I feel a need to share it with the world. Unfortunately I'm not trying to be a social media star, so I do need to keep it private. Thank you for reminding me.
I believe Nim also has generics and macros.
Wireframes are maps, not models.

Author doesn't seem to know what a wire frame is. And doesn't seem to have any concept of how UI/UX should be done.

Wireframes are typically used for determining how much of each screen something will take up. After that you move to a Mock up.

You don't need to see video play to know that the video is going to be too small if the Logo is 1600x800 on the page.

A wire frame should be more like the pencil sketch or white board image that you use to talk about what is going to where, and to be used as a "map". It doesn't convey what things will really look like as much as give you an idea of where things are and how much real estate they take up.

Think of a wireframe like a relief map. It tells you how tall the hill is, and where the canyon is, not how beautiful it will be or what color. A blue print tells you where the studs in the building will go, but you get a better picture of how the building will look from a little Styrofoam model. They are both important, but they aren't the same thing.
First learn Relational fundamentals correctly from Chris Date and Fabian Pascal, then branch out into other more trendy stuff like NOSQL.

Google is clearly making a play for the enterprise using small to medium businesses as a beachhead.

It has been noted here that the world's most widely used database is Microsoft Excel. This is because enterprise software is about top-down control of workflow and processes -- it's solidified corporate policy/politics! As a result, enterprise software sucks. In order to work around maladapted restrictions imposed by enterprise software, the most productive workers take their processes and automation into spreadsheets like Excel, where they can adapt quickly to changing conditions. Often, the most successful of these processes are then built into enterprise applications, to become the new status quo.

Google wants small and transitional medium sized businesses to outsource much of their IT to them and to run their spreadsheets on Google's apps. Google hopes that this will allow them to do with ad-hoc processes in spreadsheets what they did with web links: organize and unify a huge collection of disparate linkages to create value. When a company has all of its spreadsheets in Google apps, users will be able to link data in disparate spreadsheets. This network of links will be subject to analysis. New business processes will be absorbed from the ad-hoc spreadsheets into the enterprise more quickly and efficiently. This will have tremendous value to companies, especially small and medium sized ones, some of which will grow into giant conglomerates. If this works, Google stands to dwarf the achievements of Microsoft.

EDIT: This remote desktop stuff is just a selling point in support of larger goals.
I'm betting on an 8" disk for an old CP/M box.
Could you elaborate a bit more about the difference between an exchange and a dealer? Thanks!
Really hope they pull this off.

The initial target of the M1 Mini is probably the smart choice, I'd imagine all the power management stuff in the laptops might be a big task to reverse engineer
Sure, yes. Capitalism is private ownership and markets. I get that. But when you extrapolate that core idea out, you realize that private ownership means by definition that people get left behind. Poverty and exploitation are built into the system - “i own this means of production and i can pay you whatever the market will bare”

Socialism, shared ownership, implies a sharing of profits. If we are all owners, why should you suffer while i profit?

We generally all agree that capitalism has no place in specific areas. E.g. we don’t allow markets for human organs. Most countries besides the US extend that out to their entire medical system. I see a lot of places where these ideas could reduce suffering and limit labour exploitation. E.g. housing, food, health care, and education. I’d never stand here and argue for all out socialism, but i’d like to slide down that slope a while until we arrive somewhere where there aren’t homeless encampments filling the margins of our cities and people working full time while living in their cars.

The code that used to be perfectly portable still exists, fork it and keep using it.

But if you're asking for a project to be maintained, then it means you want maintainers to put more work to keep new code working on an old platform. Constraints of old/niche platforms cause extra work for developers when adding new features or improving security.
They should offer places when you can buy cards in a queue using normal pricing instead of these fleecers trying to make a profit on shortages.
I was lucky to test into the gifted program in high school in the mid-late 80s in poor rural US nowhere, it worked exactly like that - kids demonstrate ability to get selected (not race/status), as the resources were very slim. It allowed me to use/learn the TRS-80/3 and Apple ][e and make a career in tech - there is absolute value in these programs for the kids as an anecdotal story from one of them decades later. ;)
Everyone has trouble accepting criticism to some degree or another. I've found that with younger engineers this is some amount of imposter syndrome that can express itself in different ways. One way I've found to break through is to highlight all of the positive things I notice in a PR. Even if it's something that should be expected (eg. "Thanks for writing this test!") the positive re-enforcement helps with confidence and softens the blow when you do point out some areas for improvement.
