"Available" meaning "reasonable to expect to support a userbase the size of EC2's with." If you start with "gotta run standardish x86_64 Red Hat or Ubuntu by the million or so" and work outwards from there, you're not really in a space where bulletproof hardware looks tempting. VCPU lock-stepping might, though.
Also modern compilers should be able to use frequency information from profile feedback to inform the register allocator. So it's unclear the static register allocation scheme is really that much better.

In her case it was probably not the working hours, but the working hours rewarded with hate. That kills your morale and energy more than anything else. When you put in effort for others - achieve your goals, but still get kicked.
The Fed just implements the monetary policy of the Government in power. The board of governors are appointed by the president. The problem lies with Government and the failed economic policies they stick with through thick and thin i.e. Neo-liberalism.
Cloudflare seems like a promising stock, but the dual-class shares really put me off. It doesn't even look like Class B is even traded; at least for, say, Google, you can buy their Class B stock.
Further, such users usually want to be able to repeat a test case: start from the same seed, get the same sequence. They don't want true randomness, they want a repeatable sequence with good statistical properties.
When I pick up my children from a small fall, and I laugh belittling the hit, they do not feel mocked at, instead laughing with me. I think the kind of insecurity that makes you suspect that people are laughing at you comes later - and if you don't have crappy parents you don't even come close to suspecting that your parents might be laughing at you...

Obviously you don't laugh with big falls and broken arms.
LuaJit is simply feature complete. There are is nothing to add to it.

The newer versions of Lua basically implemented features that LuaJit already had or that would mean a performance trade off. I am still using Lua 5.1 (which is from 2012) because there is no reason to upgrade.

If you design something well, you don't need to push new features every year. Stability is underrated.

The thing I keep getting suspicious about is occasionally network traffic will stop, I begin troubleshooting with a traceroute, and then coincidentally traffic will resume. It feels like the traceroute fixed the problem but it must just be my imagination. Right?
I’ll say the opposite. Lay in bed. Watch TV. Go to the movies. Go to Starbucks.

Thanks so much for this! Really appreciate the encouragement and the tips!

What I've noticed is that, sometimes our struggles in the "external" world stem from un-resolved issues with our inner world or our close relationships. Not assuming that's the case for you, but just a general observation.

There's others reasons why you want as much heat dissipation as possible, as wide as possible in a high end camera, however. Many cameras are limited in their 2160p30 and 2160p60 video recording times by heat build up. Also now 6k and 8k capable cameras. The cooler your cfexpress card can run, the less cumulative watt hours built up in the camera body during a "long" 20-30 minute recording session.

Some that are designed with a focus on video recording have active cooling and fans for the cpu and sensor, such as the new Panasonic gh6, or a red Komodo.
The elasticity of the brain is incredibly impressive. Very neat solution. My parents are surgeons, and I know they worry at least a little bit about the safety of their hands. While my hands are definitely very important to my being able to work I know I don't worry as much as they do. That's funny, because for the most part I think about Carpal Tunnel Syndrome as a career-ending condition.

I recently suffered some amount of tendonitis in my wrist and it prompted me to make quite a few changes:

* Better posture

* Better seat adjustment

* A nicer (mechanical) keyboard

* Practising touch typing more (i.e. correcting myself any time I use the wrong finger)

* Resting my wrists evenly

I made all these changes simultaneously so I don't know what changed it or if it was a one-time thing and resting fixed it. An interesting thing is that I found that I overuse my right hand.

`vim` binds simple movements to hjkl and that's fine because they're on the home row, but it also means that a lot of the time I'm holding down one key while reading code. I've switched to moving around code better now, using larger jumps, and when scrolling a lot I use my left hand. I've also rebound some other things so that they're easier with home row keys. Anyway, learning to be faster at all this took very little time. I am very impressed with how fast we learn new acts if they keep repeating them.
Training is seen as competitive suicide, because while you bear the costs of training, your competitors can then poach your trained employees by offering a salary that is less than your total cost for that employee but more than the salary you pay that employee.

X = cost to train employee

Y = salary of employee

Competitor pays Z such that Y < Z < Y+X and puts you out of business.

The second factor is that if you raise wages for one person, then the rest of your workforce expects those wages. So a 10% salary increase for one person quickly becomes an across the board 10% bump on your personnel costs.

Bribing, lobbying, paying PR firms, pulling the wool over people's eyes is all judged to be a smaller expense and a worthwhile cost-saving measure.

The economically viable solution is to have schools do the training, but universities are likely not the best model for getting good tech workers.
I was denied food stamps because of some technicality with my roomate. We are on our own, but he gets foodstamps that covers it for himself. We have a huge bag of rice!

Your too young to give up just yet. You need to get your GED or most companies won't hire you. Not because they have something against you, but as a manager you stick yor neck out a bit when you hire someone and if for some reason it didn't work out their boss might look at them like "wtf were you thinking, this dude didn't even have GED" and then question their own good judgement in the future. It's more about their own risk management then your abilities.

Go find any job you can get, most of my friends did best buy retail. Get your GED then do 1 year of community college taking intro CS classes. Do that and list out all your github stuff in a portfolio, then you will seem much more desirable and at least a defendable risk to take on.

Absolutely; the programmer's wages even today are lower than the were in 2000. Of course 2000 was a peak.

Rather than just looking at general price inflation, you should look at cost-of-living at the tech hotspots (the big cities, silicon valley). That of course makes things even more dire.

Luckily you too can make the next big thing, sell your startup and then live happily as a venture capitalist / philanthropist.

> People outside the US often don't realize it, but the states have more power than the Federal government in many areas.

Especially when a local or a statewide emergency is declared. At that point, all bets are off and authorities can do pretty much whatever they want until someone gets a judge to issue an injunction, which they're a lot less likely to do in a state of emergency unless its gross abuse of civil liberties. Even then, if it goes on long enough, executive power at all levels of government becomes even harder to curtail.
People always talk about the terrible NOISE in open office plans.

For me, I hate the feeling of BEING WATCHED. It's just unnerving. There's people all around me with low cube walls...

* I want to stare ahead as I focus - someone's looking at me.

* I have my big headphones on and am rocking to the music - someone's looking at me.

* I wanna put my head down on desk and think - someone's looking at me.

* I check gmail - someone's looking at me

* redit break - someone's looking at me

* I scrape off dry snot caused by the super-dry office air - someone's looking at me.

* I'm working - someone's looking at me

I just can't be in my own head when I'm so surrounded by people... always there... always right. behind. me.

All the same constraints apply to San Francisco! What little parking exists is expensive and traffic is so bad that getting around by bike is nine times out of ten faster than driving or even transit. That's why SF making (slow) progress.

The real challenge is outside of the dense urban areas, where most people biking are the poor or the undocumented. It's going to require a cultural shift.

Thanks, I will check that out. Based on some comments he made in the past I thought hell would freeze over before Theo went that route! I can't find the original kernel trap post at the moment but it was pretty, um, Theo. But I think it's at least 7-8 years old now so I guess times change.
Cool. Now find a way to accurately measure energy absorbed by the human body from food (which is not necessarily calories printed on the box), and energy expended (which is not necessarily the calorie burn meter on your exercise bike) and that will be useful, actionable information.

The volume of tips would have to increase drastically. In any case, the volume would depend on the price. Slightly off point, it might not be completely unrealistic to imagine a world in which miners do not derive their main source of income from mining. Perhaps miners could running mining programs on SoCs during the day while the miners themselves work other/additional jobs. While the number of miners mining in this way would have to be very large in order for this configuration to be possible, should this be the case, miners wouldn't be nearly as financially dependent on mining, and they could be more immune to fluctuations in the price

On the other hand, you would be complaining that the law was 'too broad' if it only defined it as a 'significant amount' or something equally as nebulous.
This is one of my all time favorite business books. Great summary.

"Be the one who writes the contract." and the Higher Authority gambit are a favorite among VC's.

Also, suggesting something is standard is very popular among VC's and isn't in this book. It works in many spheres. A friend leases parking from the city outside her building. She clamps wheels if you park in a bay without permission and charges $400 for release. She was getting a lot of people complaining about the price. So I told her to say "It's standard", and it worked like a charm. Many more clampees paid up without complaint.

If Google doesn't want this kind of behavior they can always change their algorithm. There's nothing illegal about most 'black hat' SEO tactics so why would Sequoia care?

Everyone takes the same risk that Google will change their algorithms, black hat SEO just ensures they'll stay at the top rather than artificially limiting the techniques they use to gain ranking to those that Matt Cutts approves of.

Google itself engages in 'black hat' SEO as defined by Matt Cutts which is why his team needed to change the algorithms and/or make them not apply to Google's own properties such as Google Local after the panda update.

I think this is possibly the best indication that black hat SEO works.
For another comparison, modern KE sabot anti-tank rounds (what tanks shoot at other tanks) use penetrators weighing from 4 to 8kg, with a muzzle velocity of around 1500m/s, giving a low of end of ~9MJ. Granted, this is ignoring air friction, and must punch through the front armor (much much thicker) than the top armor that bombs go through.

Also... as a cost comparison, JDAM (the US GPS guidance) kits cost 20-30k per kit (you strap them onto 'dumb' bombs). For the actual bomb itself, you're talking on the range of a buck or two per pound... the inert training versions are much cheaper than that. Explosives are cheeapp. Silicon is pricey.

See link below for pricing information! (The Mk-84 is the 2000lb 'dumb' bomb, it's listed along with its training/concrete version).

I disagree. They're illustrative more than condescending, similar to your "rule of thumb".

The idea is that we alter our bodies through external actions in innumerable ways all the time. The idea that "drugs" are somehow different and not part of the human experience strikes me as an oversimplification.

It reminds me of people who don't like things with "chemicals" in them. Chemicals are in everything... and food is the ultimate drug.
Yeah, but I don't get to decide what terms other people opt-in to either.

> Microsoft's main campus

I was wondering if someone would mention Microsoft in a reply.

Yes, there are apartments near there, but Redmond has the same failing as most other suburbs in the area: housing stock woefully inadequate for the number of people working there, and ordinances that artificially restrict building any more. Microsoft's campus is also adjacent to the Bellevue city limits, where residents on the other side of Bel-Red have fought vociferously against new housing for decades.

Meanwhile, SR 520 is a mess all the way back to the 405 interchange (and beyond, some mornings). After the much-vaunted light rail arrives, that station will serve fewer residences than the one in Angle Lake.

My point is that lots of people just throw out "well, live near where you work" as a panacea to life's commuting and office ills. Under our current idea of what counts as zoning and land use, it's not possible for any more than a small sliver of people to do that. So we have a choice: change how we do land use, change how we work with offices, or both.

I feel like it's much easier to not do anything when it looks like you're doing something at your desk all day. Mix in a few meetings and random chats, it's very easy to go incognito, productivity wise.

I think we've all had days where we've gotten to the office and had a problem we're working on that doesn't get solved that day. It is actually really taxing and feels really bad to not accomplish anything, as if you've wasted the day.

I've found that the ability to more strictly control distractions at home--not needing to deal with the pressure to chat with co-workers and eat lunch together, for example--has led to far, far fewer days of no-solution. At the same time, it becomes even hard to "give up" on that day's productivity and clock out, since there's no real leaving the office.
Yeah, you get hosed on insulation if you buy a spec build. Custom homes are often built better, but come at a premium.

Larger townhouses -- say, 2500sqft & up -- are often zones more reasonably, at least here, such that heating/cooling can be managed with more granularity. But doing it really requires multiple units, not a single big unit.
Ah, I remember being in middle school and buying a huge book seeming to be 6 inches thick with a copy of Delphi 1.0. This was what started it for me. The really cool thing was that in Delphi, you could often import Visual Basic components. Me and my friend would look for components that other VB programs would use and try to use them in our own projects. GUI creation is second to none with Delphi/Lazarus and I love the event based system, but nowadays I find writing in Pascal a little...not fun.
It's also a very strong lever that is not very well understood by the general public and can be used to stimulate growth in a particular area without sounding like the government is subsidizing the industry directly.

For example in Quebec the government waves a sizable chunk of taxes if the employee works on "research". With research being voluntarily defined very loosely so video game development falls into that category. The goal was to draw Ubisoft, EA, Unity, etc... in Montreal.
Thanks for the clarification, that's what I though but my comment was quite vague

I do not know the details, but I do have experience designing spatial game/simulation engines like this and a lot can be inferred from what they have shared. They talk about Scala.

Spatial simulations like this are pretty simple to implement on a custom basis, though I would do it differently than paralleluniverse.co. The dynamic resource scheduling on the servers is the hard part. When I designed simulation systems, the code for the spatial part was semi-custom every time because there was little overhead for that part. Simulations/games use cases allow you to take a lot shortcuts and liberties with the spatial processing and representation that do not work for, say, spatial analytics of the physical world using real-time sensor data.

Dynamically balancing real-time spatial skew under load and failure is tricky. This is a problem that has been solved by a few people before but it is not a trivial piece of engineering and is not really found in the gaming world. The seamless nature of the logical spatial world is a necessary side-effect of how you solve the dynamic rebalancing problem while the system is fully online. That said, it is much easier to implement for a game engine use case than the general use case because the load characteristics are more predictable.

It will be more interesting to see how they make money. I looked at starting a company doing exactly what they are doing a few years ago, we had all the tech for it, but no matter how we looked at it the scalability of the revenue model was pretty suspect. I do wonder how they plan to address that.

While they speculatively suggest using it for more traditional simulation use cases, this type of technology has relatively little value there for reasons somewhat orthogonal to the technology itself (something that is not obvious from the outside looking in).
We had Internet "everywhere" in 2000, all these new doors were being opened! And yet we crashed. The investment has to remain in step with the economic returns, or else eventually a crash happens. The possibilities are one thing, the returns are something else.

Of course there are a lot more viable online/mobile businesses now than there were in 2000, so a bubble has that much more space to grow before crashing.

If there's a bubble.
I purchased the licence years ago and used it almost exclusively until I got familiarized with vim. It's way more powerful and can do anything that sublime can. Plus more.

Talk to a lawyer on the contract. A decent one should cost 2-300 bucks. Inevitably, there are wrinkles where the lawyer will be helpful (when a client wants to control exactly how the IP is assigned, for example). Most of the time you can use your boiler plate, but it's good to start a relationship with an attorney anyhow, so get one. That, and a good lawyer can explain to you why everything is in there, what you can afford to give up, and what you can't. Don't cheap out here.

Another thing you might want to look into is creating an LLC or corporation. Again, the laywer has the right answer for you (Corp vs LLC vs nothing). I happen to use an single member LLC, which is set up as a disregarded entity for taxes. This shouldn't cost more than a few hundred dollars to set up either.

I bill every two weeks. But I'm flexible depending on the client. This is not a big deal. If you're worried about getting paid, you should think twice about taking the client in the first place.

Yes, write your billing and rates into the contract. Usually, there is an attached "Statement of Work", where you describe the scope of the project and billing arrangements in detail. Hourly vs. fixed price is a debate you can have over and over again. There are plusses and minuses for both you and the client to each billing scheme, so think it through. Often it depends on the scope of the project, the budget of the client, and (obviously) the trust between the two of you.

The client will give you a 1099. Or they won't (they may not know they need to, or they forget). In either case, you'responsible for reporting your income properly. Check with an accountant to get the taxes right.
