Thanks, I really thought so. I found his statements about the personal echochamber effect to be particularly insightful.

Although police giving coffee and hot chocolate to protestors reads like a light-hearted PR move, it raises interesting questions about why police and protestors are by default at odds, when they often have overlapping concerns and agendas.
There's a fairly easy regulatory solution to that - don't allow irradiated-only production lines.
> It requires passengers to run a nonfree program (an app).

I'm not sure if I agree with this, unless you consider the web to be non-free. Uber also runs a really great mobile website[1], which is one of the few reasons I use Uber not owning an iPhone or Android device.

Renderers are one place where I wouldn't mind a monoculture. I'm guessing billions?! of dollars of wasted man hours have been spent on making websites look the same across browsers.

Arguably, the solar city merger was about bailing out Musk's personal holdings in a failing business.
Sigh,the bullshit asymmetry principle at work.

Can you please read the original comment and understand that Monero is claiming to be not traceable. Make no claims for them but some well regarded mathematicians do.

Can you read about xmr.to the site that uses a very large prominent Bitcoin exchange as a backend yet still has an onion frontend to exchange XMR to BTC.

Can you also read my comment about buying Bitcoin from Bisq without providing any centralized source with passports/licenses/dna.

What exactly is your point here, incredibly interested in some elucidation?

I'll pay you $10,000 (held in escrow) if you can show me how to prove ownership of coins going from Bitcoin to Monero to Bitcoin via xmr.to

Any day, any time. Offer is open to anyone in Earth.

Perhaps if the channel got popular enough then that might make sense, but at this stage I think that would be a terrible move. Charging extra to be livestreamed changes the whole dynamic from "cheapest hotel ever, with one odd condition" to "what kind of idiot pays extra money for a hotel room to be livestreamed?"

$1 hotel is cool and something you want to share with your friends and stay in for the experience. Having to pay extra money on top of the room fare for the "privilege" of being livestreamed does not sound attractive and would probably generate outrage (though to be fair, outrage is still attention). Also as a viewer, I'd be less interested in watching people so desperate for attention that they're willing to pay extra money to be livestreamed - I'd assume they're one of those "wannabe influencers".
Submitted title was "Nvidia drops support for CUDA on macOS". We changed that for a while to "CUDA 10.2 is the last release to support macOS", which is language from the article itself. Since then someone emailed and asked why the title was like that in light of the discussion at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21617016, so I've reverted to the article's title.

Edit: If the article were more a burying the lede kind of thing, as sometimes happens with corporate press releases, then the original title would be misleading and it would arguably be right to change it. But that seems unlikely here?

Edit: I suppose we could switch the URL to an article like https://gizmodo.com/apple-and-nvidia-are-over-1840015246 if this really is the only story here.
Rice cookers don't include PID controls. They have "hot" and "warm". You can cook with them (Roger Ebert had a great blog post about his one-pot wonder dishes), but that's essentially a gentle form of crock pot cooking.

Super precise temperature control is one of the most important developments in all of cooking. If you have it, you can take almost any protein or almost any vegetable, select a final cooked state out of a (tiny) book, punch it into the control, and walk away for an hour, an afternoon, or a fortnight and come back to a 100% guaranteed perfect product.

Three example implications:

* You can buy $30 steaks, bag them, throw them in a rice cooker in the morning, go to work, come home, and have them perfectly rare-medium-rare all the way through. I'd say "better than at a steakhouse" if so many steakhouses weren't apparently switching up to cook steaks this way.

* You can take a tough braise cut (short ribs, octopus), bag it, stick it in the rice cooker for a couple days, and pull it out medium rare and tender. Tender medium rare short ribs are a novel product of precise temperature control; you can't do them on a grill.

* You can take a vegetable and cook it at a target temperature that breaks down starches but not pectin and get unique textures out of them. Keller, who has obviously better equipment than we do, combines this with compression to get steak-like textures out of things like melons.
Right. The point is that he could be considered unemployed despite making money.

I'm still in chapter 1.

Thanks for the explanation of the single quote. Can I convince you to add something about what a "symbol" is (and if it's connected in some way to the single-quote mechanism)?
I am curious to know - do they use preservatives or unnatural additives?
Hardly a proper comparison.
Is there anything that isn't? Sure poker has more luck than other things, but to just boil it down to simply saying 'luck and skill' seems wrong.
This should be required reading for all who buy Zero To One.
Is it? I graduated two years ago, and this is of course anecdotal, but the only kids I knew that actually got their tuition paid for had trust funds, didn't pay for anything themselves, and had never held any kind of job.

How do you imagine you're going to be able to even as a likely relatively well-paid individual, if tuition rates keep climbing?
Can you please put the download link in some other services that supports download resumes (or, possibly torrent)? Google Drive does not seem to support resume, and, restarting leads to start from byte 1. And, this is because from where I am based at, 451MB in straight download is not a sane propostion without resume support.
I don't get it, either. My siblings and I were legally adults, so why were our parents responsible for anything? We got loans, worked jobs, and were responsible to no one else for bad grades or extra semesters.

The other responses say, "Because it's expected." That doesn't answer the question. Have attitudes shifted? As education's become more expensive, I wouldn't be surprised if colleges have marketed the idea that good parents pay for their adult child's education, in order to make sure that they have business as they jack up prices.
No comments on this? It was the best thing I've read all day
Oracle owns the trademark to JavaScript now too. We are going to have to call it ECMAScript to be safe.
Yeah but do they have enough power to keep the phone connectivity alive and transmit things ?
Until very recently, in human terms, the view of the "any employer can hire any employee in the world" was the default and only view.
There seems to be a poll floating around that 45% of republicans supported the storming of capitol hill. Of course polls can be twisted to deceive, but if we take that at face value, that is not a small "fringe"?

Look at history, it’s just one damn tragedy after another and all without the supposedly super powerful influence of internet filter bubbles and radicalization. The internet isn’t the problem, this is just what humans do. Every age has blamed their problems on the latest technology while being willfully blind to the problems within their own minds. You can’t fight this with censorship or gatekeeping or trusted news sources, trying to force your beliefs on other people just adds to the misery because you’re flawed and ignorant too, everyone is.
Yes, but that’s a big if. It’s also simply possible that Solarwinds has their TeamCity admin account password set to ‘password’ and accessible on a public network.
Maybe if they'd do their meetings at Pizza Hut, at least they would start coming closer to common folk.
Not wanting to downplay "how strong dancers are", because they obviously are, especially in their core, but I would imagine that most of the problems with these robots, and Atlas in particular, come from an entirely different weight distribution, rather than strength.

IOW, to achieve the similarly appearing moves, these robots have got to have a lot more strength to achieve the balance that comes naturally to most dancers: also why you rarely get 7ft/2.1m tall dancers doing the ballet/gymnastics style stuff — their weight distribution and "levers" (limb length) are so much different, making many of those moves doubly or three times as hard.

And focusing on their strength in the quotes in the article also downplays dancers' exquisite motor reaction time to reestablish balance (kudo to our brains is what I am saying).
> For example, in the classic case when a user adds a new device and wants history to be available on both you can't let the devices controlled by one person simply sync with one another.

> To do so would be making a security concession to the other members of the chat in that they no longer verify every destination of their message.

You can't "verify every destination" with Signal anyway. Maybe the message is going to my phone, maybe it's going to my phone and my desktop - the sender can't tell.

Sure, if you are trying to add an entirely new recipient to a conversation, then of course you can't send them the entire conversation history - but nobody is asking for that.

What people want is the ability to add a new device for an existing recipient, and have the history sync across.

With Signal I can already add a new device and continue existing conversations without the other participants being notified that I've added a new device. Adding conversation history doesn't diminish anything from a security perspective.
A witty saying proves nothing, and in this case it particularly doesn't since you seem you do not know what else was being said when it was written by its author.

I wonder about the purpose and intended audience for a writeup like this. It is probably not intended for OO-practicers, since it starts out by calling them idiots and fanatics before even touching any technical arguments. Oh and calling them corrupt charlatans and religious communists.
How long is the program? Hardware Startups typically need a much longer launch path than the typical web/mobile app product
The Atlantic would not publish such a thing in 2010 because there has been no obvious inflection point in racial trends.

Perhaps I miss your point. Do you mind making it explicitly?
That's userland code. In the kernel, write(2) very quickly finds the open file based on the fd and passes the call off to extremely explicit code that handles the write().

Stripping off ambiguity is almost the write syscall handler's only job.

It's worth mentioning here that not only is the convenience vs. explicitness tradeoff different in application code than in bare-metal systems programming code, but that that specific example of convenient app-level API is also an infamous Unix failure. In reality, app code cannot safely assume that an fd is just an abstract bucket you can read, write, close, and seek in.
Apple's browser is probably lacking necessary features. They have been much slower adopting features than the competition.
The Hard Problem of Consciousness(tm) can't be answered because it isn't a question at all; it's just a confusion. People who like to worship mystery are attracted to it, because it sucks to have your sacred mystery pulled out from under you by an explanation.
> But those F-35s. And nukes! Enough to wipe out most of humanity.

Doesn't these F-35 and nukes give the US trade advantage and wealth transfers (aka free money from unstable countries) and thus make it possible for Americans to be that rich?
WWII was absolutely about resources.

The Nazis wanted the fertile lands in Eastern Europe and Russia for their own supposedly superior people. In fact, one of their most popular slogans was about "Lebensraum im Osten"("space to live in the East"), which, now that I think about it, has a similarity in sound to the slogan of "Manifest Destiny" in the US.

The first step of the "Lebensraum im Osten" plan was to invade Poland. Hitler split it with the Soviets in order to keep the Eastern border calm, since he needed all his forces on the Western front, to handle the backlash by the UK and France over the invasion of Poland. His original plan was to take on the Soviet Union only after having won the war on the Western front.

However, he backtracked on that strategy and invaded the Soviets in 1942 because the war in the West took longer than expected. Several key campaigns on the Eastern front, including the infamous Battle for Stalingrad, were specifically about securing resources like steel and oil (and, conversely, cutting off the Soviets from those supplies).

Disclaimer: I'm not a historian. All this is going off of what I would consider common knowledge as a German.
The reverse is true. The cooler a place is perceived to be, the less they can afford to pay developers, up to some threshold where they can't hire any good ones.

There's a huge variance to what salary good developers are happy with. For every one who says "I wouldn't work for less than X", there are some who would, and moreover would not be unhappy at that salary level.
Not technically a programming gig, but I accidentally wrote the Enterprise knowledge base for a Fortune 50 company while I as working overnight as a help desk technician.

It was a good system, that later fared very well against other COTS packages from vendors like Microsoft, CA, Oracle, etc.

As for how much I knew, the answer is VERY little. I wrote the app to teach myself programming, and the majority of it was in PHP & Perl (because those were the best documented languages at the time) -- and the system ran on RedHat with MySQL, on a spare desktop computer that previously belonged to the other night shift guy that had been fired.

Eventually, all of IT adopted using the program, and I ended up on the team developing new features and performing maintenance of it, while integrating it with other core products within the company, like the incident tracking system.
Then they fixed it since last month.
I'm not sure some simple arrows can be achieved with unicode characters...nor would you want a screenreader to pay attention to what is purely presentational.
In the past, S3 was required for SSL, but I hear they've fixed that now. CloudFront is pretty sweet...
How is that reassuring? If I'm learning something I don't want to just "get used" to it. I want a fundamental understanding.
This is exactly what I love about the internet; a fictional question that is being debated seriously and intelligently.
Look, if he's such a disruptive guy that you want to pin the country's faults on him, wouldn't it just be easier to catch him having sex with another woman, grilling him to get him to lie, and then impeaching him about the lie about having extramarital sex? I do recall that almost working once before.
Let see, for the same reason why Apple has no real competition in the high end computer market for professional and artist. The really do love making great computers, it just turns out they where able to make a relative affordable tablet. Relative because a lot of people think an ipad is expensive, and lot of people who want one can't afford one at this time. Although I will like to see someone compete with Apple, because I think competition is good, it can keep you sharp. For example if it wasn't for the flip, Apple could have perhaps waited longer before they put a camera in the ipod touch. An no I don't think it's a fad, my ipad replace the need for physical portfolios, books, magazines and comics.
I am not only considering it just for restaurants, as explained on my reply below.
You're missing that even if both popular + insightful get upvoted, you can still use this as a prefilter, look at the high upvote counts, and dismiss that which is mean. It's how I used the system. Right now we just get pages an pages of text with little in the way of friendly direction if you don't have time to examine all the commentry.
Thanks for the honest feedback. I agree with that, you even don't know what they put in your food when you order food at a restaurant right? Not until someone told you what's going on back at the kitchen. But again, the incentive is there. Might still need to think about it more throughly for any loopholes.
Well if the light cones never meet, then they're not that close
I'm a technical person. I also hate time zones, month names and weekdays. Those are utterly meaningless.
YYYYMMDDHHMMSS (UTC only) is the format I'm using with all projects. It's just compacted form of 2015-01-17T07:18:16Z aka ISO_8601. When working with globally distributed teams and comparing event logs etc. One single time indicator is the way to go. Alternate format is classical UNIX time which is nice and can be stored as INT if second resolution is enough. 1421479099 but isn't so well human readable. Yet it's trivial to convert of course.
Great work. I am a big fan of Raspberry pi. For hospital environment does raspberry pi have the reliability, stability and durability for health use case for real life environments?

it will be so budget friendly, i am sure many hospitals in the world can use it...
Making goods and services cheaper is 'negative economic impact'? I'd argue the opposite. Greater productivity has been humanities goal ever since they first started sharpening rocks and sticks. I'd argue that it is desirable. Yes, as you point out, greater productivity has disadvantages at first also. See for example the mechanisation of agriculture, people lose their jobs. But as you point out yourself, the blow can easily be softened with better social safety nets.
Why hasn't anyone mentioned Jami - https://jami.net/ ?
What amazes me is how brazen Facebook has gotten with forced data sharing.
The GP starting off by painting himself as the underdog about to speak out against all us hiveminded folks is a more severe violation of the rules than the parent pointing it out.
What is the source of the logic for these mechanics? Meaning, how did you model the results of these inputs? Traffic phenomena is really interesting to me. This is a great way to present these inputs and visually present the outcomes.
With text messages (even though insecure) they cross provider, cross platform, distributed, and interface based so clients and servers could be written.

With the new options they are single provider, centralized, and locked in. Matrix is an exception in some categories.

It's kinda sad how the technology landscape shifted.
I think that's an artificial split. Management is not only about HR busywork, it should also include all the things you've mentioned in the leader category.

Is it an official title? I keep seeing it everywhere now, everyone is a "leader." What exactly does it mean? Do you proclaim yourself a leader, is there some vote on it?

From my perspective it's completely meaningless and usually ego stroking.
The big problem is that OSS market rewards bloated frameworks/high commit rate/hype over careful, minimal design. Devs are unable to separate hype from technical excellence. I'm not sure many developers even skim the code of their favorite frameworks. Essentially, they're selecting OSS based on the exact same criteria used by the enterprise companies:

* "I'll go with Angular since it's supported by Google"

* "When I'm not sure which library to use, I just choose the one with the most commits"

* "I'll just choose something with the most features in case I need them"

The upshot is that incremental, monolithic solutions get selected over and over because they're easiest to digest and usually supported by a well-known entity with lots of capital (lol meritocracy).

Ultimately, OSS is a poor vehicle for R&D because the market is every bit as dysfunctional and short-term-gain-seeking as the real market. Very strange.

Thanks for that link. Very neat how towards the end of the video a Russian rocket booster travels across the frame from right to left. An unintended sighting of some well know space-junk!
Strange. The operating systems class when I attended (late 2000s) required C. I wonder what they replaced it with?
Are you in a highly competitive field? If so, any code you can avoid writing is a competitive advantage, and means you can push out a product faster than everyone else. In those cases, use, buy, and ask for any code which will benefit the production and only avoid licenses which directly prevents your business model from earning revenue.
I guess it should work on all linux systems that use dpkg package management system.
If the goal is pursuing knowledge for its own sake, then yes:

I think the depth and breadth of human knowledge would now be greater if the moon missions were unmanned and the money was instead spent on other areas of scientific research which were judged to be cost-effective.

Perhaps the following experiment would be a way to resolve our differences: Let's survey a random sample of 100 scientists asking whether they agree with the above statement. But not just scientists involved in space exploration - all types of geologists, climatologists, astrophysicists, neuroscientists, anthropologists, palaeontologists, etc. If less than say 25 scientists agree then I would accept that I was wrong about the wastefulness of manned moon missions. If more than 75 scientists agree would you accept that I was right?

Congratulations. I am really happy to see Zig project reaching this stage.
The limit to the logic is that it only applies where you are forced to choose between zero sum options.
Seconded!

I agree that this is smart editing that preserves the original meaning well. The one decision I question is simplifying your nicely-phrased “Most programmers spend most of their time attaching these disparate blocks together” to just “most programmers spend their time [...]”
Tax revenue has outpaced median wages by a long shot. I'm not sure I can relate to the argument that increased taxes is what is needed to close the wage gap as the tax collector's have done nothing to prove they will do any better than the rich at distributing wealth.
Yes, that's why I optimistically chose a generic name for the project. Django is a solid start and I sure have tons more work to do.

Then there's an opportunity to expand to adjacent projects it could make sense to cover.

There's lots of thinking to do, approaches to try around funding the original projects and authors, and happily aligning incentives.
NY should rescind the Stock Transfer tax rebates. They are losing out on ~$16 billion in tax revenue annually.
