Yes, but their compiler doesn't have much market share, certainly not enough that it can drive the chip design. They do, of course, make a lot of popular chips, but even there they can't dictate the architecture single-handedly.

The vast majority of software seems to be built with something other than Intel compilers and compiled for generic 32-bit x86/i386/ia32 and/or x64/x86_64/amd64 platforms. (whatever you want to call 'em)

In general, answer the question directly and be honest. Trying to use bullshit marketing speak similar to what is taught during an MBA is a turn off and limits their ability to access whether or not you know what you are talking about.

At least, thats what I get from this article and every single essay I've read that was authored by PG.
Twitter goes down all the time, sure, facebook has dropped off, yeah...

But neither of these things have ever happened for a full day. If twitter goes out, refreshing a few times (this was true even a couple of years ago when the downtime was really bad) usually lets you get through. The worst I remember seeing was a few hours down.

Same goes for facebook. The worst I can recall right now is part of the oauth system bailing out for a few hours.

AWS going out like this is an entirely different disaster. Not only was it down for an entire day, but there were a ton of eggs in the basket.
Remove meaningless words such as "to be honest" or "in fact". Brevity!
This is nice. I was a little saddened that the replay and analyse option after games did not actually analyse games, but with the export I can download the games into my favourite chess engine and have it analyse the games for me.

[edit: noticed that there is a forum, don't go there. While someone occasionally posts an interesting game like http://lichess.org/analyse/0mbole the level of conversation is roughly what you'd expect from a 4chan /chess/ board.]
They didn't cover this one, which I think is pretty common as well:

"You're probably going to [exaggerate other person's negative reaction], but..."

This will usually dampen the other person's negative reaction. You've presumed the person will react unfavorably to whatever it is you're about to say. You, in a way, have suggested the person will have a bias to be negative, before you've even stated anything.

No one likes to hear that about themselves, so people will tend to overcompensate by being even more dispassionate than they normally are. Before anything is ever said.

"You're probably going to hate me for saying this, but..."

"You're going to think this is silly, but..."

"You're going to think I'm a jerk, but..."

I think in each case, you'll find the listener consciously or subconsciously suppress their reactions so as to not to come off as hating the other person, or thinking they are silly or a jerk.

Agreed, I think it's much more likely that the Palinites are simply maxing out the votes they're allowed to make IE 10 calls (per phone number - note that a psycho fan in your average household could easily pull off 50 votes by using their cell, their spouses their kids and their home phone), texts, emails, etc.

I remember back in the UK the reality shows used to limit it to 1 vote per type, but they still suffered huge problems like this. It sometimes seemed like the best person often failed on the Idol shows, but were picked up by a huge agent on a better contract than the actual winner (IE better sign on bonus, not forced into tours, etc.). IIRC Simon Cowell actually wanted a non-compete clause put into the contracts to prevent this, however I don't think anything came of it and he's now leaving American Idol - likely in part because of this.
Hey

Sorry but I don't understand this answer. I too like to hear reasons for decisions to stay away from non-relational databases.

Your first point, that you'll be using JSON, feels strange. When I build stuff, the data storage and the usage of the data are very separate areas. The web part using the JSON doesn't know or give a damn if the data is stored in MySQL or MongoDB or written in sand and translated to computer-speak by monkeys.

Second - Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but isn't this tree structure a number of entities that have relationships with other entities (as parent / child / sibling / whatever). How is that not applicable to a relational database?

Yeah, but the procedures are basically a whole bunch of subjective stuff added up. "Ok we're dividing this task into these subtasks, we're gonna put a deadline on each one and if you miss too many deadlines then we need to talk". That's way more fuzzy and subjective than a standardized test. You might sum up the subjective judgments in a quantitative way, but ultimately it's built on subjective assessments. Unless they're actually doing kloc or something.

The contrast problem is indeed true in some screens. I don't know how much of it is due to the .0 version rush.. Many things are still rough around the edges in material and I expect the platform to really start to shine with the .1 version.

The text wrap problem is pretty weak though. As far as I can see, this 'bug' report was well managed. It is not a bug, just somebody disagreeing with a change in the platform.
It is well explained in the 4.4 release documentation, along with the reasons behind it. Unless the author explains why the Chrome team is mistaken, this is entirely pointless.
At least the Chrome implementation has a little X in the upper right corner which you can use to delete the Flash object without ever activating the plugin.

Personally, I just don't have Flash enabled at all – it's a security win and I haven't heard my laptop's fans while browsing in ages.
I read three books in 2014 that I've been recommending to everyone I know:

1. The Denial of Death by Ernest Becker

A treatise on how humans' awareness of their own mortality is the driving force behind their behavior. Artfully written and incredibly thought-provoking. Completely altered my conception of what it is I "want" out of life and why.

2. Escape from Evil by Ernest Becker

The sequel to The Denial of Death that expands Becker's thoughts on how awareness of mortality influences individual psychology to society in general, ultimately getting at the question of why individuals and societies are violent and oppressive.

3. Moral Mazes by Robert Jackall

A sociological and anthropological account of the worldview and moral systems of middle managers in large American corporations. Moral Mazes paints a clear portrait of how bureaucracy and the hierarchical structure of a corporation create a deeply toxic environment for both employees and consumers.

This is similar to me saying that it is unfair for a 6 foot 7 inch person to play offensive tackle in the NFL when I am only 6 ft 1 inch and would like to play the NFL as well. The world is not fair. Some people will have the resources to do certain things while other people will not.

EDIT: Before you go on to say that football and investing are two very different things, let me state that I am fully aware of that. I've had that conversation before when this topic comes up. Common people are able to participate in the investment process while only a very few get to play in the NFL. The people that are upset are the ones that try to game the market themselves but are under-capitalized. From prior conversations, long-term investors simply don't care about these things. The people all up in arms are the one's that have lost money because they are trying to do something they are not in a position to do. I'm only talking about trading stocks and futures here; the more advanced investment products, like CDOs and CDSs, and the issues in the news regarding them, are a totally different conversation.
Good question. I think the prices are all return.
More importantly, it doesn't change the fact that the correct reaction to the incident is clearly to don a mysterious mask and become a costumed, crime-fighting vigilante.

Which will inevitably result in your winding up in the hospital, with a bunch of metal in you, and a complete inability to feel pain. Which no doubt will help you the next time you feel inclined to be so stupid. Which will get you into trouble that you need real superheros to get you out of.

As discussed in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitty_Genovese#Psychological_re... the standard narrative is that the 38 neighbors were aware, and didn't do anything because everyone expected someone else to. This narrative is standard in introductory psychology books, and I've encountered it in multiple places. As soon as I began the article I knew that that was what was being referred to, and I only read on because I was curious to know more about the story.

In fact none of the neighbors were aware of the full sequence, only two were aware that stabbings happened, multiple neighbors reacted (calling police, driving the attacker away), and none were witness to the final rape and murder. This is a very different story, and completely undermines the intended point that people become less likely to act when they see others not acting.
hmm, I see that they have suspended their death benefit to discourage suicide. maybe death benefits shouldn't cover suicide at all
I rejoined LinkedIn a while back after quitting years ago. I've since had numerous connection requests from people I didn't know who didn't even reply to a short, friendly message back. I joined some popular groups related to my professional interests, and their content turned out to be close to 100% bad-subreddit-quality self-promotion. The valuable connections I do have on LinkedIn invariably originated with some encounter elsewhere and then one of us looking the other up, not through LinkedIn itself. LinkedIn has produced, to my knowledge, 0 useful opportunities either for me or for someone in my network through me. Not a single one, ever.

Meanwhile, I've been an active participant in many other online forums for decades, from old-school Usenet to HN. The opposite of everything I wrote above about LinkedIn applies with many of these other forums: I have enjoyed countless worthwhile discussions with interesting and/or professionally relevant people, replies or private messages I've received have been genuine and relevant, from time to time useful opportunities have been found for me or someone I was talking to, I've often found external material via those forums that was interesting or informative, etc.

So am I bad at online networking, or is LinkedIn just a bad forum for useful online networking? IME, it's very obviously the latter, and that doesn't appear to have changed much during the extended period when I wasn't using it. The more I write here, the more I think it's time I got around to deleting that account (again).
same here, ehm I don't whether to feel ashamed or happy to see somebody else in the same situation
Sure, it sucks that twitch is the only game in town for professional gamers. For some reason other attempts never worked long term. But what options are there? Either it needs to be worth for someone to compete with the service, or streamers would have to gain some kind of law protection status which would be worse than now. Or even worse, twitch could go the way of pro physical sports where as long as you don't kill someone, nobody cares. (and you may even get positive pr to keep covered up)

I’d argue the other three at least have highly functional qualities and are likely the best functioning alternatives (on at least some dimensions) at the time of introduction in a way/to a degree that air fresheners are not.

A pot on the stove with lemon, vanilla, or cinnamon or some actual flowers/pine seem to be perfectly reasonable substitutes for the air fresheners.

That in itself is a perfectly valid culture - e.g. happy and relaxed employees who actually want to come into work in the morning are probably more useful than even extremely clever people bored out of their minds being berated by egotistical managers.
The problem is that when lifetimes cause you problems, it can force the entire feature development to stop until the problem is fixed. There is no reasonable escape hatch or alternative (clone doesn't always work).
Israel’s iron dome can reasonably protect a decent portion of Israel. Destitute Gazans can still overwhelm it. If you don’t really care what you hit, missiles are very inexpensive.
I believe this dynamic is exactly what MRVs were designed for. One missile with numerous war heads, arriving on target one after another in rapid succession (independent targeting came later.)

There are some videos of MIRV reentries on youtube that really something to see. Seeing those bright lights come down from the sky in a line, one after another, is simultaneously chilling and awe inspiring: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7X89a531CY

I'm no expert, but it seems unlikely to me that "The TCP/IP header argument...shows how internet is full of people who will keep arguing for the sake of argument instead of trying to have a reasonable, pragmatic and honest discussion." That just seems like an off-topic rant added on there, bad-mouthing others while positioning yourself as one of the noble internet good guys. "Assume good faith".

Hey, my post clearly says to either sign up or use a throwaway Matrix account, and even asks to avoid using your main Matrix account.

Nothing is a universal truth with human beings.

I made those statements from experience, from both sides of the table, and the experiences of colleagues. People don't like ultimatums. Even if they accede to them, their trust in the person will decline, and they'll be thinking twice about putting that person in a critical role.
We had the same problem with one of our logos and BCBS. We had a green '+' symbol as one of our letter 'T'. We're in the wellness industry. That was enough to get them to send a letter and it was cheaper to have a designer and developer go through and change everything (3-4 days of designer time and 1 day of developer time) than it was to have a lawyer draft up a response.

Ah, sorry. My bad.
The bad ones will never tell you outright, too worried you'll cut them out or tell your other recruiters. I have a couple of good ones I pretty much deal with exclusively. If I get a spam op from another recruiter I'll tell my real recruiter to go pitch me to company x (if I'm actually interested).

Sure its pretty ruthless but its not really my problem these guys look out for me and only bother me with calls about companies they know I'd fit with. They also leave me alone for years on end until I initiate the "I'm looking again" "protocol"
> how do you deploy your static binary to the server? (without much downtime ?)

Ask yourself how would you solve this problem if you deployed by hand and automate that.

1. Create a brain-dead registry that gets information about what runs where (service name, ip address:port number, id, git commit, service state, last healthy_at). If you want to go crazy, do it 3x.

2. Have haproxy or nginx use the registry to build a communication map between services.

You are done.

For extra credit ( which is nearly cost free ) with 1. you now can build a brain-dead simple control plane by sticking an interface to 1 that lets someone/something toggle services automatically. For example, if you add percentage gauge to services, you can do hitless rolling deploys or cannery deploys.

Could you export the tool in a way that we don't have to zip new files into it? Instead we would have to gcc the whole thing once and be done with it.
What do you mean by "respects the equivalence relation"?

Do you demand that f(x) ~ x implies that f(x) = x ? (~ being the equivalence and = being identity).
How do you define poor? Spending power is more important.

The UK is a very cheap place to live. Yes there is a housing crisis, and fixing it will absolutely make citizens of London and the south east richer, but in terms of the rest of the country, it's not as crazy.

Ultimately I don't think you can compare how poor citizens of one country are to another unless you factor in disposable income, and spending power.
It was an unfortunate choice because \ is one of the 12 characters that vary between country versions of ISO 646 (of which ASCII was the US profile). This was why Japanese MS-DOS used ¥ instead of \ for the directory separator: it occupied the same code point in the Japanese profile of ISO 646 that \ did in ASCII, and Shift-JIS encoded that as a single byte with the high bit clear.

The complete list of the 12 was: # $ @ [ ] \ ^ ` { } | ~. Notice that / is safe.

They avoided the problem for all the Western languages by inventing their own 8-bit code (this was before the ISO 8859 standards) and always using ASCII in the lower half.
Circumstances and dumb luck are almost as important as bad decisions, or much more depending on the situation.

That said, I agree that the situation is much better for poor people in the UK than say in the US.
Matrix is eating the world of messengers. I'm very bullish on the protocol.

Iirc, unions typically insist on a strict payscale/structure combining legible factors like seniority, position, etc. Would they want this.

Folks like myself support him even though we're some sort of "upper middle class" or some form of middle-merchant class.

Why do you say "even though"? Sanders and Warren target upper middle class and people aspiring to it.
Agreed. The author is looking through slightly blue tinted glasses.

The "working class" put "their guy" in a certain colored house in the US and got together to tell the EU to screw off in the UK. They might not be using their political power for things we all agree with or you could argue they're all being duped but they certainly aren't powerless.

Furthermore, I think the author is over stating the homogeneity of white collar political professionals. Tech and academia are very homogeneously blue/left leaning (relatively speaking) but other industries less so.

The author seems to be very confident in his predictions of where politics will move over the next decade or two but I see some massive variables that are not controlled for. Things could go any which way.
I personally don't like to name a project like this and to use Gopher logo unless it's a development tools it shouldn't be named after the tech behind it.

I don’t think that providing these things is problematic in itself (though the crony capitalism is worrying). The problem is that many prisons no longer allow book donations or free access to book. In my opinion, categorically, providing more chance cannot be wrong. The problem is when choice is removed (in this case, reading paper books).

The problem is that the state isn’t willing to invest money in making prisons better. This stems from the unclear nature of what prisons are for: a debt paid to society, justice, rehabilitation, or maybe to prevent further crimes? If your answer is justice or debt, then you can make good arguments why prisons shouldn’t be nice. If you think they’re for rehabilitation or prevention of crime, then tablets, TVs, etc are probably a good idea.

Since we don’t all agree on the moral justification for inprisonment, the state just provides the most basic services. This means that only companies are going to provide these services, which are arguably predatory.

Prison is a hard thing to get right, no matter what you do some people are going to get upset. Regardless, I think most of us can agree that these contracts handed out by states to these companies are problematic and stink of cronyism. Probably the only reason these contracts got signed was that the prisons were netting a percentage of the sales, allowing them to increase salaries and stuff: in essence, an indirect bribe for state employees. In return, the state probably agreed to ban books.
