> but I don't know anyone who works with CAD who would likely switch their work flow from GUI to text-based, other than people in this thread, I suppose.

Programming doesn't have to be writing text. :P

Everyone seems to be thinking about APIs to the CAD program, which solidworks, autodesk, and presumably others provide.

I had in mind a pretty deep way to embed a lambda calculus into the visual interface. The hope was to make it intuitive to create powerful parametric models, where every sketch is a function of different parameters. We never implemented that part, though. :/
Is this the tool that Google uses to build its Golang source? Or is that something else which is not available?
One quick note: Nginx does not serve any of its caches out of memory, it's served from disk. This is a difference without distinction when you have lots of memory, since Nginx will end up sendfile-ing the file from the disk cache, but it's worth noting.
Its not a browser, its just a http server that runs on your computer, so the speed is not an issue here.
It's pretty clear that J. Edgar Hoover wasn't anyone's FBI director other than himself.
By the same logic, memory safety issues only happen rarely, right? Most programs/scripts are going to be tested if part of a distribution and such errors removed. But without polling people it'd be hard to know of the many times this kinda thing messed things up. I personally wiped out a production DB due to expanding an unset variable (fortunately immediately after taking a backup.
We are not simulating scarcity, we are integrated with the shop's backend and show real stock. If a shop owner wants to lie about his stock that's his responsibility, but hey, he also can do that without our tool.

The tool only enforces certain usps or charateristics of the shop at the right time.

A better "tool" is to establish a rigid honor code and actually enforce it. My college had one and cheating on take home tests seemed to be rare.

I'd be worried that prosecutors would go after cases that serve their own purpose and that those wouldn't be the cases most deserving of prosecution. For example, I would want every violent and sexual offense to be prosecuted before even a single drug case is considered. But would a prosecutor give up a a mid-level drug dealer to go after a sexual assault case or a mugging?
And commiting prosecutorial misconduct with no consequences.

Why is this downvoted? I've witnessed it. How else would you describe a trooper and ADA knew that a charge was incorrect and still let it stand, including pretrial restrictions only under the incorrect charge.
If it were me I'd just let same sex couples impregnate each other, regardless of sex. Sounds like a hoot.
> I think that it's easy to build interfaces that are friendly to both power users and non-power-users

All of the software I have ever used fits into one of three categories:

* Tipped in favor of power users and frustrating to laymen

* Tipped in favor of laymen and frustrating to power users

* Frustrating to both laymen and power users

If it's so easy, what's a good example of software that rides the line well?

EDIT: And even within this dichotomy both groups are pretty fuzzy. Is a layman someone who doesn't know how something works, or someone who just wants to do the basics? Is a power-user someone who wants to customize, or someone who wants to optimize?
Why doesn’t one do this?

Because it exposes their individual clients to greater risk?
That must be one helluva slide deck to convince VCs that user supported/subscription based income will work.
Its funny because 1000 hours isn't even that much in the video game world. I have over 10,000 hours in team fortress 2 from back when I was in high school.
Obviously, I am disappointed by that outcome: I've used several G-line phones and currently using V30 (I was slightly disappointed by it compared to G6, but it's still much better than anything else I could find). And, honestly, didn't consider switching, because despite how much I dislike LG phones, I hate all other phones I know much more.

But what's more important, I very strongly suspect it's a wrong decision. Yes, they don't care about making me happy, they care about making money, and it's a fact, that their mobile division only loses money. And I do understand, that my phone preferences might be somewhat different from average, so I accept the hypothesis that these aren't "best for everyone". But either way, these are not bad phones. Especially if you skip the weirdest models like G5 (which I also skipped). In fact, their weirdest decisions always seemed like am attempt to answer the question "what are we doing wrong?". And it still seems obvious, that the only possible answer is marketing. Uber-popular samsung flagships never were really better than LG flagships (and for me they are actually worse), but the real and obvious difference were huge samsung billboards all across my city. And I honestly don't remember a single one by LG. Not to mention (obviously) sponsored reviews and posts on all meme-websites like 9gag every time Samsung made a new phone. No surprise they were selling better even at higher prices. And even today I saw a lot of "TIL: LG had a mobile division" posts.

So if I am right, and the problem is their marketing, getting out of mobile business must mean that they didn't learn the lesson. And if so, what good should we expect from whatever new divisions they'll make?
And, from what I'm seeing on the Answers home page, a lot of the popular content is rather time-sensitive (like questions about ongoing political controversies). A lot of traffic would drop off very quickly if the site went static.

NV and nvALT were such a gereat push in note taking. My first note is now five years old. Before that, I have used a plain text file for everything.

I really like the hyperlinks and full text search in nvALT.
I'm not sure Unity is at fault here. Most people in the game dev business knew about what ECS is (Entities + Components + Systems) long before Unite Austin 2017 (when Unity first announced their upcoming entities package).
What you want and what you need are two different things ;-)
Tom Brady has broken many records because he's had a longer career than most other players. To call him a 10xer, you'd have to somehow show that he's 10x more productive per game. I don't know enough about football to know what that would look like, but maybe 10x as many completions per game as the average quarterback. I doubt you can show that.

Besides, competing against other people in a zero game is not the same as producing something in the marketplace. If we're playing sports, I only need to be slightly better than you to win most of the time.
I agree that expected value (EV) is not necessarily a good metric for personal financial decisions. In fact, this applies both to EVs greater than and less than 1.

As you point out, insurance is a good example of a <1 EV; its purpose is to reduce volatility.

Another example: lottery tickets in the occasional case where the EV>1. This is supposed to, for instance, lead a rational economist to buy a lottery ticket (or many lottery tickets!) when the Powerball jackpot hits some particular threshold, say 500 million. However, money isn't linear in terms of value to individuals, and for most people the difference in life impact between winning a billion dollars vs 500 million is not anywhere close to 2x - indeed the two outcomes are more or less effectively identical.

tl;dr: because money is not linear in the value it adds, EV is not a good optimization metric for highly skewed outcomes.
Would you say it's worth waiting for the M1X if one hasn't already picked up an M1?
Right. There are some intense security environments where they also deal in airgaps and the like, but this is insane behavior at a regular job.
This is completely missing the point of why one should be anonymous and use I2P etc. Surveillance harms journalism and activism, making the government too powerful and not accountable. If only activists and journalists will try to have the privacy, it will be much easier to target them. Everyone should have privacy to protect them. It’s sort of like freedom of speech is necessary not just for journalists, but for everyone, even if you have nothing to say.

I guess this mentality is common to startup scenes, but not really outside of that world.
Did you write that clause in? Because AFAIK that waiver has to be agreed by you first before they slam it in the contract as terms and conditions of employment.
Probably true, a huge amount of game theory there that no doubt contributed to the scenario. But just because she wasn't worth $6m when she joined, it doesn't mean that she's not worth $6m now. Almost nobody (maybe 1 in a billion, and that's if you include professional athletes) is worth $6 million if they're only just starting out. But after establishing an amazing track record, that's when a lot of people are able to cash in. I think it may be naive if we attribute the dollar amount to only what knowledge she can bring to Facebook, and disregard whatever merit she can bring herself to the table. When was the last time you heard of someone being paid millions to just shut up and do paperwork in the basement mail room? I think that stuff is just for spy novels, no?
I don't see how this could possibly benefit the employee, I mean if the job is going to require an average of 60 hours a week fair enough but the whole signing away your rights in this regard feels like a bait and switch on the employers part. It depends I guess if they were upfront in the workload expected and set the salary to reflect that.

Certainly I understand that there are times when someone would choose to waiver the rights, a startup with interesting tech and probably equity would be a good example.
You do not, and you ABSOLUTELY DO NOT question tradition. Today it's 'lol', tomorrow you'll want to end christmas.
It's odd that LACK table costs $8 but to decorate it you have to spend at least €12.
It's articles like this that perpetuate the acceptance of unpaid overtime. Bosses lap in the luxury of getting their peons to work over their contracted hours for free because it's considered to be normal in the culture of the company, any employee who leaves at 5:30 is seen to be not pulling their weight in what's essentially a very masculine trait (people comparing their hours of work to others as a gauge of how hard they work.)

Unpaid overtime is nothing to show off about, I find it quite frankly abhorrent that he's actively showing off about it

- going to http://twitya.com

- enter competitor's twitter account, hit return

- see which users are replying or mentioning the competitor

- enter into a conversation with each one

- if they won't use or try your product, they might at least follow you if you give good reason, and are courteous.

- also see the friends of the competitor that you can follow too

- read the competitor's tweets
Improvements in Cocoa Touch make parts of Mac Cocoa look old and needlessly complicated. That's definitely a problem that needs addressing.

If this is a major general point, it should probably be explained as such; picking 4 specific examples and discussing them as free-standing, independent issues didn't convey a greater issue of "the Cocoa interfaces are too verbose for 95% of use cases" to me. If it's literally 4 methods, even namespace-prefixed category extensions seem a pretty attractive option to me.

Granted, clarifying that would have reduced the list to 9 points rather than 12, making it 25% less linkbaity.
There is something wrong about "buying" loyalty. Call me old-fashioned but the reason you want someone in the company is because they want to contribute. How can you "generate" contribution from someone who wants to "leave?" Fundamentally it is wrong, and values outlast everything.

Hello ETH, let me introduce you to Cardano.
I must be doing something different from you. I have one adaptor on my desktop which lets me get display/ power/ USB A. It’s nice because it means removing the laptop means unplugging one thing.

I don’t take any dongles with me. Or any adaptors. My laptop case is just a protective sleeve and sometimes I bring the power brick.

It would be nice to have one USB-A port, and HDMI, but it’s not that big of a deal either.
GM (and all other auto manufacturers) include their R&D expense in their COGS since they acknowledge they must release new models every year. Tesla, doesn't.

Tesla also doesn't include showroom costs in their COGS, but they can't sell cars without them.. (all other autos only include the revenue they receive from their dealer networks as the top-line revenue figure).

These are the kinds of thing that makes people suspicious about their ultimate financials.

https://seekingalpha.com/article/2783335-how-teslas-deceptiv...

I don't care at all about stock prices, I'm actively shopping for an electric car and Teslas are near the top of my list since they're so technologically advanced, but they're just not very well as a manufacturer or as a responsibly run corporation which annoys me since I'm in corporate finance.

As an example, if Tesla and GM both had $10,000 cars for sale. GM's "Cost of Goods Sold" would include the manufacturing costs, costs for R&D and their revenue would only be $8k since the dealer networks have their own books - but then GM isn't responsible for all of the showrooms and sales staff, etc.

Tesla's revenue would show $10k, but would only include the cost to manufacturer (the R&D expense is "below the line") and they wouldn't include any costs to have hundreds of showroom locations - even those those showrooms are necessary to sell cars at any volume, and Tesla has to pay for out of that $10k sales price.

It's obviously not apples-to-apples to compare those "GAAP Gross Margin" between those two things.
it is called hot-reload.
That sounds ideal. And explains why cities without subway system, have no commuter train service either.
The high value targets are much more spread about with SSH than with HTTP. Finding a place where you could inject yourself between, for example, a user ssh'ing into a banking service and the banking service is going to be difficult. Just blindly MITM'ing a bunch of users at a coffee shop will probably get you little to nothing of any real value.

And because SSH is rarely used for the public to connect in to services it's a lot easier to add additional layers of security on top. Most valuable targets won't even be exposed in the first place or will have a VPN or some other barrier that would prevent the attack anyway.

From the HTTP end though, it's easy to narrow down "valuable" targets--there are like 5 main banks in my country. They're, by design, meant to be connected to by the public so there are no additional layers of security implemented. If you set up in a coffee shop for a day there's a pretty reasonable chance you'd find at least one or two people that had just bought a new device or were otherwise logging in for the first time that you could nab.

You'd also run into the issue of what to do when sites needed to update their certificates for various reasons. If the SSH host key changes it's pretty easy to communicate that out-of-band within a company to let people know to expect it. If a website's certificate changes what do we do? We end up training users to just blindly click through the "this website's certificate has changed!" warning and we're back to effectively zero protection.

>Do people actually believe this?

Well, it's interesting because my reply touches on that. I don't believe writing code is the hardest part of programming. Designing and thinking about code is the hard part. This was my reply:

I find the LOC discussion of Sala fascinating. In my time working on my Open Source Scala project, I've found that it does take me longer to type out each line of Scala compared to if I had done java. This is probably because Java has so much needless verbosity that doesn't require much thought.

So each line with scala is actually doing something significant, I need to give it more attention. However, the fact that my program is >3k LOC means I am never trying to remember what classes do what, or why a method works the way it does, or any of the other problems you have when working on an extremely large code base.

I'm not sure I'd be able to grok a 10k LOC java project near as well as I do my 3k LOC Scala project, and I'm that much faster because of it.

the TL;DR is Scala that the advantage of less LOC is not that I can produce more faster, it's that I can comprehend more and fit more code into my head.

the article seems alarmist. I live in Canada where we too use high concentrations of ethanol in our fuels.

There is such thing as anhydrous ethanol, which wikipedia points out is used as a fuel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol. Doesn't say if anhydrous ethanol is used as a fuel additive.
I bought an AA ticket through them on Sunday and it sent me directly to the AA site. I seem to remember that they weren't even including AA results several months ago, so they must have some direct agreement in place already.
You're not really putting much thought into this are you?

Firstly, there's a difference between ripping a DVD and downloading a pirated movie.

More importantly, DVD ripping is far, far from a mainstream activity as evidenced by the tens of millions of DVDs that are still sold every quarter. The reason it is not mainstream, like CD ripping is mainstream, is because of DRM. Anti-DRM measures are not built into operating systems or the most prevalent player applications. The studios regularly mount legal challenges, many of which are successful, against application developers that do build in anti-DRM measures. The result of all of this is that the vast majority of users do not have the tools necessary to rip DVDs. For some portion of those users who become inclined to try it, they can find a tool that does - and then they can encounter Sonys ever evolving intentional error DRM strategy whereby the tool the user has no longer functions and either needs to be updated (assuming the often fly-by-night developer is still around) or replaced. Effectively, the annoyance factor is increased enough to dissuade the casual DVD ripping user from continuing with the activity.

Hence, intentional errors has increased the annoyance factor in ripping DVDs and therefore somewhat decreased the prevalence of ripping.
I can't think of many things more likely to induce a horrible trip than some credentialed "therapist" telling me what to do in a "clinal setting".

I'm normally not one for "conspiracy theories", but I can't shake this idea that there might be some really clever marketing happening here.

Tesla releases a "clearly one-sided" marketing video, and waits for the inevitable backlash from social media. Secretly Tesla knows their truck will win in just about any 1v1 competition with a Ford (at least when it comes to towing power or max torque), so they just wait for more impartial tests which will all reaffirm the results from the first. And then they get to not only extend how long people are talking about it, but they also get "impartial" tests which can help convince those who don't trust Tesla at all.

I mean it's one thing to see Tesla show that they can tow more, but it's another to see your favorite auto blogger or tv program show it.

And at the end of the day this is just another good rivalry, which I absolutely love! I love seeing Porsche and Tesla take shots at one another about performance around the ring, and I'd love to see Ford and Tesla get in a similar battle. Each company one-upping the other with every release, each one trying to make the better vehicle both on paper and in various tests.
