I'm rather confused by the misuse of the term "AI", to the point, I no longer know what is true. I thought true AI needs to pass some sort of test that demonstrates real intelligence? So, did the Singularity event happen already and I didn't notice?

It means that construction prices used to be through the roof (very high). Now they've fallen back down through the roof to somewhere on the main floor, but not in the basement.
Two of my last 3 positions have been a recruiter reaching out to me via LinkedIn.

75% of my attempts to find my own via job applications result in no response (your stats are better than mine), with zero feedback at one point or another (ghosting).

If you're not using recruiters, you should be. The discussion you get let's you sell yourself a little better than you can with a paper application only, and they often have additional info you won't find in the job descriptions
I will have to check them out and possibly emotionally prepare myself since living through seeing this in a large company is hilarious and sad at the same time.
Great article! I can definitely relate to your points when being on the buyers side. I am a real estate broker, which requires a huge level of sales. I am curious to hear if you have the same belief regarding someone in a service/brokerage industry?
This is such a good resource!
There are a few German studios using Erlang and JVM languages for their MMOs on the server side.
Thanks for the feedback ! I'm planning to use more robust and scale invariant features for this so this problem of different levels of zoom would be solved (at least to the limits of what can be done).
Jason Snell wrote an interesting article about his experience with an advertiser and sponsorships. He's running his own blog now (Six Colors) with a similar model to Gruber.

Chariot is fantastic. I live in the Marina and work on Market. Taking the 30 sucks, period. As does Muni in general. I moved back to SF in September after being away. After a month and half of constantly being reminded just how often Muni failed, or was unreliable, I gave up and bought a bike.

Which was great, but there are PLENTY of days when it's either rainy, or cold, or I just don't feel like dealing with the bike. Chariot makes those days sooo much better than facing the 30 (or whatever I'd have to take if I were still working in SOMA.)

There's apparently so much of a market here (for a commuter service not as terrible as Muni) that another company, Loup, seems to be completely cloning what Chariot is doing, complete with having people go up and directly try and steal customers while they are waiting at Chariot's stops.

It's often in the form of public right to use the coastline below mean high water or something along those lines. However, that often does not include an automatic right to land access. The details vary mostly at the state level.
Yeah I was going to mention that. Devs usually have Mac Books, XPS, X1 Carbons, modern screens blasting 500 nits. Most real people have sh8tty TN panels or old small monitors.
I don't know many people my age who can still handle dark mode.

It was easy for me many years ago. I looked at command lines all day and no problem.

Now I see blurry lines for 10 minutes all around me if I have to spend any length of time in a command line interface, or look at an article in dark mode.

This is, unfortunately, an accessibility issue, not a design issue.
Well if someone wasn’t following procedures then I suppose anything is possible. But the general premise of the article (that ‘fumes’ are making their way back into perfectly good buildings via the plumbing) is problematic.
I'm not a night owl. I prefer dark mode. It matters when you're staring at a screen for more than 12 hours a day
> Dark mode looks like shit on CRTs and even older flat panels with poor contrast.

I think you got it backwards. I remember using black backgrounds and things like "mc -b" specifically because CRTs I used sucked at light colors, trinitron displays later were nicer though and using white backgrounds was pleasant. Nowadays led backlit displays suck again on light and bright colors and don't seem to improve, hence "dark mode" became a solution.
> For one thing, the companies today have actual revenues and profits.

The new wave "tech" companies, like Netflix and Tesla, haven't had a yearly profit yet.

And those are the best examples of "modern tech" (anyone who IPO'd after 2007). If we get into MoviePass, Uber, Lyft, Pelton, WeWork, etc. etc., we're into the "lose $4 Billion PER QUARTER" group.

Tesla "only loses $1 Billion/year" (roughly), making it a far more "profitable" company than these other ones.

I absolutely think we're in a bubble: driven by cheap debt. The problem is that I can't call when it will pop. Without knowing how or why things will pop, its completely useless to speculate. Stocks remain the best investment moving forward: with global bonds entering negative interest rates, and US Debt at record low-interest.

So even if I think there's a bubble, I'm pumping stocks because I don't have any better idea of what to invest into.
Go to one of the popular land-for-sale websites and look up "landlocked" or "no easement" - you can get the land for almost nothing (for good reason).
That would be fascinating to augment this article. Take all the places that the Chinese have used concrete, look at alternative materials, then add those up in the U.S. and China as well.

That said they've obviously been investing at an outrageous rate since 2000 in modernizing themselves. The U.S. has started on that way before and without centralizing planning in the same way has done it more slowly over time (with a smaller population in 2015, let alone 1900. Important to realize the U.S. population has grown a lot over the past century).
Scala support: yes, add using Skylark. Definitely let us know if you run into any rough edges, Skylark is a work-in-progress.

For multiple repos: there's no command line flag, but you could change the WORKSPACE file to use http://bazel.io/docs/build-encyclopedia.html#local_repositor.... Unfortunately, this may be of limited use to you. At the moment it's optimized/bugged to assumed that your local repos don't change, so it won't rebuild them (this is great for things like the JDK and gcc, but not so much for actual in-development repos). Feel free to file feature requests for any functionality you need, I'll be working on this a lot over the next couple months.
Intentionally deceptive communication is evil in brick-and-mortar stores too. That's one of the reasons that many people prefer online shopping -- to escape aggressive and manipulative salespeople.
The realistic economy of UO failed pretty much immediately as well. NPC shop keepers kept actual hours and would only buy/sell things as they needed. This didn't go over well with the newbie who just sewed together 5000 skullcaps and needed to sell them in the off hours.
Short summary, for anyone who already knows the basics of poker: yes, the cards are random, but everyone's bets are a function of their statistical competance and their ability to make inferences from other people's bets, and therefore poker is a game of skill. It's a fine article but it appears to contain very little new insight.
Speed reading is a good test if the text is completely redundant and worthless. Anyone reading math books faster than 5 pages / hour ?
When engaging in options trading, startup investments, penny stocks, and other Black Swan strategies, you can be in a situation where you most all your money 90% of the time, but 10% of the investments have a 100x return. If you pursue this risky strategy, you need to be able to hold on in the face of volatility and sky-high gains.

I wouldn't recommend this strategy to anyone who doesn't have Vulcan-level discipline over their emotions, but it is a valid investment strategy.
The same thing happened in March 2020. r/wsb was filled with people holding spy puts when VIX hit 80. They kept saying diamond hands as if the entire market is going to zero because of “quad witching” expiry. It’s a recurring theme.
Nobody is "immune" to mistakes but the framework under which the military operates raises the bar for any kind of attack or mistake simply by forcing the personnel to more consistently adhere to stricter rules regardless of the sector (in front of a keyboard or a trigger).

And coming back to the particular Nimrod crash, the findings of the inquiry suggest a chain of issues slightly more complex than your analogy suggests. Setting a root password of "password" goes way beyond poor maintenance, it's designing the plane with a crack in the wing.
As always. Contacting the CEO of GitHub because they (Ant Design) realised they don't own their own repositories.

GitHub can do whatever it likes to repositories that are on its platform. Mistake or not. If you can host https://ant.design, surely you can also self-host a mirror to GitHub, like many other open-source software repositories out there.

This ultra dependency on GitHub is equivalent to going all in without backups and it really has to stop. Unless you have a backup or a mirror.
You go to where your customers are. If you’re building for yourself, find people like you. If you’re building for someone else, reach out to them cold, then ask them to refer you to people like them. If you’re building something they want, they will refer their friends.

The best book on the subject is the “Startup Owner’s Manual.” If you’re starting a B2B company, try “Lean B2B.”
I think the right word was compliment. Complement means goes well with, compliment means a good comment.
Get someone -- a friend, a consultant -- with domain knowledge and preferably hiring experience to help write your listing, screen and interview your candidates. Make sure your qualifications are spot-on, well-targeted and appropriately descriptive.
I'm 37 and studying with the Open University. With full-time (non-technical) work and a family, the time demands can be quite high (so high that I don't have time to work on my own project) but I think the benefits of a structured education can't be overstated.
We are building an online data visualization tool, which may be of interest to you. Email me at hrishi@prettygraph.com if you would like to discuss a solution.
It's simpler, if all you're running is windows programs? The third world has been a windows fiefdom for ages, and they have to rely on legacy hardware where any spurious processes running mean slowdown.
Start becoming technical yourself. You'll begin to learn what 'great programmer' means to you, and will have a much better sense of what type of technical talent you need. I think this is true even if you don't progress very far down the path towards becoming technical -- at least giving it a shot will count dramatically in your favor.
That's just it -- many of these listings are misnomers, targeting the naive and/or desperate. Why beat that horse any more than it already has been if it's not even an accurate use of the term?
There are already prizes for teaching, though I've never heard of one larger than $2k. In general, no one cares about such prizes.

People only bother to pay attention in edge cases - if faculty X wants to hire applicant A, and Y wants to hire B (where A,B are equally qualified), X might get desperate and point out that A is a good teacher and has a prize.
ffs, this attitude causes massively more problems than it solves.

I don't think that it causes so many problems to just use MySQL instead of Postgres from the very beginning of a project. I like using Postgres and I understand that I shouldn't care about scaling but if a make a good decision from the very beginning it can't hurt.
> what if that div only exists for the purposes of the grid layout?

Those things aren't supposed to exist. HTML is supposed to look like:

<div class="blogpost><h1> ...
<div id="mainmenu"> ...

We never got enough power in CSS to actually do that, and current frameworks are a return to the table based layout of the 90s where structure of the layout (not structure of the content) is stored in the HTML.

If semantic in terms of HTML is ever thrown around meaning anything but description of the content, it is used wrong.

The question about "semantic for what purpose" is moot when talking about HTML. It is semantic towards what information the content conveys.

"Semantic HTML is the use of HTML markup to reinforce the semantics, or meaning, of the information in webpages rather than merely to define its presentation or look."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_HTML

The question of whether that is feasible to do with current technology is completely different, but it is too late to try and redefine semantic HTML.
To clarify with respect to the linked article and technique, this is about a genetically modified individual passing on the modification to their children. There's no 'chain reaction' through existing fully grown cells and they can't propagate a modification through your cells (yet, at least!).
> 2) Reduce delivery to 3 days a week. Would anyone complain about this? How many people even check their mail every single day without fail?

If my own sphere of influence, I only know 1 person who _doesn't_ check their mail daily.
It's sorta like politics. Sure, third-party candidates can make it through at times, but the system is heavily weighted against them.
I think that's how it improves your productivity.
There's also just not maximising your browser window.
To use an analogy, let's say you had two programming languages:

- Language A has very poor support for unit testing and requires that you put a lot of extra effort in to do it

- Language B supports unit testing out of the box, and supports automatically generating stub code for the tests.

All things being equal, which setup do you think will lead to more unit testing, and by extension a higher quality/more maintainable product?

(I use unit testing here as it's something that is often unseen but useful, much like accessibility)

Tools are not solely to blame for poor craftsmanship, but they can greatly contribute to it.
I would love some useful charts. Let me see a histogram of how much enters and leaves my account on a particular day of the week or a particular week of the month. Give me a visualization of how much money from my debit card goes where. Line items are not great at giving me a sense of where I could trim my budget.

Give me an interactive budget "wizard" for reaching particular goals and identifying major cost centers. For an example that's almost wholly not applicable to me, "If you cancel cable and bring lunch to work every day, you can pay off your student loans two years sooner." With this sort of thing, it's easier to make the case for thrift to others.
"Innovation is hardly considered in economics at all."

Well, you're wrong.* It should, however, be noted that the dominance of this kind of economics may be new to the mainstream. I have only been reading economics textbooks for the last three years.

"Networks and interconnectedness are not considered at all in 'textbook' economic definitions."

Of course they are, for example in every study ever written on globalization, the structure of corporations, corporate governance or insider trading. Or is there some special definition of the terms you're using?

"When agents already have perfect information, why do you need to meet others?"

None of the textbooks in economics (HS and undergraduate courses) or economists I have read assume this to be true, or even a useful approximation for most markets.

"I'd love to see a textbook definition of innovation that comes close to what you have asserted here."

Innovation is used in my textbook as it is in the description of the innovation economics theory. (I don't have it with me now.)

So, your link says that 2014 was in a statistical, er, dead-heat with 2005 and 2010. But the NYT's graph show's 2014 is noticeably above 2005 and 2010, certainly not just a hundredth of a degree higher. What's the resolution?
Well but the key word there is "somebody." If there was a single, all-encompassing, global world government that forced all fishermen to do this, then yes, we'd have a problem. If the United States (for example) caused its fishermen to do this, then the people of the United States would be well-advised to change this law, else they'll soon be out of fish. But even if they didn't, it's still not a question of "forcing" or "rights." Fishermen would simply fish elsewhere; at great cost, perhaps, with a loss of opportunity, no doubt, but it's still a question of choice.
In your case your pay increased 5 times too.

Who wouldn't want such a life.
I completely and profoundly disagree. Why do you think many great philosophers, intellectuals, and achievers have struggled with depression? Because they made bad decisions? There are plenty of idiots dispensing awful advice while wearing a smile on their face, as well. If you want to feel good, talk to a happy person that will tell you what you want to hear. If you want the truth, talk to a thinker.
Judging from the wikipedia disambiguation page, he is probably referring to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, although I always thought they were more into AK-47s than into cell phones. (Cue dramatic orchestral music while an PLO commando rips into an apple store, throwing iPads into the air as shooting targets, or whaterver imagery the GP wanted to convey...)

But yeah, I concurr, gratuitous use of arcane TLAs can be annoying.
HiFiBerry is a very good option
Hmm, shot by both sides. Now your ISP will throttle your Netflix stream to try and punish you for not buying video content from them, and Netflix will stop you from using a VPN to try and slip past your ISP?

Right, which is a subsidiary of Iridium:

The author's terrorism concerns are way overblown and the reasoning supporting them specious, but there is a more basic issue with hypersonic point-to-point transportation systems outside of the additional arguments related to current air travel, at least for vehicles designed to go suborbital/exoatmospheric:

Once we are talking about traveling to a destination and not simply going "straight" up and down, the costs, maintenance issues, safety requirements, development time, thermal management, mission management, guidance systems, etc., get within spitting distance of actually developing an orbital vehicle.

Future technology improvements and cost reductions cannot be ruled out, of course, but given the basic physics and what we know of the near future of aerospace technology, it seems a stretch (at least) to expect a profitable, safe point-to-point suborbital system to be a viable undertaking.

And once we are talking about orbital systems, where the cost and risk/reward equation at least seem to be more desirable and unrelated to point-to-point travel, the question of suborbital point-to-point fades into the background.
No one likes surveillance but can anyone provide a better/cheaper option to prevent large scale crime like terrorist attack?
just when we thought, "Finally, here's a content delivery system that isnt artificially limited by some stupid regional, device (DRM), screen-size or targeted release-date rules."
There are 30 people in every industry, so it's a lot more than 30 total.
Does that seem biased to anyone? It is a business-minded publication, and YC founders are obviously above-average, but surely there are other young founders and entrepreneurs who are deserving of credit as well?
If I had to balance the scales it would be more by taking from the perceived value of whatsapp than adding to SpaceX.
You could somehow use it to establish kind of an official page to JS-community. Right now js-community is divided, there is the angular community, the jquery community, the node community, the meteor community, etc, but a JS community that would aggregate all JS project communities is not organized yet. Without it JS will always look less popular than it really is.
OneNote is included!

Wow you have no idea how happy that makes me as a OneNote user since 2006 or so. It's my favorite part of Office.
Yes. I was a 90s developer. I was only 8 years old. I was born in 1991. I remember them. I used them to make my personal webpage as part of my computer class (yes we learned that at such young age at HK) assignment. God, they were fun! And you know what else we were doing? Dreamweaver MX!
I'm sure somebody else has mentioned it, but don't forget frames!
"According to Gov. Cuomo [0] New York is now testing more per capita than any place else including China or South Korea"

No - this is not accurate. Both your statement and the statement by Cuomo are not true.

As of last Wednesday, S Korea has done 295 000 people, of ~50M. [1]

As of yesterday, NY has done 45,437 tests for ~20M people.

So Cuomo's statement is looking a little Trumpish, I'm not accusing him of lying, but he's spreading false information which happens to make him look good, he needs to be more accurate.

Also - your statement misinterprets his - the NYC statement says 'any other state' - not 'any other place'. Canada is testing a little bit more widespread than NY, surely there are others.

So NYC is acting, but there's no 'cutting edge' or 'exceptional' response in America of anything right now. S. Korea, Taiwan, Singapore are looking like 'world leaders' here, granted, they have different kinds of systems entirely.

It's possible that some of their other social artifacts, such as 'basic face masks' might actually be responsible for reducing spread. Since 'lockdown' in North America the spread has continued unabated, and in S. Korea, there's no lock-down and they have it under control (though they are doing more testing as well).

There might possibly be something very specific about the spread of the virus that we don't understand, which if we were to be able to focus on, we could be more effective.

> Even younger people often enough have conditions they're not even aware of.

True and more complicated than that sounds. I was diagnosed with asthma at 28. A year and a half ago, at age 39, a pulmonary specialist rated my lung capacity at 115% compared to other males of my age and height likely due to exercising through unmedicated asthma. Undiagnosed underlying conditions shouldn’t prevent intentional efforts to be continuously healthy.
That's how we got virtualization on x86. When AMD killed segmentation in AMD64, VMware et al cried out loud. AMD reintroduced segmentation after that as a stop-gap solution, but then we got VTx and SVM which are a much better solution anyways.
Exercise due caution with regard to CBD, megadose Vit C, “MMS” (aka industrial bleach), etc, etc. The people advancing these miracle claims are almost always either indulging, selling, or both. Ego and money corrupt even good science when we let them; imagine what they do in presence of unquestioning, evangelical Beliefs. And they are out in force right now, putting even the most venal pharma corp to shame. Panic is no reason to bypass robust replicated research, or even more will die.
