I agree with that, I still use traditional email which supports a far more professional communication. As for socializing all my close friends can call me. I found that I had far to many people on facebook who I hadn't ever had a valuable conversation with. In my opinion facebook doesn't have the balance right, email is to personal, facebook is in my opinion trying to push the "more friends are better" on us to hard.

Lightning is not simply an alternate USB connector, or they never would have done it.
I suspect they have already started to do so.

Every morning I drive in the HOV lane of the 101. Waze and Google Maps give me traffic-based ETAs that are about 20 minutes longer than Tesla's. And every morning, Tesla wins. (And since I am a dork I continue to pit the 3 apps in this lopsided battle.)

The 20 minute delta is precisely the difference between the HOV and non-HOV lanes. My guess is that the Tesla traffic estimator is using telemetry from other cars on the road, which are also using the HOV lanes like me.

</anecdote>

This is purely speculative, but the technology certainly exists that would allow Telsa to do this.
Unless Buzz solves the UX issues I wrote about when it came out, no. http://alanhogan.com/buzz-is-already-dead

Edit: Summary of issues (thanks, sandofsky):

* Reading updates feels like an obligation (river of news vs inbox)

* Doesn't encourage scanning thanks to inline media & longer content

* Visual clutter incl. redundant buttons

* Too many non-friends' comments are visible
It's intended to support general relational databases. But right now the code is kind of hacky with little documentation. We wrote a paper on it but it's still under review.

No, this is the illiberal left taking their tactics one level higher, to asking for psychological evaluation.

It has caught the attention of many prominent free-speech activists in the country. Expect it to blow up further.
The last paragraph of this article is where the inanity of this tiring line of thinking really exposes itself.

Coding a a travel search engine in node.js might titillate a hacker, but what on earth does that have to do with a founding a successful startup when compared to things like product design, marketing, user experience, market targeting, etc? Not a whole lot. Which is to say that no one set of priorities or roles within a startup should be catered to or worshipped, at the cost of sound strategy and direction for a startup.

Painting hackers as primadonnas who must be woo'd and courted as the top caste of the startup community doesn't do hackers any favors, let alone all of the other players necessary in a successful startup.
In either the debt or equity case if you simply remove terms they will generally be filled in by defaults based on statute, regulations, and case law. If the issues around equity are inherently more complicated than debt, just settling for defaults doesn't much help. Both sides of the transaction are still going to need to familiarize themselves with those issues.

An analogy: most people take the default divorce law instead of writing a prenup, but those default rules are complicated, in many cases more complicated than what the parties would draft. So going with the default can save you time upfront (and awkward conversations) but it isn't generallly a good idea, especially if you opt not to understand what you are agreeing to.
Facebook is using doublespeak here.

> It is important to understand that malicious actors obtained this data not through hacking our systems but by scraping it from our platform prior to September 2019.

.. a couple paragraphs later ::

> We believe the data in question was scraped from people’s Facebook profiles by malicious actors using our contact importer prior to September 2019.

Gee, that sounds a lot like someone abused your contact importer tool to do something you didn't intend for it to do. Which is also the definition of other "hacks", like SQL injection
Matching the impact von Neumann made by himself in the 20th century might take dozens of von Neumanns today.
That's why I said basic refrigerators, which still have compressors controlled by an analogue thermostat. Like the kind you find in a typical cheap rental apartment. Refrigerators are one of those appliances that really do not benefit much from "smart" technology. And LEDs don't count; that's my point.
My immediate thought: train a Transformer (or Tacotron2) that transforms text to the encoded Lyra codes... And, we will finally have a good real-time open-source text-to-speech system running on mobile devices.
I’m curious. What’s your company? I work in software consulting and often find that our enterprise clients are unwilling to hire product managers.
The article quotes Marianne Bellotti quite a bit, and I recommend her newish book "Kill It With Fire"
exactly ASP.Net is a much more mature framework right now and web forms seems to be the least preferred option to build apps
> Which is quite large, considering that Clang and GCC are the standard compilers for just about every major non-Microsoft platform, including the mobile ones.

I have worked with a few enterprise customers (Fortune 500) that only allowed the compilers from the respective OS vendors. And new versions required an approval process to be followed.

There is more out there than just GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, *BSD and Android.

Granted, this was around 10 years ago, but I doubt the situation changed at all in such environments.
Eh, it's just a more verbose "If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life."
Graphical profilers are really helpful for identifying hot spots in your code, and in my experience usually lead to a between 2-5x improvement in performance just by identifying allocator pressure and algorithmic issues. Go may be an annoying language, but its graphical profiler is great! Xcode's profiler tools are pretty nice as well.
Now that door-to-door supermarket deliveries are a thing (at least, they are here in the UK) it actually seems that a lot of items would just be more convenient to order on a subscription basis. For example, I'm pretty much always* going to need toilet paper, soap, shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, tea bags, salt, pepper, etc. at about the same rate as I need them now. None of those things will spoil fast enough for it to be a problem if they're not delivered exactly when I need them. I would be delighted to just not have to think about the essentials and leave grocery shopping for the more interesting, impulsive decisions. These buttons seem to be just for the former, though. In other words, I'd rather not have the button OR the auto-running-out-sensing thing when a regular order would just be easier all round.
Is it better? At least I didn’t need to actively isolate tabloid magazines from other parts of my life.
...while at the same time US law seem to magically apply everywhere in the world. Extradition to the US is very common. Not to mention https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraordinary_rendition
Google's statement does not claim that the screenshots were shared with others. "Outside the company" covers a multitude of possibilities. It could also include saving screenshots in one's personal GMail account (in Google Docs, etc.), which Google may be able to access (I don't know if they can or not, but the relevant company is the US, where these things are usually more legal than in the EU).

If so, it might suggest a wish to share with people in future, e.g. in a court case, etc., but it doesn't necessarily mean that this information _has been_ shared.

It could also mean that the information _was_ shared with others, just pointing out that it isn't exactly what the statement says.
The article says that Boston Dynamics agrees with you, and has a clause in the lease agreement requiring that it not be equipped with weapons or anything to 'physically harm' a person.

"i'd buy that for a dollar!"
The way I see it:

You donate blood and you donate to a charity. You pay for music and you pay for books. When you donate you don't expect to get something back in return. When you pay you expect something back.

Even though no one is forcing you to give in either case the mental model is a quite different. For example, as a musician I want people to pay me because they enjoy my music not because they feel that I need the money. As a listener I will pay someone if I enjoy their music - I don't really care about the financial status of the musician.
That's what it seems like. Unless I'm missing something, it seems like there has got to be a ton of prior art that would invalidate this, forget the fact that it is obvious.
You don't even have to do that much. Just click the Get Started button without typing in anything.
Is there a post that lists the reason for the change?
But unlike VNC it extends the desktop.
If a desktop will do what you need, looking for your local freegeek.org or similar computer recycling program is a great strategy. They offer systems free or cheap to those who couldn't otherwise afford them.
Giving equity at an early stage of the startup is not good, what happens if the startup fails?
Do you mean tax reports, or just the taxable income? At least in Finland only your taxable incomes after deductions are public information, which a decent compromise between transparency and privacy.
When it comes to others they have total disregard as to how difficult to deploy any fix is. The same standard should apply to themselves, but clearly doesn't.
The point of the article is to blame all her personal problems on fuzzy men.

Some people need to believe that the West is just as bad as China, reality be damned.
David, I can't help but to feel like you are making a REALLY good point. CF only has a few outspoken advocates. Popular ones that I can think of I can count on one hand.

It's definitely not "cool" among the startup culture, which seems to drive a lot of the language popularity.
I have been happily using KDE on Arch Linux for many years as well.

Just two times I saw what seemed to be an xorg glitch which required powering off and on the display output via xrandr over SSH.

And MTP (android file transfer) implementation under KDE is not ideal, it sometimes freezes or behaves weirdly. ADB CLI helps in such cases, though.

Other than that it's a pretty solid and usable system.

If you decide to use Linux, make sure your HW is well supported. For example AMD seems to be better choice over nVidia or even Intel.
Other options exist. My own career progression was something like

* Coding

* Architecting – develop system frameworks with juniors filling in the detail

* Communicating with customers to understand their needs, often by sitting with them using software we had developed

* Helping the customers to write good requirements statements

* Knowing enough about the domain to identify the need for a new system, as a precursor to writing the requirements

* Helping the customers to develop business cases for new systems and explore costs and benefits of competing solutions

* Advising the customers on how they could improve their own processes by, for example, using standards rather than suffering proprietary lock-in

* Supporting customer change programmes, e.g. to change their organisation and processes to prevent creating incompatible stovepiped systems in the first place

The domain here was simulation-based military training systems (typically vehicle simulators but also simulations of the wider battlespace and C4ISR systems). The progression took place over about twenty years.
It's mass sensitive because of regulation. Of course you have to haul your battery around and that impacts range, performance, charging, etc. but not wanting to waste money and time while the DOT writes you a ticket is the primary driver.

The big problem with electric commercial trucks is that the local delivery stuff that is most readily electrified is also the stuff where weight regulations are your biggest thorn in side (for a variety of reasons).

The step van that delivers bread would already be electric if it weren't for the fact that the extra 800lb would push them into a different more expensive regulatory class where they become unprofitable or displace so much cargo they become unprofitable.
wrt horizontal scaling. Do recall that the motivation for this strategy by Google was cheap-as-possible servers that failed constantly. Back when they built racks using legos the problem was hardware reliability. They had to 'scale' horizontally for reliability (given cost constraints) as much as load.

People have since bought into the marketing reasons for 'being in the cloud' and having 'infinite scalability' but that largely misses the point (and the pain) that caused many of these technologies and patterns to be developed in the first place.

The best example of how to scale without buying into this pattern I know of is Stack Overflow. At least circa 2016 - https://nickcraver.com/blog/2016/02/17/stack-overflow-the-ar...
If you're creating your own browser you are not going to start with CEF. You're going to take the Chromium source code and build from there.
It's not like that everywhere. In Seattle you do it in regular traffic.
This seems fairly anecdotal. Do you believe this is a larger issue that the spontaneous collaboration is causing you to miss deadlines? Ultimately if the marketing goals are met through your efforts why not use this as leverage?
From Vista to Surface RT, was it? I am just glad. A much needed change for Microsoft.
I haven't looked at RISC-V much; a quick glance at the ISA spec makes me think it has 32 GPRs? That is nice to see, as with Power slowly fading and Sparc essentially dead, we are stuck with the somewhat more constrained x86-64 and ARM.

SBCL, for example, uses 2 stacks in its precise GC, as it will use one stack for unboxed integers and calling out to C, and another for lisp objects, which should be the roots for the GC; on x86-64 it uses a conservative GC for this reason (on ARM they implemented the precise one, but seem to be losing significant performace due to register pressure).

In general 16 registers seems to be "just barely enough" most of the time, which translates to "super painful" the few times you could use more.
Go Hoosiers!

Thanks Sumedh, I like your idealstartupintern.com & the idea of it. It looks neat and is something intern-seeker/job-seeker can definitely look into developing.

I think each designer have their own set of processes that changes and develops over time. I have one that's slowly coming into shape - I'll look into articulate it better and integrate it into the portfolio site.

Agree with the blog posts comment. I have too many draft sitting around that I need to get them polished and published.

I'm still a little iffy on expressing too much on the entire site. I don't want to be labelled as being minimalistic - although the term has some good connotation to it. I think ultimately, I hope the site should be simple and yet expressive.

All very good comments. I know I'm leaving myself bare by posting here, but getting all these comments push me to think. I really appreciate them.

So are you in Bloomington right now?
Or fire from electrical failure. I'm sure it's rarer than the chances of a car crash though.
The reason I mentioned the super rich of the past, is that they had enough money to buy whatever was available. Most other people couldn't afford to buy much at all, I imagine.

So the question is, were the super rich then as acquisitive as we are today? Were there rooms in their mansions filled with pointless things? Or were they surprisingly spartan by the standards of today?

I'm trying to figure out whether our insatiable appetite for more and more stuff is a modern thing, or whether it's always been there. And if it is largely a modern thing, what caused it? Non-stop advertising?

Your point about amassing wealth in the form of jewels etc. is a good one.
The employment contract scenario doesn't require download-by-hash, only deduplication. You could just measure the amount of network traffic the client needs to "upload" your file.
Quite an interesting article. The best part is that the article does not judge. It simply lays down facts for us and leaves the opinionated part onto us.
I am more of a Python guy but being a language enthusiast I like to learn and experiment with other languages. Ruby the language is something that I found to be beautifully designed and I really like a lot of its concepts (especially pure OO and blocks which come from Smalltalk). While I know Ruby by writing small scripts and reading the pickaxe book, I have really been wanting to use Ruby in a medium scale project. These sort of articles scare me. Some of the reasons why I haven't gone into Ruby fully are:

* Most of the information is web/rails centric. I generally write unix server apps/tools which have nothing to do with the Web.

* The standard library packages have weird names so its difficult to find. E.g. With DRb it wasn't immediate to me what it does.

* The stdlib documentation is a little lacking. I read the pickaxe book but the stdlib documentation doesn't compare with what I am used to with Python.

* Based on the posts I have read it seems to me that there are multiple libraries that do the same job. So it becomes difficult for a noob like me to know which lib I should invest my time in.

* Articles like these are scary for a Ruby noob like me. For example, I was excited about DRb when I first read about it. Now, in the first of these 'stdlib is ghetto' articles, apparently DRb is not very nice. Thats just confusing to me.

I think Ruby is a really neat language but the Ruby community needs to stop confusing people who want to try it out.
This is a valid argument with several points worth discussing.

To the people downvoting, that is not what downvoting is for.
The new foreword by Hofstadter in GEB made "I Am a Strange Loop" sound very appealing. That foreword almost seemed like an admonition to not read GEB and instead check out his later books.

I was not aware of this subgenre. I will certainly look into it. Thanks.
Why does this need access to my browsing history? :(
I've worked with programs in half a dozen Lisp dialects and everyone who claims Lisp is hard to understand because of the syntax is wrong. The only reason I could work with so many dialects and so many programs is because the syntax is uniform. If you think you have an idea for how to "improve" Lisp syntax that involves an ambiguous infix grammar, please stop trolling and go write some Python.
of course, hide and downvote without giving an argument. This is not different from the freedom you want oh wait
Of course, they're falsehoods that everyone believes about addresses (except maybe for postal workers), but programmers are the only ones who have to actually think about them.

It would be nice to come up with some sort of conclusion or recommendation. Should addresses just be used as one big blob of text, and never parsed at all? should there be individual per-country libraries for parsing them? should we just address everything by coordinates (which doesn't solve the houseboat problem)? How about a unique identifier for every person on the planet, plus a gps tracking system that guarantees big brother can deliver to you whenever, wherever?

Now that the average piece of post is a prig package that needs signing for, rather than a small letter that can just go through the letterbox, I quite like the idea of centralised pigeon-hole buildings, that have existed in many towns as the only method of delivery, but are now being born everywhere thanks to amazon, etc. That's quite a different problem, though :-)
Tcl is the major scripting language used by all FPGA vendors, and sadly it doesn't look like it is going away. You can call Python from it, but FPGA developers (especially those Windows) will make a big fuss about installing an external tool, and should they install Python2 or Python3? Also, the major FPGA programming languages (vhdl and verilog) make tcl look great (or any other language, for that matter).
If there is a pointing system there will be people who abuse it. You can't create a "perfect" pointing system (at least it never worked out). Look at impact factors in science, page rank or anything else.

Having said that I really like StackOverflow. I didn't contribute to them ever but whenever I google some difficult question it's really often that a StackOverflow link is the first or second result. It may not be perfect but it is really a step forward compared to tech forums.

Fiction is cultural commentary, and 1984 is designed by its author, specifically, to engage the culture in the discourse regarding the rights of the individual versus the needs of the state. To take 1984 literally is to lose the plot entirely; to consider it an analog of the human condition - like so many other works of literature, both fiction and non-fiction - is the point entirely. 1984 has as much relevance now as it ever has, and should be required reading for everyone - not just school kids - who care about the state of their cultures in the future.
The post you're responding to did not say anything about broadcasts. But the tax is not for picking up signals, any consumption of BBC media means the viewer must pay the license fee.

The term government is preferable because the term 'state' is vague to people outside the UK. Being a government run service does not mean the BBC is required to follow the ideology on the current party in power.

You're right about channel four though.
I've always assumed that there was some kind of fee that needed paying to get your airline listed on Orbitz.
