Windows should have a similar amount of compatibility. The API is basically the same at least as far back as Windows 3.1 (1992), and probably further (though I have no personal experience with programming for older versions of Windows).

Also, Windows 3.1 can be augmented with Win32s, which offers a subset of the 32-bit Windows API -- so it's possible for a single binary to run on Windows 3.1 all the way through Windows 10 (64-bit Windows does not support 16-bit executables). If you want to try this for yourself, Win32s is rather finicky, so executables produced by modern compilers won't run. I believe I used Borland C++ 5.5, which is now available as a free download.
> The reality we should hope for would ask the question of how many Americans or Floridians are food insecure, not how many of this race or that.

Well yes and no. No American should experience food insecurity, but also some demographics experience more food insecurity than others.
Assembly is nice, but not necessary.

I don’t know about the Amiga, but the C64, Atari, and TI computers of the era either booted into a BASIC prompt or you could get there with one or two key presses. Many of us spent a lot of our youth making games and sharing them with our friends.
So far, per the Bureau of Land Management, at least in the New Mexico/Texas/Oklahoma/Kansas territory ( for example ), it seems the law is one may occupy some/most undeveloped zones for 14 days at a stretch ( within one 28-day period, whether in one shot or split up over the 28 days ) but then must move 25 miles away after that before returning. Presumably 28 days later. There are other stipulations like no less than 800 feet from a water source, no less than 300 feet from an established road. Etc.

Actually all these figures, except the number of days, seem to vary from source to source. It'd be nice if there's someone who has experience who knows... and where 4G LTE access is still intact in these dispersed camping territories.
Copyright infringement is not stealing.

Stealing happens when I take resource from you in a way that denies you that resource, e.g. taking money or property, using your time without paying an agreed price.

Copyright infringement happens when I don't follow your artificial scarcity rules. You aren't denied any resource you had before my infringement.

Please stop calling copyright infringement stealing. It is not. Doing so is an oversimplification of the issue designed to induce unwarranted feelings of guilt in people (due to western notions of Stealing is Wrong).
May be it's too bold to call this project as Dropbox clone (is there native client for major OSes?)

But there is a market for open source filesharing application for sure.
True. For many cases, the dates of the jail-time to serve can even be negotiated to some extent.
Thinking in meta levels.
They make a big deal about saving you time because you have "better things to do", but then their "Tell me more" presentation wastes loads of your time making you click multiple times without actually telling you anything of substance!
One of them, Carl Lundström, has quite some money. For the other guys, I think they don't have very much in terms of personal means (unless the prosecutions version where they earned lots of money is true).
More about development process you can find at: http://www.vcarrer.com/2010/11/hacker-news-mobile-front-page...
I mean that these "enterprise" applications (which are not CRUD desktop applications, and are definitely not moving to web applications in my lifetime) run on "big iron", which is multi-processor-based-- and that there will be lots of people working hard to make these platforms more parallel-friendly in the future.
maybe we could shift them some money from Adam Neumann's bank account
Just finished The Peripheral in an evening binge, and honestly I don't care for it.

Gibson, in the Sprawl trilogy (probably his best works), and the associated short stories, used to do a much better job of focusing on the characters. You usually had some lower-class or poor folks scurrying about, trying to eke out a living. I likened it to a friend once as ants fighting on the edges of glaciers: fierce, crude, and utterly inconsequential in the orbits of their environs.

The problem I had with Peripheral, as well as with Zero History, is that he's fallen into "Oh, hey, here's a bunch of rich people--so super rich you can't even imagine--and they'll just deus ex machina everything along". I hate that.

In the earlier works, those characters (the dim spectre of Maas Biotech, or the Tessier-Ashpool for example) are just background threads, occasionally injecting events or setting the stage, and focus is kept on the minions and protagonists. In Peripheral, the real badguy is just dull "oh and then this evil thing happened", and the rich people are kind of separated from any of the action and stakes that matter. Indeed, the central conceit of the story is such that, by definition, there is no real impact beyond a slightly-higher-than-normal gentleman's game going on.

Contrast this with Case, or Armitage, or Automatic Jack, or any of those characters in the Sprawl verse. Those characters occasionally directly deal with high-up powers, constantly get used by them, and are fully aware of it, and yet there is the very real chance that maybe--just maybe, if they play their cards right--they could perhaps get a slim chance to act instead of react. No such setup is available in Peripheral.

Moreover, I'm really disappointed in the way that Homes and the veteran stuff is handled. Like, I kind of dig the "haptic veterans" human refuse thing, I get some of the used-world feel, but honestly it all feels kind of phoned in. Contrast this with what Stephenson pulled off twenty years ago, or even what Gibson himself pulled off in Count Zero. Like, the notes are there, but there's no soul behind it.
Passwords and MD5?
I'm constantly trying to determine what it is that's wrong with .Net (aside from the politics) -- and I think you might have nailed it -- it might be as simple as 'design view' and all the 'built-in stuff you should never use that looks really tempting/easy'.

That's today's guess anyway.

Such a great language (C#) and platform... while there are certainly healthy parts of the ecosystem/community, a huge chunk of it (majority even?) is crap, which is a shame.
Hm, there is a market value for bitcoins? 25$/hour sounds like a very good deal - as long as power consumption is less, it is a license to print money?

Maybe this is the final incentive for me to look into EC2...
I also liked Bulletproof Web Design for all the real world examples, not sure that the techniques shown there are up-to-date though.
The price of one karma point is upper-bounded by the cost of making it yourself. Since you could just create a sock puppet to upvote yourself (assuming newbies may vote -- haven't kept track of the catalog) in a minute, and the minute is worth $0 (because HN is a sweet waste of time), one karma point can't cost more than $0.

However, the price isn't linear. You can't boost yourself by a million that way because PG would notice. So million-point karma packages could actually have a nonzero monetary value.
A laptop?! This is the first result on google: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF04a/12169-304616-2...
If you look closely at the Places results, you'll see that many of them have not yet been claimed by their owners. It was automatically generated from public information such as Yellow Pages.

What it means is that Chiropractors who don't have a web presence can still have information about them (i.e., address and phone information) returned via a search result. Isn't that a good thing for the Chiropractors?
I think the elimination of lead from gasoline happened at different points in time in different countries. unless they all had a similarly timeshifted crack epidemic (and of the same magnitude), that might help sorting things out.

(also: maybe crack use is a result of a violent environment, thus the causality chain could be lead -> violence -> crack - assuming there is any causality between any of these)
How does that example show that their "heart ... is in the right place"? All of the men made it clear that they would only participate if no one got hurt, and one of them was doing so to fund his brother's cancer treatment.

If you're broke and faced with the death of a beloved family member, and then someone comes along and offers you $250k and a guarantee that no one gets hurt, it's hard for me to believe that most people wouldn't participate.
Twilight Strategy is fantastic. I made something to better navigate the card strategy pages (hyperlinks between cards):

VPN pipe most likely. At least, that's what I would do.

My guess is someone will set up a proxy service specifically for this.
Does anyone have an example of ISIS supplied anti-India content?
Yeah, I nearly hit the ceiling myself.
That sounds like a really great setup. I'm going to have to try this out one day. I've never really considered the specific benefits remote pairing would have over in-person pairing...generally the only things considered are the downsides.

Obviously, some of the things you mentioned with in-person pairing can be alleviated. At my current client, our setup includes multiple keyboards and mice. A friend of mine uses his own keyboard with a hardware switch to go between dvorak and qwerty.

You mention not being able to share a browser which makes me think of the times where it would have been convenient to look something up for a moment while my pair experimented (two pronged problem solving approach... :).

Also, what kind of pairing patterns do you use in this setup? Ping Pong TDD, driver/navigator, etc... ?
Feel free to ask any questions you have below!
This isn't social in the same sense as their past failures were though. Orkrut, Buzz, etc all relied on your friends also using those services. Crowd sourced coupons don't have this holding them up.
I know OkCupid got bought by Match.com, but by totally omitting any mention of OKC it's hard for me to see this article as anything other than marketing/PR dreck. The guy seems pretty breathless about How About We, but doesn't even mention OkCupid? If anyone disrupted the online dating service market it was them... for years.

Then I see the author is something called the "chief advocate" at a company who offers "entrepreneur advocacy" services. I'm not 100% sure what that is but I'm pretty confident it's just a marketing and/or PR firm that pitches itself to startups. Nothing bad about that per se, but let's keep pg's "Submarine" article in mind here.

http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html

If startups are paying for this kind of work, then it tells me the "PR & marketing services for startups" is the REAL industry that is ripe for disruption.
This may be partly due to the infamous "dubplate culture" intrinsic to the Drum n' Bass scene, and later the Dubstep scene. Back in the late 90s it wasn't uncommon for certain gigantic tracks to exist as exclusive dubplates given to only top-name DJs for a couple of years before their eventual release... tracks like Bad Company's "The Nine" being a prime example (Prototype was a label notorious for this kind of hype-building tactic).

These days, the tools and techniques of DJing have been largely demystified, so DJs and producers trade in a currency of unreleased tracks, otherwise there's precious little to differentiate their sets from those played by any number of technically qualified local DJs.
You weren't :)

I took two night classes- the first was 10-week course on an introduction to python (which used exactly that book) and the second 10-week course was on internet programming. We learned other stuff in that class (REST, CherryPy, HTML protocol) but I spent most of the time going through the django tutorials & docs. djangobook.com provides a good alternative source for django documentation.
And then after 5 months of study, I was hired as a python/django web dev. But I got lucky and I was serious during that time.

Even if you beat libvpx in speed and/or quality, libvpx will probably be "good enough" for most people.

Unlikely: a large percentage of the applications that license x264 are live-streaming apps of some sort (videoconferencing, broadcast, app streaming, etc) -- being slow is a deal-killer for these.

But you are right that this does change things somewhat -- though I actually haven't thought too much about that.

5. They are using code that they have not yet publicly released.

Likely false. According to my info so far, the tests were done using a daily autobuild from their own system (which, IIRC, builds from git).

7. They measure PSNR using a different tool, and the two tools have different measurements for some reason (I don't have enough expertise in this space to know if this is actually a possibility or not).

There are two ways to measure PSNR: Overall/Global and Average. Both showed similar results here though, so that's unlikely to be the issues.

6. They made an honest mistake.

Could be. If so, I hope they fix it. I toned down the original post, and in light of your comments, I've delayed making a blog post on the topic for at least a few days until I know exactly what's going on. Thanks for the advice.
Even worse, SV is located in a country that is not better than Saudi Arabia when we talk about extra-judicial killings (just think about Obama-era drone killings)
It isn't true that a reader lives a thousand lives, either, they live one life, and it includes reading, but you weren't nitpicking over that distinction.
Facebook’s attempts to legally challenge Apples UX changes seem fruitless, but they would definitely have a case against Google if they tried to pull this to benefit their ad network and data collection efforts over Facebook’s.
One charitable way to view Rust's philosophy is that it's better to catch bugs at the compile stage than at the execution stage.

In theory yes. In practice, getting to the execution stage was such a slog that it rarely happened.

Would have liked it a lot better if the borrow checker had the option to be -Wall instead of -Werror.
I must say, I really love this one from Lundgren: "The memory of you is all that's left of you when you die, so I'd like to be remembered as a generous, loving human being when my time comes."
priceless read :)

I take it as a sign of intelligent life in an otherwise web dominated world.
30 - For Linux users, learn how to use ip (and the tools included in iproute2) instead of using ifconfig, which is part of net-tools, they are deprecated.

A good resource for that: http://andys.org.uk/bits/2010/02/24/iproute2-life-after-ifco...

45 - Use LVM always if it's possible.
I see no reason to reward a mugger just because they're efficiently taking the money out of my wallet. Yes, they might get me on my way minutes faster than the less-professional muggers out there, but I still don't like the process or end result.
This graph is a joke: https://d1qmdf3vop2l07.cloudfront.net/optimizely-marketer-as...

And any company trying to sell a statistical tool/package that would actually create a graph like that is selling snake oil. Your model only gets better, digitally, and never sees a regression? And you're using this for web analytics?
Ive found that there are days when I can’t do more than 2 hours without struggling, and some days where 10 hours go by without too much effort. Like you, I probably average 4 hours a day, but I don’t want to artificially limit it if I’m in a groove.

At my old team - in a fairly well known non-Faang software company - we planned sprints assuming 4 productive hours a day, so the 4 hour figure is probably not too extraordinary.
In 2003 a racial discrimination law favored one group, your premise was about 2021. In the last 18 years (oh wow people born then can vote now!) race-based discrimination statutes are routinely enforced for all groups, including in favor of the majority group when they have been discriminated against by race by a potential or current employer.

Take a quick browse at the EOCC enforcement actions, or California's DFEH, and other agencies and other court cases.
I can't help but think that there is active effort to halt our understanding of nutrition. I mean, if we still can't say at least that saturated fat is causally related to heart disease, then this whole field is in a very bad place. My hypothesis though, is that this finding has already been established but people keep coming back to this subject to try to adjust it to their lifestyle choices.
> The intuition is that for datasets commonly and frequently joined on a known key, e.g., user events with user metadata on a user ID, we can write them in bucket files with records bucketed and sorted by that key.

Index organized tables in Oracle, clustered tables in Mssql. "Intuition" in modern big data world :)
You don't have to buy the hard drive that is being advertised to you. At the end of the day, it's your decision. If ads were not targeted, you'd see a milk shake ad instead. How's that better?

Edit: my milk shaker example is not even that great. If targeting was killed, you'd most likely see ads from massive corporations only - those who have a lot of cash to spend on ads. Little players (small business owners, startup owners) would have zero chance to compete against those corporations. They'd lose every single ad auction.
Tracking should be considered creepy, just imagine if a single person would collect all this data of you. There should be some limitations of what can be advertised on.
Do you ever think that about the white guy?
Growth by any means necessary.. seems like there are a tens of thousands of apps that each act like their own data bureau, totalling dossiers on billions of people, just because it makes money. Maybe a few percentage points' value lost as a slap on the wrist every now and then. I feel, that in this scenario, rather than a better carrot, we need a better stick..
i am no specialist but the way the ego works maybe you are making a very high idealized version of you that when compared with the real persona you find a big hiatus between what you perceive you are and the one you want to become. maybe you should relax a little such high standards for a more down-to-earth person, frequently people less exigent are just happiest. i call this the john wayne syndrome because we are trying to be the hero of our own life whereas we are just regular folks. also seek if there are repressed feelings you avoid that are inducing self-abusive behavior
Thanks to the countless folks that built a customer focused bank. It's really sad to see Simple wind down, and it's been the best bank I've had the chance to use. Their service has been unmatched compared even to the best local banks in my area. I've been a customer for nearly a decade now - wow. Early on I exchanged emails with Josh and the team not just regarding banking matters, but reporting bugs, design issues, or giving feedback. They were always receptive and I appreciated that they took the time to respond to my messages.

They had downtime once and credited my account $50. Simple, I know, but it was a gesture that really set them apart and humanized the company.

Thank you for starting Simple. Thank you Josh and the rest of the team at Simple: Shamir, Ian C., Brian M1, Toby, Adam, Rachel, Tom, Dustin, Zac, John, Ryan H., Melissa, Ian E., James, Liene, Collin, Matt S., Daron, Cameron, Eric, Jarred, Chris B., Shane, Dan H., Dan D., Robyn, Ryan D., Will M., Brian M2, Michael M., Chelsea, Kelly, Tristan, Will C., Justin, Steven, Matt W., Chris S., Charlie, Mimi, Orlena, Michael E., Krista, Bar, Jen, Matt H., Jake, Matt M.

PS: Startup marketing tip - Add a call to action at the bottom of your email newsletter that reminds your customers to share their experience with their friends and colleagues. Here was Simple's:

> PS - We often have people ask how they can help us continue to grow. Firstly, you're awesome, thanks for asking! Secondly, Its easy–just tell your friends! In fact, you can even send referrals directly from our mobile apps.
People with no education?
You're getting 0.3% APY, which is pretty useless. I would instead try some of the banks that promise you higher APY rn. There are some offering 2-3%
If it was a retail copy of W95 with both the 3.5" disks and a CD-ROM, it also included a little receipt you could mail in to Microsoft so you could swap your 3.5" disks for 1.2 MB 5.25" ones. Just in case you were insane enough to try and install it on a machine only with 5.25" drives.
While there are a lot of options, I'd guess you'd really like JED.

I'm serious, give it a spin, it's underrated.
Sure, but are you going to shut down a lab in China? I'm not. Essentially any discussion of this topic in English is a waste of time unless we're going to shut down the US CDC.

(Which I've lived next to most of my life and never got sick, so it seems fine.)
It was the name of a British TV show, so I imagine that makes the connotation Stronger over there.
So bots exist or no?

Honestly in that rare instance sheds you need to chat with an Intercom website, would much rather do it in WhatsAppWeb or via cell
or you could, you know, just hug your daughter?
You have almost 80 million people thinking those people are correct. This is not a coup, this is a brink of civil war.

And that's healthy, I believe opposing sides should have a go at it.
I did a lot of development with Java in those days and virtually every Java package that mattered was a library, not a framework, and if anything the reason everything was so complex was because it was so configurable and pluggable, making it easy to use that with this and a little of something else without having to decide on a "framework".
going both ways on the X-axis.
They don't make their own laptops (yet, it is in the plan but probably not for 10 years), they buy enough laptops to have input on how they are designed, but in the end they don't get everything they want.

Edit: 10 years is my guess. There are hints they might make their own laptops sooner. Time will tell.
I'm not sure many people would be keen on deploying their entire cloud on Facebook either. Forget about privacy concerns and all that, it just doesn't make sense when they have the 'move fast and break things' philosophy.

The last thing you want in high availability cloud infra is a team of engineers who will sacrifice stability for innovation.

Even if they did do it, there's not a chance they could launch it under 'Facebook'.
If the companies are clearly creditworthy how come no one wants to lend them any money? It appears that whoever has the money doesn't think these companies are clearly creditworthy.
It is.
For some of the partners, they do provide a cloud solution and at much reduced price compared to AWS.

ps: i think it will be public cloud someday
Some other factors:

1. Wealth: despite long term economic malaise, Japan is still one of the richest countries. Rich people tend to have fewer children. Japan's GINI coefficient is also a lot lower compared to, say, the US, which means the wealth is spread around a lot more. That means that a comparatively greater proportion have a high log-wealth than in the US, and would thus be less inclined to have kids.

2. Lack of opportunity for moms: day care is expensive (no immigrants to do it) and in short supply. If you can't get into daycare, you basically have no choice but to stop working. A lot of women don't see this as being worth the sacrifice. Here is a recent Planet Money article on this: http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2013/07/19/203372076/will-rob...
