Having a bad math day? A square gives the best number of pixels per diagonal inch. The farther you get from a square (aka the wider the screen), the less pixels you get, even if the diagonal length stays the same. You can advertise a 22 inch monitor but if it's only 1 inch tall then it's worthless.
That wouldn't have happened yet. In my head, I have a loose projection of when I figure it would, it's something like 2013-2015

In any case, I'm not saying it's fact, just loose speculation
that's funny, because it seems to me like the entirety of white males have some sort of superiority complex.
Yes, but our brain likes to wait for something to complete, especially if it takes less than 3 seconds.
Here's an answer:

Apparently the random stocks outperform the "pros" picks after 6 months (the pros have the edge in the short term)

Actual quote from the study: "Results suggest that the pros
selection statistically outperforms the random selection only in the one-week period. Over a six-month
holding period, the random stocks perform better than the pros recommendations."
Did you try not pressing space?
Could you provide any counterexample? What you call sensationalist I would call almost tautological: those who want to find a way to live forever reject natural order of life and all of its metaphysics.
Matthew's blog is great, I've been subscribed to it for years.
Sure, the article only briefly mentioned it, but it's in the picture at the top. I went down a rabbit hole with some links I found at the bottom :)

It debuted at last years Pike's Peak race, It's quickly turned into one of the best electric race cars in the world. It broke the overall record at Pikes Peak, and is the only car the ever reach the top in under 8 minutes. It also recenly set the electric record on the Nürburgring.

Competitive gaming is a particularly good example of this. I followed most of the rise of Dota from trashy Warcraft 3 mod to Valve's multi-million-dollar-prize-pool juggernaut.

The first few crops of Dota millionaires all had the same backstory: "I played this game 14 hours a day. If there were tournaments at all they didn't really pay anything. My parents said I was wasting my life. I never had a girlfriend. Everyone thought I was a loser, but I just wanted to play and win... and now I know it was all worth it."

And the thing that I couldn't help thinking is: was it? I'm not sure that any rational person would make that decision. Even if you could somehow know that competitive gaming would get big enough, and that your particular game would be popular enough, and that you could become good enough to win – that's just table stakes. You then have to actually play the game obsessively for a decade. There are, frankly, far more comfortable ways to earn a million dollars in exchange for 20,000 to 50,000 hours of your life.

It's kind of hard to take a coherent message away from that. Should you become a competitive gamer for the millions? Certainly not then, and definitely not now. Should you hope that your fringe interest (bus tickets, say) becomes a million-dollar enterprise? No, that's probably even less likely.

Perhaps the message is just that millions are delivered to those with a combination of luck and the freedom to pursue rationally unjustifiable interests. A combination that is increasingly rare in an economic system designed to squeeze out the inefficient. Lest we forget the Bell monopoly; we may never see such inefficiency again.
Corporations are actually pretty fucking new in the scheme of things.

> By default, code density on RISC-V is pretty bad.

Code density with the C extension is competitive with x86, which is very good for a RISC. And the C extension is not even that hard on the decoder, since most or even all 'compressed' instructions have a single uncompressed counterpart. It's easier to implement than what ARM32 does with Thumb.

> One way to do better is to fuse together ISA-level instructions into a smaller number of more complex instructions that get executed in your core.

Insn fusion has in fact been endorsed by the designers of RISC-V as an expected approach in high-end designs. The RISC-V spec even gives "suggested" sequences for things like overflow checking, that can be transparently insn-fused if an implementation supports it.
I noticed that:

- The CPI has doubled in the last 30 years; your link doesn't mention constant dollars that I noticed.

- The line chart ends in 2011.

- The sources of fees according to the chart in your link are very concentrated in almonds, which suggests they would be heavily impacted by the ups and downs of that industry.

So, I'm not saying your assertion is false, but the most I can say about the link is that it doesn't contradict you.

add to this their packaging fabrication (often in plastics), what it takes later to recycle them, their storage, all the logistics (IT, ..)
From my experiences in the life sciences going through the academic credentialing process (PhD to postdoc), there was room for the unusual but the way it worked was a little convoluted. Basically the grant funding agencies give you money for a project that they can understand and follow your logic on why it will succeed. Then when they fund you, you cut back on the resources required to get to that success and spend the savings on new ideas. The fun part about the "new idea" spending is you can look at most anything that your instrumentation can look for. The idea being all the tools in your lab, your departments lab, even collaborating institutions are available to play around with and probe. You can even build new instrumentation to look at new things with that money. This is how modern life science pushes ahead.
yes, this even happens now (very infrequently)
Could you give a source on that MK statement? It's the first I've heard of it.
Then that's another problem they have to solve.
I also deal with this while keeping my resume updated and tweaked. I have an HTML, PDF, and MS Word format. I use a print CSS sytle sheet on my homepage (http://ronnie.me) so that I can print it to PDF for the PDF version and manually create the Word version. Very tedious.
Also the money they spend on their website (may be they dont need to spend that much) does not allow them to work with people who are good at whet they are doing .

Has anyone had luck getting this working on a CDMA iPhone? I get the error "Couldn't load consolidated.db file from '/Users/dhollist/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup'" even though the file IS there when using the manual method outlined here: http://petewarden.github.com/iPhoneTracker/#2

I believe the issue is that the location data is stored in the CdmaCellLocation table, as opposed to the CellLocation table used in GSM iPhones.
Oh, there's also power dynamics at play. In practice most companies are run for the benefit of top management, not shareholders.

Some economist did a rather macabre study of share prices of companies as their CEO's died in various accidents. (Ie removal of the CEO controlled by factors outside corporate politics.)

I think you're just too used to the kool-aid. From an engineering perspective, curvy cars are a disgusting PIA. There's no way to work on them without special tools, every dent is a big deal... they're like long fake painted nails: a total hinderance to work.

This car looks like I could beat the fuck out of it and the fix it with a sheet of metal and either a welder, some bolts, or some rivets. I see beauty in adaptability, which is something modern cars have none of.

I found structural discussions took place in the free form areas of mondrian, and knit-picking was a direct result of two aspects:
1) An strict, but oft changed style guideline
2) The requirement to say something beyond LGTM to prove that the code review was thorough.

The one aspect I missed at Google compared to other large software companies was design document reviews. I found that in writing and disseminating such documents a lot of good work was done.
One possible issue with this is that in terms of page size/layout, iPad and other tablets are probably more likely to fall into the 'desktop' category.

Well, they don't. "Slave" comes from the Old Church Slavonic word for Slavs, "Sloveninu," which is probably from the word "slovo," meaning speech, while "share" ultimately comes from the Proto Indo-European root "skar-," meaning to cut.

that's not really the cost of the terrorism, though. that's the cost of the cowardly, panicked response. other countries have responded to terrorism with more dignity and poise, and it's cost them less money.
This then seems like less of a test of math ability and more of a test of whether or not you have effectively absorbed the jargon and conventions around certain math concepts. Maybe that's what they want, but it doesn't really seem like problem solving at all.

Faced with those kind of problems with poles, can't they dig?
About your first point : yes, go has exceptions, the so-called panics, but they are here for truly exceptional situations, those you can't recover for, mainly bugs from the programmer (nil dereference, out-of-bound access, bad dynamic cast, etc.) or, in theory, when the system gets in an unstable state (no memory left, hardware failure, etc.). But they really are the exception (sic), that's why I didn't mention them. Let's be honest : almost nobody ever deals with these errors anyway, and that's not the kind of things people think about when they talk about dealing with errors via an exception mechanism.

I really think (and it looks like we strongly disagree on this point) it's one of Go's virtues to really distinguish between what's part of the problem you're trying to solve and what can be considered as defaults from the computer (as a whole, i.e. both software and hardware). You shouldn't have to deal with these very different problems the same way.

As for your comment about the practice being to ignore errors in Go, I have to believe your words I guess (maybe I should have a look at these horrors you're talking about). This is clearly not the way I work but that's a serious fault from developers if they do. And, of course, that will lead to very serious bugs since an ignored error code is much more damageful than an uncaught exception. Sure, empty try-catch blocks are found in java too, but they tend to disappear.
I fasted once for three days in university. Only water. Bumped into a friend who raved about it and so I tried it out. It was a faith thing.

First day was not bad.

Second day was horrible. That day just happened to be the day when all these university student associations decided to put on a whole bunch of events that had food. The First Nations Student Association served roasted corn, salmon, and bannock. Another club had pizza. An info session for overseas exchange studies had sushi, cookies, veg and dip, and so on. On it went. It sucked. My friend had allowed himself one cup of fruit juice during his three days, so I allowed myself one cup at the exchange info session. Dang, I needed a lot of willpower that day.

Third day was fine, it felt like I was actually starting to adjust to lack of food. But knew eventually I had to eat so fourth day I ate.

I try it every now and then. Honestly, if I can get over the hump of those big hunger pangs, it gets easier. Part of it may be because I eat too much in general though. Hehe.
What millennia of anecdotal evidence? I've heard claims like that before, but never seen the source of any of these claims. Really? In the past it was common not to eat, voluntarily? That seems hard to believe with how central food is to every culture I've ever been exposed to. In fact you are seen as odd if you choose NOT to partake when others are.

If this is common knowledge to you it is certainly not for me, which is why I do want to see the results of studies like this that have been replicated.

My entire historical perspective on fasting is from religious/spiritual perspective which don't mention anything about health benefits.
That is a recurring trait in infosec circles. A kind of black and white thinking that can easily slip over into paranoia. Something they seem to share with military planners etc.
That comes off as a hand wave, especially considering that it's a model / typology (if you understand the role of a model vs. a theory) and is still used in research. See also Dr. Dario Nardi's neuroscience work at UCLA.
I don't get that response at all. The rant was obviously written in frustration, I wonder why it touched such a nerve at Adobe. If that's the classed up version for a corporate blog, how did they really feel?

Maybe I've had ego about products beaten out of me by tough internal code reviews of every line I've ever written, but I'm not afraid to admit to the parts of our product that suck, or shipped "good enough." The psd format hardly seems like a thing worth defending. And it's basically an admission the rant is right that attempts to soften it with some excuses.
It depends on the program you are trying to develop. If you are trying to develop a typical business application 10 good developers could probably accomplish as much or more than John Carmack. But if you are trying to develop a game, even 1000 good programmers could not together accomplish what John Carmack could accomplish single handedly.
Sure, conversations. But honestly I feel like saving everything just generates more noise and makes it difficult to find the signal.
I wasn’t trying to offend you. Everyone lives in a bubble or several.

My timeline consists mainly of 80% American minorities and 20% graduates from elite US universities (with some overlap between the two groups obviously). What about yours? No one on my timeline was surprised. And if they were, they were privileged white people (no offense just being honest when talking about Harvard/MIT grads).

These insurrectionists complained all year about wearing masks. Some of them even shot retail workers because they were so upset. How could you not see this coming?

It’s sort of hard for me to tell based on your comments. Do you live in the U.S. and where about? I could see how one would be surprised if they lived abroad and only used mainstream social media to gauge what’s going on.

But if you’ve lived in the U.S. and read any of the think pieces in mainstream newspapers or even popular Medium articles over the last 4 years, you would have likely learned about the surge in domestic terrorism committed by white supremacists. There were so many articles, especially this past year in the summer. How could you not have read any of them?

Well, I do know that those sort of articles get downvoted on HN and don’t surface to the top. I’m not sure why articles with titles like “FBI confirms a surge in domestic terrorism” aren’t important to HN. (That was sarcasm.)

I literally had a conversation with dang@ the other day about this, and he didn’t believe me.
There's no playing a little footsie with anti-democratic ideas and rhetoric and just getting 'a little' anti-democratic.

My favorite Friedman-ism is this one:
"I had lunch with a group of professors at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, or HKUST, who told me that this year they will be offering some 50 full scholarships for graduate students in science and technology. Major U.S. universities are sharply cutting back."

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/13/opinion/13friedman.html

50 graduate scholarships is roughly the equivalent of a smaller department at a US research university.

I've had phones stolen enough that I'd say "yes, too accessible" - your mileage may vary.

Timestamped travel information generally equates to "hey, this guy returns home between 7 and 8:30 most nights, works in the office five days a week, and here's where his home is". It's no great stretch to equate that to "he will not be home during this time frame" and suddenly a lost phone turns into a much larger burglary.

There's also plenty of larger privacy concerns, but even just the out-and-out-crook scenarios should be concerning enough.
If we accumulate $100 worth of Tarsnap account credits, can we exchange them for real money?

Yes. If you ask nicely I'll write you a cheque for less than $100, for that matter -- it's really just that I don't want to end up mailing lots of $1 cheques around.

Great work and great documentation - as usual from Xiph. CELT looks like a big step forward for real time internet audio. Sub-10ms latency is very impressive even if the quality is somewhat compromised - for many purposes it will be sufficient, and where it's not, lossless recordings can be transferred later.

The only thing that I wish they would change is the name 'Ogg' for their container format. It sounds like a character in a bad children's movie and I always feel slightly embarrassed introducing it into conversation.
The main advantage of my config format is that it takes a css-selector-style approach to determining the final configuration. This makes it much easier to create config file with complicated conditions and to understand it.
This is a good article, but it goes a bit too far. The concept of a sales driven side project is a good one, but it's an attribute of a side project, not a requirement.

The value of this post is that it should bring into focus the two types of side projects: those that are sales driven, and those that are not. Both have their place when growing a company!
