Because my title includes the word "Engineering Manager", which means if I code people will think I'm a shitty manager who should be an IC. So instead I'm required to write a bunch of docs and attend meetings, and explain ideas to smart developers who don't quite get it the first few times... but once in a while I'll crank out a demo to show the team the way, quietly fearing my career advancement opportunities diminish if my own leadership finds out :-)

Only slightly exaggerating. Still, it's no fun being stuck between loving to code and building virtual machines with my own hands, and loving to lead teams and drive projects and see the amplified output of a group working together.
I'm fighting with the tools.
The word is "idolatry"
> they went cap in hand begging to England for more money.

You have no evidence of this, the link you posted earlier was a bailout of RBS. You'll have to do better than that.

EDIT incidentally, if the jobs were lured from Britain why did they ultimately go to Poland?

Nice article. It well expresses the delight that comes from seeing the expressiveness of just a handful of tools that fit well together.
Excellent point about the moment arm and control issues! I'm definitely all about maximizing power-weight and strength-weight ratios...

I am wondering about the ratios you are achieving, and about the issues of scale.

Do things get better as you scale up? I notice you mentioning the state-of-the-art at 3-4 kW/kg, and you shooting for 12 kW/kg.

This is even substantially better than small scal T-motor UAV motors at around 7w/g [1]. The chart shows them peaking at 3181W and weighing 453g.

So, I'm wondering what scale factors may be working in your favor at your scale vs the single-digit kW scale.

Also, any plans to scale slightly smaller (I'm involved in such a project)?

Do you happen to have a link with more info on how such a clause would look like? That sounds really interesting.
Maybe, but evangelization is a significant source of market share. That's what led to FF eclipsing IE back in the browser dark ages.

*response to stealth edit:

I listed 13 separate problems with Mozilla, I'd thank you to respond to what I actually wrote, not a caricature you cooked up.
It can actually be rather cheap (as far as lawyers go). Mine cost about $2k per TM which includes USPTO fees.

It will depend on prior art, how close you are to others, how large the search needs to be, how many classes you are applying for.
Those are all valid points. None of them are deal-breakers for me personally, but I understand how they can be.

I wish I could like the M1. I'm honestly really looking forward to ARM and RISC machines becoming more common, as long as there are manufacturers who make them at least somewhat reparable.
Not OP, but I'll post what I've found:

I'm at 1.32TB on my almost 1 month old MBA (8GB RAM/512GB DISK).
How long has it been since Google had a notable successful acquisition? I'm asking because I can't think of anything recent.
He recalled going through one training session after another in race and intersectionality at Smith. He said it left workers cynical. “I don’t know if I believe in white privilege,” he said. “I believe in money privilege.”
Thanks, I'll have a look. If it appears as though it's not worth the effort to maintain my own video infra, you're the first choice.
What is a significant percentage? And how much influence does Facebook and Reddit have on voting?
That's a fair point, NOAA might have a use for it, I don't know.

However, selling data to Google still seems like a bad idea. Things that are off mission and the point is to make money are just a distraction with no good purpose that's going to make the post office be greedy instead of just focusing on delivering the mail.

I could maybe agree that there was some value in having a public set of streetview like images (which is the more likely thing they'd do, not sell it to Google or whomever which would just be terrible), but it also seems deeply creepy. Then again, Google is already doing it so I suppose there's an argument that at least this way it's public domain.
Gamers would have bought the cards if they had better bots.

I'm thankful for all the genius programmers out there who have decided to contribute their time and expertise towards free and open source programs that allow me to do what I do.

Yes, that seems like an important problem, but one separate to what they're describing in OP's article. (Again, assuming I'm understanding this right.) Their constrained RL approach is still relying on our ability to enumerate and assign costs to the undesirable behaviors, right? From reading the article, I get the impression that they are focused on addressing that scenario, and leaving the problem of how to enumerate all undesirable behaviors to separate research.
Unless you're worried about getting shot at while you're in your car or a random brick flying through the windshield then you don't need this.

I heard that Tesla is bypassing that on the Roadster with removable side mirrors which you can install cameras there instead. Not sure on the specifics, but something along those lines (although I'm not sure about the legality and please don't quote me on this).

I think Homer's Odyssey is ancient enough.
In the U.S. a court would probably ignore the formality of the transactions you describe and simply look at the outcome. The outcome is that the reviewer has ended up with the property at no out-of-pocket cost, and would thus be considered income.

I'm thankful that my oldest son discovered programming (and HN, and other useful online communities) after being a math-avid little boy. The math background still comes in handy, but he enjoys computer science even more than math.

I also recall a case where someone just removed one or two directories from a path and found an unprotected virtual listing but they said it was unauthorized because he had been sent a 403 at some point.
Iceland may be a sovereign nation, but it has no armed forces. It's fair to say that its defense consists of its alliance with NATO, i.e., with the U.S., which implies that if the U.S. says "jump!", Iceland will ask "how high?". Considering that the U.S. government is owned by interest groups, I don't see how Iceland can become a data-haven.

Perhaps this is another anomaly that Americans have to put up with from their carriers — not being one I wouldn't know.
The guy surely learned a lot building this, but...

No comparison to jQuery or YUI 3. The documentation suggests jo has a lot of catching up to do.

> If you're using jo to create all the UI for your application, you won't need any content or tags in your index.html file.

Apparently completely ignorant of progressive enhancement: deliver the markup and CSS and then enhance with JavaScript.

> Often, important information that needs to be documented just doesn't fit into a neat, tidy spot.

This is nonsense: you put it in the overall description of the class. But based on this nonsense, jo invents its own, based on markdown. So you get a plain HTML page for each class instead of something similar to javadoc.
Smartphones yes (though many smartphone users don't have much choice as to browser, or at least rendering engine), but netbooks are an arguable case.

I was referring more to people making their desktop browser choices based on benchmarks which have minimal, if any, effect on their day-to-day browsing. It seems like after every new browser release we get bombarded with "X desktop browser runs the SunSpider test faster than Y!" headlines, as if it's something that actually impacts people's browser choices.
Yes, but this is not a dramatic new concept, it's a minor improvement in implementation because of decreased engineering costs and simply time.

This is nothing more than an elevated rail system and using a linear braking system to accelerate the stationary vehicle. Beyond that, we're talking simply precision and as the concept has yet to be implemented, the Chinese are no way more advanced with the concept than 50 years ago.

For all intent this is a worse design than having a tandem acceleration system in the trains and allowing the slip-car to simply accelerate itself to rejoin the express. You wouldn't even have to redesign your fleet, you'd only have to implement it in the slip-cars initially for the concept to work.
I'm quite sure you are wrong.

You can use a fiberglass, or aluminum stretcher.
Why do you think it will change? Whilst Clojure has very support for interfacing with native Java libraries, they are fundamentally two very different languages.

The number of "green-field" projects are an indication that a web framework built for a dynamically typed, functional lisp, has a very different structure to one built for a statically typed object-orientated language like Java. If anything, I see Clojure web development relying less on native Java libs in future, not more.
I wonder when some tiny country will decide to just turn their entire top-level national TLD into a url shortener.

I apologize, I should clarify my point.

They're not magnetic enough to pull a chair off the floor or things across the room (as the story indicates) when they are not in operation.
You can walk around the room with your watch on (for example), but if they fire it up and you're in there with it, it's destroyed.

Just look how close they have to get the steel oxygen bottle to the center (in the video linked above) before it moves. It's almost inside it already.
> I find it hard to believe that such a person would willingly go inside a Burger King in the first place.

You may well fid it hard to be believe, but vegans actually have meat eating friends and may be accepting of other people's dietary choices, and may want to socialise with them - without putting meat products in their mouths.
Could someone explain to me why matter falling into a black hole might imply that information would be annihilated?

It seems to me that the information is still present, though no longer accessible from outside the black hole. That doesn’t seem at odds with the preservation of information in any way.
Thanks for the clarifier.

So the text I quoted should say something like [with appropriate expansion and fact checking]:

"Requests from other countries to Baidu's CDN in China are intercepted by the government firewall - the returned web pages load content from GitHub or NYT that is hidden from the user. Each affected Baidu user outside China's browser sends content requests to those content suppliers whenever they follow a link in Baidu's search results. With Baidu's immense popularity this is causing a DDoS of the content suppliers servers preventing genuine user's browser requests from being handled."

What's the actual injected code? Presumably one can get it by requesting a link on a Baidu SERP?

Is there software out there that will lock your session when a new USB device is detected? Maybe it wouldn't have changed much for Ulbricht but I would like to use something like that. If someone tried to copy files to their own drive while I was distracted then they would unwittingly lock themselves out.
I have feeling that "16 big things that VC will fund" is different that "16 big things companies/people/users will pay for".

The Go and Haskell language communities have been pushing those definitions. For the most part they seem to be winning as those definitions are trotted out every time the subject comes up.

The observation that the author made about the philosophical development of the idea of nothingness (shunyata) leading to the development of the zero (shunya) is very key. You can't have the latter without the former.

In Indic thought, it is common to talk about a set of items and then the null set - 1 pen, 2 pens, 3 pens and then no-pens or the absence of pens. This notion of the absence of something can be roughly translated as shunyata. Symbolically and cardinally that idea got translated to zero.
We can't really say that any individual point in time is "the" bottom, but it's obvious just looking at pricing data that we are at "a" bottom. The S&P 500 is down where it was about 3 years ago, and the Dow is similarly situated. If you buy primarily indices, this drop is a bit like time travelling 3 years in the past to buy. And, it's hard to argue that that's not a better deal than buying, say, in December.
I had forgotten about the change in connecting 290 to 90. I was thinking that it was the same as when I moved into my current house north of Worcester over 20 years ago but I was have forgotten. I probably never took that route enough for the old connection to register as much of an inconvenience.

Wait, ignoring firmware... you need to have some charge in order to charge with USB-C? Couldn't it use the lowest power modes until it has enough juice to communicate? This seems like a serious flaw with USB PD.
Might be wrong here, but if this is to work, will it work across different compilation units? E.g. what if there is a "rogue" version that matches some literal - in way it'll serve as AOP (aspect oriented programming), but it'll be more like monkey patching. It may be useful, but spooky. (Very basic rust/haskell knowledge, just familiar with the core concepts).
Love the idea!! I see a use case even as an individual consumer - when I am watching something live (News, SuperBowl), I would rather watch something interesting than watch the stupid ads.

Wondering if there are any legal issues around this (can cable networks go after this saying it's their content)?
What is being played on my TV is entirely up to me but then this argument breaks down in some cases (e.g. car odometer - I can't replace the reading). Might be worth nailing down.
EU approved the vaccines over a month later IIRC, and Germany and France won't use the easy to distribute vaccine (astraveneca) in over 65s, the major target group.

So I'm not sure it's only a supply issue.
LeBonCoin became annoying since they put contact details behind a login wall. What made it successful back in the day is the simplicity - just post an ad and have interested people call you. Search for something and you can directly call sellers.
> But drop me in India and I'm suddenly a crazy feminist ranting against rape culture (FYI India has one, the US doesn't).

So none of those men in US jails and prisons are being raped?

You should enjoy another country without imposing your values on them, it is OK for you to like or love your way of life, you are absolutely allowed to be proud, and so are they. What is not in good taste is assuming your way is always better, assuming they can't solve problems in time as your country has or assuming you or they are their country or responsible for where your/their country currently is economically. When it comes to human rights however, I'm on the same page as you I think, impose away.

I don't eat dogs, some cultures do. I eat beef, some cultures don't. Some eat pork, some don't. Are any of those really ethically wrong, or do we just have different cultures with different reference points? Isn't having different cultures and methods in the world a good thing? You can't always be right, and when you aren't, you might be glad there is another model that exists somewhere in the world. A cultural hedge, if you will.

I look forward to the rise of India in the future, I am sure in time, we will be stealing ideas from there, but perhaps I'm just being naive.
A number of reasons thats wouldn’t help anything:

1) there’s going to be a ton of point of care tests, in fact there already are. The bottleneck is FDA approval.

2) scaling up manufacturing of a device like this is HARD. It’s not some raspberry pi hobby kit.

This company is owned by Danaher, a fortune 200 or so which has many engineers and manufacturing sites. They’ll figure out a way to make as many as are needed.
Bad example is bad example. Programmers are awful for using algebraic symbols to describe non-algebraic semantics. Algebra is already its own language; a lingua franca of math. If you’re abusing it for a different purpose then you’re doing both of them wrong.

Otherwise, article is basically arguing we should drag everyone down to the lowest-common denominator “to be safe”, rather than allowing individuals and groups to raise themselves up as appropriate in order to tackle their given problems more effectively.

That’s group-think, authoritarianism, and reducing expert knowledge workers to anonymous plug-n-play “human resources”. What’s the software equivalent to “Churnalism”? Because that’s how you get the software equivalent to “Churnalism”.

Now, if you want to talk about the criticality of Human Communications, and how utterly atrocious many programmers are at it, even amongst their own (never mind with “outsider” stakeholders like users and management), then I’m all on board with that discussion. Good and bad use of abstraction (trade jargon), effective knowledge “transfer” (really reconstruction), and successful team collaboration (especially heterogeneous teams, which are vital to solving the actual problem at hand). This is epically important stuff, and this profession has so much yet to learn.

But rationalizing away “this is how we’ve always done it so this is how we will always do it”? Don’t be surprised when the rest of the world treats you as cheap, easy, disposable code-monkeys, paying you peanuts and zero respect. That’s the deal you bought into yourselves, and you have no-one to blame but yourselves.

So, the problem is that the app itself can't run (reliably) in the background to respond to key-exchange requests?

It looks like iOS apps aren't allowed network connections when in the background[0]. So would another platform with fewer restrictions on background processes (e.g. Android?) be able to perform key-exchange while the app is backgrounded?

I find it hard to believe that, having looked at someone's entire life you can't think of anything to ask them if you met face-to-face. It kind of makes me worried that the book might be a bit superficial: you can have lots of facts about what he's done, but very little critical commentary or insight into his thought process, emotions, etc. What is it about Musk that made you want to write a whole book about him?
Please stop. Your comments here are glib, contemptuous and entirely unhelpful.
Not to challenge your point, that is only true of certain nuclear power plant designs. There are nuclear power plants that cannot melt down, or can be turned off like a switch. BWR limitations aren't true across the spectrum. :)
