Two things about this strike me as very strange:

- putting creativity and constraints in opposition, rather than seeing constraints at the heart of creativity. This is the ultimate justification for doing nothing, it says "I can't be creative, the authorities don't allow it!" Why not just simply take the risk, break the rule and do a U-turn? Oh, you might get in trouble? Sorry, but that's the nature of taking risks. Wishing for risk-free risks is a deeply conservative move.

- misunderstanding the nature of authority. Here, the authority is overt, it's clear that they are giving orders. A much more interesting authority is the hidden one which structures what you perceive as freedom vs. constraint. Continuing the metaphor, the opposition is between being able to make a u-turn vs. u-turns being forbidden, but the real anti-authoritarian question is who built the road and where is it going, regardless of which direction you drive?
You are absolutely right. It won't work in every situation, and I've offered advice many times for 50/50 splits. I don't think it's one size fits all. All I'm trying to say is that one should really consider all the options. If there is a real possibility you can get some traction on your own in that first 6 months, I think in many cases you should go for it.
Fucking Mission St.
>Accents are like learning a language -- if you want to rid yourself of an accent, you can.

No, that's false. People who learn a language past the age of ~13 never achieve native-like phonological competence. (I.e., they always have a "foreign accent", to some extent.)

It's also pretty absurd to suggest that people ought to invest large amounts of time attempting to switch from one English accent to another, just because some people are accent snobs.

>Look, I'm sorry that you're personally offended by my comment that I can't tell if her speech is due to an accent or a speech impediment, but that's your own problem

No need to apologize, I was just pointing out that it's offensive. You can then consider whether or not you want to cause needless offense when you make similar comments in future. Depending on who you choose to offend, it may or may not become your problem as well as their problem.
The odds of making a $17-50MM exit is higher than what? Turning a $1M/yr profit over 5 years? I think not. If the process was so "repeatable and the methods so trainable", the world would be flush with quick flip, sell-out millionaires. It is not. It is however full of people who became comfortably rich building up a profitable business.
This has nothing to do with warm or cold coverage and access. Gizmodo (probably) broke the law when it bought the prototype. Gizmodo were complete douchebags about Gray Powell (who's "outing" was completely unnecessary to the story). To top it all off, they tried to extort better access to Apple events in return for returning the prototype.

I'd pretty much decline requests for access to ANY news organization that did that.
The win here is because the thing it speeds up is hugely CPU-bound.

This will also make tiny MediaWiki installs just as much faster.

You can use the Either monad to figure out where the computation failed and give meaningful errors. Or the Writer monad, to add logging to the computation.

Being able to resume the computation is possible, due to referential transparency - if you're able to serialise the monad and persist it to a file, you should be able to resume any computation at an arbitrary point in time. The Cont monad might also help in this case, but I've never used it myself: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/mtl-2.0.1.0/docs/Control...

Also, you can use monads to keep track of state in a functional manner - take a look at the State and ST monads.

What I'm trying to say is that you've indeed identified some of the sore aspects of functional programming, but these problems are not inherent to the programming model - they're all solvable in theory, with enough time and effort. It's a different paradigm, so some wheels have to be reinvented or adapted to it.

I agree with your last paragraph: stateful user interfaces are fundamentally better for us humans. Indeed, I think that mixing both imperative and functional programming is the way to go - have a stateful/imperative "chassis" around your functional "engine" and get the benefits from both.

Basically, you can't. And this is precisely why open-source is so important for cryptography-, security- and privacy-related purposes.
I don't want to make excuses on behalf of Google and LG, but I wouldn't expect this kind of bug to be fixed in any phone, even a Nexus phone that's supposed to have up to date OS releases. Acoustic echo cancellation is subject to hardware limitations and firmware licensing decisions taken at the production planning stage. That puts it a step or three beyond simpler prioritization decisions.

So why didn't Google close this earlier? The media frameworks in Android have changed enough that, maybe, workarounds or fixes could have emerged as new media capabilities were added.

Google has lately gone on a tear of bug list clean-up. When you expose your bug list to end users you'll get a lot of questioning regarding why this or that bug can't be fixed. This one is particularly easy to defend.
The UK is replacing many of its roundabouts with traffic signals in order to control the flow where one route across the junction dominates traffic density.

What's "smart"? The company that puts its consumers on an upgrade treadmill and can force them to take unwanted changes at its whim. Not the poor souls who bought one and are now being herded and milked.

The less you let Big Tech insert itself into your life, the less control they will be able to exert, and the more freedom you will have.

As the saying goes: "smart devices[,] dumb users."
> really get the appeal of tiling window managers.

There might be "levels" of appeal and value... I too a few years ago moved to i3. The "tiling" nature is not where I got the most value from. I got it from have "multiple dedicated virtual workspaces(vdesktops)". With the ability to switch to them fast.

Example:

1) Terminal

2) Browser

3) Browser-2

4) Code (VStudio)

5) Code-2 (VStudio)

6) Files (File manager)

7) Gimp

8) Geany (Text Editor)

9) Empty

10)Empty

Just "knowing" how to "instantly" go from Code to a Browser or Text Editor has giving me A LOT of productivity. I'd say more so than any "tiling feature"
You make it sound as if life is a video game or something. He broke an arbitrary rule so he must pay the price. This isn't a game, ethics are always at play and we as the public have a duty to make sure our military is acting ethically.

It's not like the us military has had some unchanging set of rules. Throughout the last 50 years public ethics policy has vastly changed how the military functions and will continue to do so.

The armed forces may not be a democracy but they exist by the grace of our democracy.
That's great that you got something out of it, but I have to wonder why it took them until after you completed the task to figure out that you were "too fresh."
It is an odd mix, but I like that. High level formalisms with familiar
D&S 101 examples. Reminiscent of reading Knuth. It leans heavily
toward formalisms enabling proofs, but maybe skips philosophy of state
worth mentioning - state may not be enumerable. It can be implicit. It
can get duplicated with contradictory representations.
I need to do this, thanks for sharing.

I'm more productive at home, but when I'm online during "working hours" I feel guilty doing house work or side projects during that time, so when I have free time I end up doing the same time wasting stuff I used to do in the office, surfing, news, reddit etc.
It's absolutely not a dishonest benchmark. This backend comes bundled with V, it's what it uses by default. That's how you get the end result binaries when you use V.

To the end user it doesn't matter how the binary was generated. Via LLVM or via a bundled C compiler.

The only thing that matters: getting that binary after compilation and getting it fast.
Your immune system learns how to recognize a foreign antigen. The fact that your muscle cells' ribosomes are temporarily instructed to produce said antigenic proteins is immaterial to the fundamental mechanism of immunity. The mRNA stays in the cytoplasm and is not carried into the cell nucleus; it has no opportunity to affect the genome. The onus is on you here to present peer-reviewed evidence to the contrary.
I remember coming across the idea of crowdsourced shipping before; google around and you might get some more thoughts (e.g. http://www.cambrianhouse.com/idea/idea-promoter/ideas-id/8TI...)
$100mm valuation makes no sense to me, but might to another.
Make it 100% about music. Even with the tarnished name people still go their for music and I bet people would go back if it was more music focused.
I'm no expert, but Sony must be able to decrypt the card information in order to use it to process payments. So even if the card numbers were encrypted, it's possible hackers could obtain the passkey for decrypting the data, if it was also stored on a compromised server. (Generally speaking. I don't know what happened here.)
Well, I think the article is predicated on having a job one enjoys in a positive work environment with sympathetic and interesting coworkers. It doesn't seem to apply to you.
To the people who think that comment points should not be visible:

How do you go about choosing which books to read? Do you read all of them, are you exclusive to specific authors, or do you depend on your peers to make suggestions?
Hey, thanks for the link. I'll ask them if they have someone here in Toronto/Waterloo.
This comment struck me as strange:

“Sony is saying the credit cards were encrypted, but we are hearing that the hackers made it into the main database, which would have given them access to everything, including credit card numbers,” said Mathew Solnik, a security consultant with iSEC Partners who frequents hacker forums to track new hacks and vulnerabilities that could affect his clients."

I am by no means a security expert (let alone novice) - though I know what words like "salt" and "hash" mean - and this seems to my layman ears like a gross distortion of the threat. If their encryption was approached properly, Mr. Solnik's comment makes no sense at all; don't the crackers just have a huge database of gobbledygook (assuming Sony approached their encryption intelligently)?

This is not a rhetorical comment - I would be interested to hear from our resident HN security gurus on the actual threat to Sony customers.
> your comments here and elsewhere indicate that you are frequently toxic and hostile

I thought your comment was interesting and merited a reply for others to see and discuss. But I see you disagree so I've removed the content of my reply.

Feel free to flag any comments you find particularly toxic or hostile. You can do that by clicking on the timestamp of the comment and clicking the `flag` link.

Or even better, let me know (like you have done so here). I can't improve myself if I don't know there's a problem.
Not to mention that the whole fleet would be utterly useless against all the land based missile systems that would target them if it ever came to it.

I’m sure they can stop some of it but eventually they’ll just run out of supplies.

I think the only way to do something like that is by going all-in.
Oh, I was just piling on another comment that's a dig at the ever increasing footprint of SystemD. I'm not opposed to branding effort by any FOSS project, identity is important. This effort by SystemD is a "good thing" but, I'm not likely rep their kit
> The Vive/Index uses its camera to detect the motion of fixed markers (the lighthouses)

This is inaccurate.

The lighthouses scan the room with lasers. The dimples on the Vive and its controllers detect the very precise timings of getting hit by the lasers from the lighthouses and derive their location and orientation relative to the lighthouses.

This is how the Vive supports easily adding Vive tracker pucks to the room to add body tracking to games like VRChat. The lighthouses are passive and don't care that there are more devices to track, as each device tracks itself.

There's a good video explaining it at https://youtu.be/J54dotTt7k0
> As for the rest of your post, you seem to be confusing search autocomplete with double click ads, which shows a gross misunderstanding of what is even being discussed

As for this nugget, if shows a gross misunderstanding of what we're debating: whether Google is biased towards one party.

But processing your full response - nitpicking on the exact % of Democrats is a masterful tangent from the crux - that Google is likely not going to censor fairly. And the only reason I can think of for this bike shedding [1] is likely because you know it's true.

Many highly-walkable cities handle this by allowing freight deliveries in the very early morning, say 3am-6am. This can get a little annoying if it’s a mixed use commercial/residential space, as the residents then have to deal with freight truck backup noises in the wee hours. Fair trade off, I’d say, to live in a highly desirable and human-scale neighborhood.

"it's really hard to fill your living space to capacity with things"

This depends on the size of your living space, which varies greatly. Is it really that difficult to fill a 900 sq ft apartment, assuming you don't want to put a lot of boxes in the middle of your living room?

I notice that there are a lot of storage rental places, including major chains.
I'd recommend giving a try to "sshuttle". It's easier to use than it seems, and it's been working flawlessly for me.
Having only one resulted in the IE nightmare. Supporting Gecko and Webkit nowadays is quite simple. I don't mind a new, standards compliant rendering engine.

Surely people here are technical enough to decide what's best for themselves without a flamebait article rehashing ages-old stuff. I am personally extremely anti-Apple, I know a lot of people here are pro-Apple and couldn't live without them. But I think one thing we can agree on is that we know what's best for our own work-flows and that this specific kind of article is just a pointless waste of everyone's time. That's the reason why I have flagged it.
Many (but not all) scientists assumed the far side of the moon would turn out to look much the same as the side we are familiar with. [...] And I argued with Hornig [Donald Hornig, Chairman of the President's Science Advisory Committee] about it and he said, 'Why? It looks just like this side.' And it turned out it didn't."

I did not know that. How significant is the difference?
To the general public probably, but within the CS subfield of systems in particular I don't think there's actually a big prestige difference, and it might even go the other way. You get a prestige boost for your research by being able to say that it was "implemented at Google" in your papers; if anything, his talks at conferences will probably be better-attended than previously.
I've really enjoyed skimming through other users 'dotfiles' or similarly named repos. It's a great way to find some small tips or shortcuts to make my day to day work more efficient, etc, without reading a long blog post about why some technique is the 'only sane, correct, right, proper way' and you'd have to be crazy to try anything else. I.e. great tips without the commentary.

Yes you’re right, I had forgotten this. I’ll argue that their nature is different though. small-EC2 won’t help you deal with a surge in traffic like GAE will. But small-EC2 will let you install anything you want. And like the OP pointed out, both are not mutually exclusive.
When people ask me this, I always run away crying. Finally I can point them somewhere.
> The author also makes a common mistake: blacklisting as safe string escaping.

Which is why it says "at the very least". Werkzeug's secure filename function explicitly only whitelists characters in filenames.

> Moreover, this whole article embodies the statement NEVER, EVER, IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TRUST USER INPUT.

The problem is that often you will assume that certain APIs were written with that in mind when they were not. os.path.join for instance looks very innocent. I expect my database abstraction layer also to handle SQL injection projection for me, so I would be very confused if SQLAlchemy turned out to not escape strings passed in as placeholders.
if the web primarily became a data-layer for mostly native apps would that really be such a bad thing?
As for jQuery - nobody disputes that it had HUGE impact on the web - document.querySelector(All) itself is the living proof to that claim. It's just... it was around for waaay to long.

Building tools and extending what is currently made available to developers by the platform - all this is in our very natures as developers. We did that even in the early days, when low-level primitives were mostly missing to support us in that work.

Jake Archibald explains this in a comment on Nat Duca's post over at G+[1] - give developers some primitives; see what they do with them - then distill it and create high-performance features out of what now you already know there is a market for. TC39 works on this basic principle (everybody whines about types in JavaScript - TypeScript might be the JavaScript's jQuery here, paving the way for some distilled type system in JS (or SoundScript. or anything else that's out there).

*

As for Apple - I am siding with Peter-Paul Koch on this[2] - Apple had some quite a few good deeds in favor of the web, but that was a long time ago. Nowadays it just seems to be protecting its walled garden that is native apps & the related ecosystem - certainly not giving a whole lot about making the web a better place (or devs, for that matter). The Pointer Events fiasco is a perfect reminder to all this.

For any good Apple has did to the web, the surely made equal bad so the scales are (IMHO, at most) 50-50 here.

I think they're obviously talking about macOS x86 apps running on macOS ARM.
God is preparing yet another lecture of "survival of the fittest".
You should peg dev-deps just like any other dep.
Sorry, but where do you see breadlines?
I think the idea is that ideally apps should be recompiled for ARM, but for those apps that aren’t you will still want to have a way to run those x86 apps on an ARM Mac.
Seems like most of that should be fixable. You’ll not get more than 1G sustained (and usually a lot less since they won’t tilt more than a bit) in the simulator of course, but any sound volume and heat level should at least be doable. Steering feedback in the most expensive controllers systems should be realistic enough to be able to mimic the real thing (if the simulation is up to it).

A good simulation obviously only lets you see from the eye position of the driver, so the complaint is usually that you see less than in a race car because you only have a small screen and a poor sense of depth. Today I hope anyone serious about “pro” level simulation just uses VR. It gives stereo depth, you can look out side windows etc.

Obviously if you run a racing sim in an office chair with a cheap pair of pedals and a cheap steering wheel then it’s not going to be close to the real thing.

And that takes time.

If you're telling me that anyone can be as good as someone else who is equally smart but with 2-3 years of experience with that specific tech stack, I'd say that can't be true, almost by definition.
UK here. Your GP is right about the massive backlog in mental health referrals (2+ years in my area) but wrong about prescription charges & the NHS recognising a diagnosis from a private psychiatrist.

Because of that huge backlog I went for a private diagnosis & prescription and then had that prescription transferred to my local GP under what's known as a 'Shared Care Agreement', so my scrip cost ~£110 per year (buy a Prescription Prepayment Certificate or 'season pass').

I know people who've managed to circumvent the waiting list (and private fees) using 'Right to choose' but I understand that can vary depending on your local health authority. Certainly worth exploring though.
