So nowhere explicitly is lua enumerated in the quote from apple.
Is there any particular reason why the posted write up references lua as opposed to i dont know perl or erlang? Are there historical reasons for its preference, as the wiki on lua lists in its use in games?
On this matter, there is this blog post:

I wonder how and why Vic Gundotra was chosen.
Torture has been shown repeatedly to not be "effective" - people will say literally anything to get it to stop.
I used to work in the Hollywood animation industry. I had friends who worked in the LA video game industry around then.

Crunch was, quite simply, an expected part of life in both industries. I think it may be something that emerges from the way human brains work, when dealing with projects that take more than a year to finish. People slack off near the beginning because, wow, they have YEARS to get it done. (Or obsessively try to polish a small part, because, again, wow, YEARS.) As the release date approaches, it starts to feel more like an actual thing, and people start panicking because there is a colossal amount of money involved in a big-budget game or feature cartoon. You can't take longer because you're running out of money, and you have a ton of sunk costs in the advertising that says a specific date, there are merchandising tie-ins waiting for the release, all kinds of things pushing towards "the team works crazy hours and burns out".

Me? I draw a graphic novel now. The only deadline I have to make is the self-imposed one, and I'm lucky enough that my finances have enough slack that my schedule can have some slack, too.
At $10B, SpaceX is beyond undervalued.

Think about it this way, if they truly are the first company to start laying claim to mineral deposits (or provide service to whatever govt does lay claim) on asteroids, satellites like the Moon, and other planets the amount of value in this company - even over the upcoming centuries - is going to be greater than the East India Company, General Electric, or Apple ever where.

Now that's an investment well worth leaving to our kids.
> I also think about their 3,000 employees and billions(?) of dollars of capital equipment would be worth a lot?

The capital equipment probably is largely pretty specialized to not only the market they are in but their approach to it, and may not be that marketable on its own.

And, despite the name "human resources", regular employees aren't property, and their attachment to SpaceX may be fairly tenuous, particularly in the event of a change in management and operational style.
I guess my point is that giving for animal conservation is very inefficient and nt at all transparent. If you want to protect the animals, push for things that will help the economies grow in the countries with the animals. Animal poaching and habitat destruction are usually results of poor people seeking a way to make a living. Rich countries have the best environmental policies and records. Protecting the environment is a matter of wealth.

Also, don't support biofuels and speak out against them and especially subsidies that favor biofuel production.
Mindfulogy, contraction of mindful and technology, is a young startup harnessing state of the art science and tech to provide disrupting self improvement solutions.

Our first product, the Zen Vibez, is a wearable device taking advantage of a recent technological development made in another industry and adapted to neural stimulation.

Our technology innovatively uses the human brain's natural response to certain external stimuli to elicit desired neural reactions and lead to powerful self improvement effects, thus effectively helping people relieve some of their most self-limiting daily strains and pains.

5 early prototypes to win on our website.
fresh out of magnitudes... got plenty of attitudes though ready to ship!
did you read the article? the article addresses this in the second paragraph. it then goes on to compare levels of crunch with metacritic scores and ROI data, and finds that crunch statistically significantly hurts projects.
Yet again, Ars Technica shows that it's the only lay source worth reading on science topics. Thanks for the great article.
There is a case where we think news that interest us is more important than anything else. That's why we are on HN, isn't it?
I'm not arguing against art, just against bad art.
yep. I think you'd be better off with http pipelining and iframe or ajax based solution. At least that's transparent in terms of existing protocols.

Of course there's a lot more server-side and client-side work going on to support facebook's implementation here. They've essentially invented some crazy way of packaging multiple requests together but hiding that inside a broken html document.

If server push is the destination they I might have thought that websockets was a cleaner way of achieving it. I don't think server-push is the destination though in this case.
Refreshingly well written ("relaxed" is the word that came to mind).

He highlights a paragraph which apparently is the important bit (and it is) but this, for me, is the really insightful statement (in the last section):

HTML5 is in a dangerous place since everyone wants to own it, but everyone is in a different place in terms of support or even what it means.

So true. This is the risk with HTML5 - it is becoming a buzzword for companies such as Apple to jump on and market with. Which isn't a bad thing; unless it is at the detriment of the standard.
Sorry for not making it clear whether I even meant good or bad news. Under CA law they get free parking at meters as well as in (most) restricted-time zones. It seems like that would continue here, and now the city has the goal of upping the rates to always keep spaces open on every block.
The whole post stunk of bratty entitlement. This is one of those cases where hearing the other side of the story actually makes you side with Elon a bit more.
The balloon tanks are still impressive.
Sure, my username at gmail.

Be warned I'm in Canada though, so my knowledge about the US market is limited, and the two countries are very different in the health insurance sector, as you can imagine.
At last! Someone that puts on his pants and screams what every Mozilla developer already knew.

Marketing using the word "open" is the new fashion.
I don't think so, given the many comments about reachability. It seems many don't feel it's an intuitive solution.
Adams is a smart and funny guy, but his great talent to simply often leads him to embarrassing oversimplification.

His bold assumption that no one could be sure if the BP rig was safe is complete BS. Watch the 60 Minutes report, listen to the interview, LOTS of people knew exactly how unsafe it was.

The same goes for Enron, both Bethany McLean and James Chanos pointed out the king is naked, long before Enron imploded.

Just because Scott Adams can't comprehend something, it does not mean that it is incomprehensible.

It is true that our modern lives are very complicated. But primitive people posses staggering amounts of knowledge, which just happen to be essential for their survival.
We all had knowledge like that a long time ago. I have no idea exactly who knows more, but I bet we are all in the same ballpark, because we are all humans.
Most of the work in Clojure web dev so far (that is also publicized, that is) is also oriented towards green-field projects, and not integrating with existing web frameworks. That will change, at which point Clojure will come to embrace Java warmly when necessary (e.g. witness the addition of annotation support).
Your profit margins must be insane if you can afford to give 6% of your earnings away for some glorified credit card processing.
Yeah, pesky entrepreneurs and their eye for opportunity.
There's bookkeeping and there's accounting. Some accountants will set you up with a bookkeeper to take care of the more menial and regular tasks and then coordinate when that bookkeeper (or not) when the time comes for more formal and "artistic" accounting. The bookkeeper that comes into our office (Los Angeles) is billed around $20/hr.
Ah. I completely misunderstood the question, having just finished reading The Man Who Loved Only Numbers, which had a brief digression on Fibonnaci's evangelism of Arabic numerals to the Pisan mercantile class. Mea culpa.
This would be useful if you were making UI components and you want a generic wrapper element to contain say a checkbox and a label. The wrapper can have display:contents, allowing the checkbox and label to have a shared parent for movement through the DOM or selection via JS, but otherwise have no styles that apply to their parent.
This is why I'm concerned (selfishly) that the remote work trend might end up being terrible for wealthy countries.

If you’re working 100% remotely in the US, is there really no one in India who couldn’t do your job just as well? Are you sure? There’s a lot of people in India, and they all have a much lower cost of living.

(I don’t mean to single out India, it’s one of many countries.)
Your last point is made explicitly in the article when it calls school a babysitting service. If you take out the explicit goal of education away from school, you get tax-funded babysitting. In many schools, the funding is low enough that the education system is mostly that.

It takes a lot more money to actually educate kids in a way that gets them to their maximum potential. That’s why affluent families have that rich education outside of the system: society doesn’t spend enough money on it.

While the education system has some good aspects, with a couple of them even being education-related. The focus of society should be on reducing the number of children with bad home lives.
I'm happy you mentioned that, because this highlights a very important difference: Your IDE would show you all "Saver" files in some checkout of Tensorflow, right? But you usually don't want to see the latest version of Tensorflow. You want to see the current version that's installed, which is somewhere under /usr/lib.

I haven't found any IDE that can easily and effortlessly do that.

You will need to pass California residency test (probably being in California for more than 6 months).
Given the company is employing you, they should know where you reside.

If you're working through another company you could give an address to your actual employer without being resident.
Location based pay adjustments will stop being a thing when competition for remote workers will justify it. Companies want location-based pay because they can get away with it: either they think office-first will return, or they think more workers from cheaper areas will be available, so no need to pay more. Whether this will happen remains to be seen. Personally, I think location-based pay will fail to attract top talent, so it'll diminish in prevalence over time. But my conjecture is as good as yours.
Watch where he interviews his dad. Connections, I think.
That sort of vindictive obsession seems to pop up a lot in the media. I remember that time that Newsweek published photos of some old guy's house and declared to the world that he was the secret bitcoin billionaire Satoshi Nakamoto. His face is still all over the search results. Instead of backing off in the face of the growing ridiculing laughter at her stupidity, the reporter doubled down. She eventually shutup about it, presumable after Newsweek got tired of repeating "We stand behind our reporters".
Lol your issues amuse me. I can't wait to vote for him again.

Its every voters job to inform themselves on the candidates. Try as you may but Biden is and was a clear establishment idiot. The fact that you are not aware of his many bad endorsements, gaffes and failures says more about your information channels than it does about Trump.
What’s worse for prices in this market is the appearance that your business can’t grow. Based on AMC’s situation (which is zero as far as I’m concerned), all it can do is grow. Sounds ridiculous, but it’s a growth stock.

It’s in the same class as any tech ipo imho.

This gives some insight on where the company was at pre-pandemic:

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/amc-theatres-quarterl...

But in general, I think there’s good evidence that non-box office releases depress overall revenue (Mulan). Big studios want to be in theaters.

It’s not in the movie industry’s interest to let AMC fall, and AMC and all the pandemic hit industries are going to have to run a lean business to overcome the debt. In the above article AMC said they didn’t want to run ads (non-trailer) before the movie - well, now they will have to. There’s a lot they can do.

They seem like obvious plays to me.
Chrome does not add DNT in incognito or otherwise unless you enable the switch explicitly in chrome://settings and acknowledge the warning. You can check this yourself, open any incognito window and check the request header source in dev tools.
As far as I've heard, it's crippleware as of v0.19
Hi all,

I'm the creator of Bit. Bit is all about making your life just a little bit easier. It helps you spend less time fiddling with Git and more time developing code.

Whether it's autocompletion at your finger tips, sorting branches by most recent, checking out PR's with ease or auto-fast-forwarding when possible - Bit has your back!
I'm fairly certain that GNOME2 used to as well.
No, not really. It's x64. I really wanted to give this a try.
Thanks for the kind words, but be careful what you ask for :)

Actually still in the same business, it's a profession that will always be with me even if I do something completely different next.

After the flood it was clear I would have to close eventually, my lab and my life as I knew it were ruined, I just kept working in the ruins.

Closed my company seven years ago after my surviving equipment finally wore out, and went to an employer where I had already served them as a contractor since the 90's. Like any other place they needed help so I went right in and added an extra $million in capabilites the first year with just the gear they already had. Haven't stopped yet.

Of course there's staff there 24/7 now and I'm a senior scientist so it's a straight day job for me but compared to what I am known to do it's been like retirement to have all nights, weekends, and holidays off, so I've kept up 50 to 60 hr weeks the whole time, just to keep up the pace I've always had. Get more than twice as much accomplished this way, not declining performance which many people understandably find occurs to them.

Didn't stop overcoming operational problems and preparing for exponential growth, but with a few disasters hitting this company, that was not able to be deployed.

So with 12 more years progress in only the last 6 years that totals more than 80 years of progressive accomplishments in only the last 40 years.

Now with covid, economy is down and a bit of our equipment is idle too often, I'll be "retiring" and selling these enhanced solutions better than my employer can do. So I'll be an entrepreneur again since I've reached the point where their shareholders and myself will be better off with me on the outside after I've built about all the foundation that can be done for now.

Some of the people I've been working with in the labs have said I must work like Elon Musk or something.

Definitely not I said, he's much younger, I've been doing it much longer, he works like me.
Oh, right. That makes sense. Hence it's that magical point where an ask equals a bid, and thus: trade!

So doesn't that essentially mean that at the point of measurement—that is, a trade occurring—the price is both lowest ask and highest bid?
If you know the salary of the people you're directly working with, things can get awkward. One alternative is to discuss salary with people who are sufficiently distant from your daily work but are expected to be making the same amount as you. For large companies, this would be people in different divisions who have the same title and years of experience. For small companies, you will probably need to talk to people in other companies.

In my first job out of college, I knew the range of salaries people were earning for entry level software positions because I had discussed this with friends. I negotiated a 10% raise to my first company's starting salary because I used my friends' salaries as a benchmark.
"We already know the equations that we'd need to use do general intelligence"

Not only am I pretty sure we don't know how to build a general intelligence I'm pretty sure that nobody really knows what kind of approach would be most likely to succeed.

Having said that, I would love to be proved wrong on this one - so as you specifically say that the necessary techniques have already been published perhaps you could give the relevant references?
I think one solution to this is to add a DNS record that says how to set the connection timeout for a given port for this IP before trying the next one. As is, there is no control over that and each browser implements it differently.
Did he give any rationale for his request?
He is not a scene cracker, real sceners would never speak public, the sceners are very paranoic about their privacy and security (several layers of vpn and/or bnc) (and they have reasons, there were several raids of several so called top-sites in yurop). Also they don't spread their releases, they "pre" them into the scene and for the scene, but of cource, there are "unsecure" guys there who spread them to p2p/rapidshare/etc.. And site ops are hunting them down and banning from the scene.

I can answer to questions, if you want to ask more.
At Xerox we had a rotating help desk system for a while. It was pretty awful for everyone (those on the rotor and those needing support) as you quickly lose your edge at quickly fixing common issues. If you do it for one day a month (as we did) they it is just a pain in the ass as for one day a month you are expected to be able to fix weird MS Office errors or printer problems. It is always better to pay a little more and have a single person dedicated to handling such issues. There is no shortage of people wanting to get a foot in the door at low level tech support so it isn't going to blow the budget out of the water. In my experience it is actually the opposite as you end up wasting money on getting people to cover a position and they are never as effective as a dedicated person who will come across common issues and be able to resolve them much faster.
My favorite, the north German "Hochzeitssuppe" (wedding soup) is missing. It even has a Wikipedia entry:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hochzeitssuppe

Just the best thing you can eat on a rainy cold November day.
Also, no one really cares about network support anymore, because it's simpler and better to just do a screen share.

I've used that feature every single day for the last 20 years.
how are they stopping individuals from setting pricing. if anything it gives them more power than traditional gig economy apps
Really interesting legal question - "Seems like the ball is with Google at the moment, the exposed data is on their GCP servers. So, they can figure out next steps." is a comment above. How will the chain of insecure infrastructure + the data scrapers + the people responsible for configuration react?
But at the end he says this was a joke , probably not :)
Alex Jones, for example, has been removed from YouTube and Facebook.
Personally, I like permadeath. It makes the game more thrilling. I understand your view, and that's why I added extra lives as an option for my players.
Yeah, lots of people have been forced to prematurely leave to go back to their home country.
So you mean about half my taxes? SS and MC/MA/CHIP are roughly ~50% of federal expense? Why am I paying for grandpa sitting at home retiring and going to the doctor, he should get a job and pay for insurance keeping in mind that the majority of healthcare costs go to cover the aging population?

(What? Too much?)
> "This lazy (and typically selfish) twisted version of "free market" thinking quickly erodes when, for example, I propose using my house that's next to yours as a tannery or a toxic waste storage site."

i'm down for a good "free market" critique, but this veers hyperbolically into nimbyism. everyone agrees that a tannery or toxic waste dump is inappropriate near residences. but having people stay, eat, shower, and sleep in a home is literally what houses are designed for. if you don't own the home, you don't get to choose who stays there (obviously if the renters are breaking the law, that's a problem, and you can report them to the police).

i'm also super-sympathetic to the need for (affordable) housing in most cities, but banning airbnb has a relatively negligible effect on that ginormous problem.
I know, but two things kept me from doing that. 1) I was a contractor. Historically that made me little better than dirt at the client. So I didn't want to rock the boat. 2) Given that her husband tried to kill her, I felt that the emotional toll on her having to get a talking to might be a bit much at that time. That was entirely an emotional argument, not a rational one. I could be wrong.

On the plus side I have firing range headphones now. So I can go to the actual firing range a few blocks from my house. I am also prepared if I ever have a child. Crying gets to me. So I'll put those on and be one of the most loving fathers ever. I'll probably have music earbuds in too.
> He could have just written "here are the languages I'm currently interested in" and be done with that.

To me he did. I saw this as a casual listing of what languages he wanted explore next by ruling out the ones he didn't want to learn because of one or two things in each that he didn't want to contend with.
> That may be counterintuitive, but it's a mis-extrapolation from the fact that being poor really sucks.

I don't think it is so simple. Consider a totalitarian country. The people in the government have no skills which would help them achieve anything in a democratic country, but they are loyal to their leader and therefore are paid very well and do whatever they want. In a world without a meaning, such people chose the best path, because nothing else would make them (and their families) live so well. The oppressed people are suffering and revolting, but the police is also paid well and keeps them from changing the political situation.

In a world without a meaning, the best strategy here would be to join the oppressive government and get the profit, but some people still choose to revolt, even endangering their own lives. Are they stupid? (This is of course just one example of many similar ones).

> All I can offer is to note that you haven't given up already and therefore have some intution that there is some emotional state you might look for -- even though I assert that "meaning" isn't actually it.

Actually, I believe in the meaning of life, see my other post here. I cannot imagine why I would struggle through life otherwise...
An experiment well worth doing, and probably a preferable option for people weary of listening politely to 'authorities' or 'guests' or 'lecturers' one-at-a-time... which can be extremely low-bandwidth.

Certainly at conventions with 'presentations' many people sit near each other to discuss what's being said (or talk past the parts not relevant to them) in real-time. Orchestras still have conductors (strictly interpreting fixed works) but I think most people would rather be in a band (for the creative interactivity) and rather listen to a band.
