I always thought the primary value of code reviews was informational, not bug finding. That is by reviewing code you have a better understanding of the changes that went into it, give you a chance to ask why something was done and will generally lead to better future interactions with it.
Freedom for the users. I am totally disinterested in the freedom of companies.
Coinbase just reported 56 million users, $335 billion in trading volume, and $1.8 billion in revenue for Q1
I remapped all those keys to Tab+righthand, so to type the curly brace I press Tab+j. It's fantastic.
This sounds interesting, could you please share more details about it? (or the source code if available)
Other animals sweat though, like horses, hippos (no fur).
Example using widely understood tooling... But there are plenty of other one line changes with similar impact
No but you could have been kind and helped someone learn. Instead you chose to respond with ego...just like you did now!
Thanks!

I was under the impression (mostly due to this podcast that talks about China's semiconductor history: https://chinatalkshow.libsyn.com/chinas-chip-dreams) that all of the big software companies that make chip tooling are outside of China and that a ban would be possible, but politically difficult.

> AND how long until China sets up a TSMC competitor?

From that same podcast it seems as though they've been trying for decades and have so far unable to do so and recent attempts(https://chinatalk.substack.com/p/billion-dollar-heist-how-sc...) have ended in massive fraud.
Well if you say so.
from the article

the U.S., Japan and Germany have asked Taiwan and South Korea, the two key chip manufacturing economies, to help prioritize chips for the automotive industry, which is crucial to the world economy. This has further squeezed production of semiconductors for consumer electronics and computer products.

does "crucial to the world economy" mean consumer supply of automobiles (a.k.a jobs) or industrial use like in trucks, forklifts etc??
Japan doesn't have over 4x the population of US and a comparable amount of land.

China has many advantages that Japan doesn't have. It's not a given that the same thing will happen.
Few notes:

- Does not enumerate ChaCha20

- Doesn't detect BoringSSL - try running it on certly.io
call it cross-pollination.
I've seen Brad talk about this. It's the same example that has been trotted out over the years. Not that impressed. If some of the Gmail or Adwords system has been ported or re-written to Go that would be impressive.

An IDE is important for many developers. Go would certainly benefit from being able to develop and debug in one place and have all the project management stuff handled. Why rely on a third party like Sublime Text? Visual Studio, Xcode (warts and all) and IntelliJ are good IDEs that boost productivity. The question is why hasn't resources been made available by Goodle, whether money or personnel, to do something here? Maybe work with IntelliJ to create a Go version of their IDE like they have for other languages and DART?
So you're going to pick up that shovel and keep digging?
It depends on the company. Here, the agent is practically begging him to call the right people. That is the forward path. He should have done so.

If you're getting the run around, asking for escalation usually works. If not, ask in so many words what information you could provide which would require someone else to evaluate, then repeat that exactly. You can also do social engineering in a good way -- I prefer paper for issues which are not time sensitive. Paper to the CEO's office or VP of CS is the way to resolve most bank issues, for example.

Another favorite trick is calling Investor Relations. (I am an investor in AT&T. I own probably eight tenths of a share in an index fund. That is enough to call IR with the expectation of favorable treatment.)
I tried signing up for AT&T DSL twice via their online form. They never got in touch with me even though I received email confirmations from the signup process.

I even chatted with an AT&T representative who could see that I had signed up, but couldn't tell me why no one had contacted me. And they also weren't able to sign me up for service either!
Re: authentication.

There are three paths to authentication presently.

1) Anonymous - Anonymous is a subject in the system with explicit permissions. When no authentication is presented the system assumes you are the anonymous subject. This is the common case because most website content, for the types of websites we've seen on HiFi, are made up of entirely publicly readable content.

2) Cookie Based - We use your typical web app SHA1 hash with generated salt. Not the greatest form of authentication, susceptible to replay, but preferable to HTTP Basic.

3) HTTP Basic Based - Want to get rid of this sooner than later. Need to invest in digest but it has its problems. This is not used in the app but is useful for server-server API consumption, cURL scripts, etc.

As Joel mentioned, the backend is largely XHR driven. Results are rendered primarily with an evolution of Resig's JS templates (http://ejohn.org/blog/javascript-micro-templating/). When time permits we'll move to the now official jQuery templates (http://api.jquery.com/jquery.tmpl/). Most website frontends consume the API directly in template while still server-side. Some go further and leverage the API from JS/XHR to make pages more interactive.
I guess I'm biased because I wrote Latitudie :). I haven't really had time to test the Google Latitude app, since I've been setting up a bunch of servers for my next project for the whole day, so I can't tell you exactly the differences between the two apps. However, I'll be writing a blog post about that in the coming days.
Second this idea - privacy may be the big new selling point of future services. Trust a bigco or trust us? Public is free, but private is extra (private groups, private social circles, private sharing of specific data).
Look at game design. School is the opposite of addictive or fun: it doesn't have a tight feedback loop, you are indefinitely punished for initial mistakes that could otherwise have been experiments, and doing badly has large consequences (repeating/wasting tuition money.) School, ideally, would be a completionist, not competitive, game: every correct question would give you an experience point, and you'd finish (not "pass") when you had (in however much time you like) 100%-ed every question of every assignment of the course.
By "rail" here I mean long prolonged heavy metallic object. Replace warhead with the rail and launch ICBM.
This is well known to be a a lie. The vans are fake. It's basically just extortion.

Just think of it as part of our eccentric british ways.

EDIT: just to add, I pay my license fee, happily, even though I dont have to because its not required to watch the iPlayer streaming service, which is how I watch almost all my TV. The fee is pretty cheap considering the sheer breadth of services the BBC provides. The UK would essentially fall apart without it culturally.
I agree in general, however there are circumstances where it's rather a different story: http://news.thomasnet.com/IMT/archives/2009/04/closing-the-d...
You don't need to spend all that much money anymore. A 200$ graphics card on a 3 year old system works fine. Err, unless you want a laptop.
FreeBSD is kind of another beast at this point in time, NetBSD support for xen is actually okay and it is pretty trivial to get it working, freebsd not so much.

Hopefully cperciva's work will pay off soon for a stable freebsd on Xen as I know there are plenty of users, me included, that would love this option.

Edit: and that linode post on how to get it running looks a bit dated
> Rather, it's a byproduct of a seriously messed up world/society/personal relations landscape, that depressed individuals are more sensitive to or have felt more deeply.

- Even if this were true, that doesn't preclude depression from causing biochemical changes (e.g. inflammation).

- Saying this is the only cause of depression doesn't make a lot of sense because it doesn't account for, say, post-surgical or post-viral depression.
Preexisting life being able to adapt to inhospitable environments does not also mean that they can develop there. We know very little about under what conditions abiogenesis can occur.
1. Remove all shortcuts to Internet explorer from the start menu, mydocuments, desktop, and search menus.

2. Install latest version of firefox, use IE themes.

3. Make a shortcut to start firefox, but change the icon to internet explorer, the retarded blue 'e' symbol.

4. Make sure you get all the bookmarks copied over.

5. Make sure any buttons, keys or special behavior moved to equal features on firefox.

6. Also put some firefox shortcut icons around the start menu and desktop.

They won't even notice anything is different, and if they do, tell them they had to radically update it so that it would be more secure and faster.

If they were tech savvy enough to notice what you were doing, they would have the skill to change it back, and most likely would be already using firefox.
Wasn't Danger (the makers of the Sidekick) bought by Microsoft and their product turned into the Kin?
Tencent is... unbelievable. I saw that huge piece of crap IM client on the PC of basically every Chinese grad student I knew. I also recently found out that their QQPlayer media player violates the GPL by including code from ffmpeg without any attribution or licenses; combine that with the way their IM client used to, and still may, censor messages, and I'm wondering what the hell else they're up to! :)
"Also, I'm surprised no one has mentioned a controversial practice I know that others have used: time bombs in the software. It goes something like this: Here is your working version which we will make permanent when you're paid in full."

If you have to resort to this practice, you have already failed. Tripping the time bomb will get you sued, not paid, and you will lose. You may even go to jail.
It's true that a smaller "delta" update would be doable over the air, but I think that the hookup to your PC makes the process much safer. Should your device update fail, you have backups and a way to restore back to your previous state.

We've seen what happens when an update goes awry (http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2011/02/everything-tha...), and Apple is clearly playing it very, very safe and very, very slow, much to our geeky displeasure.
Something Awful, newsmap.jp, K10 if there's anything new, HN, and dis.4chan.org/prog/

I take a general overview of the internets in the morning and a couple of times later at jimmyr.com as well, to see what articles were trending from people's hatena and delicious bookmarks.
No,that's not true. The femoral vein is too deep to be cut off. The position of the leg straps is relevant because proper leg straps allow you to hang in a sitting position.
Then you should consider writing two tools:

2. A translator that maps an existing Excel file into Jig.
Reasonable -- thanks for expanding on this. No idea what your management infrastructure is like -- would you mind expanding a tiny bit on how you would power some of the things that CSI/CNI give you for the complexity? For example taking a disk snapshot or enforcing workload-specific network firewalling?

If I think of the choices for pre-built orchestration being:

- LXD

- Kubernetes + CSI/CNI

- Nomad + a little bit of orchestration

I think I know the answer for some of the other options, but not Nomad -- how I'd get some of the features that CSI/CNI provide. Do ya'll just run jobs that take and ship LVM volume snapshots? Is live migration supported (to be fair this isn't really easy/possible/built-in anywhere except LXD AFAIK yet), or do you do a rolling traffic-shifting and application-replica-shooting process?

Looks like I need to read up on nomad this weekend -- looks like it's got just enough for you all to productively use it and build just what you need on top. I have to admit I haven't given it enough of a read/examination.
It's more about predicting imminent power changes since power stations take time to come online.
this post seems to suggest that Dougr's ideas that oil is escaping into the surrounding rock are wrong: http://www.theoildrum.com/node/6611#more
You're absolutely right. It's just that, at least in the case of isotope, most people wouldn't realize that "iso" and "tope" have meanings. They might notice that "iso" also occurs in "isolate" but probably wouldn't look much beyond that. The author's point is that the Chinese use simple, everyday words instead of archaic words from dead versions of languages.
I'll grant you fly machine. But if a taxi is a rent car, what do I call a rental car? And if a fire-car is a train, what do I say if my car catches fire?
San Diego, CA (Downtown) - Awarepoint - awarepoint.com

We're looking to add a junior-to-midlevel Java developer to our applications team. We work mostly on web applications and APIs, and we're starting to move our web-tier to Python.

Awarepoint is a realtime location company currently focused on healthcare. Our system can show you a top-down map of every tagged object in a facility through the use of an RF mesh network. It's a really neat system, and we get to use it to solve interesting problems.

Email me at bgilmore@awarepoint.com if you're interested.

* exercise (gym, sports, whatever I enjoyed but got me moving)

* go into engineering, comp. sci., or statistics instead of physics
--> main thing is choosing a discipline with solid job prospects in a variety of locales while also aiding me in my pursuit of bootstrapped projects

* go to hacker meetups, democamps, diy clubs

* work on more personal projects

* find like-minded people that have personal projects (see going to hacker meetups, democamps, diy clubs)

* have fun with friends

As an aside: my experience is that a good deal of students in B* programs feign being smarter than they actually are. It's usually not until towards the end of a B* program that students realize how little they actually know. If you're looking for partners in the second group look for people who are clever and genuinely curious (about life, people and how things work). (where * is A, Comp., Sc., Eng., etc)
I've read a lot of PKD, though not everything. My top three picks would be:

1 - Ubik

2 - The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch

3 - Martian Time Slip

Honorable mentions:

4 - A Maze of Death

5 - Divine Invasion (the 2nd of the VALIS trilogy)

6 - Eye in the Sky

Of his short stories, I'd recommend "Beyond Lies the Wub" and "Roog".

Regarding movies influenced by his work:

The original "Blade Runner" movie is far better than "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep". The original "Total Recall" movie is far better than "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale". "The Terminator" is far better than "Second Variety". "The Truman Show" is better in some ways than "Time Out of Joint" (though this is a closer call, and as usual Dick's vision is a lot darker than Hollywood's take on it). "A Scanner Darkly" and "Minority Report" are also minor works, which you would lose nothing by skipping.

I would also avoid prety much all of his later work and his so-called "Exegisis". For me, Philip K Dick was best when he was writing straight scifi (or at least as straight as he could write it).

Later he tried to write more "literary fiction", or things that had little if any scifi in them, and failed utterly. His navel gazing and endless obsessing about a minor mystical experience in the Exegesis could also not be any more dull. Avoid.

Some of his early and mid-career work is fantastic, though. He is definitely one of my top three favorite scifi authors, if not the very top for his best work.

He wrote A LOT, however, mostly due to being incredibly poor and yet insisting on supporting himself and his family exclusively by publishing work that was appreciated by very few people throughout almost all of his lifetime. So overall his work is of very uneven quality, and can be very hit or miss if you insist on reading through much of it.
Are there some readers that do some content curation for you on top of your subscriptions? The biggest issue I had with RSS (besides content discovery) is that some people blog multiple times a week while others only once in a while. I would like something that limits the amount of content I get based on how much they post: posts from people who blog only once in a while should be more prominently visible than others. Some way to mark posts as "I want more of that" or "I don't want more of that" would also be helpful to improve the curation without having to manually tweak parameters.
For someone so ready to leap to conclusions, you don’t sound particularly informed about British attitudes to road speed (notably, Britain still uses mph, not km/h). You might be surprised to discover that outside built up areas in the UK the national speed limit on an undivided road is 60mph. Not an undivided highway - an undivided road.

Here’s an example of a random British B road with a 60mph speed limit: https://goo.gl/maps/2jetrMeoWbuTvShN9
To throw in another reason why old versions are still popular, a good chunk of modded players use modpacks, and some of the more popular ones are pretty highly polished collections of mods with a bunch of glue to make them work together as a somewhat unified experience. This can't really happen until the mod ecosystem for a given version has already stabilised a fair amount (and can only happen on versions for which a large number of mods are available, which tends to be every 5 releases or so).
Maybe you rather keep your current job, everything else considered.
It is a choice. The choice is: I will only write/read once a week, that is you making a choice about how you want to allocate time.
Amstrad's last great PC series (the 3x86 series made with very standard components, unlike the unusual 2x86 series) used this strategy for the 3386, I think.

I did sort of touch on this in the essay when I wrote:

"If these experts insist “I’m only willing to educate you on a Zoom call, I’ll educate you via video” then I have the option of hiring any expert in the world, I don’t need to hire an expert in the USA. If I need to educate myself on a set of technologies, so as to evaluate competing software architectures, then I would prefer to meet with experts in-person, but if for some reason I had to rely on communication via Zoom or Slack, there is no reason for me to hire someone in the USA. In such cases, the only reason I would hire a remote worker in the USA is if they were the greatest expert in the world on a subject that I wanted to learn. "

But I go into much greater detail in my book. I devote a whole chapter to this in my book.
Isn't that only docker desktop? AFAIK docker cli and docker daemon are still free.
As long as we live for material things, there is no alternative--armageddon is guaranteed. This materialistic system naturally causes imbalances which inevitably lead to breakdown.

Democracy has always been a dog and pony show where the interests of the rich and powerful are sublimated into a socially acceptable "war of ideals." Behind every issue, some group is playing power politics. Abortion, for example, isn't about the issue in itself, but about subverting traditional GOP values, thereby weakening their platform and making them look bad.

We must fundamentally alter human beings in order to avoid doomsday. In particular, we must suppress the life instinct which demmands continual growth or death. If everyone--not just workers-- could be made to be content with just sitting in their houses, the world would be saved.
"LBRY differs from the status quo in three big ways:

1. Coupled payment and access. If desired, the person who publishes to lbry://rhapsody-film#e1029aaa08bef8e9225efcbfb94a895e9bbdc8ea can charge a fee to users that view the content.

2. Decentralized and distributed. Content published to LBRY is not specific to one computer or network, making LBRY robust to failure and disruption.

3. Community controlled. No party other than the publisher (including us) can unilaterally remove or block content on the LBRY network."

I wonder if this scales well to micro-publishing, say as a protocol for an unmoderate-able twitter.
Sure but these people had zero problem trusting the system when they won in 2016 by a very similar margin. Also, the "government" who is overseeing the election is controlled by the very same party that lost. I would understand conspiracies if Obama's administration was in control, but when you can't believe the words of Republican officials like those in Georgia, then there is nothing that can convince such a person.
The Stoic way of thinking works for me: stop wasting energy/thoughts/actions on things you can’t change and focus 100% on things you can do. What makes you happy? Do that more. What makes you sad? Do that less. Your feelings will guide you to make the right choices. Your feelings “know” what the meaning of life is for you.
Can you share more details? What do you sell? How much time do you spend (and money?) on development? Etc.
Very interesting. Would you happen to have a source that goes into more detail?
Once a company has received a resume from a recruiter, they can't make a direct offer to the candidate for some number of months without fear of getting sued. You're not taking into account the strong financial incentive recruiters have to send out resume spam.
It is very amusing to see him predict that internet of things will "broaden" while wearables will "fizzle". He even links to an example of how silly an idea this is: http://www.engadget.com/2014/01/07/intel-smart-baby-onesie/

A watch that isn't a great computer, and doesn't work well as a watch, isn't going to be a great product. However there are so many other kinds of wearables that we can do well with modern technology.

One kind of wearable technology that we have now and are going to see a lot more of this year is the body camera.

It seems pretty far from stray speculations. It is assumed after a check of the black box. That is ultimately what we rely on for an after the fact analysis. If we can't use that what do we use? And you want to wait a year to find out what happened to your loved ones?
I would say it like this: You either make yourself employable or you don't, in spite of working on a PhD.

What I observed during grad school was that students who wanted to be employable in industry pretty much had to direct their own efforts in that regard. They had to get into the right professor's research group in order to have the leeway to steer their goals. The soft skills needed to function in the business world were those that they were born with, or somehow learned outside the academe. Luck played a role too.
