You aren't really free to fork it at all.

Forking the SDK is explicitly not allowed, but the killer is if you want to make one device which carries the Google Apps you have to agree that all Android devices you make will. (i.e. you are forced to bundle Google Play Services on all devices). This is why Amazon do what they do and it remains a separate ecosystem.
> Feel free

And I feel free to tell my personal POV on this situation, as you and everyone else.
I had a similar experience on a visit to a rural road.
They had built Four+ warehouses all serving Amazon traffic.
I would rather that language designers get basic stuff like lexical scope right, before they care about performance.

And LLVM is effectively a huge black box, which I would caution any new language implementor against using. Sure, it may get you off the ground easier, but that's because you'll no longer be standing on the ground, you'll be standing on LLVM, a massive codebase you don't understand nothing about.
I'd start even simpler than a lot of these other comments. I've worked in the investment space for years and there are many, many great books to read. In fact, there are just too many of them.

Start of with a book by Peter Lynch - Probably "One up Wall Street". He's a legendary investor. After that, go a bit more broad - "A Random Walk Down Wall Street". After you're done with that, try learning about fundamental and technical analysis. They are 2 very different things, but are the basis for valuation/pricing.

When you're done with that, you'll know more than most.
Good approach. Any chance of your sharing the code used to generate these graphs from the %D-formatted Apache logs?
Be aware that it is a giant rathole. If you're looking for something commercially viable that might actually make a difference in the world, you're better off in a field like information retrieval, machine learning, geo, or image/audio processing.

There seems to be a siren's call of language/OS/editor development, though. If you really can't resist it, go do it. At the very least, you'll learn a lot, and it beats CRUDscreen Web2.0 apps as a mental exercise. But other fields of CS are much, much, more useful.
That is perfectly acceptable.

But the author is claiming that the developers are not making money with it and he's using flawed logic to get there. That's not ok.
Journaling existed a long time before blogging. And for me at least, the old fashioned journaling, where you just write stream of consciousness stuff that you know will never be seen by anyone else, is a lot more liberating than blogging. Not only because you know that nobody else is going to ever see it, but also because of the writing technique usually recommended (just keep writing, don't edit, don't re-read, don't critique,etc).

I always found that blogging was just one more thing for my to procrastinate and end up not doing. :-(
It is really frustrating to me that so few rely on their common sense with this topic. As a single page can only have one title, and it is the clearest indicator of what the page is about (it is the TITLE), of course it is important. It is also the main determinant of whether someone will click on your search result after, of course, rank.

But we're also talking about "onpage SEO" here, which is like 1/1000th of what determines if you will have a successful website in search engines (and even less for a successful website, period). You should know the basics, then worry far more about the quantity and quality of links to your pages... and lots of other stuff.
Wow - this thing looks great. I wonder how they make profit, though, there's no ads and no paid versions?
I've been using Things since it came out for the Mac and I've been wanting OTA sync since the iPhone came out, but it isn't completely necessary. It is a nice to have feature, but I would rather have it done right than rushed to production.

By his logic, Apple waiting months before letting the iPhone have 3rd party apps should've killed it; or Apple not having copy+paste until version 3.0 should've killed it. But neither of those happen because Apple was patient enough to do it right the first time.
I'd probably do like 1Password does and require DropBox. It doesn't take all the pain out of syncing (there's still a lot of conflict management that the app has to take care of), but it would make low-level stuff easier.

But, it's a moot point. The Cultured Code guys are very technically competent, this doesn't seem like they're unable to do the technology, but rather the project management or discipline to get it out there.
Agreed, the author's blog has a bunch more interesting recipes: http://thestonesoup.com/blog/
I've been using this to re-learn Trig, as well as learn Calculus and Linear Algebra. Very easy to follow, and the videos are usually only about ten minutes long.
If you're past the point of wondering how you're going to buy your next meal and make rent, then yes, it is absolutely worth it.

I use a Steelcase Leap (I tried the Aeron, but prefer the Leap, go sit in a bunch and see what you like) and it's been worth every penny compared to the Office Depot chair I has previously. I don't sit in it and think "wow, this is a comfortable chair" -- that's not the point. It just becomes an extension of your body and you forget it's there at all. I can sit in it for hours without becoming tired or uncomfortable.
"debug queries"

yea, that's the point where things start getting exciting when you have logic in queries that you actually have to debug.

I too love 200 LoC (tiny, in fact) procedures that inside build ""dynamic SQL"" aka string concat and EXEC with many OUTPUT parameters

10/10 experience, would recommend it to everyone.

No, I don't want to debug my queries because it means that I'm probably doing too much on the database.

I treat database more like a fancy data storage with outdated language, not as a business logic layer.

But that could work either way; movies could equally become more and more artsy over time and the audience that dislikes that would leave. Why didn't it happen that way?
And sanity. ;)

Honestly IDEs in general are the most complex pieces of software that I frequently encounter. Most of that complexity comes in the form of features that I either never intend on using or don't intend on using at the time, which makes that complexity really frustrating. Complexity where it is necessary is fine of course, but I feel like IDEs like Eclipse frequently cross that line.
Agreed. Though, to answer your parent post: when helping friends with XNA or MonoGame projects, I've shaved entire milliseconds off of frame times (particularly notable when you have a 16ms budget) by removing needless reference types, either by unpacking and using primitives or by replacing those reference types with structs.

Or, when I was at TripAdvisor, we (not me originally, though I inherited it) greatly improved typeahead performance by dropping the built-in collections classes (which used boxed primitives, because lolbrokengenerics) in favor of Trove (or Colt, I can't remember) and the reified primitive types. If I write Java today, I reach for Trove as a matter of course just because it means I never write List<Integer>.

This stuff matters. Getting in the right habits is not hard and will pay off in the ten percent of cases where it matters.
I tend to think of selling to an app store as basically selling through Wal-Mart or Best Buy vs selling direct. Yes, selling direct is higher margin, but it's also got a different set of challenges. For example, you have to acquire customers on your own.

Probably the best way to look at it would be to treat the Mac App Store as a secondary channel. If it was a secondary sales channel, then it's additional revenue and new customers which is a nice to have.

You are probably best off creating your own customer list and selling directly to customers over time away from the Mac App store. Or, you avoid it alltogether and figure out how to sell direct. The only downside there is you have to do your own advertising and use something like Gumroad or FastSpring or some homegrown Stripe solution for delivery and such.

Nothing is perfect and there are tradeoffs to both approaches.

- Proficient with Ruby, Rails + JS & front-end technologies

- Can deploy, monitor, maintain and launch web applications for clients

- Fully remote

Email your portfolio of apps you've built and bio to marco@masswerks.com
No, smaller, because you don't need the Go compiler to run it, just to build it. Therefore, you won't need the compiler at all, just the binary.

I've seen that. It looks like it is just as much work to take things out of the dryer, turn them inside out if necessary, and load them onto that machine. And separately deal with types of clothing articles the machine can't handle.

It's a lot like a dish washer. By the time you scrape and pre-wash and load all your dishes, you could have just washed them and put them on a drying rack. The real value of a dish washer is it serves as that drying rack. Most kitchens don't have a lot of dedicated space to dry dishes.
This is also your perception that the racism isn't whitespread. Step into the shoes of a dark skinned person and we'll see what your perception is then.
It's becoming increasingly frustrating that a platform meant to make it easier to trade crypto can go down so frequently. It leads to more skepticism by mainstream entities when Coinbase is their only experience into the cryptocurrency market. I echo the other comments here that they need to figure out their stability issues prior to their IPO. There's no way they can go public with such a poorly run platform. And I say all of this as someone that is an active user of Coinbase.
Indeed, I don't know what the right answer is here. As a civilization, we're struggling to adapt to the sudden fundamental shift in how information flows. I see these things as experiments in ways to mitigate the negative externalities caused by the changes, which to me is a good thing. We should be trying stuff out to see what works. I just fear that we won't be able to understand the blast radius of these experiments and may end up causing something dreadful to happen.

> I'm pretty sure people in Germany though they were stopping the fascists by supporting the Nazis.

You'd be pretty wrong. At best they thought Hitler would soften greatly after he rose to power, at worst they agreed with everything he said and did.

In '33 German non-Jewish shops started putting up "German Free" stickers. Einstein fled the country in that same year. His photo was widely published in newspapers with "not yet hanged" as the sub-heading. His friend, Theodor Lassing, was shot and killed, an act that was celebrated in Germany.

Hitler had been imprisoned for his actions before his rise to power, and was a largely known entity before the Germans "turned to him". There wasn't a lot of confusion about what he thought, who he hated, or what he wanted to do with them. Mein Kampf was released in 2 parts across 1925 and 1926.

An actual criticism about the time just before Hitler's rise to power, is that every other powerful party took him for a joke. They didn't expect him to be a viable rival. So instead, the Communist party (one of the major parties at the time) spend their squabbling with the Socialdemocrats instead of focusing their attention on the "real enemy".

If you're actually interested in this topic, you should read the book "They thought they were Free". It chronicles how normal people fell to support the fascists - the Nazi party.
What makes you think China has adversarial intent? Or are you just feeling insecure at the fact that white people may no longer be at the top?

I think we've pretty conclusively proven that there's no non-dangerous option available. Maybe this isn't the best answer, but speaking as someone who's very consistently opposed these kinds of content policies in the past, I no longer think it's tenable to take a hard line against information control here.
I think it uses SMS to send the actual messages. Anyway, the re-usability of keys is actually a feature that enables perfect forward secrecy.
Mongrel is GPL, more or less. libebb claims to be X11 licensed. How is this possible?
They should probably use .NET or ASP.NET as technology options because C# is not a technology, is a programming language.
(I noted this a week ago when I signed up as a Apple Developer)
Yeah, my very initial reaction was that this must be a joke of some kind -- I see that it's not -- but boy it seems so similar on the surface
Or smart people don't use facebook.
There's always Bundler (http://gembundler.com/) to make your life a lot easier. Prior to this it was a bit of a scramble to get everything installed properly.
perfect, thank you.

p.s. I find it very cool that you, working for 10 gen, submitted this article on hacker news. There is still hope in the NoSQL landscape :)
Across the country for a 7 day event? Seems extreme.
Perhaps a small irony, the nitrates in green vegetables & beets actually enhances athletic performance.
I haven't "pretended otherwise" or evangelized anything, please don't make these accusations at me. I can only offer you suggestions on what to do, I'm not going to argue about what the "right" way to do is as that's simply not interesting to me. The vast majority of Linux distributions may not do things the "right" way but they also support AppImages, so use that to your advantage. If you had no success in getting upstream to make AppImages then you'll have to make them yourself. It seems that's what a lot of flatpak and snap packagers ended up doing, just my observation.

To put this another way: We can sit here making the same complaints about Ubuntu and RHEL that have been made for decades, but what's the point? Let's do something about it. And if that doing something means we turn the whole system into AppImages, then... what else would you really want? It sounds like your problem would then be solved.
>> Journalism should not just stick 'to facts'. Journalism's objective is to speak truth to power by whatever means necessary and to bring truth to light.

That's fine, but there is a time and place for it. As someone else said, doing it in that particular situation may have made the reporter a real bro among his own side but he looked like an ass to others. It's not ones own side that needs convincing, so it's ineffective in addition to making one look biased and like a child.
> The key for Clubhouse will be in honing its algorithms so that every time a listener opens the app they are presented with a conversation that is interesting to them.

If they had no competition that would make sense, but there are quite a few platforms trying to recommend audio content to people as-is.

The current podcasts I listen to I found through YouTube. I assume they had a presence there as that's where their audience looked to find content.
Instagram was as well. Seems to have been global across their properties.
The tip is pointing down, so an increase in current would indicate a decrease in 'Z' coordinate of the sample surface.
No problem at all. You asked a really good question and deserved a suitable answer. Take care and if you get into running, I hope we get to grind hills together someday!!!

Good luck!!!
Hope it's down forever!
Nah, the longer it is down, the better.

Isn't this just regular work?
self-reversing is not nilpotence.

In mathematics, a self-reversing function is called an involution, and it's f^2 (or f(f) ) = Id, the identity function.

Nilpotence is very different. It says that if you apply your function a certain number of times, you end up with zero no matter what the input is. For example, projection on x axis + 90 ° rotation of a vector is nilpotent.
Is there a popular language today that doesn't have conditional expressions?

Whaaaa Where does it say that?

Claire Cameron, my old flatmate, does! Nautilus is amazing!
I think he is imagining detonating all the explosives at once, like a gun, the bullet being the payload you want to put into orbit - like in the Jules Vernes books - instead of progressively consuming a fuel like kerosene (which itself has, from wikipedia, an energy density of about 10 kcal/g), leaving more and more mass behind as you ascend.

The gun idea seems to be, instinctively, very inefficient because of the need to fight the air density in the lower atmosphere all in one shot. I may be wrong there - mostly imagining what may be wrong with the approach (beyond reducing a live payload to a pink mist) based on kerbal experience :-p
The process of joining IRC (which comes naturally to us today), is actually really complicated for the non-techie. This is a good thing, because we value IRC for like-minded folk. It feels like we're part of a cult. I don't think many of us want the masses to come to IRC. IRC is a filter, so keep the Facebook/WhatsApp/Snapchat/etc. away.

Oh, and if Slack is making IRC redundant, KiwIRC, Mibbit, IRCloud and the rest are making it easily accessible.

How much would the price be?
Aside from being a little small, the layout of this page is very easy on my eyes and also holds my attention compared to most news sites I come across. It also loads and displays content really well without requiring external javascript.
He also runs independent subscriptions and chat on destiny.gg, his custom open-source website. I think his subs might have predated (2013) the general launch of twitch subscriptions (can't find the year), although some partners like day9 had subs on justin.tv as early as 2011.

I'd guess it's one of the reasons he manages to stay afloat despite his regular controversies.
Philosopher Larry Laudan had a tripartite view. He proposed IIRC convergent processes between better (and more complete) measurements, better (and more complete) models and theory, and better instrumentation. Thus, one could also include a fourth term perhaps: improving technology.
Speaking of Spotify, on one hand, I think publishers will drag it down while raising royalties as they see Spotify making profits. Essentially choking Spotify’s profit.

On the other hand, I don’t see them doing that so much that the only player left in the market is Apple who then will get to call the shots again like it did before streaming.

So, I think Spotify will survive, but barely. And that’s what the networks should’ve done to Netflix if they don’t want piracy in the future. Except Netflix doesn’t have to have everything in its catalog. It can certainly say no to certain media if the terms are unfair. Maybe the studios saw that and think there is no other option. Just thinking out loud at this point.
I just had to help my wife move her taskbar back from the left hand side back to the bottom where she likes it. She has no idea how it got moved, and I've got no idea how long she just put up with it in the wrong place before it annoyed her enough to get help. Regular users might want to automate things, but they absolutely should not be able to accidentally go inside systems and break them.
Holy those pages load fast. Design feels slightly dated but the speed is fantastic.
In my experience having a high-deductible health insurance policy that that I purchase myself I think this bit of the article can't be understated.

"I explained that just because he had health insurance didn’t mean he had to use it in every situation. After all, when people have a minor fender-bender, they often settle it privately rather than file an insurance claim. Because of the nature of this man’s policy, he could do the same thing for his medical procedure. However, had I been bound by a preferred-provider contract or by Medicare, I wouldn’t have been able to enlighten him."

My wife and I have run into multiple cases in the last two years where our providers would have offered substantial discounts for paying cash, however because of the provider's contractual obligation (and state law, to boot) they are unable to accept cash payment and are required to bill our insurance at a higher rate than their cash discount. Since I have a high deductible I end up paying for the procedure out-of-pocket at a higher rate than if I could have just paid cash. It's maddening.
Yes I probably shouldn't have made such a broad claim. Do you think any of these lower volume participants are dependent on the CQS/UQDF consolidated feeds though? I bet Bloomberg, Thompson Reuters, and co are connecting to each exchange and building their own consolidated feed rather than repackaging CQS/UQDF.
Co-founder of Virtuous Giant, creators of IgnitionDeck here. We're not shady, I promise.

We believe that self-hosted crowdfunding is the future, are aware of the concerns with self-hosted cf, and are working hard to address them.

The only reason we're here is because we wanted to raise money in a way that didn't require a KS application, and we funded the plugin with itself. Believe me when I say that we are heavily invested in the success of DIY crowdfunding.
Don't be embarrassed, it's more of the same point. Exactly zero percent of my 15 years of development experience include writing a bubble sort. Your post represents perfectly what the author is saying about the disconnected, displacing, time wasting effects caused by conventional wisdom about performing tech interviews. If the developer is not themselves you're not hiring who you think you're hiring. I know you don't choke when you're doing good work. There must be a better way.
