It's funny that they don't talk about Danger a bit more. Anybody who ever worked in that environment can tell you that Android is pretty much just Danger v2, even the APIs were similar upon launch. (they have evolved quite a bit since then and veered off, but the first Android SDK was mighty familiar to anybody working on Danger stuff)

It really seems like it was the blueprint of what Android became.
We're bringing CoreCLR to Linux/Mac (in the open) as we speak so hopefully you won't have to worry about ever being a second class citizen.
SEEKING WORK - Remote. I can work in any time zone if required. I'm located in Europe and I provide an invoice.

I'm software engineer with over 8 years' expert experience of client-side technologies.

Contact me - http://bit.ly/Emberjs

ECMAScript/JavaScript, Ember.js, Node.js. I'm also interested in Ruby, RoR, Sinatra, MongoDB or Swift however I have no working experience in these areas.
1password backs up to Dropbox which is a nice touch.
The thing I found the worst about Chase is they require a number in your username. Not that the other restrictions aren't inane (6-12 char password, alphanumeric only, etc).
I wrote an article once for a regional magazine. The title was "Why everyone hates lawyers" As part of the gig, I got to interview some prominent lawyers at the regional level.

I'll never forget the answer one gave me, "Look Daniel, lawyers are not like doctors. A doctor helps you fight a disease. Lawyers, on the other hand, fight other people. Every time you employ a lawyer in litigation, if he is successful, somebody else suffers. That means that there are going to be a lot of people out there who don't like lawyers"

Lawyers exist to fight. That's their job. Even if they don't have a case ("If you have the law on your side, yell about the law, if you have the facts on your side, yell about the facts. If you have neither, just yell"

I don't know if I would go making phone calls, but I would sure as hell poke back at a lawyer if he poked at me. I would like to think that folks like us with lots of ability to assimilate technical details could at least make some kind of showing -- perhaps enough to run them the ones off who are just bluffing.
No, the software does far more then that. http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/server/5/

Zyngas not quite there yet
It takes a lot longer than a few minutes for it to speed up. Sometimes I come back the next morning and it's still running in the 2K-5K per second range.

I thought it was peer-to-peer, I don't think they're even keeping copies of the data.

BTW, I'm running the 0.8 version, it's supposedly faster, but so far -- doesn't seem to be.
I'd like to see a list of those 70 domains.
This case is an argument for the manual curation of the Google SERP.
It will gradually pick up in a few minutes. I've had that before too.
Not sure why sometimes it starts up slowly.
The main point of this article is that it's possible to do the filtering without having a single social network.

"Yes, it is possible. Each of these services has an API, and I have to authorize them against each other anyway. So could these services use their APIs and offer useful filtering preferences to me, pretty please?"

I think this, along with the ability to show what pieces of information are most important, would be a killer features. The network that could implement this would do a lot of the elimination of noise that plagues using multiple social networks.

I would say it without "virtually"
You make personal attacks instead of offering any form of logical refutation. Further, Singapore isn't a nation, it's a private holding company with brainwashed worker-drones, prostituting itself to foreign powers for the 'stability' of island-capitalism and a totalitarian reign. Otherwise, you are of course entitled to your opinion... but according even to your close ally's founding father, neither liberty nor safety are your due.
Although open-source, most people use VSCode with some proprietary plugins. This is definitely not good, especially considering microsoft long history of abuse of monopolies through all its history and even recently: https://betanews.com/2021/02/08/linux-based-raspberry-pi-os-....

We need IDEs that are not controlled by companies.
I'm neither American nor European, if that helps ;-)
Not sure how you can compare then. You can’t do with the threads what you can do with async functions.
> Their office is overflowing with bankruptcy cases...including the very law firm he works for.

I don't understand this. Why would they file for bankruptcy if their office is overflowing with cases?
Thanks for saying that. This is why I read digital minimalism first to understand the things that’s preventing me from deep work in the first place and came out with the same issue. I know it’s bad but sometimes that’s all my brain wants to do. And there’s no answer to find out the reason behind that and address the root cause. Almost all solutions are “just stop doing it.” My friend and I call these the “simple solutions”.

“I feel really sad”

“Don’t. You’ll be alright”.

“Phew. Thanks. I’m cured.”

If anyone here has solutions that are more than “Just focus” I’m interested. It’s starting to affect my work life especially now since a lot of my current work don’t have much meaning and I need to get through this for a few months at least.
I have ADHD, and a back that gives me trouble, and Pomodoro helps with both. It is a practical, get-started, thing a person can do.

In my desk diary I have a target of x number of pomodoro's for the week so that adds a goal to it, which I know helps motivate some people.
Are you a doctor? Can you explain why a study about influenza would apply to SARS-CoV-2? Or is your doubt baseless speculation?
It's dynamic scoping, as appose to lexical scoping. With the dynamic scoping, the environment of invocation becomes the caller's environment, while with the lexical scoping the environment was tied to the scope or original definition.

JavaScript is kinda weird because it uses lexical scoping for most of the part, but uses dynamic scoping for 'this'.

Lexical scoping looks sane, and it's adopted by most programming languages nowadays. Because it's much easier to reason about - it just worked as how the code was written, in the same file. While dynamic scoping would leak variables everywhere - when you need it it's not there, when you don't want it, it just sneakily replace many variables that you expect to be other things.

But there are still quite some mostly dynamically scoped languages in use like Emacs Lisp, or shell languages like Bash and Powershell. Other than dynamically is debatable faster and easier to implement, it's also handy when you override the environment variables for short shell scripts. But for large codebases it's a nightmare, so traditionally Emacs Lisp scripts have super-long-variable-names-in-order-to-avoid-collisions just like writing CSS, and people had enough now so in newest version people can have a syntax that can enable lexical scoping.
WTF are you even responding to? I'm responding to a person other than you first of all. State as in New Jersey or Ohio, not state of mind. Chill the fuck out. What is the intent of your messaging here?
I like to think that every contact outside increases risks. And conversely, to keep my sanity, that every prevented contact helps reduce the risk a little bit
It’s great that you read the linked page, because at the introduction he wrote:

But then, why this tutorial? Why write an adventure game using a general-purpose programming language? Because doing so can be entertaining, challenging and educational. The programming language C may not be the most obvious choice for writing a text adventure; it's nothing like LISP-based languages like MDL and ZIL. But while writing my own humble text adventure, I learned that C fits the bill quite well.
> There is no "magic" at play here, it's just lots and lots of raw muscle. They just seem to have a freakishly successful strategy for choosing what aspects of the processor to throw that muscle at.

There is no freakishly successful strategy at play there as well. It's just all previous attempts at "fast ARM" chip were rather half hearted "add a pipeline step there, add extra register there, increase datapath width there," and not to squeeze it to the limit.
Seattle? Burke-Gilman Trail?
I wish the interviewer was more technical. He doesn't do interviews very often.

Lex has a PhD in machine learning but doesn't seem to be familiar with branch prediction, apparently.
> the BSD version comes pre-installed on macOS

As discussed elsewhere in the thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25659223), it looks like macOS uses an early version of GNU Units.
> $MANGA as well. (Microsoft, Apple, Netflix, Google, Amazon)

I must say this is a new acronym (backronym?) for me. Why do people insist on shoe-horning in Netflix in there? Yes, I'm aware without the N these acronyms can collapse into a more distasteful and off-topic term, but is that the only reason?

I'm sure Netflix is a "wealthy" company with a competent engineering org, but surely they are nowhere near the scale that the rest of the letters operate in? Netflix's competitor is just one of many subdivisions in Amazon, after all.
Would you be open to having a brain dump chat? I want to deliver some WebRTC solutions in the near future but haven’t done this before, would be awesome to just pick someone’s brain about what happens after release :)
It’s not fun when you have to do it.
I think this gets lost in the fray between the "omg this is magic" and then the Apple haters. The M1 is a very good chip. Apple has hired an amazing team and resourced them well. But from a pure hardware perspective, the M1 is quite evolutionary. However the whole Apple Silicon experience is revolutionary and magical due to the tight software pairing.

Both teams deserve huge praise for the tight coordination and unreal execution.
What is a KOL?
Had Copland been a success, and UNIX like stacks would never have been a consideration at Apple's HQ, specially after A/UX failure.

Only thanks to the eminent insolvency, and reverse acquisition from NeXT did anything UNIX like had a say in Apple's business strategy.
All rights, positive and negative require the state to enforce them so if we were to accept your definition, the negative rights would not exist and the whole positive/negative qualification became moot. You are free to not recognize the existence of negative rights but then how can you argue over the distinction between positive and negative in a good faith?

> If someone else wants to put up dense housing on their parcels, their property, there is no negative-right violation against you.

That's another POV you are entitled to but the courts found otherwise in the Village of Euclid v. Ambler Realty Co.
What you said about 'need of proof' i agree with completely.

I guess my question came from ignorance then. I did not realize just how common these bursts are. I guess my imagination jumped in when i read the article. i saw a bunch of science types from a different part of the Bubble figure out that it would be more efficient to launch starbombs at a collapsing neutron star to create a binary calling card then seeding their galactic region with crafted objects. I love to tell stories, but i try to ground them in truth when i can. So i wanted to ask at what point does intended and controlled cosmic event start turning from a black marble into a white one [excellent concept delivery by the way]?
In 1979, I went to university to receive course advice in my chosen field, the adviser I got was trying fill the empty courses, not recommend what was best for me.

One of the courses was computer programming in Pascal, offered for the first time. There were several hundred students enrolled and they ran duplicate day and night sessions of the course.

The course was designed to make 'trial and error' programming as difficult as possible, so we would learn enough about the syntax to write working code straight up.

For the 250 odd students they had 8 card punch machines. You had to punch out your cards, wrap them up and put them in the mail to be run overnight, you went back to pick up your finished program the next day.

The 8 card punch machines were hammered 24/7 and by the end of the second week two broke down. A week later one of them would not punch the letter 'B'.

Unfortunately the course took up as much time as my other 3 subjects so I withdrew, but I did learn a lot about programming, especially when I bought a decent programmable calculator. I did go on to do a bit more programming but it wasn't my main job.
I thought you were joking, but I had to click anyway. You're right, this paper is fantastic. I thought Micken's stopped writing, I'm so glad he didn't.
This question may be a bit off topic, so I apologize. I don't work with Rust on anything except homebrew projects, so time is never really of the essence. At work, I use scripting languages (Python and Javascript - mostly Python). Is compile time anything except an annoyance, in the real world? Has it really run you up against such close deadlines that an hour of compile time is going to break the company so far as the projects that Rust is being used on?

Now, I will fully grant you, I enjoy Rust and like programming in it for fun, but have not kept up on what projects have been made in the wild and professional worlds with it, past Mozilla, TBH. I know a lot of companies are recruiting, but haven't seen much coalesce. Could be my ignorance, though.
This is simply an expression of "Deliberate Practice"
http://freakonomics.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/08/20/how-talente...

"""A while ago, we wrote a New York Times Magazine column about talent — what it is, how it’s acquired, etc. The gist of the column was that “raw talent,” as it’s often called, is vastly overrated, and that people who become very good at something, whether it’s sports, music, or medicine, generally do so through a great deal of “deliberate practice,” a phrase used by the Florida State psychologist Anders Ericsson and his merry band of fellow scholars who study expert performers in many fields.

As we wrote, there are at least three key elements to deliberate practice:

1. Setting specific goals.
2. Obtaining immediate feedback.
3. Concentrating as much on technique as on outcome.""""
20% time is not a myth. It varies through the company, but in general it really is 20% time, not 120% time. However as one person put it to me, "Nobody will give it to you, but you're free to take it." And certainly not everyone does take it.

That said, most of the 20% projects that I see are internal to Google. Also it is a work project done on work time with work resources, which means that your 20% project is automatically owned by Google. (That said, Google does encourage open source activity. So it isn't hard to work on 20% projects that are open source projects.)
I've long been fascinated with why people decide to do their 10,000 hours of practice.

Many people I know have talked the talk but then never really had the motivation to walk the walk and put in the effort.

Any ideas on what gives people the internal motivation and strength to follow through with practice in the first place?
Honestly I've always wondered why redmine, trac, et al don't already build their wiki on top of the vcs anyway, instead of using a separate database with tracking. Such a step seems counter-productive.
Thanks! The ingredient parsing is definitely not 100% accurate (it falls down completely on several sites). That ingredient screen that appears after submitting a url was supposed to be used for error correction. Users can quickly delete and edit ingredients before adding it to their list. You are right though, it does add an extra step before you can add another recipe url.

I'm currently using a naive bayes classifier for the ingredient extraction with some hand-crafted features. There's also an augmenting step that tries to exploit ingredient locality in the recipe doc to pick out ones that might have been initially missed.
It gets tricky because I'm in my second H-1B term. The H-1B has a maximum term of 6 yrs after which you need to go back for an year, unless you have a perm residency petition pending.

From what he says about USCIS picking on little details, I think setting up my own company and sponsoring an H-1B without revenues will be subject to audit for sure and could jeopardize my green card petition.

I'm going to talk to an immigration lawyer but from my past conversation or two, they say this is very hard to do without raising major flags.

All they had to say is: you can play Minecraft on this. Sold!
Closed technologies succumb. It is a lesson from history. Remember that 'default' browser that had 90% of the market and now has less than 10%? Remember that über successful smartphone company that owned the market with its propietary chat/email network? How about widely used programming languages and frameworks? Flash for cool web effects anyone? The web is open, open wins. No matter how monolithic a market leader is, if it can't figure out how to be open and make money: it will succumb.
The solution to this problem isn't technical, it's legislative. Legislate limitations on ads - several places do this, and they have a 'quieter' public experience. This solution requires electronics and power, and still doesn't change the amount of visual space taken by ads.

It's a nifty project, but ultimately it's attacking the symptom, not the cause.
That trope has a dual premise. First, compound interest is in play. Second, the beneficiary is not drawing on the account for living expenses.

If you can put $10 in an account at 3% interest and wait 200 years, you can take $3693.56 out. The key is not needing that money at all over a 200 year time span. The interest only accumulates on money that stays in the account.

Rich folks can afford to let money sit and gather interest. Poor folks spend all that they earn, if not more.

As a thought experiment, take two identical trust funds. Put $10M in one, and $20M in the other. Both grow at 4% per year. At the end of each year, the beneficiaries may withdraw up to 3% of the fund. The beneficiaries have similar tastes, and initially withdraw $250k. Each subsequent year, they draw 3% more, unless they hit the cap.

How many years before the larger fund grows from double to triple the size of the smaller? 25. It is four times the size after 42 years. It is 10x the size after 112 years. It takes 14 years for the less endowed beneficiary to hit the withdrawal cap, and 128 years for the other to reach it, at 10.64 times the size, spending 10.64 times as much per year, forevermore.

If your expenses grow more slowly than your investments, you will grow ever richer. If your spending grows faster than your income, such as for everyone in the US earning a wage or salary since 1970, you grow poorer.

We probably agree on what "isomorphism" is, but maybe not "support"?

If a platform claims to support isomorphism, I expect it to render server-side with zero drama/workarounds/blog posts. Support means that producing fully-rendered html is a core part of the product and documentation, not something glued on the side or pieces to reassemble on your own.

From the wording, it looks like Aurelia isn't there yet?
No doubt there, but your body can regulate its intake of Vitamin D when its produced by the skin. It can't regulate how much you ingest, so you risk taking too much and stressing your liver and kidneys.
Indeed. When CTOs and CEOs can't help but defer security fixes before anything else, since features matter now and security matters sometime later, how could the "common person" ever choose real security?

They might be scared into paying someone money to make the problem go away, like personal firewall and anti-virus (which as we know makes real applications break more than they block malware from working), or they'll do something therapeutic but useless, like some people used to run defrag every day.

I'm not sure exactly what will happen in the future, and besides ever bigger and more disruptive hacks, I'm sure we'll carry on somehow with sillier and sillier measures, adding layers to the ones that already don't really make sense if you think too hard. People always manage somehow.
For me? Not often. But home invasions are not uncommon throughout the world. I like to be prepared for events that may not happen everyday but have a high potential to be deadly if they do happen. Same reason you probably have a fire extinguisher in your house. How often does your house catch fire?
Perhaps, but then because it's strong AI, wouldn't it be capable of gathering and applying resources toward improving and reproducing itself? Even if it's very expensive and slow at first, theoretically it would be smart enough to work on making itself faster, cheaper, and better.

Perhaps I've seen too many science fiction movies, like Transcendence, but I thought that was basically what was meant by "strong AI."
Or, what if the interviewer explicitly challenged the interviewee to come up with an interview coding challenge? And perhaps even worked the challenge, with the interviewee hinting, helping, and evaluating? Maybe it would be a good way to demonstrate complete command of a subject, or the ability to think on one's feet, or even to evaluate the candidate as a teacher/leader of younger developers?
