Money cannons. How many trillions has the Fed bought in securities over the last year? Money has to go somewhere - and will eventually start blowing bubbles in weird asset classes.
It sounds like celebrities were given equity in an electronics company to promote it, and later decided to try to take control of the company when Apple expressed acquisition interest.
And what's your point pertaining to this discussion? Neither iPad nor iPhone are one of those devices.
The first few examples are fine. It's the unscaled ones later on, like "longarr[i] = (int) Math.random();" and especially "[Math.abs((int) Math.random()) % 3];" where the authors didn't notice that random() "returns a double value with a positive sign, greater than or equal to 0.0 and less than 1.0."

Here's another extreme example: (int) Math.random() / Integer.MAX_VALUE % (maxScoreCount + 1);

Does anyone have a link to the version where the Black Team member found a bug in rigourously (mathematically) proven code? edit Ah, here it is: http://www.penzba.co.uk/GreybeardStories/TheBlackTeam.html
In addition to the various tips and guides posted here, an important missing ingredient is actually putting in the time and effort on writing. In computer science, at least, I know many people who spend 4-8 months doing research and getting results, and then 1 week writing. This is incredibly foolish, because you're selling yourself short. It takes a lot of time and energy to write (and rewrite) well, and unless you're a top-notch writer, 1 week is not going to be enough.

It's just a matter of setting priorities -- writing should not be an afterthought. You may have done the best research in the world, but if no one can understand it easily from the paper, it won't matter. I try to spend a month writing and editing my papers (often going through 15-20 drafts) to make them as good as possible. It seems like a lot of time, until you realize that if your paper is not well-written, it's not going to be read and understood, and so you've lost 8 months of work, not 1 month.

The same thing applies to preparing presentations for academic conferences. Most talks are terrible, and so it's actually not that hard to make one that stands out. The main thing to remember in talks is that it's just an advertisement to get people to read your paper; it's not a substitute! From this, you can derive many of the rules for giving good talks: provide strong motivation and background, skip very technical stuff, have a polished presentation, keep it simple, don't be boring, etc.
I don't think that's the same problem. In an ssh session, you decrypt the data that is sent to you on your end, so you know the key it has been encrypted with (it is your public key after all).
Wasn't there some sort of bubbly thingamajig in tech that ended right about at the end of Clinton? Those numbers sound bubbly.

disclaimer, I agree with you, Clinton was great, I'm just not sure the tech market is what to focus on
I agree, it depends though. I think mostly the jokes manage to not offend, and offensive jokes are downvoted. There's not really so much misogyny as bias to side with the submitter. When someone says "my girlfriend cheated on me" everyone goes "dump that bitch/X that Y", but if a woman says "my boyfriend cheated on me", people will again say "dump that SOB".

It's not that they're against women, they're against whomever is not telling them their side of the story. It's only natural, if a friend tells you that their boy/girlfriend did something bad, you'll side with them, and so will the other party's friends. Usually both parties have a share of the responsibility, but it's human nature to usually take the side of the person who tells you the story.
One tip is to verbally allocate at the start how much time should be spent on specific topics. Everybody gets the point when you say, "Okay, we'll spend five minutes on x, ten minutes on y, and the rest of the meeting outlining z."

Another is to share material prior to the meeting, so that people are up to speed and there are no surprises.

I'm loving my Moto G, $180 unlocked. It is plenty powerful, but not very expensive, so I'm not paranoid about it getting broken.
>Remote does not necessarily imply international.

It does in Paul Graham's essay and OP's response to it. Again, we're losing sight of the thread's discussion. (Please read PG's essay that started this.)

PG's essay was about H1-B visas (recruiting foreign talent into the USA) and the OP (MA.TT) said the answer was remote workers. This means international remote workers that are 6+ to 12+ hours ahead in timezones.

We're not talking about hiring remote workers in Maine and Rhode Island to work as a distributed team for California companies. We're talking about remote workers in far off timezones like France, Japan, Australia, etc. I know of zero examples where the type of company that Y-Combinator likes to fund (e.g. billion-dollar ideas) was built with remote workers to the extent that the H1-B conversation can be rendered a moot point.

"autist" is generally regarded as derogatory, BTW.
I would say that RAII is enforced try-with-resources without the extra syntax and releasing memory when resources are released instead of having a garbage collector is a nice performance optimization. C# with "using var" is on the right track, though. Just make RAII default and explicit close/dispose the special case and add syntax for type-deduced immutable values, and I'd be happy.
Do you understand why the system is set up the way it is? By which I mean the actual financial mechanisms.
Interesting... this comment went from +20 to -1 upvotes
Switched to Brave Search - not looking back. I don't even care if the index sucks, it's been "good enough" and it has bangs.
The reason I asked is because parent user About says "I use this account for things I can't say: http://paulgraham.com/say.html".

His previous posts do not confirm the identity, but it does correlate with Paul Graham.

Indeed.

"Be helpful on the internet"

People will follow you if you are saying things that actually help them. The most effective way is probably teaching something, although sharing your "behind the scenes" story can work as well.

0-10: Start with friends. If you're on twitter for example, following your friends will get you your first few follow-backs

10-50: decide what you're going to be "about". Don't tweet/post about everything - pick ONE or TWO major topics, and just post about those, with the goal of _helping_ people. Share your knowledge. Then, start replying with helpful posts to other big names.

50-100: same as 10-50. Make sure your bio is hyper focused on your one or two topics, and that you post consistently, and with posts that provide a ton of value. Answer people's questions in public.

How I did it:

exactly the same as above until about 500 followers on twitter. Then I had a _giant_ follow event with the twitter thread "Learn React in 10 Tweets": https://twitter.com/chrisachard/status/1175022111758442497

After that (and gaining several hundred followers in a day, then several thousand in a few more days), it became easier to get engagement on posts. Continue to be helpful to people, and people will continue to follow.

I wrote about the process here too: https://chrisachard.com/triple-your-twitter-following
Agree, SMS just work, everywhere and always, with every mobile phone.
> Little players... would have zero chance

This is not entirely correct. It comes back to CTR (click thru ratio) and with the loss of 'targeting' then the CTR will plummet unless the platform reverts back to 'market targeting'. That is, websites will need to choose the class of ads on their websites, and the more irrelevant they choose, the less they'll get paid (because CTR will drop). So, from a small advertiser's perspective, they'll need to make sure their ads only appear on relevant websites (eg. tech on tech sites, milk shakes on food sites).

A one-man-show (eg a plumber's business) already knows that social ads work better for them anyhow. Maybe billboards and local classified ads will make a resurgence as a result.

Edit: I should add that Goog is already ahead of the targeting ads for the small local business, with their "my business" product, which allows you to search locally for businesses.
Well, time to sell my raspberry pi, another one who betray their users..

What alternative can you guys recommend?
I find it unsettling how one-sided the article is, if it's a "showdown" I expect the same effort to be put in JS side of things to maintain some pretense of fairness.
I no longer subscribe to the "words matter" philosophy, considering how fast and loose people on the left treat language in arguments. Remember when ICE was running "concentration camps"?

> because "races" don't exist anywhere on earth other than in the US

Race doesn't exist, except when it does for BIPOC or when talking about the concept of Blackness or whiteness. You're probably thinking, those aren't races those are ethnicities! But what does it matter? These are terms used to separate people into groups and even if you switch the words the concept remains.

If you're saying I'm using Race/Ethnicity incorrectly just know that on every form I have ever filled out about demographics race was a choice from "African, Asian, Caucasian, etc." and Ethnicity was only two options, "Hispanic/Latino or Non Hispanic/Latino".
That is an interesting anecdote.
Here is another - No engineers I've worked with cared about guns at all.
And some of them will be re-hired in the same fields but to do those jobs that are not bullshit because of course some middle management jobs, advertising, etc., are useful.

It might also allow people to take jobs that are currently not done because they have low status or are simply regarded as uninteresting by employers.

I can easily imagine someone being willing to be a street cleaner if they had enough leverage to ensure that it was not a grindingly horrible job.
"I thought that antirasism basically mean opposite of obsessing about race in any way."

Bless your heart.
Yes, it certainly wouldn't be "less" of a welfare state than the European countries you're referencing, that's pretty obvious. I don't think proponents of it are claiming otherwise.

I'm not sure what you mean by convoluted though. To me it seems much less convoluted to the existing patchwork welfare we have in this country.
That's exactly right. The commenter is saying that by doubling down (gambling reference: betting more on your possibly untrue theory) on woke ideas, they are increasing the madness in society to a maximum level (the commenter is also potentially implying it can't be increased further, because society may break).

Recruiting is proving insanely difficult right now. We are based just outside of London and have been offering "local remote" (1 day in week office generally) for about 4 years now. Candidates were always hard to attract (salary and office location) but offering remote work 4 days a week really helped. Now, that perk is now a norm so access to even remotely (no pun intended) skilled candidates is next to impossible.
Read Only Fridays is a real thing.
Assuming someone forces Google to do that in Chrome (which is pretty much the only way it would happen), how about calling it "Forgetful Mode." Because by turning it on you're telling the browser not to remember where you've been. I don't know if that would fully clear up the central misconception here, namely that in that case the only person not gathering data about your browsing is you. But at least it hints at it. When it's turned on, you're basically wandering around forgetting where you've been; hence maybe the icon should be an old man hunched over with a cane and little dots and curliques surrounding his head indicating a diffuse cognitive state!
Money is not the main issue. Iran is, and the Gulf states made the leap when they could maximize their ROI, just before the US elections.

The Abraham accords are the legacy of the Trump admin and I think it’s a very good one.
It was probably removed for being inaccurate. If using blue shop towels worked as well, then manufacturing N95s would be a lot simpler.
The closest I came to an SGI machine was an N64, so I would be interested in hearing the stories. What did consolidating the SGI boards get you? Didn't that cause thermal issues?

Are Presidio and "the death star" you referenced above related to RenderMan? I've done research on hardware for image processing (https://aetherling.org/), so it's interesting to hear about these systems.
Is the fact that it's a very stable and robust kernel that evolved over different means, with different priorities and expectations not enough?

The kernel itself is very interesting, regardless of what happened in the Linux world. If all you ever look at is Linux, you get stuck in Linux ideas of how things should, or even can, be done.
Can someone explain this to me like I'm a 31 year old?
The Linux community is hugely varied. What part of the community do you mean? If you feel that particular part of the community isn't serving you, then there must be a distro that caters to you.
Well..

> Apple’s most recent earnings report revealed that it earned $12.51B from Services in calendar Q3/fiscal Q4, though there is no breakdown on how much of this comes from ad revenue.

Notice the 'could's:

> Samik Chatterjee argued the company could leverage the millions of users who search its App Store and Safari browser daily to generate the stellar growth seen by Facebook and Google in recent years.

> he launch of Apple TV+, coupled with Apple Inc’s foray into digital services, could help the company increase its income from advertising by more than five fold to $11 billion annually

This article is literally just speculation. Actually, it's quoting someone's speculation.

Because I've built up a presence over 10 years of running the site, so, I'm not just about to move! It'd be a huge pain to move probably hundreds of email addresses over to a new domain etc too (I sign up with [domain]@snowpool.org)

It completely depends on what they do, I've renewed for 10 years so I have time now, if they put the fees to >500 a year then I'll definitely move.

Do you own a domain yourself that people have been using for 10 years? You might feel differently about the ease of "just moving"

Absolutely nothing could ever possibly go wrong with streaming your real-time heart rate and blood pressure to Facebook while you're scrolling through your feed.
But that has nothing to do with the dam itself. That should be regulated by the state authorities. Living close to rivers in such fragile places is not a good idea.

Eh,this is just due to linguistic ambiguity. The syntax of Mathematics (as a language) is used to describe relationships and properties that are discovered.
This is a benefit of Oil, and part of the reason for it! I don't think having a hard "fork" between POSIX/bash and another shell is desirable.

So Oil is almost indistinguishable from bash at first, but you can unlock more powerful functionality with the var and proc keywords, etc.

This page has the old sh and new Oil idioms, but importantly Oil runs all the old stuff!

You might be interested to dig deeper around the archive and see what they're doing. Each record is transferred using four different styli, and then an engineer at GB picks which recording to use as the example - but all four are in the archive.

They have a video up about the process too - https://archive.org/details/mass78rpmdiscdigitization
You can fuel a Humvee with JP-8, which is jet engine fuel. It's been a long time, but I remember there being problems if you switched fuels -- if you had been using regular truck diesel and switched to JP-8 you could have engine problems because you'd still have some residual truck diesel mixing with the JP-8.
It's on a per state basis, and sometimes per county. There's no inspection in Ohio, but an annual one is required in Pennsylvania. Also in certain counties of Pennsylvania, an emissions test is required for anything that's not a heavy duty truck. I wish they would require them for everything because I have to hold my breath every time a dump truck comes by.

Source: I have an appointment for car inspection this morning.

Edit: certain counties
On a machine with enough memory, this is an unnecessary optimization. In most use cases, Nginx will be serving a number of static assets from disk in addition to the cached files, and allowing for more memory to be used on the OS' disk cache will make the entire site more responsive.
While I agree here with you, it's not only the inheritance that saboatages this reward mechanism. It's also the capital gains. If we were to value hard work and real contribution, then income / salary tax should be much lover that capital gains tax. We should just value human effort more.
Have you considered energy? We need to switch 87% of our energy sources over the next 40 years in order to stop climate change[1]. It's a ridiculously huge problem that is going to be extremely lucrative for cleantech software companies.

I think the one big distinction between IRC and email which made the latter gain massive popularity is that theoretically (i.e. spam-prevention and other blocking notwithstanding), any email you send from one address' provider/domain can reach any other email address. This means people can publish an email address and anyone else is able to easily contact them. The server that gets mailed is even specified in the DNS system - MX records. With IRC, you basically have to be on the same network to chat, and there's no way to publish an "IRC server address" in the DNS.

I have a feeling that if DNS had this capability, and "IRC addresses" became standardised in the same way as emails (e.g. nick!irc.example.com), allowing anyone to use it with the same universality as email, the story might be very different today.
I think advertising makes more sense for Google - they have a number of products, and are always releasing new ones, so advertising is as much branding as it is informing.

For Facebook, however, it's just branding - everybody knows what Facebook does (and the ads are just that - "keep friends").

It's not lying, come on. 99.9% of people will see it as being unlimited. The person who decides to create a megaupload clone and use it to store petabytes worth of stuff that is constantly reading and writing is not what personal unlimited storage is meant for.
The origins of this code come a bit before jQuery.. when libraries commonly extended existing structure prototypes... Some of those became the basis for the additional methods (map/reduce/filter etc) on Array, and others. JavaScript is very flexible which is a blessing and a curse.

I've been a fan of JS since pretty early on... the DOM differences between IE and NN were really horrible to deal with in the v4 browser days, and until jQuery didn't start to get much better really, where today you really don't need jQuery. It's an evolution here... If you're willing to use transpilers you can go anywhere you like... from BabelJS to ClosureScript, TypeScript, CoffeeScript or others... you can get the style you like.

npm + browserify (or webpack) have made developing modern web applications a dream compared to the past.

Don't worry about the instruction, worry about dest, src. If they:

- Are in cache

- Were touched by a previous instruction (regardless of cache)

- Their cache line was touched by a previous instruction

- Will be read/write (immediately) after that instruction

- You're accessing data shared by multiple cores (lock prefix)

timing will vary
