My intent was just to help clear the misconception. Sometimes people say things that sound flippant when they lack an understanding.
I'm generally satisfied by ZSH inline options summary, but I'm happy to see a sane instantiation of this, it clearly fits a need. Thanks for the pointer (and sorry for the troll :/).

Holy poop that was amazing
Systemd is winning because it’s clearly a lot better than the alternatives.

Red Hat didn’t force it on any other distro. A majority of major distro makers chose it because it works really well for their purposes.
I think this is just happening because their SSL cert is invalid.

Both Chrome and Firefox give me a deceptive site warning and then Firefox tells me the SSL cert is invalid.
I fail to see why you need cycles' support for that.
Ditto. I wonder if that can be remedied by preloading a page or two and holding it for when the user hits the next page
I find it a bit alarming and surprising that there aren't documented, repeatable processes for how to treat common diagnoses and disorders wholistically. Although my surprise is tempered when I think of the arrogance of almost every doctor I've come into contact with - and that's quite a few: an uncommonly persistent neurologist found my pituitary tumour when I was 12 after several others decided I was probably just making up my headaches because I didn't want to exercise.

I've dealt with many other specialist and GPs since then and there's always that omniscient, arrogant attitude from them, especially when they don't have an easy answer for you. I've also watched a few people go through medical school and seen them gradually become like this as well.

It's a world apart, but IT and software development practices have matured over the last 10+ years and have been forced (sometimes catalysed by business requirements e.g. Sarbanes Oxley) to adopt standards, practices and more thorough documentation than previously.

Personally for me it's a narcissistic thrill thinking that you can invent something brand new or solve some problem that someone else couldn't. For me then, the standardisation, extra documentation and the increasing amount of lego-brick style clicking together of existing pieces of wizardry that someone else has built have made IT less exciting.

Of course I could go build an incredible open source something or other in my own time but narcissism is about _delusions_ of grandeur, not actual grandeur ;)

So the bush I'm beating around is that maybe personal and collective arrogance of medical practitioners has blocked this kind of thing being implemented before?

Eastern cultures are much less individualistic - they seem to rely much less on individuals to creatively and independently figure things out in so many fields and situations, preferring to defer to tradition, or predefined rules, or an authority.

I'm not saying doctors are irresponsibly arrogant, they do amazing work, most are thoughtful, compassionate and insanely dedicated people who commit their entire lives to what they do.

But is the mindset that the rarefied world of medicine and its practitioners being so important and sophisticated that every situation requires years of education and experience to manage holding it back?
You sound awfully pushy, and can't you just take a hint? I have been not called back by women, customers, partners, and everyone else. They have expressed interest and left me hanging.

At first, you be persistent, and you get more dates and more contracts because of it. But you also learn when to take a hint, and Apple gave you several.
Oh ok, now it makes sense.

You might want to say like storage device instead of cache, that would have made it less confusing for me to understand from reading the wiki.

It also seems like the system is just begging for caches to go missing (though I understand that as all the files are encrypted, it should be hard in theory to actually get data if you arent authorized access to sneakernet).

Are you hashing the files all the time to make sure that files aren't getting corrupted in transit or when taken from someones external cache?
This is a very good point. One of the most common questions that startups get is "why can't big company Y do X?" and yet time and time again startups succeed in such a space. Of course there are cases where company Y does do X, notably Amazon, Twitter and Facebook. So I think the question or answer needs to reflect the history of the particular companies in question.

And even then. A lot of times Company X does implement Y and it doesn't kill or even slow the startup down. There are probably many reasons behind this. Fundamentally though I think people should just stop asking this question. Or not treat it as such a big deal. Because it's not in the grand scheme of things.
Think of the growing pains twitter could have avoided if they had hardcore experienced java/scala people from the beginning.
Have you tried consulting? I can recognise a lot of what you describe in myself, and as a fellow recently enlightened ADHD (though I dislike the term) person who has spent quite a few years working in this type of environment, I can totally see why it's a really good fit. Some of the biggest firms are starting to recognise this and are targeting their marketing towards folks like us:

It's not all roses of course. Happy to share my experience, if useful.
"In other words, if superintelligent machines prove capable of everything except consciousness in this enlarged sense, could our descendents become endosymbionts, or sentient organelles, in our technology? Might future humans find that their only purpose and function within larger biomechanical constructs (including spaceships) is their useful capacity for feeling and perhaps higher consciousness or ecstasy? Is late capitalism itself already such a machine? Giger’s world shows us this dark threat of cyborg endosymbiosis: not to be simply augmented by machines (or even simply replaced by them) but to be parasitized and engulfed by them in a kind of numbed ecstasy that somehow masks the violence being done.

how are you solving the 2 factor authentication by RBI ?
There are many points worth of discussion in your comment. I just pick one for now. The details of the architects work.

I am no architect, so all I think about it can be true or false. But what I remember from an architect friend is that an architect's work is not really that detailed. It's like the photoshop mockup of a website, not like its source code. It doesn't say exactly which materials should be chosen or how many screws should be used to connect two ends. An architects design says "There is a wall x cm thick and y cm long". The source code says "There z bricks and the last one we had to cut to n cm" (sometimes a comment will state why it had to be cut). For the source code it is to some degree by accident the amount of bricks creates something that can be called a wall.
Programs often make time vs memory tradeoffs. In some cases, it is even possible for them to adjust these tradeoffs during runtime.

The most common example is is file-system caches. Pretending (for the sake of argument) that the kernel did not automatically cache the file-system, a program may reasonably make this optimization [1]. In this case, the program can easily release some memory by clearing its cache.

You could also be running a program with garbage collection that normally wouldn't bother doing a full sweep until it hit some memory usage threshold; again, it can do this on request.

I'm sure that people can come up with other examples.

[1] In fact, a program can request that the kernel not cache its file-system requests, in which case it would have actual reason to cache what it thinks it might need again.

> Do you know / can recommend companies with neurodiversity programs?

It's very easy for companies to set up something like this for the sake of appearances, I would advise against selecting your employer based on this.
The whole point of the article is that Gates' efforts focus on singular diseases, as opposed to investing in healthcare infrastructure that can support predictable, systemic outbreaks of new diseases.

Then again, it's much easier for Gates to elevate his status as a philanthropist by investing in projects that can come up with sexy headlines like "we saved X million people from AIDS!"

I almost half think there must be a way to bring them back, but I keep coming around to yet another js widgety social media service thing which would probably just wind up evil.

And people wouldn't even use it because it would probably break their SEO or something. But "I like this site - show me another one like it, but make it go in a circle" seems like an idea that should be able to get traction even now.

Maybe as a browser plugin. I don't know.
Yeah Matlab is Matlab. You are locked in to them or try to use an attempt of compatible runtime.

Far from desirable and this is probably Wolfram's wet dream.

I doubt it will happen though.

This can be considered a commercial success, although it's pretty much a failure for the user, the student, academia, ... everybody else.
> the probability of someone from the pool of N investors getting beating the market 39/47 years is N * 0.5 ^ 47.

No, that's wrong. If the original performance had been an unbroken sequence of successful years, say, 39, it would be possible to apply the binomial theorem to it, but the binomial theorem would need to be applied both to the original probability and to the calculation of how many investors would be needed to create a better-than-even prospect of that outcome.

But the 39 successful years were randomly distributed among years where the performance wasn't better than market indices, which makes the probability much higher for it being explainable by chance -- how much higher depends on the actual pattern, which I wasn't able to find.
I didn't say they can't prove the phone belongs to you. They cannot prove that you know or remember the decryption key.

What I love about this is it's less an alternative of Soylent and more an alternative for the terrible meal replacement bars at the convenience store. Those are packed with sugar or sugar alcohols and rarely have oats or other ingredients I prefer. Although MealSquares does have a sizeable amount of sugar, I can't wait to try MealSquares if it's a decent price since I like the ingredient profile otherwise.

Edit: Price looks to be fair.
Hi Gleb!

Your words strengthen my faith in meritocratic world! That's excatly how do I feel it too. But it was important to me to hear it from someone else. Thank you very much.
The sheer majority of 'professional journalism' consists of:

1. Rewording press releases from industry/government. The actual writers of this content are being paid by industry/government, and the content itself is essentially an ad.

2. Soap opera designed to provoke fear or controversy, both "political" and not (see #1)

3. Emotional tourism fluff pieces to steal attention (see my original comment)

4. Pumping the latest startup fad (see #1)

5. Self-important circle jerks about the 'knowledge economy' and other superiority-assured deck chair distractions on the USSG (see #1)

6. Rewording of actual information that was not created by a journalist to be "more accessible", with the end result being a distorted oversimplification. This is essentially a subcase of #3 where the emotion is superficial "understanding".

7. Direct copying ("excerpts") of other 'professional journalism' with a link back, ad infinitum.

So no, I'm not terribly worried about losing something we don't actually have.

The occasional story that has genuine public interest (eg the hard facts about NSA) would be reported by concerned parties anyway. I doubt many of those ad views are paying the actual reporter, Snowden, who acted out of moral imperative. And while I'm happy the journalist middlemen are working to keep public attention on this subject, this is only necessary from being in a zero sum game with the above. These middlemen are actually delaying, redacting, and muddling specific technical facts on the current state of NSA's malevolence that would be quite nice for us to know.
Designers need to get out of Photoshop and into the browser as early as possible in the design process.

Agreed, this is why we went with whole foods. I was already basically eating the ingredient list of MealSquares everyday.

Bernie Madoff harmed non-consenting individuals.
Can confirm, async programming - whether done with callbacks/promises/sugar is tangential here - is a conceptual stumbling block for some at first, and that includes smart programmers who haven't done much in terms of Web or GUI programming. Add the concept of static scoping and closures and you have a few things to absorb first, before you get comfortable. It has to click.

Reminds me of stochastics in school, which was a subject that wasn't immediately natural for some who were otherwise very good at math in general.

For me it's bit fiddling for example: I bought Hacker's Delight some months ago and first had to really work through even the most basic things on paper until it stopped to feel like magical hieroglyphs.
That's too expensive, there are plenty of cheaper options available out there.
They won't offer you a filesystem like rsync.net does, its mainly object storage.

For example you can have 2TB for a fraction of that cost - pcloud for instance.

Strange that they are now offering lifetime accounts, giving their stand on it in the past - https://blog.kozubik.com/john_kozubik/2009/11/flat-rate-stor...
This is a significant tailwind for the next wave of electronification that we're hoping to advance. US swap dealers, for example, now have a SEF reporting requirement, but most of the pre-trade is still in the screens. A Smart Market that allows dealers to control for non-price factors could change that.
Its in my diary. What sort of clean up?
That isn't what I did. I criticized a statement made by a public figure in context.

He's trying to make it seem like he, as a rich and influential person his entire adult life through the back half of the 20th century, is not culpable for the mess that needs mopping. He thinks that saying words now will have people forget his inaction.
He probably used IFTTT.
Additionally when you work on something that is used by a lot of people or machines, you get to see that memory and disk problems actually happen a lot in terms of raw numbers. Multiply a tiny, miniscule percentage by a lot of runs and they surface.

It is tough to not get overconfident in this diagnosis. If your code happens to see hardware problems on a routine basis, and a real bug surfaces, it is very challenging to not dismiss the latter for the former. It likely took impressive work to diagnose this as far as they have.
> First, what is the environment like for exiting high-level former-FANG employees?

For most employers, it will be a positive. There may be a handful of very small startups that see it as a negative, but the reality is a very small startup is so different from a giant tech firm that the hiring team is probably correct in assuming you've never had to do something incredibly arduous without enormous support (I once had to spend 6 months reverse engineering a video output because our customer refused to tell us what it was - I ended up finding a clue on a Russian blog and I translated it with Google - this is the sort of shit you will do at an actual hard-tech underfunded startup. And if you care, it turned out to be a proprietary video signal invented in the 80s that had long since been abandoned by almost everyone so I then had to build a fucking circuit to decode it).

> Second, what are some of the surprises post-FANG that I would be in for if I wanted to start a company?

Your reputation will help you with investors, but it will not help you with reality. Starting a company is much harder than you think it is - no matter how hard you think it is; it's harder. That thing I said above about reverse engineering a proprietary video signal because our customer was impossible? That was one of the most enjoyable parts of my job.

If you want to start a company, and you're able to do so (don't put your family savings into jeopardy over this), go for it! Just realize it's not going to be anything like a giant tech firm, where you don't realize they actually do 99% of the job for you. It will be far more rewarding. It will be far more stressful. There is an extraordinarily high chance of failure. You will likely make friends with new peers, and likely ruin some relationships in the process.

The best advice I can give anyone that wants to start a company: ask yourself why do you want to start a company? If the reason is anything other than "there is this huge problem that needs to be solved and I know a way to do it!" then you are chasing a bandwagon of the glory that comes from being a successful technology entrepreneur, and aren't actually building a company with any value behind it.
You can use op-amps to build circuits that add/subtract voltages, scale by a constant, integrate, differentiate. You can combine these to model differential equations. And yes, you can build the equivalent circuits on a breadboard.

They didn't just start shouting out into the world about their features and efforts.

They didn't just sugar-coat that self-promotion with forced jokes (looking at you, Slack).

They first designed their voice — subtly self-deprecating, but from a place of struggling to one's best, without forced jokes (even though it's totally intentionally funny).

This is brilliant.
They are throwaway for a reason.
Not sure it would matter if the CC was closed or not. If you're running a Lambda a few times a day you would fall into the free tier for... ever until they change the free tier.

So the question would be does your account stay active despite an expired credit card which is never invoked cos you never put your account into debt?
So you agree that the employer is a criminal, but we're yet to see any action against the remaining criminals.

Which of the above, as defined by the relevant parties (the Congress (UCMJ) and the Federal courts) is he not going to benefit from?

Civilian juries are based on English civilian common law juries. I would strongly suspect military court-martial juries have the same basis, although Wikipedia notes "Members of a court-martial are commissioned officers, unless the accused is a warrant officer or enlisted member and requests that the membership reflect their position by including warrant or enlisted members."
I am rather surprised that they (seemingly) didn't use a 5GHz 802.11n network. N suffers from some reliability issues as well, but the channels are much more spread out and much less utilized (the MiFi doesn't support it, last I checked), so it theoretically wouldn't have degraded nearly as much if they had used a high-mW antenna to try to cut the distance issues 5GHz suffers from.
In what way isn't it awesome? It's faster, smaller, brighter, screenier, cameraier, videoier, batterier, storagier, more sensor laden, better looking, and runs better more useful software.

I agree that it's not spouting a coffee filter and electric razor, but strongly disagree that you can step to "not innovative" "meh, useless catchup".

One part of not being measured at features/$ checklist is not being measured at -$ per lack of never seen before feature.

You've seen the Netflix announcement, now take a look at this:

http://lonelysandwich.com/post/662129889/ipad-tv

1 day ago that was posted, today we have a HD camera, iMovie and videophone announcement on a device with an upgraded screen, and talk of working with carriers for videophoning (i.e. transmitting video over the cellular networks).

This "no innovation" device might not need a USB hoover attachment to be a cornerstone piece for turning another major industry upside down in a way that others could not mostly by virtue of lots of integration, evolutionary changes and a pleasant enough UI that people wont resist.
Maybe this is why Intel give us F2XM1 (2^x - 1) as an opcode instead of, what would seem to be more useful, 2^x? Still - it requires a lot of thought from the programmer to realise he might gain some precision by removing pows and exps and splitting them up to avoid precision loss - and even more to make the jump to assembler in order to do it.
I agree with you -- that's a better way of putting it. Does it change anything? I'm American, a very large majority of the people I talk to on the phone use iPhones to do so. I suspect there are many others like me out there. That is why I am speculating this will "actually work".
Presumably it's lower amount of memory wouldn't work well with features like multitasking.
Anyone know when iPhone 4.0 will be available to download.

As a bootstrapped developer I ran OS 4.0 through the first 3 betas, but as noted by apple do so at your own risk. I had some issues with beta 3 so Ive been waiting for an official version, before upgrading to 4.0 again. I just checked developer page and it still says the latest beta 4 well is in still in beta. I guess they release the official version around same time phone comes out?
If Facetime comes to the iPad, ie. if/when it get's a camera. Then I think we'll see a many more people using video chat.
I'll read it thanks!

This was my thought too. The other legs don’t just stay the same as you turn it. What if one of them is now off the ground or too far into the ground?
make -j will do it, but having played around a bit via machines on packet.net, RAM is the limiting factor.
