As I see it, you are the one that thinks him some sort of automaton who must always be making the most logical conclusion from the evidence available to him. The slightest fault there seems to cause you to to jump to the other absurd extreme.

He's not perfect, obviously. Joining the army when he did was stupid as hell just for staters, I don't think we disagree there. Does that lapse in judgement signal a broader permanent disability of some sort that will follow him for the rest of his life? People change, you should know that.

If he says that he decided that the war was objectionable after he joined, I believe him. I have no reason not to, nothing about somebody changing their mind conflicts with my mental model of normal people with agency of their own. Normal people with their own agency can change their mind, that isn't suspicious.
I agree. Is this a phone that I can:

1. Hold to my ear when a call arrives, without unplugging the video cable to my screen?

2. Wave around without fear of it falling and shattering to bits, taking most of my digital life with it (unless I'm using cloud/NSA)?
I knew of eclim, which was to much hassle set up for me. Didn't have to use eclipse too much in the last years, but have to come back to it now. This was perfect timing.
Many years, and still impressing. I wonder if similar projects exist for other languages (preferably, without a use of `eval()` and friends).
The US has this as well, albeit to a lesser degree. The employer-side FICA is around 7%, and is paid directly by the employer, rather than deducted from your paycheck.
Seems to be fixed now.

Quick work by the github guys, kudos.

For those who missed it, the title attribute inside commit messages in the file list wasn't HTML encoded.
I see. It understood it like you were looking for someone that fits you. It didn't occur to me it could mean you're looking for someone that is fit. But I thought "fit" could be applied to males also.
Maybe the fear of sharks prevents people from getting themselves into situations where they would be killed by one. My takeaway is that I need to start cultivating a healthy fear of pigs.
After most elected Republicans and Democrats voted for EESA in 2008 (against the wishes of their constituents by 100:1 or more) and after Bush's PATRIOT Act and Obama's decision to renew it, it should be apparent that the major political parties are functionally identical and not interested in their voters.

Dividing people along party lines distracts from the issues while changing nothing. The issue here is net neutrality.
Wwwwow. The Boehm-Demers-Weiser GC can't move objects because, you know, C is gnarly and you can't really trust anything to update pointers in-place. But what if you could? This work seems to indicate that you could have a compacting collector with arbitrary C programs, given the extra hooks they added to Linux (http://lwn.net/Articles/392307/).

Azul continues to impress.
Indeed. I'm hopeful that the concurrent GC will get it to the point where it can do a lot better than that "10ms out of every 50" promise in 1.4. If not, then well, I guess we will have learned that Go isn't great for games after all.

/me crosses fingers.
That generally works, although in some cases it makes a difference whether two hosts are on the same tld; at the very least, it implies a connection between the two that may not always make sense (why is aggressor.example.com attacking victim.example.com?).
Absolutely true. We need a culture where management is done by engineers.

This means we need to step up as engineers and start becoming managers.

But we also need to refuse to work for managers who are incompetent.

IF you're a programmer and you're reporting to someone who is not the CEO and is not an engineer, then you need to find another job and tell them why.

Time to stop working for startups run by CEOs who have nothing more than a business degree. IF the CTO is a competent engineer and the CEO has some domain expertise that's fine.

At amazon my boss, literally, had wanted to be a prison guard and gone to school for that. He was a terrible manager. They didn't even hire engineers to be managers, they just got these random incompetents. His boss was right out of the DMV. It was that way all the way up the chain of command to bezos. When nobody between you and the CEO, including the CEO, is a competent engineer, you're not going to be managed well. (and Amazon's software quality reflects that, despite the constant hype the site is a tragedy of bad design.)
>stuff like this is apparently more valuable than defeating aging, fixing our economy in fundamental ways, or making life mulitplanetary.

It's not. Groupon is worth $5 billion. Any of those things would be worth trillions.
Any time you are dealing with an open gas line, you want a professional to deal with it.
There's 0% safe and 100%, for everything else it's equal?

FDIC is tested and backed by something beyond corporate assurances about insurance policies.

Does that policy pay out upon bankruptcy?

Agreed. Diversify. But, US banks are still demonstrably lower risk (with stipulations) thanks to FDIC than, currently, a bitcoin exchange.
The point isn't really Groupon, the point is that VCs and other investors are commonly thought of as chasing shiny, stupid things. But in the case of Groupon, public-market investors overvalued Groupon and in that way acted like our caricature of dumb, credulous, bubble-agitating VCs.
Problem: No one is hiring people with degrees
Proposed Solution: Spend more money on education so that more people have degrees.

How does this make any sense? Shifting supply to the right will only reduce the equilibrium wage.
Education is provided by state and local governments. Your sources are all federal. Mine adds up federal, state and local numbers.

Military spending is also negligible if we focus only on city government. So what?
I am mistaken. I apologize.
This is awesome. I have much faith that Peter will create some good passionate programmers in our field.
We actually spend about 70 billion on education.

You have a very narrow definition of "we", which apparently only includes the federal government. It's true - if you focus solely on the branch of government which is not responsible for education, you find low spending on education.

Also, Chantrill may be biased, but he also cites his sources. Specifically, the census and the CBO. I refer to his site because he combines both state and federal numbers.
No, you left it unprotected so you didn't need to spend CPU cycles decrypting it, even though you really didn't want to.
NFTs really have a brain virus to them that it's hard to understand until you buy your first ones and kick around in the communities. Nothing new under the sun so I'm sure there are beanie baby, wine, fine art meetups and communities too but the hyper-charged and Internet nature of NFTs and crypto really creates an interesting phenomenon. Doesn't mean it's a good idea to ape into them, but it's certainly curious.
The operating system is basically irrelevant in Oxide's case, it's relegated to a hypervisor with a few web APIs. But they have a very narrow set of hardware they need to support and a lot of desire to hack on the kernel so it makes some sense that they would pick something they're familiar with.
There are a few things that can happen, irrespective of how “perfect” your work is:

Silence. The world ignores you and your work. It never makes frontpage or gets starred by more than a handful of people. This is not a problem my itself. Unless your work is transient, it’ll help you compound. You’ll build on it, and if something you make later is useful people will still find the early work by association.

Soul crushing criticism. Many people will point out that the work is crap, should not exist, or that you are crap, or that you should not exist. You can ignore the last two, and read and take lessons from the first two. Don’t fall into the trap of “oh the world does not understand my genius!” feelings, sometimes the crowd does know more than you, and sometimes you have an intersection of specialised knowledge and you know more than the crowd. Develop the wisdom to know the difference and the confidence to accept either conclusion.

Being hailed as a genius in your own time. Some people will think you or your work are the best thing since sliced bread. If they think that about your work, thank them, enjoy the compliment, and then forget about it as quickly as possible. Everything you do till you die is a first draft, you and/others will build on it and remix it. If you rest on your laurels or let praise define you, you’ll get stuck. And receiving a different response for later work will be so much more difficult to handle.

All of this easier to handle if you create all of your work for your own satisfaction as an end itself. Criticism and appreciation are simply signals from the outside world, like songs on the radio, you can do with them what you will. But it will all fade to silence. When you yourself finally fade to the void, only the question of whether you stayed true to your potential will matter. But that answer will also pass from this world.
Nope, it's written correctly as-is. Probably the "time to tests pass" is about equal, but the iteration and maintenance is far better in Rust.
It shows I have many containers running, but they are actually all in state 'exited'.
The editor's response reveals a lot about her understanding (or lack thereof) of the business she's in. Normally I'm willing to overlook small typos in blog posts -- but when you are an editor, and you are writing an important response on an important issue, it's not wise to get the punctuation wrong on the very first word. (It should be "it's sad", not "its sad".)

That she continues not to use apostrophes throughout the post and gets other things wrong ("I never ment to hurt"), pretty much sends the message that "I don't really know what I'm doing" and "I just don't really care." If, as an editor, she doesn't understand basic rules of punctuation, then is it any surprise that she doesn't understand copyright?

If, as she claims, the magazine is going to go out of business, the real culprit is the editor's lack of knowledge about the business she's in.

After all, we wouldn't feel sorry for a chef who had to close his restaurant after it was revealed that he was violating health codes. Why should we feel sorry for an editor who still doesn't understand copyright, even after having gone through this whole episode?
Gabe Suarez (don't know him personally, haven't trained with him, just read some of his stuff) was always fond of telling people to avoid the 'three stupids'.

Don't hang out with stupid people. Don't do stupid things. Don't go to stupid places.

Do that, wear a seatbelt (or a helmet if you ride) & you're 99.99% of the way to a safe life.
It would have been hard for the people you speak of to obtain a job at Zappos in the first place.
Bleary-eyed I didnt notice it was copy written and reordered some of it.

Copyright is the default, not the exception. Unless there's an explicit declaration that copying is OK (e.g. Creative Commons, other licenses), you should assume you can't copy it.

She gets no sympathy from me. In fact, her comments just push me further from her side.
That kind of fluke thing could have just have easily have happened to the 'nice guy', and he would be the dead one right now. Its not clear who in your story was the aggressor, but there is no shame in defending yourself. And of course, violence is always the last option.
"Speaker for the Dead" might make it. Also, following the theme of more philosophical aspects of exploring new planets, "Solaris" could be a good choice too. Both books are classics ("Solaris" of a literature in general, not only of sci-fi) so it wouldn't hurt knowing them even if they are not exactly what you asked for.

Résumé/CV: http://www.willbaker.info/about/willbaker-resume.pdf

Email: w@desaturate.net

Website: http://www.willbaker.info

I'm a multidisciplinary designer looking for an in-house gig after years of freelancing. Before freelancing, I led creative and product design at a few different startups. I've designed custom ecommerce platforms, sales/analytics dashboards, a CRM, a shoppable chat app, a WYSIWYG site builder, countless marketing and business websites, and plenty more.

I like building robust design systems to solve complex problems simply and efficiently. I have managed teams, but am presently more interested in a senior contributor position than a managerial one.
Highly intriguing. Perl is a solid language that has really held firm ground for scripting but has been over taken by the likes of ruby in the web. Its nice to see the emergence of an mvc framework to help in its popularity and further growth. I for one will definitely be trying this and comparing with my current implementations in ruby.
Anglocentric reporting at its best.

You'd have to make enough over time (accounting for growth) to make up for the cost of the DVD players (and video capture cards or PCs) and the cost of the DVDs themselves, plus operating costs. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they're running a few token DVD players and the rest streaming from a server (artificially limiting play count) in the hopes that they can buy time and traffic to work out some kind of deal with the movie companies.

If you regard how much hassle you have to go through to make to browsers align a couple of images correctly in the same manner, I think the excitement about this kind of feature is warranted (provided it will work in every browser...)
Should I find it unusual that an expensive, exclusive and showy gadget with very poor features and terrible usability is feted so highly by Apple fans?

I know the only difference from usual is the extreme lack of usability but wasn't that supposed to be the important bit?

I do like the idea of keeping them regular forms as it feels more future proof than cljx style expressions.
It seems there are two books with the same title but different subtitles. Are you referring to "A Guide to Growing More Profitably" or " A Guide to Profitable Decision Making"?
I doubt it actually has a holographic display; I assume that processing power of those glasses isn't enough and current display don't have high enough resolution yet. But then again the following description could be a holographic display (or it could be a description of antireflective coating -- those dumbed down explanations are sometimes worse than useless)

> To create Project HoloLens’ images, light particles bounce around millions of times in the so-called light engine of the device. Then the photons enter the goggles’ two lenses, where they ricochet between layers of blue, green and red glass before they reach the back of your eye. “When you get the light to be at the exact angle,” Kipman tells me, “that’s where all the magic comes in.”
The beach has phone numbers and emails- why wouldn't they be able to contact those users with that information?
I get your point but I wouldn’t consider things like not being able to show up at work “functioning at a 12 year old level”, and i don’t think society would either.

Plenty of “neurotypical” adults suck at showing up to things on time, especially at 8am. Plenty of adults throw full-on tantrums or otherwise act like children in certain situations. Plenty of college students don’t know how to do simple things like wash their clothes or cook or keep their dorm clean. Honestly a lot of people can barely function alone and keep their shit together, and I wouldn’t be surprised if that person was one of them, but we don’t look at them like 12-year olds.
Given what I know about Samsung in Austin, I'm pretty sure you're not paying nearly enough to justify anything close to 20 hours a day. Just because you work with "great people" on "a global supply chain project" doesn't sound like anywhere I'd ever want to work, and it seems like the attrition numbers I've seen agree with that.
I'm interested in reality, not an oversimplification for academic reasoning. I thought that was clear.
I've been recommending CII for years:

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1245464

Past that, the trouble with C books is twofold: (a) do you really need that much book for such a small language? and (b) most of what you'd use C for (systems programming, codec design, bare-metal network programming, etc) is covered in domain-specific books that use... wait for it... C as their example language.
I think the site would really benefit from having a video.
Giving the artist money and maybe introducing them to people in the art world would be great, but what would the Y Combinator of art do in place of the start-up bootcamp for three months? What would artist bootcamp be?

I think it would be pretty difficult to come up with some kind of three month course to improve the quality of your art (that is as productive as what happens in the real YC), but you could teach artists how to market themselves, I guess. Lots of artists aren't good at that.

I think it would work for artists interested in working commercially, to help them get skills for whatever field they wanna go into, learning how to market themselves, and getting connections. For fine artists who just want to show their stuff in galleries and museums, I don't know how useful it would be, besides the money.

What were you imagining for the "YC of art"?
Cmd+[ has been used for indenting for a while now, though... At least that's the only way I've ever done it.
Rob Kusner over at UMass did work on optimal sphere eversions -- pretty interesting:

"Copper has excellent conductivity therefore it wouldn't be a great material to make a suit out of if you want to stop yourself from being electrocuted... You'd want a material that was an excellent insulator!"
Add to that mandatory (includign self made) mask wearing in public space. This is really not hard to do, cheap & can help a lot to prevent infected people from infecting others in public.
I'm a French freelance developer - working from France - and until now I had an Australian company as my main client. I got a call at the beginning of the week from the CTO telling me that after almost 2 years that was it. The company suffered a lot from the economic situation because of the COVID-19 crisis and thus could not longer afford my services.
The R&D team was split-up between remote contractors and based in Sydney people. All the remotes have been laid off.
My situation is not that bad currently: I still have another client I used to work for 1 or 2 days a week, I hope they will have enough work for me to work 3 or 4 days a week. I have some savings as well. I'll wait for the end of all of this before taking any decision (go back to a classic full time job maybe ?).

> If attendees of a meeting do not have the Zoom video window in focus during a call where the host is screen-sharing, after 30 seconds the host can see indicators next to each participant’s name indicating that the Zoom window is not active.

It doesn't seem too invasive, although of course it'd still be annoying if you have two monitors etc.
If anything, the virus shows how mainstream media messaging that Global Warming is a CATASTROPHE and that we have to PANIC right NOW to prevent it, is counterproductive when a real panic comes around (and noone takes you seriously).
> You'd also have to acknowledge that the (Chinese) authoritarian response is what allowed the outbreak to get this bad in the first place.

I have so far seen zero reason to believe that if the outbreak originated in Kansas, or Poland, or Bangalore, it would not have spread across the world by now.

The difference in reaction between red/blue states has less to do with liberalism/authoritarianism, and more to do with the anti-science bent of the modern US right.

Nice collection, would be awesome if there were a way to submit solutions online and have them tested.
> I'm not sure when socialism became a dirty word.

I think certain interests in US have put a considerable effort into their propaganda to make it so. It stems from the "Red Scare" and what used to be the fear-du-jour for us before it was replaced by "terrorism". But the previous fear hasn't been completely replaced. It was planted there and periodically, when appropriate, politicians and other interests are able to tap into it to further their purposes.

Think of these fears as backdoors into into a system. The typical access to a system is through a rational, objective argument. The faster and more effective is to bypass that use the "fear" backdoor.

These fears take a while to cultivate. Once they are there, they are ready to be used and abused.
It was especially dumb of me because my other instance was ... in Fremont.
That's a really astute observation. Thanks for contributing to the discourse.
at the Boston, Seattle and Los Angeles Open Angel Forums we have seen companies that are slightly less (10-35%) further along than the Valley and New York City, but that have valuations that are much less (50%).

Folks in those cities are raising $250-500k at $1.5-2m valuations, where in NYC and the Bay Area/Valley we see $4-6M valuations.

You are correct that those companies get less press.... however, they just have to be creative and successful and they will get it (RedFin and Groupon and Gowalla come to mind).
