The fees charged by brokers on small companies are astonishingly high ( double digits). Anything you can do to find a buyer will save big bucks. Have you considered an esop or maybe mezzanine debt refinancing? Once there is another natural shareholder it becomes much easier to sell.

I was thinking about something similar the other day when I was setting up a language server in my IDE for a non-mainstream programming language.

What if there was a language we could develop APIs / libraries with that would automatically work with any other language / runtime? I guess I'm describing C interop, but that's too low level. C stands on it's own. I have no idea how to solve this but there would have to be some standard interface that the C interopt is developed against to provide additional context / metadata to allow more native interoperability.

I don't know if I'm doing a good job explaining it. But, the idea is just like a language server. A server is implemented by a specific runtime and it can automatically interop with any client-library written in any other language, natively. This just sounds like wishful thinking.
Looks good. How is the speed compared to vmware?

Probably, like so many other things in our culture, because the multi-national corps. ran the numbers and came to the conclusion that the profit margin would be higher for gasoline, and then did whatever needed to persuade consumers to steer away from this technology.

What else could explain how GM produced those engines?

Although I try to steer clear from hardcore conspiracy theories, sometimes it really is that simple.
There's no such thing as intrinsic value. Gold has value because humans value it. Humans value it basically because it's shiny and somewhat rare, but the value is something we project onto it.
My experience with Godot is that it has a very clean design. There is just nothing hacky or unintuitive about it.

Although I don't know much about entity component systems, my impression is that it is basically just multiple inherentence. Personally, I never had any need for such a thing in Godot.
As a business traveler who at least used to have status on an airline, I'm a big NOPE on unassigned seats. Would pretty much cause me to never fly an airline except under duress.
PCRs of the TPM.

Combined with full drive encryption, the bootloader not matching will make the TPM not release the drive encryption key.
Right now it's Reddit, and we are integrating twitter. Hope that we can include Youtube, discord, tiktok etc
That's due to range and especially latency issues with Bluetooth. It's one reason competitive shooters were more popular on the 360 than the Ps3 with its Bluetooth gamepad.
Isn't there also a fundamental equivalence between information and energy in physics? And so is there not a lower limit to the amount of energy required to compute a SHA256 hash of a certain number of bytes, and by extension mine a bitcoin block?

> Excluding malicious action, most people make a (semi) critical error sometime in their career, especially if you work on the ops side of things, these can often be disasterous. Engineering who claim they never have made a mistake that usually either not working on anything that has value or are just lucky in my opinion. engineering who are afraid to say they made a mistake are a cultural issue aswell, because it delays troubleshooting during incidents.

Bingo. I’ve made mistakes that have taken down systems or caused them to silently fail. The worst mistake I’ve made took down basically my entire company for about 20 minutes. This turned out not to be critical, because our site was still operating, and it was just external data feeds that weren’t getting updated, but I freaked out about it for a minute. After that minute, I went and got help, and we fixed it. Had I not, I probably could have fixed it myself, but it would have taken much longer and cost much more than it did.

If you’re in an environment that doesn’t recognize that, you aren’t in a place that actually values and understands engineering work.
I really believe that distributed systems will weight more in the future and that virtual machines will be able to abstract both local resources and remote ones and new paradigms will be created in order to program these. We are still in the early days of programming and there's a lot of room for innovation.
Are you saying it's not exactly the same, then? What's the difference, besides the technology we have now?
I've used JLC for PCBA. They use LCSC for parts, and have a separate inventory. You can only get parts that LCSC stock assembled, which is a pain - I ordered and soldered a QFP-144 part myself because it's not in their list.

But A$120 got me two partially assembled boards, in a few weeks, which isn't terrible at all.

(I used EasyEDA for this design, to get better access to JLC's parts catalogue, but it was a worse overall experience than using KiCAD, and I still had to fix up some parts' rotation anyway.)
Cool! This is a problem I've been trying to solve.

One of my biggest annoyances was how you may have multiple submodules that are tightly related to your project, but have to be in external repos that may not logically map well.

One trick I started doing was to put the actual submodule repos physically inside my parent repos on my server, and then in my .gitmodules, using the relative directory like ./submodule1.git

So, that means:

parent/ --> server:parent.git
parent/submodule1/ --> server:parent.git/submodule1.git

I have also been using orphan worktrees as well.

The reason this is such a big deal, is that for many of the data projects I work on, the different repos, while closely related, should really have completely separate history. This is because I use tools like git-annex and git-lfs to access and push large datasets within git, and it would make no sense at all to mix that in with documentation and code. I sometimes use Datalad, which handles a lot of this, but had some of its own quirks and can be overkill some times.

I'm certain to give this a try.

Such as:

parent/
imaging_input/ (12G of 50G checked out w/ git-annex)
imaging_diffs_input/ (5G git-lfs)
imaging_output (git-annex)
logs_output/ (git-annex)

Ironically, consolidating the same amount of hours in fewer employees suffers the same effects people say raising minimum wage does -- reducing the total number of people involved. Some people get more hours and benefits, others get fired.
Proof of stake is a quarter away. It’s been that way since 2018, and it’ll probably be that way at the heat death of the universe.

Your conclusion ("the failing of Psychology in the academic world") is not supported by your evidence.

You have demonstrated that there is one prominent psychologist who holds some fairly-obviously terrible and inaccurate beliefs, and is willing to trumpet them to anyone who will listen.

This is no more an indictment of the field of psychology than the occasional right-wing "climate scientist" Fox News brings out to "prove" that climate change is not real is an indictment of the field of climate science.

Many scientific fields likely have a handful of far-right kooks who would be happy to rack up YouTube views promulgating alt-right talking points dressed up in the trappings of science. That says very little about the state of their fields, and a great deal about the state of our nation. And YouTube.
> All you did lying on the test was to land in a different box than if you had not lied.

Again, which is why I mentioned in my post that there are scientific problems with the field as a whole, so I don’t understand the undue targeting of MBTI compared to everything else. You realize people are prescribed or not prescribed controlled substances on the basis of their responses to other questionnaires, right? You can look up the DSM criteria and get a diagnosis for just about anything based on your responses.
At the time I started working on my scripts - sometime in 2019 - I think neither Teal, nor TSToLua existed. Not 100% sure about that, but I remember searching for type systems for Lua and coming back empty handed back then :(

I'll take a closer look at both, they seem interesting.
Oddly enough, I noticed the verbosity of the "rationalists" but only put it off as an amusing characteristic and not a flaw. Anybody who enjoys reading the New Yorker has no right to complain. ;-)

>>> The whole idea of the rationalist perspective is that it's supposed to be detached from parochial loyalty. It's supposed to be about real problems and real solutions that affect real people in real ways.

I believe this is a race against time. Rationalism has to actually influence the implementation of real solutions before it becomes a parochial loyalty in its own right. Unfortunately, one symptom of such a shift is the development of a shared enemy and a sense of embattlement, and the NYT/SSC affair may have provided the seed crystal for that shift.

> SQLite as an embedded server-side database requires extra work...

No, it depends on the server application. An all-read or read-mostly server requires nothing special. Same for any server that expects a low number of users or database per user(s).

Mozilla uses it on servers for documentation sites. You can also run your own Firefox sync server using SQLite.

They might as well be playing Candyland? Not really.

The luck of the cards tends to even out over time-- this is why tournaments consist of a large number of hands.

I'm not sure of the specific numbers with Poker, but an expert Cribbage player tends to win about 55% of the time.
It's not so much about being better, but rather in addition to something like CAPS, because I think CAPS has the right idea and both services could shed light on trade opportunities. The model for CAPS is highly ranked/successful members sharing trade ideas and I think that's valuable. One difference, however, is that I plan to pay any members with significant audiences visiting their profile blog on an ad revenue sharing program. This will hopefully draw participation from many top traders to the site.

Nothing on that list has an obvious probability ratio of 1. This is world politics, not a computer simulation.

Most government services provide a safety net for minimal-income workers. You take that away, the lower class could quickly become insolvent, threatening our entire social structure. Obviously I'm specifically hitting entitlement, but all government services have people who rely on them, and in most cases the government does them more efficiently than private business can.

Military spending secures the US role as world superpower. You take that away and businesses working abroad have a much harder time creating factories with exploitative labor pricing. Prices rise. There is a possible good outcome where factories are forced back into the states, but it's a gamble.

Take that stuff away, there's barely 100 billion worth of cuts with a probability ratio with anything approaching 1.
Tiny core linux is the smallest one I know of that is fully packaged (at 11MB). I use it for a similar purpose.
Another option is to install a server version like debian and add back only those pieces you need.
Absolutely. I'm in my 30s and haven't noticed any decrease in my ability to continue learning. It's definitely a challenge to discard your old mental models if/when they start to become hindrances, but far from impossible.

My Mom (nearly 60) went back to school last year to learn occupational therapy, and has been doing great. It's not rocket surgery by any stretch, but it's exactly the kind of retraining that's relevant to the article's assertion.
Delay can be avoided by using touch events instead of emulated mouse events.
That certainly wasn't my intent - I was just brainstorming a list of ways one might fix the shortfall of math/science/engineering professionals.

Salaries: Maybe we're still low, but looking at http://gigaom.com/2010/11/10/stat-shot-the-results-of-silico... - we're paying between 10-20% above these figures (generally) for our engineers, so I suspect that's not the case.
HTML5 has offline cache.

WebKit has CSS has transitions, which are hardware-accelerated (at least on iPhone).

WebKit has <meta name=viewport> hack (hopefully standardized as @viewport) and touch events can be used to control zooming.

In iOS pages bookmarked on home screen are allowed to hide addressbar completely.
I'll upvote, just cause I think you were trying to make a point
there are several more good how-to papers linked from http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mleone/how-to.html

different disciplines (and sometimes even publications) have different conventions and styles. look at some of the most-cited and best-reviewed papers in your field -- and some of the recent ones you like too, just in case styles have changed.

Twitter got a 10x reduction in number of front-end web servers and a 10x latency improvement by changing the platform. The layer literally called thrift services and made HTML pages. The 10x reduction in servers was great at the scale that they were at but the 10x decrease in latency was the real winner and it had nothing to do with scale. Pure single request performance.
Fast, high quality answers from very intelligent people.

Quora's community is small and is primarily composed of people in tech/academia (probably because of its invite system). Real names are displayed (profiles are often linked to facebook accounts) so any response carries some weight of reputation. Every user has a timeline of new questions and recent responses that are filtered towards topics that the user follows. Presumably, the users follow topics they are knowledgeable about.

So:
1. The invite system builds a small and intelligent community.

2. The filtered timeline and low volume of questions enables fast responses from users.

3. Along with #1, the addition of reputation yields high quality answers. The topic following system gets questions in front of "experts" efficiently.

4. There is a voting system for responses much like stackoverflow.

Quora reminds me of HN + Facebook profiles + Stackoverflow.
Well said.

Anecdotally, I've never had issues with tickets that had my partial name on them in the past either ("Matt" vs. "Matthew") although this may have changed now that TSA requires full names and birthdays (I always use my full name now).

They could also make the pages NOT indexable and then have a side agreement with Google to give Google API access to index the pages they want.
As far as I know, any data that people post to Facebook without restricted visibility can be pulled through the API. If a user has logged into your site and given you access to their data, you can access restricted data as well. You can also write to Facebook via the API.

I'm not sure what you want Facebook to change.
I honestly thought that blogging by email made a lot of sense before I heard of Posterous. Of course, their implementation of it is pretty great.

Another blogging interface that makes sense to me is a message board. Each blogger would have a forum (subforums would be allowed and would represent all of that blogger's blogs). Each thread (the first post of the thread) in the forum represents a blog post, and others' replies to the thread become the blog comments.

I think that idea might have some legs, as it could help a lot with discoverability. But what do I know?
The kind of company that sets up a neurodiversity program will also not be the kind of company OP is describing he likes. Big, slow, rich companies can do stuff like that but the development work will be more bureaucratic. Small startups have you wear many hats and always put out fires and cobble things together to a solution that’s fast and kind of works.
But those companies will never invest heavily into HR initiatives until they have like 1000 people.
No one ask a question about bad blogs for programmers, so I'd like to self promote my personal blog https://whyboobo.com/.
Hm? Would you mind expanding on why and how you feel my piece is hyperpartisan? I'm neither a leftist nor particularly sympathetic to them; my own economic preferences usually lie pretty firmly in the neoliberal camp. Your comment seems to be calling my piece a "communist diatribe", and I'm struggling to see where you got that impression.
Apple called them "folders" because they had this "desktop metaphor" where the files were pieces of paper and the background (what we call the "desktop" today) was like a physical desk.

This is also the reason GUI programs typically have a white background. It's like you're typing on a typewriter and the background is made of paper.

Prior to GUIs, it was common to see black backgrounds and glowing text, because that was easier for the hardware than the opposite.

True and really it’s not a Unicorn as it’s been public before.

You inspired me to have a look at how many “Unicorns” are in the US for comparison. Depending on source it’s between about 400-480 in the US. So about 12x as many with about 4.8x the population.

As far as I can tell the US hasn't had a nuclear test that went far different from expectations since the 60s. And modern nuclear warheads haven't used dramatically different designs for quite some time. Given that it's a pretty good bet that all US nuclear weapons in service are reliable.
JetBrains was started in the Czech Republic [0] by three Russians. The same people who started it no longer run it.

Calling it a "Russian" company would be totally inaccurate. The hack that I saw cited, though I believe it was an unidentified source, was one that was injected at compile time. That would be very difficult to notice for any programmer.

So, here's my question:

Why did you refer to them as "Russian" when it's obviously not true?

I'm a double bassist, and even as an amateur, my ability to function in ensembles and get hired by bands over the past decades owes a lot fluent sight reading ability.

Musical notation provides a kind of symbiosis between composers / arrangers, and players. If you want to work, you have to read standard notation. If you want your material to get played, you have to write it in standard notation. And learning any notation to the point of sight-reading it is prohibitively difficult for most people, including good musicians who learned without reading.

Experiments with developing new notation tend to involve a cooperation between the composer and willing players, often in an academic setting. It's also a wide open field for electronic and computer aided music, where sight-reading might not be an issue at all.
Try messing around with buss processing and track sequencing while referencing other recordings in the same genre. Just make sure to keep the unprocessed tracks around, and err on the side of "less is more". There's a lot of overlap between the aesthetic skills needed for mixing and those needed for mastering.

The profession of mastering is much more than that, but generally when people ask this question they want to know about the aesthetics, not about stuff like thoroughly grokking many source and delivery formats, etc.
