I'm not sure why total volume really matters that much. A more relevant metric would be production cost compared to sale price. A music album costs about $15 at the most, and I would imagine that the biggest pop records only cost a few million dollars at the most. A new movie costs around the same, but a few million dollars is very cheap for a movie with a wide release. Of course, I could just be way off on my estimates of producing a major pop music album.
That's a nice description, but up-front or not, in my view the design work should be counted as part of the programming. Maybe that's pedantic, but the idea of 'programming at the speed of typing' sounds positively dystopian to me.

4 Ways to Learn About Your SaaS Users Without Wasting Time
I wasn't aware (it's admittedly been a long time since I've done this; nowadays I just run a central CUPS server to drive my printers); thanks for the much better link.
Thanks, good point!

Yes, the approach in general is not limited to GCE, but some characteristics of GCE - like the fast provisioning time as well as the good interconnection between instances - are very beneficial for that approach. That's the reason why it works so fast on GCE. Does this makes sense to you?

Our input files are not segmented, you can use the commonly used media formats out in the market as MP4, MKV, etc. and we take care of the rest.
Hi Yannche, thank you for your post and questions. Regarding savings, we're very early on in our first pilots so I do not have firm data on what we will ultimately be able to save a GC or project as a whole. With that being said, there are public metrics available which point to upwards of 30% of all construction spending being unnecessary or waste. Can we bring that number down through our efforts? We believe so but time will ultimately tell.

To clarify regarding sharing of data, none of our pilot participants are publicly sharing any data. We are definitely seeing that data privacy is of the utmost concern within this industry.
I posted about this in another thread about this Tesla "hack", but they required physical access to the INSIDE of the vehicle. An access port in the driver-side footwell.

How is this a security problem? If someone malicious has physical access to a normal car they could cut the brake lines or drain the oil, without even needing to unlock the car.

If I'm inside a car I own I think I'd PREFER it to know I can hack into the car's systems rather than it being totally locked down.
I totally agree with all of this, but I think the hard part of writing side effect free code is that it often involves more allocations. (Since you're constantly constructing new values and objects, and transferring them around on the stack). I think this is why you see a lot more mutation (and bugs) in C: managing allocations is annoying. Having a garbage collected language mitigates the burden on the programmer, but if you're writing performance sensitive code that means you're putting pressure on the garbage collector so you're going to get more pauses. Not to say you shouldn't write in this style, you should, but there's a pretty big opportunity for languages to get better in this regard.
I can't see that as "frugalism", more just freeloading. They want the benefits of having a place to live, but with none of the responsibility or bills.
> So perhaps pay is so high just to find a CEO whom isn't a bad hire.

There's some theories that posit that high CEO pay isn't to reward the CEO for their work directly but to motivate everyone under the CEO to work their ass off in hopes of one day becoming the CEO. Motivating the workforce in this manner makes the company sufficiently more productive as to make it worth paying those high salaries; even if the CEO doesn't actually produce anything themselves. I believe it's called a tournament-style system or something.

It's pretty bleak-sounding.
At the moment a proposal to completely do away with copyright is so ridiculous that it'd be like trying to reach a compromise with flat Earth theorists by saying "well maybe the Earth is just really, really flat, but still round."

We should argue directly for reasonable copyright terms that still benefit the creators while also respecting the consumers. Everything else just muddles the issue.
High frame rate movies will be fine once they get people who understand the psychophysics involved.
Just for clarity: I did say that losing weight doesn't appear to be easy.

I agree that there's a bunch of gut flora / genetic / etc stuff going on, and that society makes weight loss really hard.
Yes, I also think dependency length minimization is just a cognitive constraint. (Lead author here.) The idea of calling this a universal in the Chomsky sense is all from the press. The cool thing about it is that (previous work has shown) you can use this constraint in principle to derive a lot of the more substantive "universals" (really, overwhelming tendencies) of language, such as that natural language expressions are usually well-nested, and that in languages where the verb follows the object, the noun also follows the adjective, and the preposition follows the noun, etc.

As for isolated languages, I just finished performing some dependency length preference experiments on indigenous people in Bolivia, but haven't analyzed the data yet, so we'll see :)
With the exception of Google.
They don't seem to be very strict about it. I've watched poker, piano playing, and drawing on there before.
You do realize that Copyright does not apply for business logic or algorithms, so anyone can just copy those, too?

I learned how hard it is to do anything in this field.

None the less, if someone find a way to solve it, it's truly going to be transformative.
No, it doesn't. It's just as plausible that he's the one being irrational.

If this article is a case study, it's only conducting research on the business challenge and ignores the societal impact. Reddit community members are treated as incidental targets for advertisers and the study observes the difficulty in marketing a brand to an environment hostile to brand messaging.

The article serves the intended readership well, and I found many of its points interesting, but it feels hollow to not mention that there is more to learn here. I'm left feeling like the take away is that creating a safer environment for advertisers is the same as creating a safer and healthier community but that necessarily excludes a kind of community; one that exists regardless of what Reddit does and one that is largely unserved by the corporate web. Communities that avoid mainstream, are suspicious of money's affect on authenticity. It's unruly, bad behavior too, but there are several ways you can slice that. Shaping it to fit a neutral channel that is friendly to advertisers is only one way.
I listened to your DockerCon talk on debugging. So in a server that can handle multiple concurrent requests (e.g. a web application server), should each unhandled exception abort the whole process (after delivering something like an HTTP 500 to the client) so the developer can do postmortem debugging on a core dump? That would cause all other in-progress requests to be aborted too, unlike simply logging the exception and moving on. But then again, maybe that would increase the motivation to root-cause every failure.
Is there an affordable Library of UI elements for iOS development?
Hello,

I’m new to iOS development and I’m excited to start learning with the new Swift language. The language seems straightforward. Unfortunately, I’m the worst at creating good looking UIs with fancy animations for my apps. I’m doing my apps on the side and don’t have all day to code them.

I work as a Microsoft .Net programmer and the company that I work for uses Telerik to build their pretty UIs. It saves a lot of time in UI development. Is there something similar in the iOS world where I don’t have to pay a leg and an arm for it — currently $499.00 for Telerik products. I know there’s free stuff online but I’m wary about the licenses and the lack of updates when new versions of iOS come out.

Any help would very so appreciated. Thanks.
All of the languages are "minimized" in that dependency length is below the random baseline.

German, Japanese, etc. are just much less minimized than other languages like English and Indonesian. Working out why is the next step for us. I don't think it's because these languages are inherently harder to understand. They just represent different solutions to the communication problem.
You can opt out but I don't know of anyone that has. Their language suggests you might not get updates, but I think that language is more of a cover every possibility than reality. They always install updates when the vehicle is serviced anyway. So it's not like you're entirely blocked from updates if you do opt out.

c. jsdom, yeah, thanks! Maybe you're used to longer tests and are okay with it; I got spoiled by the early test suite of this project running in one or two seconds, which enabled me to tell my editor to automagically run tests at each save and report brokenness (in Atom, with the test-status package [1]). Which is amazing, almost physical, because it lets you feel when you break stuff and when you're back in a stable state. Then we discovered the jsdom tests, and at this point we didn't have any end-to-end Selenium tests, so it sounded like a great first step and we added them, but liiittle by little they started lengthening the tests, to a point where I abandoned my auto-test setup. Maybe this auto-test looks futile to you, to me it's the kind of enabling real-time dev. experience I now want to replicate on all the projects I work on, like react-hot-loader [2].

Sometimes that is true; if your architecture is suboptimal then yes you can trim away huge classes of bugs with a high-level change. But as with all aspects of software development, the truth is a question of nuance and judgement.

The way your assertion can go wrong is when you don't recognize the errors that your rewritten code will add. At a high level we always envisage perfect code, and existing code is always seemingly full of warts, but no perfect coding plan ever survives contact with reality. Those warts are bug fixes and optimizations which make the thing work. Don't be too quick to rewrite lest you create bigger problems than you started with.

We ran surveys on our patients for 3-4 years. Turns out that, by far, the biggest variable in assessing EVERYTHING about us was the wait time. Short wait time, they loved us (99% in national rankings). Long wait times, patients said we were rude, had ugly facilities, they had bad outcomes, etc.
Ok, I take that back. Seems fair.

Although I really think startups should reference the exact articles where the press has covered them if they indeed have received coverage.
It's pretty well-accepted that OTA updates for games lowered quality across the board.

Anecdotally, I've seen the same in general software.

Traditional product recalls are very expensive, but they centralize costs on the manufacturer, and disperse much smaller individual costs across all consumers. In doing so, they incentivize manufacturers to not screw up.

OTA externalizes costs to consumers, increasing their individual cost through the disruption of more regular updates and regressions, security issues, etc, while decreasing the manufacturers costs dramatically.

This -- surprise! -- incentivizes shipping crap.

Long-term manufacturers can lose brand goodwill due to shipping a buggy product, but if everyone is shipping crap, it's not like consumers have a choice or even particularly high expectations.
Interesting... So they are using ObjFW as their ObjC runtime, which is relatively an old implementation. So if your app has some Obj C Runtime use, you may see trouble here. It would be interesting to test their other implementations.
It's a known negotiating technique. You ask for something unreasonable that you know you can't get, then back down to something more reasonable(what you actually wanted) during negotiation.

Really? A lot of the technologies in the opening paragraph are in relation. If you are building API-centric apps, you will have to have a well rounded understanding of how the technologies relate not just the mastery of each on their own. Maybe that is the intended message?

The main issue is the overuse of the word master, which may imply the 10,000 hour rule. I suppose they do this to ward of amateurs.
Specifically, we used hand-parsed corpora developed by Google and a whole bunch of computational linguists over the last 15 years.

The dependency representation is of course an incomplete picture of how words hang together in a sentence. But it's the only format that's flexible enough that you could dream of parsing 37 languages to (approximately) the same standard.
why would the insurance companies want that? Lower costs means lower revenue over the long term. Given that they are effectively capped at a maximum profit margin, they can't make up for this with increased profitability. It's part of why healthcare operates so differently from everytihng else.
I disagree with whoever downvoted you. What he or she should have done was correct your assertion.

Numerous studies have been conducted, to the point where the topic submarines monthly on HN, that controlled for sleep duration, high school students perform much better when start times are later in the morning. The cause that researchers commonly attribute to this is that people in that age group have an optimal sleep schedule that's later than young children and adults.
I was in love with Ractive at one point. But I have come to appreciate JSX over mustache after working on some non-trivial projects at work. Being able to do whatever can do in JS has saved me from googling for template helpers.

Which contributes to their success through free marketing and word-of-mouth. "Who are you listening to?" is a common question people ask when they hear music they like that someone else is listening to. Which, if they hadn't pirated that persons music they might not be listening to and the answer would be a different artist.

From an economic sense I've never understood trying to prevent piracy. I can understand not encouraging it or even encouraging buying the product but not acting like piracy is a heinous crime that robs them.

My favorite example is illegal anime fansubs that open up an entire foreign market to something they otherwise would not participate in. From purchasing merchandise (figurines, dakimakuras, DVD's, soundtracks, etc.) to telling their friends about the anime. It's business that these studios would otherwise not get and so many fansub groups are tolerated or even hired as official translators for studios.

This sort of black/white standpoints on piracy do more harm to both sides in many cases...people shooting themselves in the foot because they don't understand that potentially free marketing brings in more money than the imaginary "lost sale" (who says the person who pirated would even buy your product to begin with?)

distributed consensus is about having a group of processes agree on a single data value. For example, imagine you have a cluster of server. Each node has a replicated database.

(1) You want all your nodes to have the exact same replica of the database i.e consistency across your cluster.

You would need to reach consensus before any node actually adds anything to its local database to make sure that property (1) is fulfilled.

== Linearizability is just a consistency model i.e a variant of property 1 with stronger/weaker constraints.
I haven't seen many statistics, but fonts are quite expensive to license. By the same token, few designers would be foolish enough to pirate a font and use it publicly; so I would think most font pirates simply want them for personal use, which can't be denying the foundries and typeface designers much income...

He does not have a trademark.

That's debatable. AFAIK, trademarks are established automatically, by usage, regardless of whether or not they are registered with the USPTO (this is all assuming US jurisdiction). But I think the law reads something along the lines of "use in trade" or something like that, so I guess one could argue whether or not making a programming language available for free download constitutes "trade" or not.

IANAL, but my feeling is that the Go guy would have had a decent case, had he felt like litigating over the whole thing.

Of course it made sense for him to not litigate, given the cost in time and money and what not. But still, I think Google were wrong here, but legally and morally.
