I don't trust my (US) government not to spy on me. But I don't trust the Chinese or Russian government not to spy on me, either. I'm not sure that they have my interest at heart any more than my own government does, and maybe less.
I don't know anything about the protocols involved, but it would be possible for the first message to be "I'm a key that would like to unlock the vehicle with VIN# 123abc...". In that case there would be no mistaken protocol runs.

Can you say more? I don't know how C++ uses destructor positioning? Seems to me if it gets to GC it's too late, you already made an allocation which is the expensive part.

Allocating things on the stack is still allocating things? It's faster to mutate than to allocate?
That's the 100% of revenue, Apple's take would be $3B. Still not insignificant...
That's the iOS App Store, not the Mac App Store. The app store on iOS is significantly different in that you can't choose to just sell apps directly.
You bring up a great point and a big challenge is the way government purchases things. There have been a lot of laws passed to ensure that the gov't buys things in a fair way (as not to just give the contract to a friend) but over time those laws and policies have resulted in an extremely complex and time consuming process that only huge companies can devote the resources to "apply" for a job and win it. Once a law is passed and a policy is in place, it can be very hard to unwind (power of inertia) which is why it can take a crisis like Healthcare.gov to make sweeping changes. Teams like 18f are designed to help the gov't build the right tech in house, skipping the procurement process, and using agile methods and modern tech to build faster and cheaper.
"Plain C" is defined by the ISO C standard. Once you start using extensions like these you're better off going over to standard C++.

It would be fantastic if Jetbrains was building an IDE for Rust somewhere in their basement. One can only hope...
FWIW, I used to work in hardware and sold products to Walmart, Target, CVS, Kroger, the Apple Store and had stuff on the shelves of ~20,000 retail locations in the US.

30% is a bargain. In physical retail we'd pay 50% pretty consistently. We were also at the mercy of the retailer to send things back to us if they didn't sell, without paying. So they would buy 20,000 units, sell 5,000, and a few months later send us back the remainder and call it even.

If we wanted promotion in their stores, circulars, or websites we had to pay for the privilege.

Considering Apple puts you in the pocket of hundreds of millions of people, puts you a password or fingerprint away from their credit card, and provides the opportunity for massive exposure in their store, it feels like a super fair deal.

I'm more troubled by the fact that they essentially have driven the price of discrete software to zero, but fortunately there are more and more ways to monetize via SaaS, IAP, Hardware, etc.
The mechanical keys used in VWs today can not be reproduced with photographing. They have non-standard cut-ins on both sides and also activate magnetical bolts inside the lock.

>> What if standups are misused for micromanagement?

> Then fix it.

That's easier said than done. It assumes that the micromanager has enough self-awareness and listening skills. If he had, maybe he wouldn't be a micromanager. I tried to fix it but eventually it was one of the biggest reason I left the company.

>> If there are so many ways standups can go wrong maybe its not a good generic tool after all?

> I don't think that's a useful conclusion to draw. Standups go wrong if they are too long, and that's about the only way they can fail.

Micromanagement is another way we already mentioned. Fabulating stories about work done as a means of avoidance is another (as your sibling suggests). I'd say there are even more ways they can fail in general. In specific cases they might still be indispensable.

edit: formatting
Yes, compilation speed is one of the most important things for us. It's a lot harder for Rust than it is for Go, because Rust has a much more sophisticated suite of optimizations (necessary for Rust's goals) and zero-cost abstractions. You can do a lot better if you're willing to trade runtime performance for compilation speed, and we aren't. But I'm confident that we can get there with incremental compilation and more codegen/typechecking improvements.
My favourite explanation of projections is by the Ordnance Survey (PDF). It looks at things from a practical rather than academic perspective.

I don't mind affiliate links as long as you disclose the fact clearly that you are using aff. links on your site. Don't just add it to a fineprint that no one reads. Make it clear on top of a post as a disclaimer.

At the end of the day, it is your blog and you decide what content to put on it. If a user does not like it, it is their problem but don't fool them into clicking on affiliate links without their knowledge.

Remember there will always be people who complain about free stuff and there are plenty who appreciate your work. So don't feel that is right or wrong to use affiliate links.

Bonus point if the products you link to are actually used by you. But again, it is not really required. Do what you need to do.

I just want to be as sure as possible that they never get around to fixing the traffic ticketing system.

God forbid the state cops ever realize how many times the local cops have pulled me over, or vice versa, and that's before we even get out-of-state violations involved.

Good lord, keep them away from the traffic tickets. COBOL is just fine for that.
That's cool, In Ruby Hash merges are really expensive. I played around with a non-mutating data structure that uses references two two hashes and behaves as if it had been merged instead of allocating. It was a fun thought experiment but wasn't 100% API backwards compatible, as mutations got ugly. Thanks for the link.
I have a Passat from late 2013 -- it cannot be remotely started but doors are keyless. Twice in the last 16 months, somebody rummaged through it overnight, without breaking anything. We religiously close the car every night, especially after the first occurrence, but still it happened again. After it happened to my next-door neighbor's 2013 Golf as well, I reported it to VW and they never even bothered getting back to me.

I'm not surprised in the slightest, I think this sort of news will keep popping up all over the place and manufacturers will keep trying hard to suppress it. We know it will never end: good crypto is hard and inconvenient, so it's unlikely that car manufacturers will ever implement it properly. Bad guys get all the info they need, eventually, so it's just a matter of time before any digital lock is broken.
Will this also track down possible revenge porn? That might be a bigger market than "traditional" social.
It's not serious. It still requires someone to specifically target you & your car with special gear and know-how far outside the realm of the typical car thief.
No, it just reports. The agencies and the governments make the agenda (unfortunately).

That said, Reuters IMHO is the top reporting authority worldwide along with AP.

"given the service apple provides"

- put your app or iap 1 click away from an already loaded credit card; seems highly valuable to me.
Look on the bright side; distributors like Apple used to take closer to 50%. The trend in the industry is towards shrinking payments, and when Apple started doing this, 30% was considered a small cut.

But why would Apple cut their rev share take when they have no reason to do so? It's not like there's competitive pressure, and if app developers want to get more revenue, they can raise prices.
Can you give an example of a 'linear usage of continuation', that doesn't have the continuation be a data structure (or data type)? I'm curious. The question is genuine, not passive aggressive, I don't understand the distinction you're making there.
No, that is not my ideal of male-female relations. I have a track record of speaking out against that. You suggesting I have a problem amounts to a personal attack and one that is wholly unfounded given my track record. I was only trying to point out a flaw in your logic. I am very conservative about trying to suggest solutions because I think we have yet to adequately flesh out the problem space. Trying to come up with solutions when the problem isn't well understood tends to produce bad solutions that make problems worse.
It's worth making the distinction between frontlit and backlit ereaders too. I have a frontlit Nook and other than the lights being a bit bluer than I'd like, it's much more comfortable to read on than my tablet at the lowest brightness.

Thanks, that was a good read, and cleared up a lot of misunderstanding I had about DNSSEC!

You make a strong argument that DNSSEC cannot deliver any real advantages. I did not see anything to support your earlier statement that it's worse than nothing, but given the general uselessness of the protocol, I certainly won't be deploying it.

Diplomats and Foreign Service Officers also do tours of duty.

It's a limited period of service at an outpost.
Yes, as people mentioned above. It’s long fixed, and only a tiny set of cars (only high-end models with keyless entry) were even affected at all.
> It's still a form of public service.

Great, then just say, "I did two years of service. For pay." Like, is a Senator doing a "tour of duty?"
Isn't that to mitigate the issue of 'going native', where the officer starts to identify with locals instead of the people they represent?
The USDS Playbook[1] reminded me a lot of the GDS Design Principles[2] and even shares a few points. I think they also set a feeling for each of the Governments they're related to.

It is always the case that the monthly cost to buy is lower than rent. It has to be, because the rent is covering the cost of repairs and depreciation which isn't included in your mortgage payment.

That is demonstrably not true if you just look at monetary costs. Buying often does not outperform renting and investing the remainder. Of course people value home ownership for reasons other than its financial value.
Within of to minutes no air? That sounds weird.
> do programming languages always need "big company" support to be successful?

History shows that the answer to that is a resounding yes. Aside from a couple of scripting languages (BASIC and Python), there have been exactly zero successful mainstream languages without a large company behind them. Scala, Clojure and Groovy are doing fine, but their adoption is one or two orders of magnitude less than the mainstream languages (Java, C, C++, C#).

Amazon Web Services Rolls Out New Mobile App Testing Service
I would have been all over this a few years ago, but being married to someone who can't also move to DC for a multi-month period makes it unworkable. For my career, I work 100% remotely - I would love to do some work for the digital service if they had opportunity for remote working.
>Feeder is over 10 years old now, long predating the Mac App Store, [...] , and while they should profit, should they really be taking so much that it risks putting independent developers like me out of business?

I'm having trouble following the logic. How can a new distribution channel for potential customers that didn't exist until 2011 bankrupt you?

If Feeder is 10 years old, what's significant about 2011-2015 of the Mac App Store existence that causes financial insolvency?

For a niche app like Feeder, which typically only manages to cover the cost of supporting and maintaining it, doesn’t need any Mac App Store-only features like iCloud,..., it hardly makes sense for me to sell it there from a financial perspective… and yet if I don’t, many people might not even know it exists.

How did people find out Feeder existed before 2011? Did Mac App Store remove that option of reaching the public?

The above mentioned vulnerability only applies to very few models, on the North American market, which have the (very costly) extra of keyless entry.

According to my knowledge, keyless entry is even illegal in Germany. (But I am not a lawyer, so I do not know if that applies at all, or if the legal situation just ends up stating that drunk people owning a car with keyless entry may not be close enough to their car that the immobilizer is deactivated)

I'm not talking about data cable.

and the Russian power grid IPS/UPS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPS/UPS

edit - the limits to how far you can push transmission are very high indeed. For instance, here's a study from 1984 that puts an upper limit on AC at 3000 - 4000km and for DC at 7000km.

Is there a mirror? Site looks down.
18F is structured to support remote workers. You'd need to be on site in DC to work at the USDS though.
That's the problem, that the judges making the decisions usually don't have skin in the game.
The main problem with the original healthcare.gov was that it was built by contractors under the old contracting model of "fill as many seats with bodies as you can, win the contract, and charge by the hour". That business model creates a perverse economic incentive that doesn't leave a lot of room for creativity, and certainly doesn't do anything to create trust between the federal agency that requires software and the team that ends up building it. I would also say that the hiring bar for contractors, compared to 18F, the USDS, etc, is, frankly, pitiful.
So you are 16 year old, already two years on HN and have an app in the Mac App Store that Apple qualified as 'You must be at least 17 years old to download this app'.

OJ Simpson is an odd (but probably not uncommon) case where he could be easily convicted of resisting arrest. So he's in a middle ground where damages from the original arrest are unjustified, but damages resulting from his further actions are justified. If he hadn't ran, he could have most likely posted bail.

But I don't see anything fundamentally wrong with reimbursing OJ Simpson for the time of his criminal arrest and imprisonment, especially because that money would have just been used to settle the civil suit. Remember, he was found innocent (no double jeopardy + innocent until proven guilty). We both can say the system got the wrong answer for this case, but insinuations or references to a lower standard of proof don't actually change the verdict.

Step back to a much simpler case of actual innocence. While walking down the street you are randomly arrested and held for a few days before you can post bail. What is the justification for the salary loss from your missed work being your responsibility, rather than the thugs' who caused it?

As far as encouraging judges/juries to find guilty for financial reasons. Do we want to hold back reforms on the fear that our system is so corrupt it will only worsen things? I can certainly see your scenario happening, but the proper course is to then fix those problems rather than give up and keep denying justice to victims of the "justice" system itself.
They are currently tackling C++(Clion), which would lead me to believe it is within the realm of possibility if they were so inclined.

Your pay is determined by your paystub from your previous/current employer by the Office of Management and Budget (edit: they do not take into account equity grants nor intangibles). You're also required to pass a drug test, as well as a background check and security clearance.

I'm somewhat turned off by the idea that people shouldn't be paid ~$130K/year for their service. You're asking them to pick up and move to DC, covering none of their moving, travel, or new living expenses.
How is nobody talking about push-button cross-compilation? It could be huge! The only language that I'm aware of that does it at all well is C and that's because the only build tool that does it at all well is automake. But even then the library situation is very hit-and-miss. If rust nails this it's going to be awesome.
The government spends millions on shitty contracts and programs that goes billions over budget. Don't work for them unless you are getting at least market price.
I think the lack of training is probably worldwide. I'm in the UK and have seen it in most companies here (although can only provide anecdotal evidence).

Training is expensive and increased productivity is hard to measure - coupled together you see training as a cost with no tangible benefit.

They then just expect their employees to learn everything in their own time (which from your employers perspective, is free). There's a kind of horrifying logic to it really.
Your point makes more sense for the iOS App Store, but this was desktop software and the Mac App Store is a different animal. It's nowhere near as successful, even "top" apps are't selling many copies. The sandboxing also means your apps can do less than apps that aren't in the store. You also can't do demos or paid upgrades. Same 30% tax though.

There have been many similar rants:

I've had a lovely problem of having a Dutch last name and the officer writing my middle name as "Van", then trying to inquire about said ticket in a system which apparently you can only search by name or ticket number (which I lost), only to be told "no record found" and later getting a notice that my license was suspended from the DMV.
You are right, it's probably easier to find an app in a store that has a total of ten apps then one that has hundreds of thousands. But on the other hand such a store has a lot more visitors then your own blog, so if your content is good and gets discovered then you might be able to sell a lot more then on your own blog.

From what I know jamendo licensing is a stock music websites that does not require you to be exlusivly on their platform.

So this means that they could still keep their music on their own website and distribute their music directly to their visitors but also offer their music through jamendo to a much broader audience.

I would recommend them to give it a try, it won't cost them much effort to read the jamendo legal stuff, then open an account and upload their tracks. Some months later based on the stats I would decide to stay or leave, because its hard to know if something will work for you if you don't try it out.
I was fortunate to take this class the first time it was offered. I found it a great introduction to the material, but a bit over my head. Deep learning requires a strong grasp of linear algebra - and particularly at the "Stanford" level. My undergrad didn't prepare me well for visualizing outer products and matrix / tensor derivatives. Once you get over those hurdles, deep learning is quite fun. It often works like magic. I'll give you an example:

A firetruck is _____

Try typing this in Google and you'll get "red", "moving" and "made". During the course you build a network that trains next-word completions using arbitrary bodies of text. You can train it for hours, days or weeks...and it just gets better and better. Eventually you will max out the capacity of your network, but then you can fiddle with the number of nodes and other hyperparameters. In the end you're just training a "black-box" nonlinear function to best approximate an unknown function defined by training data.
You can get free access to the API, capped at 10K requests per day. Hopefully that is enough to be useful at this initial stage!

After that, I think pricing depends on your app. I think it is extremely favourable to small/new startups, but I am am engineer and not a sales guy, so I don't want to say anything that might be both specific and wrong... (I hope this isn't starting to sound like a bait and switch sales pitch; if you want to talk offline my gmail is donallmc).
