First, read The Design of Everyday Things. After that, I don't know.

I will say, though, that you won't ever come up with a good UI unless you watch people use it as early as possible. There is absolutely no substitute for sitting behind someone (preferably a lay person) and watching them try to accomplish whatever task they want with your UI.

Yeah, I think you have to count a semi-colon as a "line of C" for this to be meaningful. It's still awesome none-the-less.
Does anyone know why content creators would not sign up to get ad money from the red subscription? Even if google wasn't threatening anything by not doing it, why wouldn't you take it? Are they afraid that red subscription revenue is going to be less than typical ad revenue?
I have two quick departures (4 months and 5 months respectively) on my resume and it has caused me a lot of problems. In both cases, the companies that I joined pulled unbelievable bait-and-switches on me, and my job was essentially unrelated to the job they described during the hiring process. I tried to stick it out in each case, and I even received excellent performance reviews during both short stints, but the burnout and the effect on my mental health of suffering through such egregious bait-and-switch situations was too much and in both cases I couldn't sustain working any longer and so I quit.

I want to find a place to work for a long time, but the quality of software work these days is laughably poor. There are so many ways a job can be bad -- not just normal bad, where you grind it out for 40 hours (I've done plenty of that too and lasted long stints at previous employers), but really, seriously soul-crushingly bad -- that it has made me considerably more paranoid about the motivations and red flags that employers reveal during interviews and hiring.

In general though, most people are willing to at least ask me to explain my unusual resume, and any time my technical skills are evaluated early on, they can see that I know what I am talking about and it goes OK after that.

I'm not sure what lessons this has taught me. Everyone says not to quit a bad job until you know for sure that you have another job lined up. But even though I've quit two jobs in a row and had to live through very hard circumstances and very long, demoralizing spells of unemployment, I still don't actually think my overall life would have been better if I had continued to allow myself to be so egregiously mistreated in those past jobs. I still think the awful grinding-out-the-unemployment stuff has been at least an order of magnitude better than enduring mistreatment, even though it hasn't been good.
I use MSYS2 which is probably as close as you'll get to a Linux environment for native windows programs. There is a port of pacman fire package management, and it has an xterm compatible terminal called mintty.

There's also Cygwin (and Babun is meant to be a nice configuration of this), but Cygwin tends to create an environment that is a bit more isolated from the rest of the system, while MSYS2 focuses more on working within the native environment.
IMO it depends on the employee. I have some where I'd for sure go to bat to keep them around. I have some who slack off, put in minimal hours, and do a terrible job checking their work. They're a net positive, but barely, and if they were to throw a fit like that I'd tell them to take a hike.
Great analysis. The author of this blog compares Campus to WeWork, but WeWork is actually doing a very similar concept to Campus called WeLive: https://www.bisnow.com/washington-dc/news/office/welive-and-...

With WeWork's massive success over the last six years, it should certainly be interesting to see if they can get the economics and experience right.
>But how do developers being successful on Twitter's platform translate to Twitter making money?

Same way 3rd party developers helped originally grow twitter. A variety of twitter 3rd party tools drives user engagement with twitter. That data most likely has value that twitter simply hasn't figured out how to extract efficiently yet (slapping ads in the feed is an easy monetization strategy, not necessarily a good one).
Agreed, I've had to compile pieces of C++ software that had dependencies on third party libraries for completely ridiculous trivial reasons. Like requiring OpenSSL for a project that's completely unrelated to networking/crypto just to be able to use its SHA-1 implementation to hash an image and check if it has changed from a previous version. 20+ dependencies later and it starts getting really annoying to compile that project for different platforms, because invariably there will be one little dependency that isn't supported because of some feature that's not even being used.

It is to the benefit of anyone running an interactive website that wants to accept visitors from outside the hosting country. Multinationals, which have a physical presence in many countries that could handle local hosting if necessary, and the legal resources to work through the privacy laws of N different countries, are in many ways the least affected.
I think it's important to understand that burnout is situational depression and/or anxiety. If you are burning out it's important to recognize that it's not some special software developer thing its a real psychological issue that professionals can help with. There's no shame in admitting that and getting help beyond just trying to talk to your boss.
The analogy is beyond tortured at this point, but I would say the way I see this is that the state department laid down a highway, and said, "Have at it!", and people built all kinds of different cars - kit cars, motorcycles, high performance vehicles.

Then, a few years later, the state department says, "Oh shit, nevermind", and pulls everyone's car registration except for the state department manufactured cars. Chaos reigns. People are angry.

A couple of years later, there's a lot of hard feelings, but the state department has changed their tune a little bit. You still have to use the state department cars for your personal vehicles, but you can mod them a little bit, or you can attach trailers to them, or you can pay extra to drive bigger cars, or a lot more to drive 18 wheelers. They make money from these things, and commit to those options with contracts and guidance about what is allowed and what isn't allowed.

At that point the state department says, "Geez, we're real sorry that we didn't think about what we were doing before". They've already demonstrated that they walked back on their earlier policy, and they have set clear guidelines and boundaries about what they do and don't allow.

I realize you still might be mad if you don't want to drive your government-issued car on the road, and you're entitled to that feeling, but what more do you expect the state department to do in terms of apologizing?

Come on, were you really expecting that animation to be done in, like, 6 statements? Even once you understand the current of compression ratios minification of c code can achieve, this is still impressive. I bet the 'uncompressed' version of this code would still be interesting. Actually - here's where I kinda agree with you - it would probably be much more interesting, since we'd be able to understand it more readily.
> The point remains the article specifically cites a situation where the adoption process fails

No, it doesn't. The article vaguely alludes to a third-hand description of the failure of a legal tactic which taken literally is nonsensical; and as far as I can tell, when those two people tried in the sensible standard manner used by everyone else (the manner in which the article is about), did succeed.
There is no concept of "genome security" because you leave your genome everywhere you've ever been. If someone wants your genome and is willing to spend the money to sequence it, they've got it. Let's estimate 6pg of DNA per cell and that we need 100ng of DNA for sequencing. Rounded up that means 20000 cells left behind. That means you cannot leave a single hair, fingernail clipping, feces, etc anywhere that you do not trust to destroy them.
> Why not make it simple for people and just use one name?

Because YouTube Red is a brand targeted at people who are using YouTube now and want it to be ad free. Google Play Music All Access is a side benefit for that audience.

(Conversely, Google Play Music All Access is an existing product targeting people who want unlimited music streaming -- while the music use of YouTube is somewhat relevant to that audience, ad free YouTube viewing isn't a core benefit to that audience; so with the YouTube Red coming on board and including, and being included by, Google Play Music All Access, you've got one substantive product with two different brands targeted at different audiences.)
That's unfortunate about your drug conviction. Was the heroin really so attractive that you knowingly risked your career, livelihood and a year of your life for it or did you not understand the risks? I can appreciate you're angry but even if you don't like the law, you still have to follow it to keep yourself safe. Just as you would still have to pay off a protectionism gang to keep yourself safe.

The individuals who lost money most directly in the financial crisis are the people who gambled with their money trying to make more free money without doing any work. They're as much to blame, even more so that they're continuing to make the same gambles without even blinking! If your retirement fund is invested with a Wall St firm, you're part of the problem. Go put it with a company that isn't known to repeatedly rip off its customers. If you can't find one, then put it in a savings account. If the interest is too low, then accept that it's OK to have the occasional financial crisis as long as you make money all the rest of the time.
I hate the meme "Ideas don't matter, execution does" but there is a reason it exists.

I have a sandbox website that I have long neglected where I want to talk about the architecture of ideas. Execution reveals assumptions you did not know you had. To have a successful start up, you need a density of value in your concepts.

I think most failed start ups have serious errors in their ideas, kind of like early pregnancies that miscarry because they aren't viable.

Unlike pregnancy, a startup has opportunities to become aware that it doesn't work and to self correct -- to pivot, for example.

You might learn something from seeing all the demos, but a "rejection club" is not a great way to reach out to people and ask for access to that information. You aren't even yet rejected. This is just seriously not the way to approach this.
I have a question about lucid dreaming. Is there a reliable way to tell the difference between a lucid dream and, essentially, dreaming that you are having a lucid dream, because you are preoccupied with the idea?

Seems like if you are constantly working at, reading of, and hearing about lucid dreaming, the idea would make it into your dreams, lucid or not.
I don't think Apple gets a say over it. The already got sued & lost about price fixing on eBooks, I don't think they're going to try their hand at price fixing again.

Also practically what could Apple even do? Kick YouTube off of the AppStore? That'd just hurt Apple as well.
How so? What off the shelf guidance systems exist to home in on FM radio?

I'm sure there are tons of anti-SAM guidance packages which will steer something towards a SAM transmitter, but that's in an entirely different frequency band from what I remember.

Terminal guidance systems tend to be in the UHF and SHF bands, generally gigahertz and up where as FM is VHF at about 100MHz.

It'd take a fair amount of work to re-engineer a guidance package to find such a lower power FM transmitter and perform terminal guidance on it. Especially when the world is awash in FM all around there too.

Strict liability crimes are a travesty against justice. They really shouldn't exist; we should be looking to remove the ones we have rather than adding any more.

(GP wasn't claiming that you were literally committing a crime, rather suggesting that making it easier to convict innocent people would be a "crime" in a rhetorical sense)
Lol, they aren't even trying, how can they lose if they don't even begun the suit. Lol, apologist failure.

The former top justice official is on record stating they don't prosecute becuase they fear systemic risk, ie too big to jail, too big to fail, all just mottos and lies to let your fellow country club members off the hook.
This relationship has come to an end. It's not just that trust is now gone between Twitter and developers, it's that developers at around this time came to realise that building on someone else's platform always carries the risk that the CEO of the day will pull the rug. Or even worse, that some unnamed front line worker in the "app approvals departments" will pull the rug with no recourse.

Twitter is foolish for trying to get this going again. The love affair ended, time for new things.

No, this is incorrect. Google requires that you use their payment system (which takes 30%) [1]:

> In-store purchases: Developers charging for apps and downloads from Google Play must use Google Play’s payment system.

> In-app purchases: Developers offering products within a game downloaded from Google Play or providing access to game content must use Google Play In-app Billing as the method of payment.

> Developers offering products within another category of app downloaded from Google Play must use Google Play In-app Billing as the method of payment

The only exception they allow is if you're selling physical goods (which is the same as Apple's policy).

Well if the laser speedometer isn't accurate enough or isn't maintained properly then it shouldn't be enough to convict. If the evidence really is solid, throwing money at it won't make it go away.
That doesn't seem particularly difficult; prosecutors could just get a warrant to search his computer for it.
> What EXACTLY does high frequency trading contribute to society? Genuine question.

Liquidity.

Buy and hold traders are wonderful--until you want to sell your stock. Too many buy and holders and the liquidity disappears.

Several of the big companies found this out the hard way when opened special trading desks for their privileged clients to avoid those "dirty HFT traders". Everybody wanted to buy; nobody wanted to sell; there was no liquidity. They had to let some HFT folks in to make the markets.

Now, we can argue that HFT below some threshold of delay (10 minutes? 1 minute? 1 second? 1 millisecond?) is useless and counterproductive. However, the people trading quickly make the liquidity that the buy and hold folks rely on.

Absolutely, I certainly wouldn't recommend it. But the maintaince aspect is yet another argument in favor of my point, which is that people dropping over $100k on a car typically don't care if it holds value.

It's irrelevant if the i8 is still cool in 5 years to the people that can afford an i8.
From what I've seen this is all pretty tame. Brennan was definitely stupid to keep around an AOL email after becoming one of the highest ranking law enforcement officials, but it doesn't seem like there was that much damning information sitting around.
I stopped really looking at APIs ever since Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. started restricting the usefulness and access to them.

Its been a long time since I really thought about building any business on quicksand.

Now a days when I use an external API, I make sure it is not core to the product. If the relationship changes with the external provider, I need an escape that does not impact my product.

Which means of course that the external API cannot be "essential" - and in startup land "not essential" == "do not do"
It's very nice to hear that this story was such a success.
> I believe Music Key at this point is dead (Youtube Red replaces it). Music Key was only ever in beta and not ever fully launched (as it was invite only). So as far as I'm aware there are only 2 music/video subscriptions now: Youtube Red and Google Play Music.

Substantively, it seems that their is just one, with two different names: the announcement indicates that YouTube Red will include Google Play Music subscription, and vice versa, and the pricing is the same, so essentially there is one audio/video subscription service.
For the last 9 months I've been working (part-time) on a project that does exactly that. The startup where I work makes extensive use of this project to speed up our Python.

The basic infrastructure was in place after ~2 months. Since then, our team has been using it extensively, and I've been filling out the functionality & evolving the API (for example, testing different array iteration & access interfaces, to see what feels awkward vs convenient, balancing the trade-off between Nim-ness vs Numpy-ness vs Pythonic-ness, etc.).

You write your Nim procs, then annotate them with a special annotation (that's valid Nim, but inert most of the time). When you want to auto-generate Python wrappers around your Nim procs, there's a Python script you run that creates & compiles Python C-API code that exposes the Nim procs in Python as a shared library. This auto-generated code also translates Nim exceptions (including back-traces) to Python exceptions, calls the Nim GC before you return to Python runtime, etc. The auto-generated code also includes auto-generated Python docstrings, extracted from the Nim procs.

There's a Nim type that provides a nice Nim interface to Numpy arrays, so you can pass Numpy arrays into your Nim procs and access them natively. We've also recently added support for a few cute features, like the tuple return types & default parameter values. :)

The API is not yet solidified, so I'd call the project "alpha" or "beta", but it definitely works! The intention is to open-source it soon (once we're happy with the API).

Would you be interested in using something like this? What features would you need? Even better, are you a Python+Nim coder who could contribute?

Feel free to reply here or contact me via email (contact info in profile).
Completely agree. If the government wasn't checked by the justice system we'd have witch hunts left and right. I'm not defending the financial industry (there seems to be a higher level of corruption relative to other industries), but every industry has its uglies and what we definitely don't need is the gov't pointing fingers and jumping to conclusions on the morality of business decisions. It sucks because the system is slow and frustrating and bad actors do get away, but the alternative is much worse.
I'm moving into a Common in a few days. I'm paying about $250 a month more for a much nicer place with month to month flexibility than my friends living in a tiny 3BR with a 12 month lease. All in with utilities/internet/etc included it's about $100 more per month. It's pretty sweet. $100 more for a nicer place and full optionality is worth it.

What a horrible attitude you have!

Speaking as a boss who I'd like to think falls into the former category... If you don't ask you won't know what they'll do for you or not. Could be your boss doesn't help or makes it worse then you know exactly what to do next - quit,move to another team, or take it to hr id its really hostile. That dick boss is probably the reason for your burnout (aka situational depression caused by work) so the solution is in moving on.
A finance person would probably say the exact opposite - most deals are just stacking two or three obvious, properly factored/decoupled abstractions together, whereas software people seem (to a finance person) to deliberately complicate things.

> What would you do?

Pay content creators who don't participate and are on monetised accounts as if the Red views had been seeing adverts, show adverts to everyone else.

I'd extract money from the red customers for the no advert feature, who would be more invested in the feature because their favourite channels would be on it. The Red customers would extract value from viewing that user's content. I'd still be getting paid for the adverts seen by everyone else. The content creator would still getting paid.

I honestly don't see any loser in that besides the content creator maybe not getting as big a cut as they would have if they chose to take the deal. If the Red deal was better than the ad-content deal then I'd be better off treating creators that way and letting them opt-out.
