I don't know about you, but if the universe has a hidden inexplicable mechanism that started to slowly increase the temperature of the Earth fifty years ago, I would be very, very worried. Like, frog-in-a-slowly-boiling-pot worried.

Sounds like you would actually prefer that scenario to the mundane scientific consensus, where all we have to do is demolish the fossil fuel industry, cut back CO2 emission, and hopefully we could keep the number of displaced people in the order of several millions by the end of this century. Well, to each his own.
Alternately, how about being able to undo a vote, like reddit?
The odd thing is the author mentions that even if you don't make (a lot) of money, you are still doing what you love (and thus must be happy and succesful by any meaningful criteria), and then later fails to bring this back into the conclusion.

There is probably little chance that you'll be good enough at something, to use that skill to acquire vast amounts of money if you are not passionate about that skill. But the chance that what you love is something that is In demand enough to make you rich, is also pretty slim.
Just to be clear, I wasn't suggesting anything was wrong with your post (especially since it's about collision detection), just that there was valid point made in general.

It is SO GREAT to be able to read things without zooming or scrolling!!! I'm so excited!!!

It needs minor tweaks to make it uniformly readable across arbitary screen sizes, but in general this just made my day!
Very true. From a philosophical standpoint, I still believe considering the zero effect case is interesting, but from a practical standpoint, I will gladly cede the point to you. This process seems an impressively good balance for a very hard, miserable situation.

this puts you outside the reach of big ad $, which is moving towards programmatic buying and serving retargeting ads.

You may be able to link up to a big player, but hosting things yourself will require quite a bit of overhead and they pay off may not be worth it, unless you're getting substantial volume (or appealing to a very targeted audience)

btw, traditional display ad CTR is rubbish from an advertisers perspective and we all want to go all in on programmatic + retargeting.
This is cool. But it was wrong for my mother's name bonnar.

You probably answered this elsewhere, but I can't find it. What has kept you from using a CSS framework?
Let's state explicitly why it's harder to base a business atop a decentralized network - because a business makes money by creating friction in the service, and in a decentralized model a friction too strong will be routed around.

Except categorically is an awful business to be in. You might not have a job after your first LP, if your LP fails to return. It's an extremely binary business model - you either succeed in the top 10% of all VC funds available or you simply pack up and do something else. That's why you typically see people get into the VC business when money is not an issue for them...fund failure is much easier to stomach.

There is a good chunk of the software industry that's been doing safety-critical software for 40 years. Think of avionics, medical devices, nuclear reactors, auto control software.

It's true that this sector is not generally associated with Silicon Valley. However, the programmers exist, and there's a large body of accumulated lore in how to write bug-free software. The big question is: can Apple/Google/Tesla hire them? It's not like the guys who build iCalendar are suddenly going to be working on self-driving cars, it's more that Apple's going to import people that have worked in similar industries to form the nucleus of their self-driving car groups. And my money is that they'll be successful: working conditions and compensation are much better at SV giants than at your typical enterprisey software consultancy that subcontracts for Boeing and Detroit.

Come to think of it, I wonder if Google's Alphabet restructuring was largely to enable the groups within it that need to work in a bug-free environment to develop bug-free cultures.

I ran into the awful performance of the Get/SetPixel methods doing some work with font rendering a while back. The solution I chose ended up similar to the StackOverflow post on linked on the page but it made the code unmaintainable enough that I just abandoned it entirely[1]. I might revisit that next month.

"Why didn't they discover the new number was higher right away? It's a thing that scientists are ashamed of—this history—because it's apparent that people did things like this: When they got a number that was too high above Millikan's, they thought something must be wrong—and they would look for and find a reason why something might be wrong. When they got a number close to Millikan's value they didn't look so hard. And so they eliminated the numbers that were too far off, and did other things like that..."

If that's the case why use it? I'm still holding out for Neovim's killer feature; I'm not switching just because they use more modern APIs or removed Amiga support; I don't care about those things as an end user.
It is not an obscure fact that investing shitton of money in marketing will yield better adoption than investing the same money in the product. People "who have donated time, money, and services to IRC over its life span" generally focused on the technical side.
This also depends entirely on your definition of a "wildly talented human being".

For the record, my mom says I'm a wildly talented human being.

This is just a typical cognitive dissonance response (the author's, not yours) to "I swear they're smart! It's not that they're not smart that made them fail."
That's nonsense because it's so binary. Let's say you have product that takes 5 engineers to build without any consideration for security and safety whatsoever, and it gives you a profit margin of x. Now say you add one engineer, which halves risk, and gives you a margin of (0.9 * x). Then you add another, halves risk again, profit is (0.8 * x). And so on.

How many engineers should this company add to act 'ethically'? According to you, they need to cancel the product (I think - only for an ungenerously rigid interpretation of your comment).

Risk is not 'it harms people or not'. Knowing whether your product harms people is more difficult still. And the question of who is responsible, more still. (and that's not just between the supplier and the user - also to other actors. To take the Grindr example, was it an engineering problem, a product design problem, a user education problem or a governance problem? I could argue for all of them. Who should act to mitigate the risk? I don't know, and it's not as clear-cut (in the abstract) as some here are letting on).
I agree with your sentiment, but I am unclear as to how to actually implement it. An imperative to cancel the product in the absence of a court judgment seems a bit extreme. I think a series of escalation steps is in order.

Escalation steps inevitably involve a 'nuclear option' whose size and expense relegate it to just the most sure and most aggrieved wrong parties. These days that option is a class-action lawsuit. It seems to work best when deterrence is the primary goal, plaintiffs rarely ever get anything of value out of it.

It works as you would expect, but one really wants a pathway to punish negligence without having to get lawyers involved. I believe this is usually done with market solutions to make 'buyer beware' less awful on the ignorant.

But the sheer scale of the stated problem, forcing all web service developers everywhere, to consider possible lines of attack on their software, under pain of loss of livelihood, seems too general and too unenforceable to be useful.
The secret is that if people pay you to do this thing you can't not do, you'll be able to do more of it.

For instance: I can't not draw comics. I just finished spending four and a half years on a graphic novel. I like to draw them and I seem to be pretty decent at them if the reactions I've been getting are any guide.

But I have to pay rent. And power, and internet. And pay for my subscription to Adobe's Creative Suite, and upgrade my computer now and then.

If nobody's paying me to draw my comics, I'm going to need to find a way to pay those bills anyway. If I'm not lucky enough to have someone else pay them for me, then I need to get a job.

There are only so many hours in a day. A job will take up a lot of them. And I'll have to wedge tiny bits of making comics in the edges of what's left. I'll need to deal with a commute, and with spending all my energy at work, and just wanting to come home and sleep instead of draw.

So I draw my comics, put them out for free, and put a tip jar out with them. If enough people start throwing money in that tip jar on a regular basis, I can start cutting back on my day job. Eventually I can get to a point where I'm able to pay all my bills from comics, and don't need to worry about taking time from them to keep a roof over my head. I can spend my entire workday thinking about making my comics and drawing them, and get a lot more pages out a lot faster.

A lot of my fans are taking advantage of the fact that I'll draw comics anyway. But a subset of my fans have enough money to throw a few bucks my way and help ensure that I can make a lot more of the comics they like.

Does that make sense?
Huge improvement, thanks Dan!
How would they know whether the bridge is designed badly? What's the reasoning behind your underlying suggestion?
Of course it's a bad solution in that case. You've picked a case where a specific business requirement precludes using an external service. In which case, why would you use slack anyway, since it would then necessitate a chunk of your communication be external as well?

Now, please let's move forward, not backward.
China is still a good long-term investment
Nope, what would happen is that everyone without inside information would simply not trade in that security. You would not have a stock market because only people that know the company very well would dare buy stock in it. The cost of capital for companies would skyrocket and the US economy would tank.

It is amusing to me how when all these amateur game theorists create these hypotheticals to prove that insider trading is good, they always assume that there is an endless supply of chumps with an endless supply of money willing to take the opposite end of the trade. Well, let me tell you, people are not that stupid. Especially people with money.

Back in the dark ages, most people with money felt the best place to keep them was locked in a chest in the deepest room in a large castle. There was very little investment, and the dark ages were a time of extreme poverty. It is only through a long series of laws and institutions developed over couple of hundred of years, that we have reached this point of mobility of capital, which allows capital to go where it is most useful, and greatly benefits the economy. But if we remove investor protections things can slide back very easily and very quickly.
Sounds like they're warming up the anti-Bernie talking points machine.
Yes, it's pretty much self-evident truth. "Genuinely easier to use", even if it was clear-cut thing, doesn't explain the levels of popularity Apple products have. Lifestyle branding does.

It reminds me of Raspberry Pi. There are lots of more powerful boards that you can buy cheaper, but people still mostly buy RPi because it is the brand.
> Now look at this graph and please tell me if temperature did not rise in the 21st century.

These aren't "graphs", they're histograms, and it's impossible to read any trend lines off of them. So they're useless for this discussion.

> Look at the graph titled "2001 Projections vs. Observations", and see how closely the prediction matches reality starting 2001.

First of all, since the IPCC TAR was published in 2001, anything before 2001 is not a "projection", it's a "fit of model to past data". (And notice that the model does not fit all of the past data very well; before the mid-1900s in Figure 2 there is significant divergence. A model that can't retrodict the past can't be expected to predict the future.)

Second, these graphs are useless because they just give the "prediction" as a single line, with no error bars and no differentiation between the different sets of model runs that were based on different assumptions for how CO2 would rise. In other words, these graphs are spin, not science.
I agree that it's terrible advice, but the article is clickbait and lacking in substance.

Real Climate is much too biased a source, and has been caught too many times in the past being disingenuous, for me to take anything they say seriously. Sorry.
They spend just maintenance level. Tech press and media does the marketing for them.
The problem becomes... what if the CEO is unaware of it? Volkswagen, for example. It is highly unlikely in my mind that some engineer somewhere in the trenches decided, in desperation, to add in a few lines of code to make sure the engine passed emissions tests. But, do I think the CEO of Volkswagen signed off on adding the code? No.

There's a diffusion of responsibility that makes it hard to point to any given person after the fact. How can we arm people - software engineers, but product designers, project managers, QA engineers, CEOs, and the welders on the assembly line can say, "Hold on, stop, this isn't right!"?
Just get up earlier, if you like that. Moving the timezone probably wouldn't have any longer term effects.

In Spain, there are in `the wrong' timezone, ie they are on German/Polish time. As a result, life still happens at reasonable solar times, but at late wallclock times.
Navy SEAL explains the most valuable leadership lesson SEALs learn in Hell Week
Centralization is being driven by a lot of things, not least of which is that decentralization is really really hard. But a lot of it comes from mobile -- the idea behind decentralized apps before mobile came along was that bandwidth was not very dear -- oh, sure, it was limited in the days when IRC first became popular, but there was no reason to leave any of it unused. Local compute power was the same -- you may not have had a lot of it, but there was no reason to leave what you had sitting idle. Mobile is different. Idle CPU power can mean the CPU is throttled down to save on power and heat dissipation. Instead of staying connected to a server at all times, use "push" notifications so the server can let you know when it's worth using battery power and metered data to talk to the server.

Decentralized systems, and peer-to-peer systems, and even centralized systems designed around computers designed to sit next to a wall outlet and draw power from a practically unlimited source are all being replaced by systems that are more centralized and better equipped to talk to mobile. AOL Instant Messenger is dying because it was built around an older paradigm and, at least last time I bothered to try it, is an incredible battery drain on Android devices. Newer messenger apps that are built mobile first or at least make mobile an equal partner to PCs are winning instead. And it's the same for group chat -- IRC is built for old-fashioned PCs, Slack is built with mobile in mind.
Giving "IRC" a quarter of a billion dollars isn't a good idea. Giving it to a company making a single IRC client, on the other hand, would probably result in something like Slack, only much better.
I'm not a monied interest. But I lived a few blocks away from a University and when all the students went home for the summer the management company decided to just go airbnb year round. There were four front doors within ten feet of each other on a small landing. It was horrible. I was able to deal with during the summer but once it was clear that it would continue throughout the school year I broke my lease and left. My credit is still screwed due to that.
We have different experiences. I usually see the skeptic crowd talking about the science and the believer crowd talking about how fanatical the skeptics are.

How early does these trigger growth ? I find it a bit paradoxical that in a time of resource denial growth should occur. Obviously I'm missing something.
So the attacker got the password for a work email (and let's be honest, it was likely a shared account amongst a department not an individual) that was used for the CDN account hosting their serve code, where the attacker appended a malware download link to their script running on however many sites they work with.

And they were able to convince website owners to grant them access to visitor's connection in order to prevent people from blocking ads? And they were also able to convince them to pay money for this service?

I'm in a weird place. I've always been passion driven, to an extreme. Now I'm running out of desire and suddenly things become insufferably painful. Beside passion I think it's good to know how to 'work' and be productive passionlessly.
Well, I think it depends on whether you are talking about decentralized networks, as I read the parent to your comment to mean, or decentralized ownership/administration of networks, as I read your comment to mean.

That is, the network can be decentralized but still administered by a single business entity, in which case you theoretically get a network more robust to outages, or the network can be composed of many separate entities, in which case you are theoretically protected from the bad behavior of any one administering entity, since there are many others (as in your example).

The other reason it may be harder to build a business atop a decentralized network is that the costs associated extra hardware, software, and locations and troubleshooting required to achieve the gains of a decentralized network may outweigh the gains achieved by doing so.
Keep, but as others suggested it can still be tweaked a bit.

Plugins must opt-in to asynchronous job-control.

There have been drastic changes to the event loop and redraw logic, which makes some operations feel "different" (some slower, some faster). We have not intentionally made any general performance improvements, because the performance bottlenecks of Vim/Neovim hinge on the regex engine (which is primarily maintained by Bram) and vimscript interpretation--nothing else.

Job control is implemented in Neovim for co-process (not in-process) coordination. This means that potentially long-running vimscript calculations can be offloaded to a child nvim process. But Neovim 0.1 does not have a faster vimscript engine per se.
So what if teachers hate No Child Left Behind?
