One thing that consistently strikes me as a problem with Kickstarter is that the investment is open ended. In this case, they received 15x the funding they were initially asking for. In some ways, this is good (it spreads your NRCs) but it also can lead to the scope of a manufacturing project dramatically increasing. Giving an inexperienced team millions of dollars and expecting their project to go smoothly is asking for trouble.
The twitter message you linked to says this:

The speedup was caused by replacing setjmp by _setjmp though.

I know this may sound mysterious, but for BSD/OSX... "yes". It is "well known" (if you're the sort of person who writes coroutine runtimes [1]) that _setjmp is far faster than setjmp. It's morally equivalent to 'sigsetjmp', but more portable, if less standard.

Serious question: why is this not implemented a Vim/Sublime/Atom/Emacs plugin?
It isn't cause for despair. In the grand scheme of things, none of us is so important and the desire to "achieve" more than we have is, in some sense, a wish to bless ourselves.

There's nothing to prevent you from studying those things today, within the constraints of your spare time. If you find the study intrinsically gratifying, I see no reason you should enjoy it any less because it probably won't result in a professorship.
I find the idea that the absolute best thing for a highly intelligent person to do is get to collage as soon as possible is a little sad. Life is not a race.
These island provide a valuable public service. If you've seen the Republican debates, you've heard Rubio declare war on Russia and Syria and ISIS, Fiorina reject diplomacy in all cases until we next decisively win a war, Kasich competing with both to be the most belligerent, and Bush wanting to go back to Iraq and Syria and celebrate his brother's big success there. A few years ago, John McCain held a campaign event where he sang a 'bomb Iran' song he made up.

If Japan and Russia and China and Korea and Argentina and Canada and Denmark keep these islands out there in uncertain status, they're doing the right thing. When a McCain or Rubio comes to power in those countries, they have a ready-made harmless casus belli to whine about without actually killing anyone. It's like how we have sports teams to consume our violent territorial primate impulses in a constructive healthy competition.

Whereas if Rubio comes to power in the USA aching for war with Russia, we're in danger of global nuclear war if the CIA and KGB guys can't keep their leaders in line.

I tell you, I didn't think it was possible to finish the debate thinking that Trump was the level headed, calm, and wise one in the group until I heard the other ones.

Have you seen the AHP AlphaTIG 200X? It's a 200A AC/DC tig/stick welder with nearly all the features of the PowerTig for $700. The only real difference I can see is that it only goes to 200Hz on pulse vs 500Hz for the PowerTig. Comes with everything for TIG and stick, including a flex head torch and a ball flow meter and dual 120/240 voltage. Supposedly it uses high quality components internally and it has an American company supporting it. It gets great reviews from everyone who tries it.

I've thought about buying one just to try it. I've only welded TIG on an ancient transformer 400A L-TEC. I really want to see what it's like to use one of these modern inverter machines.

I know someone who just got the Eastwood TIG and it looks like an older version of the AHP without pulse and AC freq adjustment. I'm hoping to try it out soon.

I can see why Miller is getting scared and trying to lock in businesses using DRM with these Chinese coming in at 1/4-1/3 the price and getting cheaper every year. The Chinese welders really got a bad name from Harbor Freight, and for good reason. But these new inverter machines are really starting to hold their own.

We will be launching paid plans soon. If you like it so much please take it for a spin and mail me your thoughts to meat dev@tryheld.com. We use it internally and find it useful and wont be shutting down fully even in the worst case scenario,we may trim some features that is as far as we would go.

There are Europeans who use credit or debit cards for everything, too. There are also several budget managers based on that being the case.

Tink is a Swedish one that I've used and it works well. It uses some Bayesian classifier or whatever to map payment codes to specific vendors, and to assign categories to vendors. When you login, it might say "we're uncertain about these 7 transactions, please classify them." In exchange for this very small amount of work, you get pie charts and trends and whatnot to visualize your spending habits.

When I first tried it years ago I immediately started baking my own bread and making my own hummus every day to cut down on lunch spending.

There are many consumer vendors in Sweden that don't even accept cash. Most bank offices don't handle any cash whatsoever.

My current company, Apperian, is the industry leader in a technology called "App Wrapping", for which we have several patents pending (I'm only there for another week, I'm leaving after nearly 6 years for a new adventure). Read more here: https://www.apperian.com/mobile-application-management/mobil...

iOS is different, but on Android we run the decompiled binaries through software making heavy use of finite state machines to alter the Dalvik VM code. These alterations allow us to automatically add features like SSO, analytics, security, self-updating apps, etc. to native apps without the customers making any code changes.

Because the binaries are provided to us by customers, and distributed 100% outside of the official App Stores, the risk of app-breaking updates is much reduced.

Over the years the technology has matured a great amount, and most apps "just work", but we still get apps that have some edge case we didn't think of, that requires manual intervention by engineering to update the wrapping software.

Now, the use-case that MS has is different from Apperian's, but similar enough that I can imagine what they are going through, especially trying to re-map the UI elements to native MS widgets. This is a hard problem that is difficult to nail seamlessly, and it is infeasible for them to tweak their code for every app. Even worse, the apps people want most (FB / Messenger, Google Maps, etc.) are the most complex of all, so their tech needs to be super advanced to get value out of it.

Well, of course, all of us deal with pride and so part of my motivation to type up the story is that I'm proud of what I've accomplished, yeah.

> Being a smart fellow, you must know that your experience is not evidence that this young man was not "pushed" too much and that he will "be fine."

Of course my experience is not evidence of someone else's experience. However, I have experience being homeschooled, and entering college early, so I think I have a degree of ability to relate to Ahaan Rungta's situation that others in this thread do not. I think my contribution to the thread is to provide a counter-point to those who were decrying his parents for pushing him too hard, or depriving him of a childhood, which can only be provided by personal experience.

Additionally, I think my story demonstrates the variability of how children, within the same family, respond to environmental and parental stimuli. My sisters were fine starting school early, I wasn't so much, and if I would have lived at home during my first year of college, instead of in a dorm four hours away, it would have been different.
Every software engineer should be aware of the RISKS digest (aka USENET's comp.risks).

The mailing list and digest just celebrated it's 30th birthday in August. There's an incredible wealth of history here regarding bugs, related issues, and the overall risks of our dependency on computers in society.

RISKS broke most of the major stories of the day including the Morris Worm, the AT&T Long Distance collapse, the Mars Climate Orbiter unit error, the Mars Pathfinder priority lockup, the Therac-25, the first email spam, the Pentium FDIV bug, and thousands of other interesting, amusing, and/or scary bugs.

Yes. You can extract your favorites as a CSV with this extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/rdio-enhancer/hmaa...

Now I'm looking around to see if it would be possible to import the contents of that CSV into another service. It looks like Spotify has an API to add a track to a user: https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/save-tracks-user/

And there's a third-party API some folks cooked up for Google's service: http://unofficial-google-music-api.readthedocs.org/en/latest...

Might have to play with them this weekend.
Currently, but Windows and Linux are coming, according to the page.
Does not hurt, but I think most people don't really care or remember the record label.

For me the killer feature would be a sophisticated implementation of "if you like this song, here are some you may also like". Sophisticated, because the music I like is usually an amalgam of multiple styles, for example jazz-funk-soul. The existing software is way too simplistic right now:

1.it usually classifies music in exclusive styles (soul or jazz, but not both),

2. the recommendations that come up are usually the well known artists, and I am more interested in less known ones (because I am familiar with all the big names already).
So, it shows your text as a hybrid of plain and rich text?

Cool. I tried to write a similar app.

But I couldn't find a rich-text-view API that didn't eat all my CPU all the time.

OP: How did you manage to solve that issue? Or do you just ignore it and let the CPU go crazy?

Most of my friends are (were?) on Rdio. I liked it to a point, until the music library I'd built was suddenly cut in half because reasons? Reasons pertaining to exclusivity arrangements with other services, or label agreements expiring, or whatever. But basically, reasons.

It's enough to turn me off of cloud-based music services entirely, honestly. I'm only considering possibly ever subscribing to Apple Music because they let you upload tracks you own that they don't have. I hear Google Music does the same thing? Or maybe I'll finally set up that Plex server...

I don't believe there is anything in my comment to suggest otherwise. I was simply trying to capture the sentiment that some feel when reading stories like these. I tend to think this feeling results not from a failure to achieve (after all, many of us have still done admirably), but rather the sense of regret that one misused a period of one's life. I didn't mean to communicate that "life is a race" at all.
We will get that fixed asap. Thanks for letting us know

I too received $5k for my 15% of a startup (I came on after the tech cofounder left, and took over that role but 90% of my time was development as opposed to truly CTO-level work). At the time felt it was a pittance given the number of hours I had put in, and from an hourly rate perspective it probably was, but the company was never profitable and was operating solely on the founder's capital.

As is the case 95+% of the time, the company closed a year or two later, as far as I know having never made a profit.
Auto-detections is based on the existing library of engines, which is only in its infancy right now. Engines have what's called a "sniff" script. This is a bash script written by the engine developer that searches the codebase for uniquely identifying files or content within files. Auto-detection won't work for every app, but it should help to get the majority of apps up and running quickly. For very custom apps, anybody can develop and publish their own engine. Information about engines is in the nanobox docs: https://docs.nanobox.io/engines/
Not to my knowledge but the nVidia Shield TV (more expensive than Nexus Player but better hardware and still runs Android TV) lets you stream from a PC running a supported nVidia GPU.

I've been very tempted to pick one up even if I don't use the game streaming function too often. It'll be a nice bump up from the Chromecast and I'll be able to occasionally fire up a game on the PC and play it on the living room TV (albeit at 1920x1080 instead of 2560x1440)
I was a Rdio subscriber for a year before Spotify, and I can say I left it because of:

- Buggy desktop app (used Flash player and would eat 100% CPU)

- Buggy mobile app [1]

- Restricted library (lots of tracks marked as "not available in your country", which defeats the point of having an online streaming service).

It's not so much despair but longing for something that never could have been. My parents knew what was wrong with me but couldn't understand it themselves. They thought it would be best to hold me back so that I learned how to socialize. It was a rough education.

When I do have spare time you bet you'll find me working on a problem, reading a paper, or studying. It's almost like regret knowing that I won't be able to dedicate my life to something I love for the mere circumstance I come from.

When I read about stories like this one I can't help but feel happy for them. They're lucky! They got exactly what they wanted and needed! Not all of us can say the same.
According to my parents I could read at age 3, I can certainly remember petitioning my father to be allowed to read The Hobbit when I was 5. My mother got into trouble when I started school because the teachers didn't know what to do with a 5 year old who could read and write!

I was taught by the "look and say" method, now not used in British schools at least. They teach phonics now. Interestingly my daughter is dyslexic and struggled horribly in school to learn by the phonics method. It was when I started teaching her the old fashioned way that she picked it up.

At this point, it sounds like you are leaving the company. There should be provisions for doing so in your company's organizational document.

However, if the company hasn't made much money and doesn't have any customers, then there is virtually no brand/identity and the IP is nearly worthless. Your goal now should be to avoid being liable for the company's debt and documenting a clean break while leaving on good terms. This will allow your cofounder(s) to continue on if they wish to do so while leaving you in the clear to pursue other interests.

If I were you I'd sign a document giving all IP and rights/equity you may have had back to the company and walk away. Hire a lawyer first before doing so to verify that you are in the clear.

I'd write off the time you put into the startup and consider the effort you put in as an educational investment in yourself. And congrats!, you just walked away from your first failed startup, I hope you learn from it and get back on the horse asap.

It's a bit disingenuous to list a bunch of languages (along with custom logo icons) that are _presumably_ supported by nanobox, only to force visitors to drill-down one-by-one to discover that only one out of three have any support at all, and the others are just placeholders saying "please contribute".

On the positive side, I guess it is better odds than a state lottery.

Full disclosure: I work for Nanobox. We're prepping Nanobox Cloud for release likely in 2016 https://nanobox.io/cloud/. With Nanobox Cloud, you'll be able to take the exact same environment configuration you have locally and deploy it to a cloud provider (starting with Digital Ocean but others will soon follow). The same engine used to run your app locally will be used in the production app. The whole workflow has been designed to provide parity between development and production environments.

That's exactly it. It's fine for a game that makes minimal use of UIKit and doesn't have high performance requirements.

Any complex non-game app will require a UI rewrite using the Windows UI framework bridge. That means many months of work, compared to the 1-day effort of bringing an Android app over using "Project Astoria".
