LittleD targets devices the size of an Arduino, while SQLite requires at least some sort of operating system offering a filesystem interface. The feature set of LittleD is also reduced as it supports only simple queries.

The corresponding paper [1] claims "SQLite requires at least 200 KB of code space and cannot run on popular platforms such as the Arduino." For comparison, Arduinos based on ATmega microcontrollers only offer up to 256 KB of flash memory at maximum.

Power Law and the Long Tail
Nothing inherent to gameworks, rather when devs implement gameworks nvidia is prone to asking them to turn up features that will hurt AMD and older nvidia cards without any increase in performance. With the fallout 4 example the ray lighting, in other games it's unnecessary tessellation. Nvidia has even asked devs to disable features that don't negatively impact nvidia, but positively impact AMD like async compute.

It's easy for nvidia users to see these practices as okay because they are only hurting other people, but given a new generation of cards these measures will be leveled against them too until they upgrade. Nvidia has no qualms about fucking over their own customers so long as it fucks over amd customers more.

Just because the loss hasn't been realized yet doesn't mean it isn't real. Among other things, prior commenter can't move to a different house because s/he no longer has a downpayment and won't be able to refinance to take advantage of lower rates. An increase in housing values is real, and so is a decrease, and it's real even before those losses/gains have been realized by selling (for instance, a HELOC can get the gains out before selling).
This looks like a very cool project. I cloned it and generated the docs, and while the code is certainly well-document, I didn't see any type of high-level narrative or public APIs. Was hoping to see at least a "littleD.h" or something, but it seems you have to do some source diving or look at the tests to figure out how to use this library.
In the last 100 years, the advance of science and technology has enabled us to make better use of those resources, making people wealthier. Population growth seems to be catching up with the advance now, leaving less resources per capita.

Or maybe it's just slower times before the next big breakthrough. Infinite energy from fusion, and AI doing all our work would certainly allow us to truly fill up the world.

27 years old, almost 28 in 11 days. I passed high school some how I was like #534 out of #540 of the class. I was accepted to sub-campus college dropped out and then I was accepted into another sub-campus college kicked out for low GPA. I started my working career as a Pharmacy Technician for a local grocer then in 2006 I changed companies to work as a Pharmacy Technician for a health insurance company.

While working at this new employer I was able to show my superiors I knew how to provide solutions to their problems without the need for IT overhead. So I created a basic CRM in MS Access that integrated with our autodialer, pharmacy system, fax system this system was used to outreach members about a pharmacy benefit of switching to a cheaper generic drug rather than the expensive drug they were taking. At this point my title then changed to Analyst.

After that journey I decided to switch roles within the same company and move to Florida where I was given the title of Applications Engineer. I worked on a Care Management system for remote nurses going in-home to at-risk members. This system was horrid and looked like Windows 98 ... so I asked if I could re-build it with a JavaScript/Bootstrap front-end and re-wire a bit of the backend with the other 6 engineers on the team. My request was granted and I was tasked to other projects to beautify and re-engineer.

Now I'm a Systems Analyst for a Oracle-owned Talent Management System with the same company (7 years) ... pretty much doing configuration, answering questions and consulting.

So... I really want a programming job (I'm looking) and now I'm just working on a side-project to make a Talent Management System better than Oracle's piece of shit.

To get access to patches from Red Hat you have to purchase an annual service agreement, for a two socket box it's around $300.

If you bought a copy of Windows XP at release it likely cost you around that much and patches and fixes were available to you for fourteen years at no further cost. The equivalent from Red Hat would have run $4200.
Probably neither the Chicago manual of style nor my Sunday school grammar book would condone such writing.
That's a good point, actually. Dropping cost of typical consumer goods and food really masks how much more money gets thrown into credentialism, rent, and healthcare. This fact means that it's easy to pick up a new X and fill your apartment with Y, but it's nearly impossible to pay off your student loans or move out of your parent's house. Low cost of goods allows people to be massively in debt but not starving to death.

Yes, currently you need to build it yourself to do size comparisons.

I too have been fascinated by this.

It's always been true of human nature: the desire to reach some sort of conclusion as quickly as possible.

Humans seem to have a lot of trouble with uncertainty, and when faced with uncertainty we tend to concoct narratives that are informed by our perceptions of reality. The danger of social media is that such narratives can spread quickly to others, and a mass delusion can be formed based on faulty or incomplete information.

This is a lesson that shouldn't be new to social media, because "proper" news outlets have made horrible mistakes in early reporting many times as well, but it's worth noting: never, ever blindly assume that you've heard the whole story, no matter what the source. This is doubly true if the story you're hearing seems to imply that one or multiple actors are a combination of incompetent and malicious that stretches credulity.

Humans make decisions for reasons, and although we all make mistakes, usually we're not malicious imbeciles.
When stories with titles like "Your Move, SpaceX: Blue Origin Just Secretly Landed a Reusable Rocket"[0], "Blue Origin Beats SpaceX In Landing Reusable Rocket"[1], "Move over SpaceX! Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin successfully lands a reusable rocket in Texas beating Elon Musk's firm to it"[2], are the main articles about it for me on google news, I can understand how he might feel the need to make the point to the general public that they've not achieved the feat SpaceX is attempting.

"In this case, they were not doing the most important thing in TDD, refactoring. Not really sure you can even call this TDD. Looks more like a CF created by a bunch of folks under time pressure who thought it would be easier to add stuff than refactor."

To be fair, this is a common failure mode when people try to do TDD.

(to be clear, common amongst failures; not necessarily most common amongst failures, and not necessarily a terribly common outcome overall)
Thanks for sharing the research, it's fascinating that there has actually been serious investigation of this.

That sentence has two complementisers, which the OP's sentence specifically did not. Introducing complementisers completely changes the rules and I think makes embedding much more possible.

MSFT notifies every large costumer of security issues sometimes months in advance, the NSA don't get an exploit just a notification that a security issue has been detected, some mitigating actions they can take, sometimes an IDS/IPS signature from MSFT partners and an expected date for the fix.

Smaller business costumers (pretty much any one with a TAM) will get notification before patches are released and in some cases will get the updates prior to the normal release window on "Patch Tuesday".

Microsoft isn't the only company that does that, you can't expect businesses with 1000's of machines to be able to roll out patches on a moments notice so they share information before it becomes a Zero-Day issue for their clients.

There was a question here along time ago asking if venture backed companies had better outcomes than non venture backed ones and the above quote is very close to what my response was.

When you take VC, you have a very powerful and connected person in your corner who will fight for you from the start to the end. And if things don't work out then all other things being equal I'd guess you have a better than 10x chance over a non VC taking firm of having a "soft landing" via an aqui-hire.

True, if real life conversations were like interview conversations, we would judge people/friends whether they gave us the answer we expected when we asked them a question or not. That's ridiculous.

Lets not forget that Windows XP is a commercial product, for which people paid money and that was the only reasonable choice for about 8 years, the gap between the release of XP and that of Windows 7 (Vista was a flop due to poor drivers).

In these 8 years a lot of companies and individuals bought computers and then stayed on XP because (1) Windows upgrades cost money, (2) compatibility issues and (3) fear of upgrades (Microsoft never educated its users to upgrade, quite the contrary, they've made Windows users fear upgrades because of their fuck-ups with Windows ME or Vista).

Windows XP reached end of life on April 8, 2014, with people being stuck on it without a migration path. Nowadays 5 year old desktops and laptops are often good enough and don't need to be replaced. If you had a company with dozens or hundreds of computers, what would you do? Would you pay $120 before taxes for the Home edition or $199 before taxes for Pro, per computer? Would you try to negotiate better terms maybe? Or would you stay on XP because it works? The offer for a 1-year free upgrade for Windows 10 is not valid for XP and Vista.

And yes, Microsoft supported XP for 12 years. That's 4 years after those 8 years in which XP was the only choice. That's hardly an accomplishment.

They still have users on XP. For those users they have an ethical responsibility to provide security fixes, or a cheap migration path (why is the upgrade to Windows 10 not valid for XP?), or the source code such that they can fix problems by themselves.
I trust my teams to manage themselves - and part of that is learning for yourself. Engineers learn through problem solving.
And it occurred to me that Russia might have "accidentally" intruded into Turkey's airspace to provoke a reaction to give Russia a pretext to take stronger action in Syria.

I don't know if that even makes sense, but Russia is in the driver's seat. The U.S. is taking a nap.
My biggest problem with the FSF's point of view is that they see these kind of eventualities as inevitable for all non-free software.

I would claim that there is not only room for non-free open source software sans abuse, but even closed source software. When it comes to something you want to use as a core foundation on which to build (whether you are building software, general business, academic work etc.) I completely understand how this is very likely to lead to you being exploited. This applies for example to an operating system, or a programming platform (JVM, .NET, etc.). But there are plenty of places where you can use closed source software that don't put you in such a disadvantageous position.

One example is non-required tooling like an IDE. If Jetbrains goes Dr. Evil on everyone tomorrow (though I guess some would argue their recent pricing model changes have done that), there is still Eclipse and plenty of room for someone else to break into that space. Changing IDEs isn't nothing, but it's not like I'd have to rewrite my code.

Another is various general XaaS offerings. If Heroku (or more likely Salesforce) goes off the deep end tomorrow, worst case is that I have to administer some servers myself. Again, I don't lose anything that I would have had before anyway.

The current trend is already building everything on top of open source infrastructure. Even the JVM and .NET are open source now, as are most other pieces of the development puzzle (Databases, libraries of all shapes and sizes, etc.). In fact, I don't think even a big player like Microsoft would have much luck trying to get people to invest in another closed source platform. So if we walk this line between open and closed software, what do we lose by using some replaceable closed source tools or services? That is one question I think the FSF doesn't have a good answer for.
The article makes it seem like they were asking those questions, he was just missing it.

To your blaming the interviewers, part of being VP level is being able to pick up on stuff like that. He admits he missed it. They may be concerned, as a result, that he'll "miss it" in other ways too.

Very humble article, and great lesson learned by the author.

SpaceX has been launching and landing non-orbit rockets for a long time: http://youtube.com/watch?v=9ZDkItO-0a4

There's nothing magical about 100 km that makes Blue Origin's rocket more useful. 100 km is just a round number. It's not useful until it's literally 100 times more powerful so it can get to orbit. Implying that Blue Origin's achievement is comparable to what SpaceX is attempting is disingenuous. But, predictably, that's exactly what the news media is doing.
I don't buy the argument that it is unethical to find clever ways to gain services for a lower price. If actual harm is caused to an individual, then ethics come into play - but corporations are not people. "Harming" them doesn't cause me any angst. Even if I did concede that corporations deserve the same ethical treatment as actual people, they control their own tools, methods, and processes. If they created mechanisms that harm their own business, then it is their responsibility to close those loopholes, not mine as a consumer to opt out of using them.
When is it unethical for Facebook to pay less tax than the average working person?

When is it unethical for BP to say they're sick of cleaning up their oil spills and they're going to stop doing it?

When is it unethical for the bankers and mortgage lenders to do what they did in 2008?

When companies interact with us, they appear to have no ethical obligations of any kind, so it's amusing to think we're somehow bound to be ethical towards them.
I totally agree with you... I think it's unethical from airlines to have such things in place

Paying in another currency isn't unethical; the airline is expressing a strong desire to avoid exchange expenses and risk by dealing in their home currency. I understand the FTC position that it's not an offering directed at US consumers, however.

Sometimes there may also be regional differences in assessed fees and when they are displayed (maybe the Chilean price shown at ticket selection includes a different checked bag allowance, or does not show any airport fees that would be shown at time of payment)
I assume Intel disables ECC in consumer CPUs to help prop up the prices of the Xeon models which are essentially the same CPUs but at a higher price point.

Absolutely.
The first example, the one you mention, is pure arbitrage, and is perfectly acceptable, even a good thing, in every other exchange.

I don't see the problem with any of the others as well, and I'm a closet moralist most of the time. Things like the "hidden city" are attempts by the airlines to game the system; they're trying to take advantage of their customer's behavior.
If you consume only 50% of what you earn, you can pay it off in 2-3 years. I consume far less than 50% of what I earn.
I will take it - the airline charges the maximum their datamining of your information tells them you are able to tolerate.

However I find it a bit dishonest on your part to claim it is easy with 2 programmer jobs to afford a 765k house, including a ~150k down payment which puts you at jumbo rate mortgage rates and hide the fact that you used the equity from a previous property and you bought an extremely old house (I've lived in Boston all of my life, no way would I buy a home that old).

IMHO, for that kind of 8bit device/size, the app storage requirements is most likely limited.

define a few C structs with standard read() write() function call are most likely be enough and it is easy to design/test/debug.

One has a lot more control on RAM/ROM/Code space with that approach. You can easily find out where/how every single byte/bit of memory is used.
