Here's my official prediction: there's going to be a sea change in the FPGA market in the next five to ten years. The reason FPGAs are so complex is that more than half of the die space is given over to the routing structures. This means that to be even in the ballpark of ASIC performance they have to have a complicated mish-mash of logic tiles and all sorts of other special-purpose tiles (like arm cores etc.).

The die space issue is an artifact of using SRAM to store the configuration (likewise using flash is also too big and cumbersome), not to mention the power usage. However, the new non-volatile memories coming up (like memristors or nano-ram) are absolutely minuscule and will have a dramatic effect on the competitiveness of FPGAs. All the sudden you can have an extremely regular structure, with no specialized tiles, with performance comparable to ASICs. In fact, there's an argument that they will outperform ASICs because as we start getting into quantum effects because of die feature shrink, being able to function despite a relatively high degree of errors (which FPGAs can route around with minimal performance loss) will become a huge advantage.

Here's a paper that talks about it:

https://www.ece.ucsb.edu/~strukov/papers/2006/Worldcomp2006.... [PDF]

The very regular structure of the iCE40 is quoted as a reason for its choice as a reverse-engineering target - this helps a great deal with the tooling issue. If the above prediction is true, then FPGAs can potentially be: extremely regular, on par with ASIC performance, and potentially cheaper to produce because of economies of scale. These factors will, I believe, change the dynamics of the market to a point where an open source FPGA is a viable option for crowd-sourcing.

I feel the same way. https://www.cakebrew.com/ does make brew a bit friendlier, but it's still not simple enough for me to explain to my parents.
"Safe-spaces" are practical application of the principle, accidentally unearthed by xyz-equality movements of the 20th century, that people generally don't like hurting others and hence you can control them by appearing to be hurt, whether you are or not.

People modeling victim behaviors to remove everything that causes them discomfort aren't something to be afraid of, but also their cries for attention aren't something to be treated too seriously. Allowing them to get their way just reinforces further learning of this silly strategy.
Similar experience. Fix with inability to respond to some crazy github-generated email addresses rolled out publicly in less than 48 hours. It helps that I was able to tell them "I am pretty sure it's your regex on valid email addresses because I can reproduce it with other emails like $this"

I also recall they fixed an issue where "--" at the top of an email I was replying to was making the whole thing look like a signature and when I tried to send it was warning me about an empty message.

What are the alternatives to MAS? I've been considering distributing a small OSX app at a fairly low price based on its value. Are there any good ways to sell low-priced licensed software that support pushing updates to users easily?

Edit: I should mention that in my particular case, the app is an Electron (formerly Atom Shell) app, so a solution that involves an ObjC library might be a bit difficult to implement.

> The "liberal bias" you talk about often manifests as "let's care for the poor". Believe it or not, most humans think that way. Should we give equal air time to psychopaths, just to be fair?

No, the "liberal bias" is believing that the other side is psychopaths and doesn't want to care for the poor.
That there is no legal definition of "authorized access" is the problem with the CFAA. One could argue that if the website is sending the data to your computer, you're authorized to access it, and that's the end of it. That'd definitely be the most favorable interpretation for the tech community. Unfortunately, in many cases, extrapolations like those you've invoked are used instead: "He knew he wasn't supposed to have it", "we told him to go away", etc.

There is of course no real ambiguity when you say "I met mix Sam at the shop, and we picked up some pancake mix."

I did because it had the best quality video chat at the time, before Skype became a thing, but that was probably 15 years ago. My current company used to use it for in-office communication as recently as five years ago when I was first hired. It was an abysmal mess of sending out group chats as individual windows every time someone had a question. For a software company it was really disgraceful.
I see, okay. Thanks!

But, sadly, they aren’t replacing XUL with HTML.

Instead, they plan to render the UI natively, with only "some" parts in HTML.

So, instead of XUL + HTML, we’re going to get GTK + WinForms + Cocoa + HTML. Great, eh?

And we lose the ability to style it with addons – your themes can only change the background image of the header bar, that’s it.

And the remaining addons can’t modify the UI (tree style tabs, bottom tabs, etc) anymore either, instead you can only modify page content.

I’m seriously pissed off now, because Firefox was the last browser where I could actually customize it how I liked it.

I hope the person who made this decision is going to have to use software without any config options and with horrible defaults, like GNOME. For the rest of their life. May their car always have have either 60°C+ heat, or -20°C AC, may their screen of their phone always either be too dark, or too bright.

Wikipedia has a starting point:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriageable_age#History_and_s...

one interesting quote (of course there is the Roman law you are refering to as well):

"...most of Northwestern Europe, marriage at very early ages was rare. One thousand marriage certificates from 1619 to 1660 in the Archdiocese of Canterbury show that only one bride was 13 years of age, four were 15, twelve were 16, and seventeen were 17 years of age while the other 966 brides were at least 19 years of age at marriage. And the Church dictated that both the bride and groom must be at least 21 years of age to marry without the consent of their families; in the certificates, the most common age for the brides is 22 years. For the grooms 24 years is the most common age, with average ages of 24 years for the brides and 27 for the grooms."

I used to do 1h free with startups (free for them only, the government paid me), and I echo your impression of "perfect start-ups" (which is a better name than I ever thought of). For whatever reason, I only saw the perfect start-ups when they were hurtling towards launch; then they'd come to me and ask a question like "how do I sell my product?" or "I've mortgaged my house, when will I start to be able to make payments from my company?" Those were always sad.

I loved the "interesting people" -- they still had time to do something useful. Before you launch a startup, you have unlimited time (it's rarely true that you must be the first entrant in a market to succeed, so time is on your side). I would always tell them to do a "feasibility analysis" -- a long document in which you:
1. Clearly state what it is your company does
2. Clearly state who your customer is
3. Clearly state why they will value you
4. Are specific about what you're assuming about your customer, competition, wider economy, etc., that will drive you to success
5. Validate that your customer exists and shares your perception of what value is
6. Validate that all of your assumptions are true

These usually took about 3 months of part-time work for the entrepreneur to complete, and, if they had a feasible start-up, they usually had customers in hand by the end of the process. If it wasn't a feasible start-up, they had the chance to pivot or just walk away, before spending any real money or real time.

I love the idea of Getwear, and I really love the frank discussion of their failure. I'm sad that everything Yaakov writes probably could've been determined in a feasibility analysis.
No the Federal Reserve issues USD, not the US government, most people don't realise this fact and it is the difference between a sovereign nation and whatever the fuck North American countries have become today.

I did not vote you down, but your comment doesn't really add much. It's a common sentiment that could have been posted on any article about Flash.

And it makes even less sense on this particular article, since, if you read between the lines, Adobe is acknowledging that Flash is a tainted brand and that SWF is on its way out.
I agree- however, if you follow what other DAW upgrades cost(and I agree, forget this monthly subscription crap)

Cubase 8 upgrade - 75

Logic is pretty expensive to upgrade for what usually amounts to a free plugin or two and minor functionality increases...

I recently graduated Magna Cum Laude from UC Irvine with a B.S. in Computer Science. I'm primarily interested in building things that will make the end-user smile. Up until now, I've accomplished this by building tools to help gamers succeed.

For instance, Riftwalk.gg provided the League of Legends community with the only live game statistics platform, achieved through reverse engineering the spectator data format: https://web.archive.org/web/20141024103229/http://www.riftwa...

I also created the official API Developer Portal during my internship at Riot Games a year out of high school: https://developer.riotgames.com/

I'm open to opportunities outside of gaming as well.

Two years ago I released a Mac app (https://heyfocus.com/) that couldn't be in the MAS due to sandbox restrictions (tried 3 times—frustrating experience).

I sat on it for an entire year because I was convinced nobody buys stuff outside of the AppStore anymore.

A year ago, the project still had really good traction, so I decided to try to sell it directly as a test (using Paddle.com).

Boy, was I wrong! TONS of people buy outside the MAS, and Focus is doing better than ever. If you're questioning it like I was, give it a shot.

Former stealth moder here.

I really liked your essay and I appreciate that someone is pushing back against the 'ideas are cheap' meme. I think you were really smart to make the first item be that an idea which you cannot execute is a bad idea for a startup.

However, I think that your essay left out one really important thing: what people mean when they say 'idea'. It's helpful to unwrap what we mean when we say 'idea' so that we can distinguish between the two different cases of value: 'it's only an idea' vs. 'an idea that can change the world'. I think that the disconnect between the 'ideas are cheap' crowd and the 'ideas are valuable' crowd is that they don't mean exactly the same thing when they say 'idea'. And knowing the difference not only means that you can speak someone else's language, it also means that you can see how to add value to your ideas.

Whether it is a business idea, product idea, or invention idea, the level of vagueness affects how much value it has. There is a difference between 1) an idea for a product, 2) an idea for the basis of how it works, and 3) a complete set of code or blueprints for making one. 'Execution' is largely what we call going from step 2 to 3, but both step 1 and step 2 get called ideas. Even step 2.5, where something is not fully executed but the details have been worked out, gets called an idea.

I'd love to see more about how adding specificity adds value, but only if it is correct. Taking a great idea (say, the diesel engine) and making a poor implementation of it (building a really crappy diesel engine) doesn't take value away from the earlier steps of the idea (someone else can build a better one). So, ideas start with little value, but get more value as more correct specificity is added.

In Xilinx's case, the toolchain is huge because it isn't just bitstream synthesis; it also includes:

* Simulation and verification tools

* Licensed IP cores for a bunch of common tasks

* Toolchains for at least three different platforms (ARM, Microblaze, PowerPC)

* 32-bit and 64-bit versions of everything

* A JRE

Bottom line is, there's legitimately a ton of stuff in there.
>University is for adults, not toddlers.

This argument is basically "You belong to social group X. You cannot opt out." Then followed by "because to social group X, you have to behave in Y way. Because that's how X people behave."

Depending on the surrounding culture, with that argument you can justify: why men have to wear ties, why young men should be sent to war, why women should wear burkha, etc. Anything conservative goes.

I'm not disagreeing with your actual point. I'm just trying to point out that your argument is bad.
Sure, and the KKK is objectively primarily a right/conservative movement. It still derails a conversation if you lump all conservatives together with the KKK.
It could be that it was also result of the character recognition.

Could you repeat the test and provide the name of the service so others can try to replicate it?
Other studies used completely unscientific methods (starting with VERY small sample size, also, extending the definition to include sexual assault, which could be verbal abuse, or anything really).

Relevant quote:

"The one-in-five estimate, on the other hand, comes from the federally funded Campus Sexual Assault Study (CSA), a 2006 web survey of more than 5,000 women and 1,000 men attending two unnamed, large public universities.

As Yoffe points out, two campuses is an awfully small sample.

Christopher Krebs, a senior researcher at a non-profit research group, RTI International, who led the Campus Sexual Assault Study, acknowledges that. “The one-in-five statistic is not anything we trotted out as a national statistic,” he says. “But it has certainly been used in that way” — most prominently by President Obama.

> "I'm not saying they can't, I'm saying they don't."

They already do. Electron, Web Components, etc...

> "Do you even have evidence that it'll be better than what we have now in other languages if it does take over?"

Compare the performance of vanilla JS vs. asm.js. It is clear from what developers have stated that WebAssembly performance will exceed the performance of asm.js, the threading improvements alone should offer noticeable benefits.

> "Years of experience making them more accessible, more usable, more consistent with the platform they're running on, etc."

So what are we looking at to replicate that? A theme per platform? Some accessibility work? What else?

It should be noted that the web isn't starting from zero with UX either, we've already had 20+ years of refinements to the web user experience.

I don't think of an MVP (minimum viable product) as a prototype, I think of it as the most pared-down application that can still launch. I don't think of this as a shoddy or unreliable app, more a minimalistic one in terms of features, but it does need to work and be stable enough for the initial needs of the business.

If you got a good developer at 100k an hour, that leaves you with 1000 hours to create a minimum viable product, or a little over six months.

I guess it depends on what you're trying to do, how well you want it to scale initially, and so forth. Kind of curious, this community does tend to lean toward fast startups rather than slow big corps, is six months and 100k considered clearly excessive for an MVP?
That I'm not 100% sure of. I know for receiving, you'd just configure OfflineIMAP to deliver each account's messages into a different folder, and just switch between them in Mutt, but I don't know how it would work for distinct from-addresses, contact lists, etc.

Some quick googling[1] makes it look like you indeed do that first thing, and then set up a hook to load a different configuration file when you enter the folder for a different mailbox.

So "display: flex" affects how items within an element are positioned, while e.g. "display: inline-block" affects how an element itself is positioned. It seems to me that this is in conflict. Am I overlooking something? Or are the creators of CSS still not able to figure these kinds of problem out?
