Strange that Lockheed offered the cabin in blue/grey/olive colour variants and the presumably civilian customers bought blue or grey but not olive.

Was the colour option for the cabin something offered on all Lockheed aircraft at the time to their military customers, therefore a default consideration when offering the L-1011?
This is awesome!!! Thank you!
You're right, it's a weak/bad point.

What I wanted to convey was that with the flexibility in layout/design that HTML/CSS brings, along with the relative simplicity of the FFOS code base, I think it would be easier for someone writing custom UI to do it on FFOS (like a custom fridge UI) than it would be on Android.

What I'm assuming is that whoever is writing something like a fridge UI might have a tendency to go outside what android allows you to do is going to want to go outside what Android lets you do in a view. But I dunno, a case could be made that they're just equivalent but different troubles.

There's also the case of qualifying for gapps and what not, there are less strings attached to FFOS.
It's not sneaky if it's the prevailing norm.

If you fix your car by slapping together a bunch of junk then yes you most certainly have just "hacked it together". I don't see how you can call this abuse, crudely modifying and creating things is the original and primary use of the term. If anything it's the "high quality, open source programming in pursuit of interesting problems" crowd that's butchering it. "It's just something I hacked together" has never meant "I carefully crafted the shit out of it" except for maybe in a dishonest humblebrag sort of way.

That's a good idea. Motorcyclists are taught to rapidly close and open the brake, in order to flash the rear brake light for extra visibility when stopping.

I don't buy into this kind of cynicism. And it's silly. I enjoy our time spent together, and consider paying for a second meal for the privilege of doing so a bargain. She is certainly the most expensive girl I've ever dated, but she's actually a really cheap date. When we go out, I spend more money on myself than on her.

She used to ask for me to pay for her nails and massages and stuff, I would do it once, then not do it anymore. If I were making more money, I could budget it in, but as it is I just don't have it. I encourage her to get her other guy friends to pay for that stuff for her.

And on the 'using' issue: If I had the kind of money these guys have, and the willingness to use it on dating, I'd regularize it. I'd have accounts at all her beauty spots and have them just send me the bill every month. I would of course talk to her to keep it from getting excessive, (more likely I'd negotiate with the business for better rates) but I would not begrudge a lady for taking advantage of my generosity. That's what it's there for.

But the importance of a job isn't what determines the salary of a worker, it mostly a function of supply/demand. A job may be absolutely critical to running a business, but if there's an oversupply of suitable applicants for the position, that is going to naturally drive down the compensation since there will be more applicants available willing to take a lower salary.
Heroku is without a doubt one of the more expensive options out there. SSL being billed per month? Yikes. SSL really should be standard.

Unless you're paying less for the same line items, it's not really useful to say that you're running leaner. You might simply be using fewer tools.
1. Mike's explanation is totally off the mark. Tesla's systems are simple helpers that work in specific circumstances only, and still require the driver to be responsible/react. The technology has been around for quite some time now. Google is building a complete self-driving car that basically replaces the driver altogether. This is much harder and you need to get it 100% right before shipping it, as your system will (most likely) be responsible for any accidents it causes. The "expert" seems to confuse robotic wayfinding with the challenges that exist for self-driving cars. There is a (very small) overlap, but the hard problems are not in this overlap.

2. The article linked is merely rephrasing the answer explained in a Forbes article instead of actually quoting the source. A simple link to the Quora answer would have sufficed.
I wonder if anyone would release a home router based on an Annapurna chip. Looks like pretty ideal specs the last time I looked.
If you use the standard debhelper toolchain instead, you get lots of stuff for free.

Want to ship a systemd service file? include "--with systemd" in the dh invocation in debian/rules (and add dh-systemd as a build dependency), and you can drop your system files in debian/yourpackage.service. The helper will do all the work for you like copying the service file to the right location, doing the "daemon-reload" to make sure it is read after it's changed, reload it after package installation, stop if when the package is uninstalled, and so on.

Want to create an empty directory? add it to debian/dirs. Want to install additional files? add them to debian/install.

Want to create a debian package from an existing perl module? "dh-make-perl --cpan The::Package".

And the nice thing is that all of these mechanisms are composable, and it is easy to override steps you want to customize.

At first, I found the standard debhelper toolchain to be complex too, but it actually makes simple things easy, and hard things possible.

Shameless plug: Yesterday I've blogged about debian packaging a simplistic Perl web application: http://perlgeek.de/blog-en/automating-deployments/2016-005-e... (not much Perl specific in there).
I love to read stuff like this, "with a bit of effort I was able to build the whole back-end for my startup using C++", then I start to think: what would it take for me to migrate off Golang to C++?

I love to develop in Mac and deploy in Linux/Docker, so whatever stack I pick has to be compatible with both OS's, with this in mind I made a list of libraries I'd need to move my API to C++:

* Web Server library

* Web Framework-ish library

* JSON library for REST interface

* Database client library for my database

* Integration testing

After reading these useful blog posts I guess I'll pick:

* Web Server => Facebook's Proxygen

* Web Framework-ish library => Facebook's Wangle, but it doesn't seem to work in Mac, that's already a problem, I don't like having to have two dev environments.

* JSON library => looks like Facebook's Folly seems to have something for it, let's hope it uses modern c++ constructs and not some obscure templating magic to make it faster than other implementations.

* Database client library for RethinkDB: RethinkDB has no official driver and the only community driver public repository has only 22 starts and no CI setup on Github, I'm reluctant to trust this code, this is already a deal breaker to me.

* Integration testing => Wangle's documentation is scarce, there wiki is empty and the repo doesn't have a single code sample to take a look at. I can't go to production without testing, another deal breaker.

Yes, I agree, I don't have to pick RethinkDB. MySQL and PostgreSQL c++ drivers are very mature to use in production apps.

Of course they are, but:

* Do these drivers use modern C++ constructs?

* Would these drivers block proxygen/wangle IO loop(in case they have one?)

* Would I have to use callbacks to make achieve full IO speed? I hate callbacks, there is a reason I abandoned Node.js a long ago.

* How do I put all these dependencies together?

As with Golang, as much as I hate it's lack of generics and proper inheritance:

* Web server: Standard library `net/http`

* Web framework-ish: I don't really need a framework/pipeline for it, there are some neat web routers out there that just help me do the job.

* JSON library: Standard library `encoding/json`

* Database client library: gorethink and almost all the Golang database clients out there have significant adoption with over 700 stars on Github.

* Integration testing: Standard library `net/http/httptest`

Unlike D, C++ and Rust; the Golang ecosystem is unified, I know I'm able to pick a client library and it'd work with whatever stack I have in place because there's only one scheduler and therefore only one way to do IO, plus it's non-blocking without callbacks. I'm not a fan of vendoring dependencies, but it simply works.

In conclusion, I love C++ and even with all the significant progress made in C++11 and C++14, I'm still stucked with Go because it just works.
I think the future of advertising is where the experience is the ad - kind of like showrooms are. You actually drive the car, or sit on the couch.

Twitter kind of started this by making their ads just another tweet, but even then it's still very generalizable and the experience you get is not with the product but with a depiction of it.

So that's what we are doing with our company by virtualizing the showroom experience in Augmented Reality.
Isn't that a very common sight in Japan? The cost of land in metropolitan areas easily overshadows a bunch of hydraulics and elevators produced at scale.
"... a number of serious mental illnesses,
such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s."

Neither of those are mental illnesses, they are neurological conditions. Maybe the rest of the article is 100% accurate, but when people make elementary errors like that it's hard to take them seriously. Everything else might be right, might be reliable, but errors like this make it clear that I just can't trust it. What value something I can't trust?

I'd love to know how to fix this problem. So much of what we read on the interwebs is mis-guided, mis-informed, or just wrong, and yet is written well and sounds plausible. You can't trust anything. So suddenly we need to check everything we read, and that's a huge, huge waste of time.

We need sources that are genuinely authoritative so we can believe and trust what they say, and save time.

How would you solve this?

Everything eweitz mentions is spot on. I'll just note what my sister said not two moments ago when reading some of these comments. "San Francisco is a baby town, a joke, compared to what's going on in Manhattan." And I kinda have to agree. San Francisco's current issues are entirely of their own making. I have no sympathy. I grew up in Queens, lived in Manhattan for 16 years and moved to Dallas a year ago (cause someone paid me.) I've been to SF more times than I can count over the last 10 years for computer related work and conference, etc. You couldn't pay me to live there.

No other place in the country has the kind of network effect that NYC does. It is entirely due to density and density is a direct result of NYC's subway system. As much as New Yorkers love to complain about the subway, and believe me it's a sport out here, we would not be able to accommodate the masses we accommodate without it. Transportation and, of course, vertical space is the way we do it. I really don't know why this is such a mystery to so many not from here. It's kind of glaringly obvious to the most casual of observers.

San Franciscans need to stop navel gazing and look up to the sky. Go up, my friends, go up.
This seems ok given that the startup has generated approximately $60,000 in stripe revenue.

I would try to reduce costs in those Heroku workers... $175/month seems steep.
Key quotes:

"Super complex SOC platforms like Apple’s Ax family or the IBM Cell very likely exceeded $1B in total development costs and involved thousands of engineers in aggregate."

"Meanwhile relatively simple SOCs like the Epiphany family of chips were designed for less than $3M over the span of 3 years.[1,2]"

And Adapteva did such a good job being cheaper than average they wrote a [different] blog post about how they went about it. So, the low end was $3 million over 3 years while users wanting to ditch proprietary are asking for price/performance/watts closer to the above quote that cost $1 billion. Hence, my prediction it will take millions to tens of millions to make something acceptable. Also, me pushing Cavium's model of RISC multicore + HW accelerators for common things. I think it will help by taking load (& optimization) off the main CPU's.

Now, people doing analog stuff have it a lot easier given even 350nm is often good for that. That stuff can get really cheap:

It's an incredibly common urban legend even in the city itself - fortunately with no basis in reality.

As an example the Metropolitan Life North Building right next to Madison Square Park was originally designed in the 20s to beat the Empire State for height (but sadly, the Depression happened), and that plot of land is firmly on the "soft" ground "unsuitable" for tall skyscrapers.

Not only do we not need the bedrock now, it appears we never needed it - and the engineers of the early 20th century knew this as well as we do.
A short fable of software engineering vs. regular engineering
One unintended side effect of the autoland system was it was too good - the airplanes would hit the runway in exactly the same spot each landing. The result was the runway would disintegrate at that point. The engineers had to go back and put a "fuzz factor" in.

Well, maybe he thinks ethical systems like utilitarianism or deontology answer whether something is ethical or not.

That said, I struggle to think of any ethical system that says lying to your users and tricking them into giving away personal information is 'moral'. The likes of Aristotle or Kant would probably consider this app and its design morally questionable.
I don't see how 'continue' would be confusing, it would stop the current calculation and start the next one, same as with normal loops.

The behaviour of 'break' might be confusing but then that's always the case in nested loops, no matter how you notate them.
You should apply equal skepticism to everything you see in the news. These days, news outlets are all about pushing a particular narrative, not about impartially reporting the facts.
Any classical logic is possible, because C++ is a Turing-complete language.

That said, of course, how much you can actually do and how fast you can do it depends a lot on the hardware you have available. Not every computer can run fast, high-quality graphics, no matter what language you coded in.

THAT said, C++ is considered a relatively high-performance language and is often used for things like advanced game graphics.

I would also be curious on the rational of why you stopped using those services.
I actually want all my internet Appliance to run on OpenBSD. But I guess due to drivers problem I may never see that happen.
Cloud services can work out super expensive for a startup. To get going often all you need is one server that runs both the database and web server, which you can rent cheaply from any number of hosting companies out there. Sure you have to manage it yourself and it won't scale right off the bat, but sometimes that's fine. This is how we ran Scirra for a long time. Eventually you need to scale up, but that's a nice problem to have!
Heroku is enornmously featuresome and convenient.

Simply not having to think about how to stage, locate and run an app saves a lot of visible and hidden engineering time.

Source: I work for a company which donates engineering time to what is, in some respects, a Heroku competitor (Cloud Foundry).
I was hoping someone jumped in for context. The other two commenters provide that. Now, in that context, let's just say that the ASIC ecosystem with companies sitting on hundreds of millions to billions in I.P. aren't about to (a) integrate a GPL component or (b) let their stuff be used in a GPL component if there's even the slightest chance it causes legal risk.

That's all the good ones. The only exception I know (and promote) was Aeroflex Gaisler putting an ASIC-proven CPU and peripheral IP in a GPL release. That people did nothing with. (sighs) Even he's not doing GPL for new stuff IIRC. The rest continue licensing on a per-producer basis... revenue which GPL would negate.

So, it's just incentives. The positive incentive is licensing, which they're doing. The negative incentives are anything risking their I.P., which GPL does. It's a double whammy against GPL'd or even free HW from existing ecosystem.

You can usually get a noticeable speedup using unity builds, even when using something like Incredibuild. That suggests that more source files is not the answer. (I am not going to speculate as to why things are this way; it simply appears to be the case.) I'm not sure it makes a great deal of sense to separate compilation time from link time anyway (and you should also consider device reboot or program startup time as well). It all adds up to the same thing: shameful turnaround times.

This has been a problem on every C++ project I've worked on over the past 15 years, and it only seems to be getting worse. And scaled up by increasing team size, that makes it even more of a serious problem.

I hope your parting shot was intended to be that we shouldn't have to worry about this today, i.e., that we should be able to expect more from our tools, and that the current tools are shit. Because we absolutely should worry about it! This is people's time we're talking about. That isn't any less valuable than it used to be.

I can stream the videos, but not download to watch offline- I should have been more clear.
"A half-life often describes the decay of discrete entities, such as radioactive atoms. In that case, it does not work to use the definition "half-life is the time required for exactly half of the entities to decay". For example, if there is just one radioactive atom with a half-life of 1 second, there will not be "half of an atom" left after 1 second. There will be either zero atoms left or one atom left, depending on whether or not the atom happens to decay.

Instead, the half-life is defined in terms of probability. It is the time when the expected value of the number of entities that have decayed is equal to half the original number. For example, one can start with a single radioactive atom, wait its half-life, and measure whether or not it decays in that period of time. Perhaps it will and perhaps it will not. But if this experiment is repeated again and again, it will be seen that - on average - it decays within the half-life 50% of the time."

// Overview, potential spolier

//

It's about a man who romanticises the 1920's and then gets to experience them but discovers people in the 1920's are nostalgic for the late 1800's, and that when we romanticise the past we neglect to think about all the things we have that we would lose (e.g. as mentioned in the movie, novocaine).
This doesn't go far enough. The institution of dueling should be brought back as a legally valid contractual arrangement. It may be morbid, but if two people really deem the situation to be so critical, and provided that they duel in an isolated location, it could be doable.

Not that it should necessarily be encouraged. But to prohibit it entirely seems counterproductive, like the hilariously unenforceable prohibitions against suicide (unless you survive, making you wish you had succeeded once facing the legal consequences).
