Having done both mechanical engineering & software engineering professionally, I think the assembly line is a lot closer to software operations.

If you take the same code and put it through a compiler over and over, you will get roughly the same result. If you run the same code in production day after day, some days you will get different results because of the interplay between various systems or conditions.

If you take the same design and put it through a computer controlled machine you will likely get the same results unless something breaks. If you take the same design and put it through an assembly line, you will get different results on different days because of the subtle interplay between various variations in processes.

The distinction is critical, because while you generally qualify a single operation in an assembly line much like we would run tests on a piece of software, you need to monitor an assembly line just as we need to monitor our software in production.
Interesting, is there any plans on opening up your calculator/analyzer to an API. I just launched http://imadefood.com a week ago, and there could be some mutual beneficial scenarios here. Let me know!
That in turn got me to wondering how much gang violence is due to a lack of access to the conflict-resolution procedures common in the rest of society.

This scene from Goodfellas has always stuck with me and you have just reiterated its key point:

What was Paulie all about? "A police department for wiseguys."

It resonates with a lot of what goes on in The Wire, especially with a character like Prop Joe.
I just don’t understand why there aren’t more languages using automatic reference counting as featured in modern Objective-C and Swift. ARC has very low overhead and predictable performance profile (no GC waking up to choke your app for hundreds of ms). I think it makes almost no sense to consider going back to manual memory management because of performance, not even in games. Unless you are writing for some quite limited embedded hardware.
How a Cray-2 supercomputer was used to decode a movie ham radio transmission
Seeing lots of comments about cost of Heroku. An easy way to get that down is to not use Ruby.
Exactly my point. Intel was "forced" to fix a bug in software by changing its hardware. The A20 gate was not to prevent programs from accessing "HMA" it was to fix programs, which generated addresses above 0xfffff and expected it to wrap around.
It can get worse. Azure websites charges $39/month per cert for full IP-based SSL
Plus the decline of NYC.

Manhattan is increasingly a financial services company town, and many parts of that industry are drifting to Jersey.
The term for this is "self-medication".
I feel you. I'm a non-24 so regular office hours are often problematic for me. When I was self-employed, I'd just work whenever I would feel like, be it regular hours or weekends, day or night. I'd accomplish a lot more because I would simply be in the right mood for work at that time.

I tried a 9-5 "flexible" job (remote foss work) for a year or so and was often extremely unproductive, sometimes for several weeks. It just clashes with the way I operate.

For most of the past year I've been trying to follow my github streak to maintain the idea of doing a little work every day, no matter how small (https://github.com/jleclanche/). It's been an incredibly productive year and I've never felt unproductive like I did before. I haven't felt the need for holidays because my "work days" are not tiresome. I still take holidays sometimes, as long as I can get one small piece of work done during the day, even if it only takes 15 minutes.

I kinda miss freelancing, although closed-source work makes me itch nowadays.
From a standing start, an electric often needs to limit the power to the motors else they start snapping parts. That certainly happened in the tesla from day one. Then once the wheels are turning, launch control manages the traction control settings to maintain maximum acceleration, perhaps allowing for more/less slip than would be otherwise. It isn't as simple as just powering the motors.
One other factor, I think ltree is based around strung keys, while the approach we took used integers representing priority ordering
. So an integer array worked quite nicely.

Ltree seems like it would be good for representing a named categorical hierarchy.

I'd love to see how ltree performs though.
Which features, exactly?

The only one I'm aware of is marking the app as a VoIP app, which means the system will keep it alive and let it occasionally check in with the mothership. But Apple heavily scrutinized apps marked as such to make sure they actually need it. And even then, I don't think they run until the user starts them at least once.

Even if the app could automatically run on download, it couldn't access any interesting information without being activated by the user and prompting to allow access to location, contacts, photos, etc.
Yes, but those sort of rates extend to the Union Square and Ferry Building areas and I don't observe, say, Fisherman's Wharf necessarily being a lot cheaper. (And there's very little in the Mission and Dogpatch areas when I've gone to events at the campus down that way.) During a big conference even the hotels down by the airport can be over $300/night.

(I'm sure there are cheaper options especially once you get well away from the tourist, downtown, and convention center areas. Though I imagine that's true of Manhattan as well. But SF has gotten quite expensive in general.)
Because it's not about winning. It's about demonstrating that you will defend yourself and that you're not an easy victim. That's what an honour culture is. A less lethal way of doing that means the risk of being killed is much less, with the same beneficial outcome.
This is my attempt at simplifying wikis. It currently serves as our startup's knowledge-base repository.

Urbit has no shortage of true believers who will insist that, in practice, Hoon -- and Urbit's alarmingly weird verbiage in general -- is very easy and pleasant to use and not at all strange, despite it being as penetrable to hackers outside the project as, say, the rantings of a Sea Org member. In fact I think a major portion of the purpose of the project is to produce a vanguard of true believers who buy into the whole vision thing, and then go spread try-it-you'll-like-it propaganda on sites like this to recruit yet more true believers, etc.

As evidence I submit that a gentleman put up a significant bounty to implement a simple game in Urbit[0]. There were no takers.

When you consider chunks of Urbit's completely reinvented network space are for sale for real cash money, it gives you a glimpse as to the rest of the project's purpose.

Urbit is the brainchild of a blogger who is prone to lead his readers on lengthy circumlocutions only to tie them up into conclusions about political systems -- if indeed they be conclusions at all -- which are not only old ideas but some of them really bad ideas which humans have tried before and proven to be really bad. While the ideas underpinning Urbit may not align with Moldbug's politics -- Urbit's design and rationale follows his methodology. The funny weird names not only for symbols but for common OS concepts like files, network endpoints, and closures, are a part of an elaborate cup-and-ball game intended to convince the unwary of the intelligence of Urbit's creators and the innovativeness of the system itself, despite evidence that it basically consists of idiosyncratic implementations of well-known computer science concepts, with possibly ulterior motives.

I think it depends on how your data is represented. If your data only exists in a single hierarchy, and you don't need to index other values for lookup, a JSON object might work fine.
>Once someone fills gap with a meta-privte-ride service that just locates the closest and cheapest provider

Yup. If you want to find me legal cover, I've got a guy who's good at reverse engineering shit.

Let's do this thing.
"The solution might be found in a form of constraint: more standardization of the time for work and the time for life."
And stuff gets even more crowded because everyone is free at the same time, yay.
This article seems to overlook the obvious. Self driving cars are still cars. Someone has to make them. Car makers are not going out of business in that scenario.
Sounds like a solvable problem, in theory anyway. Some sort of super-smart fuzzy logic scheduling app where you can plan all the things you want to do, and everyone who you might need to collaborate/meet with at work, all your friends you might want to meet up with at the pub or go on a hike with, your family, and everyone else relevant is on the same app.

(ok in the perfect world it wouldn't be a proprietary app, but a standardized protocol so whatever app you happen to use negotiates with everyone else's apps)

Your work hours would change from day to day and week to week, and all things might shift around (with the exception of things that can't, obviously) but that's ok.

The longer ahead you plan things, the better, since you'd give it more flexibility, and the more flexible you are, the more you earn points you get to spend when you really need them.

It would know things like traffic patterns and when things are crowded, so instead of just arranging leisure time on the same two days of the week, it would mix them up.

And of course it should also take into account the weather. I'd like as much of my actual free time to coincide with sunshine.

From the expense report, it says you have a wildcard SSL (and it seems to be in use in the subdomain for the signup page for example) yet your main root site seems to be unavailable via SSL?

Is there any reason for this or just an oversight?
I appreciate your breakdown. Helps those of us evaluating various web services get an idea what people are spending and what capabilities we might have overlooked. Neat stuff.
Papertrail is pretty great. I've used them for years without a hiccup.
I'm probably 80% sharp (the other 20% being prolongated mental efforts that I'll assume I wouldn't bear, and that I cannot test in social situations anyway). Mentally, not motor skills (I wouldn't take the wheel for instance). And far more sharper than without drinking since my mind would be busy with self conscious / anxious thoughts. It just silence a worried part of the mind so the other can breath.
Power limits apply to all driving, and that's why I said "proper" rather than "maximum." For slip, there's a separate "slip start" setting that gives better acceleration. There really isn't much else for launch control to do that you don't get already.
The Zelos used to be the Palomar, which at least used to be a pretty good deal for that area though I don't think I've personally stayed there. $115 is a very good price for a business hotel in the Union Square area. I imagine immediately after New Years may be relatively light on business travelers.
"we really cannot have 7 billion people drive cars" ... I think we will have to... for a while.

Education is the best way of reducing population. Cars (or any type of personal transport) is crucial, moving the effort from humans to machines, leaving the human with more time and options. This leads to education and caring about the environment, politics etc.

So for a while we'll have to have 7 billion people using cars (or at least that's what the goal should be) then this will drop to 6 billion, then 5 then 4 etc.

We can power cars using solar. Terrestrial or orbital.

This is interesting as I'm doing a lot of these things in my spare time on my own sites, eg running postgres servers and backing them up in an automated way, as well as developing them and holding down a full time job.

As others have said, Heroku seems like a very expensive way to lock yourself in to one provider.
Misunderstanding ? I meant at social events (birthdays, xmas), not on a day to day basis.
There is no magic cure, I still struggle with it. But it's easier than before, I found medication helps but ONLY if you have it reviewed regularly. Seeing someone to discuss issues with is very helpful. I see a guy who isn't a medical professional but is older and has the condition himself - that's incredibly helpful :-)

Probably less helpful to others is my supportive wife. I probably drive her to distraction at times, which feels awful as I don't mean to. But she forgives me and ensures I don't forget to take my medicine, which is unbelievably important. That's obviously not helpful if you aren't in a significant relationship though.

Wish I had more words of wisdom. I'm still working it all out myself to be honest. I think it's a lifetime struggle, but worthwhile fighting.
It's nice that google are using snake case for library filenames and facebook are using camelcase. :)

Example:

#include <proxygen/httpserver/HTTPServer.h>

#include <grpc++/server_context.h>
I agree that a more fitting line would have been, "I show how to build a modern C++ high-performance, asynchronous echo server using Facebook's Wangle (which comes out to be only 48 lines of code).

However the TITLE OF THE ARTICLE is "Writing modern C++ servers using Wangle." Furthermore, the author states that he's using that framework almost immediately after the statement you quoted, so I really see nothing to complain about. It would be more of an issue if the author led with a huge introductory paragraph or click-baity title that failed to mention the library she or he is using.

Knowing how many lines it took for the author to implement the server in the Wangle framework is very relevant to the reader.
Carmakers always fret. SUVs, the decline of suburbs, gas prices, hybrids, in-dash entertainment ... there is always something just around the corner that is to revolutionize everything. That's business.

The degree could potentially open up new areas of work for you.

Have patience and finish the degree. A degree isn't required but it will generally open more doors, especially for your first job (i.e. when you have no, or little, actual experience) and it sounds like you're already about halfway done (i.e. it's worth the extra year and a half).

That blocking overlay drives absolutely insane when I stumble upon an image through Google, and it lands there. It's infuriating. I can't see how that encourages ANYONE to register.
In fairness, it seems this is true for Apple (broken review process) and Google (malware infestation).

Oddly, I haven't heard one horror story about the Windows Phone app store.

I don't think I can offer much of an API. As I mentioned in another comment, I gave up on trying to parse a free-text recipe. I avoid a lot of headache by directing users to enter ingredients from the database list only.

Yes, exactly. Work is detrimental to mental health, and not-work leads to shared mental health improving activities like socializing with family.
I always wonder what is the future of analytics? I mean there are tons of tools and technologies out there. I feel like competition is very intense for getting share of the market. Everyone, even small scale companies, wants to collect and analyze all data they can.

At my job I use Hadoop, hive and pig for etl and Tableau, looker for visualization. I still feel a very urge that I should learn spark, dremel, ELK stack and more.
What about machine learning? That's whole separate domain from BI. Now-a-days almost all companies are getting foot in door as far as ML goes.

I am concerned if this would leave us with more data and less action.

What can or shall one do in order to take action and bring dollar in house ? I mean you can see revenue declining or project it, but if whole sector (eg advertising ) is crunching on spend what is point of spending thousands on analytics software?
The engineers probably realized that cutting and bending the body panels to make them fit, weakened the structure and invited corrosion. That's why they spent days trying to figure out how to correct it.

The only potential problem is that Cloudflare doesn't check the validity of the herokuapp.com cert, so in theory someone could MITM the connection. In practice, I'm not sure how you'd even get Cloudflare to connect to the rogue proxy, short of taking control of the DNS of *.herokuapp.com.

Why does being a neurological condition preclude them from being a mental illness?

I suffer from suicidal depression. Do you believe that's a mental illness? Before treatment, when I woke up in the morning, I didn't say "My serotonin paths don't feel right." I would think "Should today be the day I'll kill myself?" I am very fortunate that the cause of my mental illness is easily treated; the SSRI that I take started working almost immediately. The serotonin paths in my brain appear to be defective. That's neurological, right?

This is perhaps the key bit of silliness:

"And this is where we run into the first bit of craziness. Amazon decided that they should model the Alexa app store after the iPhone app store. So there is a certification process to get your app into the store. But think about the difference: you are not uploading a binary file to the Alexa app store, you are simply registering an URL. So Amazon has no real control over your software. You could get an app approved, and then you could swap out the app for any other app, and the Certification team at Amazon would never know. They don’t control your code. Your code is not in their store, so they have no control over what you do. And yet they modeled this process after the iPhone store, where Apple does have control over your app."

But that doesn't get at how crazily broken the certification system. You have to read the quotes from the other developers to understand that.
I think that this also happens in every place where mission critical software is developed.

But here is our dirty little secret - none of the software 99% of us write is mission critical. And probably 75% of it is never used.
Yes, that is a better analogy.
