I guess success of such approach depends on how well C++ logic can be wrapped in C. It's not always straightforward or even possible.
Sure - it needs to be somewhat difficult to turn on, and turning it on needs to very clearly include an "I accept all responsibility for this" declaration.

Most of "us" already deal with these things though - there's no "forgot password" for my ssh keys or my ssl keys or my topt seeds - there's no "forgot password: for my 1Password and Keypass safes. We occasionally get to laugh at out less diligent colleagues and peers who belatedly reveal the time they "lost" the ssl private key or the production webserver ssh key, but it's not like we see critical infrastructure falling apart regularly because of forgotten-but-unretrievable passphrases.

But I suspect you're right, there'd probably be a whole lot of "Hold my beer and watch me turn on full personal responsibility here! Oh, hang on - shit. Oooops..." if Ama-Face-Goo-Yah-stagram allowed this...
They probably would have, if the list went ten to fifteen years further back. The Advanced Technology Group was closed down in 1997 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Advanced_Technology_Gr...).

One could argue that neglecting fundamental research will be their downfall in the long term, and that may be true, but looking at what happened to Apple since 1997, one could also argue that focusing on the shorter term gave them enough resources to buy technology, if needed. So, instead of having to guess what technologies will become important, they can wait and see and then buy them (of course that has its risks, too; they may have to place too many less risky bets to ensure that they have the winning bet, or someone might not want to sell a truly disruptive invention)

It's been that way ever since film was a viable medium.
I think that's a pretty apt description of any sandbox game. Some people find the genre really fun and interesting, but it's really a matter of preference.
Even worse is the message towards the end of Dark Knight, where Robin throws his badge in the water, claiming that the system and law enforcement don't work, and the only option is their secretive extra-legal vigilantism. Sounds like an excuse for all the extralegal methods various agencies have been using in the supposed fight against terrorism.
Who got it from elsewhere. ;-) The sequential part of Erlang is basically a simple functional language with nothing really unique, except maybe for binaries. It is the concurrency and error handling where the really good bits are.
Rust can call directly into a C++ library as long as it uses the C ABI: there aren't bindings to (a compiler-specific implementation of) the C++ type system. Go is just the same. This isn't really a language restriction, more a result of how rich the C type system is and how compiler-specific it is. The only languages that have direct C++ interop are those that directly use a C++ compiler (like Objective-C++).

It appears that GoQt has this giant pile of wrappers around C++ types, casting pointers back and forth:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/visualfc/goqt/master/qtdrv...

I would have expected this to require an `extern "C"` declaration. I'm sort of surprised it doesn't, but maybe the common C++ ABIs match the C ones if only C types are passed to and from the function?

It's interesting contrasting American/UK films against other western films.

I'm a big fan of the Hamilton movies, which are basically Swedish James Bond movies. In them, the PLO are actually the good guys, and the Americans are the bad guys. It's an interesting contrast.
It's easy enough to turn off that part of your brain to watch what is otherwise an entertaining show.
>There is a practically unlimited amount of programming work to be done and not enough programmers to do it all.

I certainly find that statement surprising, considering that most of the programming work already done is economically useless. Unicorn-balloon inflation is not a real job.

> Does this mean I can stand in front of a crowd and babble complete gibberish, and providing that my tone of voice and body language are good I'll still get 93% of my point across?

Presuming a military or political speech, that sounds about right. Rousing speeches are still rousing even if you don't speak the language they're written in!

The point of a lot of presentations is effectively to dump a bunch of words that move the audience's emotional state closer to the presenter's emotional state. In "emotional rhetoric", the body language and tone is primary; the words themselves are secondary, much like slides—they exist mostly to serve as a substrate for social-alliance signalling. (Imagine interactions between candidates during a presidential debate.)

The words in the speech can also aid the one-in-ten audience members who are too stubborn and analytical to be swayed by anything other than the facts. Even then, though, most emotional-rhetoric speeches usually have an accompanying leaflet/programme/manifesto/whitepaper specifically for these people. A speech is almost never the proper place for the data to convince people of the soundness of the plan; instead, a speech's proper role is in making clear what emotional affect the speaker holds toward the ideas they're presenting. Which is, in a political environment, usually the most important thing to know about an idea: it's the metadata that lets you know whether the idea is really going to be tried or not, caught up in bureaucracy or not, etc.
It's an open secret that professors don't teach a huge portion of these programs. Usually it's grad students who get paid even less than adjuncts (sometimes they actually pay for the privilege.

Though I do wonder if schools are lying to the adjuncts. Maybe suggesting this could help them get hired full tenture track. If so, that is abusive.

Steam is DRM. Can't play without having authenticated. It infects everything or damn near everything these days. Steam is trying very hard to get a monopoly. They want to lock out competition. They want to control everything you may do with the game you bought (rented might be a better verb).

Because of all that what more reason is needed to not buy a particular game?

My (poorly made) point was that they'd just keep spending and then spend more. If you could make them stop hiring pointless admin and pay adjuncts more, I'd agree.
...actually when you think about it - if the market forces argument was all there was to it administrators would be getting paid very little to, there's an abundance of administrators
This is a very good point, I totally agree!

Although for some questions, e.g. "Can you escape poverty in the US today?" (which could be specified as moving from 1st -> 3rd quartile) this data works.

But, for other types of questions, e.g. "Is extreme wealth mostly hereditary?" you'd need a non-linear breakdown of classes.

Meta-offtopic: What a nice title in this day and age of SEO-optimized clickbait headlines (e.g. You'll Never Believe The Hack Sega Saturn Used to Make a Spotlight in the Mega Man Games!)...admittedly, I clicked because I don't know the author (or his blog) and had no idea what "Transparency" meant...I figured it about Sega obfuscating specs/sales figures, and that this was going to be another retrospective on how Sega lost the console war. I was wrong but didn't feel misled...the article is indeed about transparency...I just didn't think how an old console achieved transparency effects would normally be a topic for a blog post today (unless it's for a very very old system, like the NES, in which it is fascinating to learn how effects were achieved back then)...It's great to read indepth inspection of such "little" effects, the workings of which often illustrate fundamental concepts about computing.

Also OT: I had never heard of Wintersmith, which the author uses for his blog, but it looks like a pretty capable Jekyll-like site generator in node: http://wintersmith.io

Management is a role with some very domain specific skills, just like many other white collar jobs. If you've studied and trained to do a particular job and then get moved to something else, of course that's going to be difficult. It seems a bit odd that you ascribe that emotion to some personality flaw.

We'll Probably Never Free Mickey, but That's Beside the Point
Debasement here refers to the educational experience. That doesn't happen at all institutions but it certainly appears common. Debasement at for profit institutions is obvious to anyone paying attention. Those schools are more frequently than not diploma mills using student aid to extract $$ from the federal gov't. That's evidenced by aggressive marketing, FTC actions, weak admissions policies, low rates of graduation and frequently poor job placement prospects.

Debasement at the non-profits and state institutions is running them to the benefit of the administrators, buildings, athletic departments, and even endowments (i.e. alumni development) at the expense of the educational experience. None of that is germane to education. Profit or non-profit doesn't matter.

Debasement at state institutions is also legislatures and governors slashing budgets so they can cut taxes to the detriment of the entire institution and students. The administrators and athletic depts can and do lobby effectively but generally faculty and students have little voice in state gov't.

All of these tend to make the experience of students and faculty members worse than it might be otherwise. So yes, the oversupply of prospective faculty plays a role but it's only one of the drivers. There are close analogs in the exploitation of post doc researchers and let's face it student athletes.
Heh. In the spirit of it being my turn to ' … belatedly reveal the time … " I mentioned upthread…

One time I had my carefully encrypted secrets thoughtfully spread across my laptop drive, my iPod as backup #1, and an external hard drive as backup #2. All of which I had in my backpack one night - which I proceeded to leave at a restaurant where I'd been sitting outside on the sidewalk tables, and I didn't notice until _way_ after they'd closed for the night. (I used up a _great_ deal of luck that night - we went to that restaurant enough to be "regulars", and the waitstaff found it and knew it was one of ours, and it was waiting for me when they opened the next day...)
Can someone explain why the random_split (i.e. first) rule tends towards inequality? It seems that any time a rich&poor person meet, the expected outcome is that the poor person receives money -- E(Uniform(0, X+Y)) = (X+Y)/2 > min(X,Y). So how does that lead to a rich-get-richer effect?
Read up on perfect use vs typical use. Quoting numbers from perfect use is very misleading.

Precision equipment manufacturing is hard. It's easy to get round balls, but to get them consistently within a certain tolerance in yields that would beat just importing them is even harder.

I can't find the article now, but I remember reading about the manufacture of a certain kind of high quality lenses and at the time, the place with the highest quality manufacturing capacity was a couple tiny factories in Japan. At some point the technology to make lenses at that quality and yield had been R&D'd in Japan and there it sits.

Nobody feels like dumping a few hundred million (or billion) into matching that capability when they can just order them from these places at $20 a pop in volume.

"But", people say, "China makes all kinds of high-tech goods!". Sorta, is the answer. China does final assembly on tons of things, but many of the components, ultra-precision parts, are made elsewhere: CPUs, DSPs, Memory, Displays etc. China is getting there as market forces allow, but there often isn't a good reason to try to achieve parity or leapfrog suppliers who you already have good relationships with and who sell you product at reasonable prices.

In contrast, what would you propose? Economics isn't always a zero-sum game, but there is usually one who gains more than the other.
Yes, and just as my claim would predict of Hollywood:

- Actors (in the aggregate) get a bigger fraction of the returns than the typical worker in other industries.

- The overwhelming number of people who make some money from acting have to supplement it with something else since they can only get a few days per year.

- Full time acting is not a viable career option for most people who would like to do it and are qualified.

- Unionization did nothing for the above dynamic, though it did have other benefits, like improving pay somewhat for those who find part-time work at all.

IOW, yes, it has benefits, no it will not return us to the state where getting a PhD becomes a viable full-time career path.
Amazon hasn't given permission. I suspect they'd be quite unhappy. Having said that, I personally think they ought to expect it, and be responsible for whatever failings it discovers.

No one is lying. Parent's 18% is the figure for male condom use in reality, vs your 2% for consistent and correct use.

The point is that if you have an entire population of people who say that their primary method of contraception is male condom, you should expect an unplanned pregnancy rate closer to ~18% per year than 2% per year.
When the holocracy was first introduced early last year and it resulted in more employees than predicted immediately leaving, Hsieh apologists said "It's ok, Zappos will be stronger for it." But over the course of the year, people keep leaving, and people keep making excuses.

I think we have enough proof that the flat management structure doesn't work as well as a traditional hierarchy for a company of Zappos' size and in its industry. But I guess some people won't believe it until the company actually goes down the toilet or backtracks.
A non-falsifiable situation is true of almost everything macro-economic, so you're sunk from the beginning. Might as well bow out of arguing that any of this is more than simple faith.

> You're assuming here that there aren't and never will be exploits that break out of the hypervisor. This is not the world we live in.

Really? Here's what I wrote in this very thread, just above your message: If for your use case hypervisors are not secure enough, 1 hypervisor per physical machine is too much overhead, and the tooling for bare metal targets is not adequate, then unikernels are not a good solution for your use case.

At this point I believe we are talking past each other, you are not addressing (and apparently not reading) any of my points, so let's agree to disagree.

I wonder though why C++ couldn't come up with a standard for names decoration? It would solve tons of such issues.
I found your perspective quite insightful, so thank you for taking the time to respond.

I believe the author represents a very valid sense of alienation and dismissal many people feel when a code of conduct appears on a project they may have worked on for years.

While I cannot speak for the author, I have had several conversations with people who hold views similar to that of the author in the past week thanks to current events. People are afraid. They see the Contributor Covenant and other codes of conduct and view them as at best a cudgel for exclusion and at worst a power grab by political groups they feel unwelcome with.

I'll be honest, when I first read this article I pretty much pumped my fist in the air, this is like a call to arms against those awful codes of conduct. So I may be so blind to the issues of the people who call for codes of conduct that it is in the 'unknown unknowns' for me. I just don't know about them.
The more pressing question is, why does this keep popping up on the HN front page every couple days for the last week?
Nah. Them having a set of your scanned docs just means that if something like what happened to OPM happens, the attacker now conveniently have scanned copies of your docs.

So yeah, bad idea.
I've always wondered why I never see pairNIC mentioned on the "everybody knows godaddy is garbage but who should I use to register domains?" threads on HN.

I have used them since they opened (2002) and never used anybody else after that, because I have never been dissatisfied. (I don't remember if the box is checked by default, but they definitely offer whois privacy, along with services like custom/dynamic DNS and some other stuff, at no extra charge).

Their site is kinda barebones and old-school, but there are real humans in the rare case you actually need one, and they've never done me wrong.

So for whatever that's worth: another recommendation on HN.

I did this back in 2012, using Tesseract and OpenCV to scan letters from screenshots. I did it in python, though, but it was relatively straightforward. I actually had to create my own "language" to help with the processing, bringing it from the low 90s to ~98% accuracy.

It doesn't diminish OP's work, though, nice job.

The assumption that the economy was a zero-sum game was characteristic of the classical economists who came after Adam Smith. While Smith set himself the task of investigating the creation of wealth, his successors such as Ricardo, and notably, Malthus focused on the distribution of wealth.
I doubt they need to increase revenue. They have billions. What they need to do is reduce costs. I have no idea what they look like internally, but I have never seen a company of their size that cannot be streamlined.
That's funny...I've never thought of it that way, taking Github and AWS S3 so much for granted these days...but one of things students really liked in a class I taught on using the Unix shell was the ability to automate the pushing of files to their school account folder and have it show up immediately at stanford.edu/~theirusername

I think one important issue is how these managers, who's roles and titles were diminished with this holacracy approach, will sell themselves as managers in future roles outside of Zappos.

These days no one really envisions working for the same company for 30 years. It will be tough for leaders within Zappos to show on paper their leadership progression.

I think the idea of holacracy has legs, but I haven't seen any other implementation that would lend credence so far.
That title is more than a little bit disingenuous. The Surface tablets didn't break, the stadium had networking issues completely unrelated to the tablets.

>"Our team on the field has confirmed the issue was not related to the tablets themselves but rather an issue with the network. We worked with our partners who manage the network to ensure the issue was resolved quickly."
It's up to the publisher, you can have a completely DRM free game on Steam. For instance, I just copied the FTL game recently from my Steam install folder to my netbook to play on a trip. Steam has never been installed on it.
I think you've got a very poor picture of what management is about- perhaps you've had a string of very bad ones. Power isn't the benefit of the role unless you're a sociopath or an asshole.

Managing people is a complex problem that requires a specific set of skills which take time and practice to get right. I've known (and reported to) incredible managers who not only got us to achieve more than our team would have otherwise, but made us enjoy our jobs more in the process. I've also had managers who've lacked in that skillset, and had the exact opposite effect. And it was never because they were assholes or sociopaths- they just didn't have the skills they needed for the job.

I may take on the management role someday, not because of some dream of lording over people and giving orders (that part actually turns me off) but because it's a new domain of complex problems.
Also a lot of systems strip anything after the + now, especially spam systems.
