I've got 165,372K, which is still a bit high, but not that high. The Economist tab is at 97,144K, Outlook is 84,340, and HN is 28,016K.

I think part of it is from the GPU: my GPU memory was marginally smaller than Umbrella's tab's usage once I turn to it (and slowly went down to 95,000k when I left). So maybe it's the little droplets or something.

Not that I'm disagreeing with you but the German High Command thought much the same about the Enigma.

The only rational response in the face of the Snowden leaks is to assume everything is compromised and either defend in depth or simply not commit it to a computer (under the assumption what you are keeping private is that important).

If I was a high end cryptographer or someone in that sphere I'd also likely be (if they aren't already) be using an air gapped machine, the threat is that pernicious.
How so? Is that not what the paid tiers are for?
This was a great read. I worked at a large web agency once and did some pretty decent work. It is definitely rewarding to see people use something that you worked hard on and to see it on tv and in magazines, etc. But that yearn to do your own thing, blaze your own path is a feeling that I'm certain most people who work in creative fields go though.

Sidenote: before he said that the small projects were cancelled, I assumed that they were Evolve (https://evolvegame.com/agegate/) (I don't follow games close enough to know which studio makes which game).

I'm curious as to how he was able to, I assume, bootstrap a game company for a year before releasing an iOS game.

沒錯。After reading the fine article kindly submitted here and all the previous comments, I think I should draw on my education and life experience to comment too. I have been studying the Chinese language since 1975, my undergraduate major subject in university was Chinese language, and have I lived after university graduation in the Chinese-speaking world for two three-year stints (mid-1980s and spanning the turn of the last century). I have worked for many years as a Chinese-English translator of written texts and as a Chinese-English interpreter for official visitors to the United States. Besides learning Mandarin well enough to work as an interpreter, I have also studied other Sinitic languages, such as Taiwanese, Cantonese, and Hakka. My university studies acquainted me not only with Modern Standard Chinese but also with Literary Chinese.

The blog post kindly submitted here is by a linguist, Geoffrey Pullum, who specializes in the English language and who co-edited the most definitive grammar of the English language.[1] Pullum is not a specialist in Chinese language but he cites the numerous writings of Victor Mair,[2] who does have deep professional knowledge of the Chinese language. Simply put, the author's comments are linguistically and sociologically correct. My nieces and nephews who grew up in the Chinese-speaking world were faced with a considerably more difficult task in learning to read and write than was strictly necessary, solely because of clinging to the tradition of writing Chinese in the traditional characters rather than the alphabetical writing systems that are used EVERYWHERE in the Chinese-speaking world for initial reading instruction.

The late Y.R. Chao, an eminent Chinese linguist, made the simple point about alphabetical writing of Chinese: if one claims that alphabetical writing cannot be understood, that is equivalent to claiming that Chinese people cannot speak to one another over the telephone. But in fact Chinese people can speak to one another over the telephone just fine--I have seen it done, and I have been party of many international voice-only conversations in Chinese. See a whole book The Chinese Language: Fact and Fantasy by the late John DeFrancis,[3] a linguist who specialized in the study of the Chinese writing system, for more details.

I wasn't able to find your particular point in my searching, but I did find a paper from 2000 that came to a similar conclusion[1]

"This difference in perception has a potential of creating tension within the team and disrupting the cooperation, because there is a possibility that every single team member may feel to be undervalued by others and not receive his or her due."

"The perception gap can be a threat to the team and its
goals. Facing the gap requires interpersonal skills on the
part of the team management and team members."

My friends, we are finally hitting the new economy where even startup are being asked to make money---maybe not to the point of profitability, but even a little revenue can make a big difference in a lean organization.
Battery swap failed after a $700M investment from Better Place for many reasons. But the big issue is that with battery swap, car owners do not buy or own their battery. But most of the innovation is in the battery. For innovation, you need competitive markets with lots of buyers and lots of competitors. It's much harder to have that with swap
I'm curious how LexisNexis is going to attack this breach of their monopoly. Do they have patents on case law search?
Isn't it generally a rule that the game board can never be returned to a state it was previously in?
I suspect Ubisoft has vastly different attitudes for different teams. You have the guys making the extremely fun, innovative, Rayman platformers, designing levels like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m5YQrucis8

Then down the hall you have the guys chugging out Assassin's Creed 57: Nothing At All New.

That said, I'm an outsider, I don't know, but I'm wagering those vastly different games have vastly different types of teams behind them.
Having worked at both a small-time and significant studio, I too can confirm the whole industry is nuts, as the sibling comment says.

vvanders' comment is such a perfect illustration of the situation that you should read and re-read it and then force yourself to believe it. I didn't.

None of this will really change the minds of a determined 19 year old to become a gamedev, though. That's why gamedev is able to treat employees as if they worked at a startup while giving none of the benefits. If one leaves, there are ten young people who want to take their place, and are massively excited to do so. For a few years.
Nah it's fine, just excuse me while I smash this basket full of eggs.

Not sure what the use case is either since you can already send multiple commands manually (and of course automatically) with Ansible, it's almost comically easy to setup as well.

Re. Gates/humanitarian: he is not regarded as one for his work at Microsoft but due to his work at the Gates Foundation. Are you able to say that the world would be better off if the Gates Foundation did not exist?

Absolutely, but would charging them for a (technically) trivial feature be self-limiting to our growth?

Another question: Would be worthwhile to apply to YC with a product of this nature?

This was super helpful. Thank you for taking the time Michael.
NN&DL is great for neural nets specifically, it doesn't really cover other branches of ML. That being said, I found it very easy to understand with no prior ML knowledge, all you need is some calculus and linear algebra experience.
It's actually mentioned in the headline:

"Let’s imagine that you are the founder of a company that has successfully raised an angel or institutional round ..."

That implicitly means there was more than a year of runway (otherwise it's not much of a round).
It is. The page starts with talk about namespaces and such, so one thinks this will be about some cool new features of C++11, but instead ends with a global #define.

Yes, coding like this is evil and will eat your hamster. For example, trying to have a variable named "platform" will break your code in strange ways. And before you say "but it's C++, it's modern", CppCoreGuidelines explicitly say this is bad and that one should favor #ifdefs. (https://github.com/isocpp/CppCoreGuidelines/blob/master/CppC...)
> Time sharing and the obligation not to break "the family computer" make it pretty useless as a tinkering platform, unless your parents are technical and comfortable with it.

I follow the logic here, and intuitively agree, but anecdotally it was almost the exact opposite experience that started my interest in computers.

We got a computer mainly to help with personal accounting type things. Beyond what my mother knew of Excel, my parents were not at all technically savvy. Probably because of this (that is, that they didn't know how to restrict/follow what I was messing with) they gave me relatively free reign to tinker on our family computer from the age of about 8 on. After a few years I just fell into the de facto IT of the house.

I wonder if the problem now is that computers are used for so much more by adults? As long as I could fix/hide whatever I broke before my parents needed to update their budget or check their email, hardly even a daily ritual at the time, I was in the clear.

Haha yea that is true. DO is much easier to just get a VPS up and running asap.

But imo EC2 servers aren't that hard after you do it your first time or two. Most of the defaults work and I always setup SSH key on DO servers anyway.

Then you get the benefit down the road of being able to link all of the other services together when it is time to scale up a bit.
I got about 20,000K for that page. The animated page does seem to climb a bit, but now that I've reloaded the page, it doesn't seem to be that high, sticking around 21,000K. So... maybe it just wasn't releasing all the memory as fast or something in Chrome?
Was laughing when reading "12 months of runway" as "low runaway". My bootstrapped company is "low runaway" by default since the past two years. Every. Single. Month.

I don't know the facts in great detail on the surface it seems like a good verdict. However the pre verdict punishment of being banned from the Internet for three years while the case progresses is ridiculous. This is a great travesty to any sense of justice or fairness in judicial proceedings. The crown should not get to impose such conditions.
I think Unity is something we'd love to support in the long term. I don't know what the timeline on the would be though.

We already have people who are using buddybuild to co-ordinate deploying mobile and server apps (either a full environment or something like Parse's Cloud Code). I've also seen people spin up a local server environment for running iOS Simulator tests against, so their entire stack can be tested.

The battle to stop people from copying shapes
Not very thoughtful 2c: success or failure of a bank is driven more by where you choose to invest your capital than trying to improve the consumer experience and secure deposits. Due to the way the system is set up, the consumer is almost irrelevant in the equation. So while their might be some margin to squeeze in improving the consumer experience, it's probably insignificant vs. say, picking the right bundle of mortgages to buy.

What about building a frontend as a service and selling it to other banks? That sounds like a better way to focus on a tech/product edge.
I'm really curious because I've heard this idea of starting a startup by buying an existing bank a few times on HN - has anyone done this before?
Sorry everyone's downvoted you, despite that you're correct.

I do Devops, and Docker provides very little benefit in production (unless you're an org with your own non-cloud computing resources, where you're going to orchestrate with something like Kubernetes; even then, there's dissent in the ranks between that project and Docker).
Python and Javascript should be able to compute exactly the same things (assuming an appropriate compiler/runtime and infinite time & space): any computable function.
Have you used the D programming language at all?

No, not "freely accessable online", not until the 8 year exclusivity agreement with Ravel expires. It's a pay service with a free tier.[1]

"Under the Harvard-Ravel agreement, Ravel is paying all of the costs of digitizing case law. HLS owns the resulting data, and Ravel has an obligation to offer free public access to all of the digitized case law on its site and to provide non-profit developers with free ongoing API access (Ravel may charge for-profit developers). Ravel will have a temporary exclusive commercial license for a maximum of eight years."

"For the duration of that commercial license, there will be a restriction on bulk download of the case law, with some notable exceptions. Harvard may provide bulk access to members of the Harvard community and to outside research scholars (so long as they accept contractual prohibitions on redistribution)."[2]

While many people do buy a car every 3 to 5 years, they sell that car to somebody else, and the average car lasts about 19 years, with several owners. On the other hand, cell phones are sometimes resold but not nearly in the same way. Many of us have those old phones in the drawer, and would still do that even if there were a big ecosystem for selling them.

Well if you are knowingly creating software that you can reasonably expect someone to use it unethically then you are responsible.

You might say that you are not directly responsible and that there are second or third order effects. Or you might even say every man has his own judgement, I cannot be made ethically responsible for his actions with the software I created.

Sure, no you are not responsible, but you were an enabler of his behaviour, you brought that man/company whatever one step closer.

To answer your question, I think you don't need to create separation between the two, they are intertwined. The software would be less likely to have been created if you didn't write it in the first place and you probably wouldn't have written it if someone wasn't going to use it.

So as a software engineer I think it's reasonable to expect to try to understand who is it that you are creating the software for, how are they planning to use it, who is selling it to whom, what kind of people they are etc.

> You still get paid.

In the case of the game industry, you still got paid, but markedly less than a comparable software engineering job outside the game industry and with poor working conditions in general. This is tolerated because you're invested in the work; when that work just gets thrown away, you might as well have been working on the next Facebook for Cats and making the correspondingly at-market/inflated salary.
Patents expire in 20 years, and Lexis-Nexis has been doing this for decades now.
You might be already doing this with your React/Webpack, but picking up some ES6 might be a good thing to do.

I've slowly been adding some ES6 into my code and there are some really nice things.

10 Best JQuery and HTML5 WYSIWYG Editors
Myrddin language has very similar ideology in syntax to ACPUL.

http://acpul.org/ (see api & samples, also screenshots with minimal working code for DOTA game prototype)

But ACPUL is different, main idea in minimal touch programming on mobiles with full livecoding using self-development tools. Not only language. For example, editor & debugger is used and developed in real-time (also as other parts). By this, ACPUL syntax is very limited. It don't have strings, because strings is form of data. ACPUL don't have standart console log, because your console is whole GPU-accleated screen. And many others things.

I think Myrddin in right way, but additional tools is needed. I like it!

that should be considered a backdoor, unless they make their findings about quantum computing public (the same goes for undisclosed "0-day" bugs that they discover).
I guess I'm saying that 90% of companies don't fall into that category - so applicability is low.

Also speaking of implicit statements, he is saying that no matter what, if you have raised money, you should shut your company down if you are within 2 months of insolvency. Which I think goes back to my original point that you only shut down when you lose faith.
Meaning every restart brings the system back to a fresh state. Most trojans/backdoors persist because they're able to modify the underlying OS to load them on boot. No, immutable OSes are -- by no means -- a new idea. This just uses the approach by default.

Ok, then yes, Solaris read-only zones provide that level of immutability.

Not talking about the kernel specifically. Although there's no reason the bootup time should be slowed down by loading unnecessary HAL, drivers, protocols, utilities that will never be used in a server setup. GBs of modules was referring to the rest of the OS made up mostly of features that will never be used by the server.

A good operating system will be smart enough to only load what it needs; there will be some inefficiency, but protocols, drivers, HAL are actually used in server setups and are not usually the source of significantly increased boot times unless they're misconfigured. Also, with a proper service management facility and packaging, it should be possible to simply omit unnecessary items; services are usually what contribute the most to startup time.

Crypto support is one big issue. I'd assume if the OS uses V8 at the base level, it should be able to be packaged with OpenSSL.

Right, but you generally need more crypto administrative capability than OpenSSL alone provides to manage a sufficiently complex application. (e.g. gnupg, etc.)

Security auditing at the OS level isn't required to the same degree it is on other OSes because the attack surface is so small.

Sorry, I'll have to disagree on that point. Auditing is always important because it allows you to determine what happened and why when privileged operations are involved. The overhead of auditing is almost completely determined by what an administrator chooses to audit and how detailed that auditing is.

For instance, you don't have to check for SSH vulnerabilities when there's no SSH.

Perhaps you misunderstood what I referred to when I spoke of auditing; I don't speak of checking for vulnerabilities -- packaging should generally handle that in combination with metadata and reporting. I was referring to the recording of the assumption of privileged operations, system authentication, and related details.

The userspace sandbox isn't necessary because everything that's network-facing already has to run through V8's sandbox.

Disagree again; the point of having a userspace sandbox is in case something escapes V8's sandbox, which has been done in the past. It's an extra line of defense.

Application-level vulnerabilities will always be an issue but that's nothing new. This doesn't solve all problems. Just reduces the potential for issues.

While it reduces the number of problems in the existing space, I personally believe it creates new problems. I'm not sure the tradeoffs are worth it.

I would rather see an immutable container with a minimised set of packages with proper auditing enabled. That's far easier to test and deploy and doesn't create new problems.
Their value is in categorization, summarization, searching, and "shepardizing." Shepardizing checks to see if a later case mentions, contradicts, conflicts, distinguishes etc. the case.

Currently most of this is actually done by humans. Eventually more and more will be done by computer analysis. But a quick google like algorithm doesn't really work. Google scholar has most case law and its just not effective.
I'd also add c) haven't tested that all the services start up successfully in that long
This is extremely impressive.

I've tried a wide variety of voxel modeling tools, free and not free, and this one's by far the most intuitive, and prettiest, I've found - in that it's the only one I haven't given up on in intense annoyance after 10 minutes or so.

Might end up using this for an animation project - thanks to the OP!
That (tab) looks pretty cool. I didn't say that nothing new can be invented though, only that you won't find a new language that can compute a function that no other existing language can.
I haven't, I'm afraid.

That does not sound practical at all.
Oh, I know what all the advice is in the abstract. I want anecdotes, to see whether the advice people give actually matches up with the statistical reality.

For example, large raises might happen more often than people think. If the people who do get raises never talk about them, for fear of their coworkers finding out about the widened pay-gap, then it would seem like nobody gets big raises.
Exactly. And yet they are profoundly different. That's my point. Obviously the things you can do in JS that you can't do in Python, or vice versa, have nothing to do with computation, so your original comment here is kind of pointless.
But both were late compared to the first newspaper on the net. The MIT Tech first published on the web in 1993, and on telnet before that. And they have digital archives going back to 1882.
