It was my birthday present when I was 11, after drooling over it in the MacMall catalog for months and begging my parents every time I thought I could risk it... CodeWarrior was like the Christmas Story kid's BB Gun for me. I think they must have found the academic discount, there's no way they could have afforded the $400.

I had no idea what I was getting myself into, I just knew I needed a good "compiler" to make "programs". Apple's IDE (MPW?) was really horrendous by comparison - I was unable to get anywhere with it.

I also literally learned how to write C in CodeWarrior. I wish I could find the CodeWarrior people and tell them how influential it was.
They also recently did a similar project in Bothell, WA:

> The problem is, all those on shared hosting can't handle 100 concurrent users without crashing.

This is not a configuration problem though, but a shared hosting problem. Most of the modern shared hosting is no longer a shared hosting. Instead, each client gets a tiny slice of server resources and never more, not even for a day. Their rationale for this is to host more clients on the same server. And they seem to be ok with clients leaving if their websites went down because of this. Some even make money selling such solutions, like cloudlinux.
I don't get how fraudsters can create all of these fake identities. Every cc and bank acct application I've ever filled out has asked me for my SSN. Surely the banks check on that before issuing a card? How can n fraudsters get n^2 valid ssns?

Yeah, it's pretty believable that it's a myth, but do you ever get the feeling that people in the tech community want it to be a myth a little bit too much? Just like people on the other side really want it to exist.

The idea of it certainly poses an interesting dilemma, especially if you are invested in being for strong encryption and against Government surveillance. How well will those idea hold up if it ever turns out that evil terrorist armies really are using strong encryption to carry out mass murder and acts of War in the West?

> They absolutely need to take blame for not atleast advising James Baker to put in a collar

It would seem they actually did. [1] Goldman certainly didn't provide the best service here, but I don't think what they did were illegal.

The blame for going through with this transaction falls on the clients who refused to hire an accountant when Goldman recommended it and pushed for an accelerated schedule. Heck, they agreed to an all-stock deal without even having their bankers present. (Of course, the ultimate blame lies with L&H who committed criminal fraud.)

TSG is a surprisingly clever book for its size, especially considering it's neither a formal textbook nor a treatise in any way on evolution or biology, and it comes with almost no prerequisites.

I think you'll find it does more to address your concerns here than you're expecting. It even includes a decent amount of game theoretic discussion with a view towards explaining cooperative and noncooperative behaviors as well as a more general notion of an evolutionarily stable strategy.

Yeah, unless you're willing to elaborate on the reasons behind this statement, it's hard to give it a lot of credence. In fact, your reputation is the only reason I'd give it any credence at all, without some explanation.

We've been happy Linode customers for a while now, and definitely prefer Linode to where we were before (Rackspace, via the Slicehost acquisition). I'm not opposed to moving to something like DigitalOcean or other but right now I'm seeing any compelling reason to make a move.

Reddit is run by a bunch of leeches who rely on moderators to create content and never reward them.

Snapzu (http://snapzu.com) is a reddit alternative that has a referral program that splits revenues with moderators, as a reward and incentive to grow it. Their system is similar where instead of subreddits, there are 'tribes', but it's essentially the same way of organizing communities.

Here is a link to their referral program page: http://snapzu.com/referralprogram/
Give them time.
And what happens when you irradiate the tomatoes, hoping for the DNA to change in ways that help? Using today's legislation, if the modification happened like that, the result is not considered GMO. That, along with completely random mutation, leave to novel genetics all the time.

So when we do it ourselves, we don't know what we are doing, but when we let randomness perform larger modifications, then we are 100% ok with it, and you can buy the output as certified organic.

If all the plants we ate had tightly controlled genetics, I'd understand the argument, but in practice, the most genetically consistent vegetables you can buy come from big agribusiness.
All of these years later, I still find it fascinating that the man who brought us the notion of the evolutionarily stable strategy, and who spelled out why it would be a fools errand to try to work against the ESS ... spends his free time railing against all of the dimwits he sees going to church.

He should read his own book.
No one claims that genes will live forever and even beyond the heat death of the universe.

The term "immortal" in this context means that it lives far longer than individual organisms. A gene will typically remain unchanged for many, many generations of ephemeral individuals. We can talk about "a gene" while talking about the same thing in multiple individuals in the same generation and in multiple generations. It's a piece of binary information.

Of course, eventually, a gene may vanish because no individuals survive that carry it (e.g. due to competition from other genes, or because the entire species vanishes in some catastrophe).
For all those who want some sort of backup: There is a search function here. If you search for Linode, you'll find a long string of security blunders. You really won't have to try hard. (PS. I'm a current Linode customer)
"The main reason why severance is offered is to keep people from portraying the company in a bad light."

Probably a more important reason for offering severance is to insure against former employees suing the company (for wrongful dismissal, discrimination, sexual harassment, etc.). Most severance agreements demand a "general release of liability" in return for the severance payment. (Of course, that doesn't shield the company from criminal liability if anything they did was actually illegal, e.g., wage theft.)
That's an interesting one, but was it written for a popular audience? (Maybe it was; I don't know.) In terms of achieving a popular audience, "Relativity: The special and general theory" may be in the same league as Darwin.
Just a comment on my experience: the last time one of these threads appeared (after reading several prior), I followed tptacek's advice and shut down the few remaining Linode instances I had. Linode handled it professionally: I removed my nodes, canceled my account online in a couple clicks, and requested a refund of the credit on my account (I had pre-paid for a year, and Linode refunded the time remaining). The payment was issued quickly and without confrontation (though they did ask, by email, for the last six digits of my credit card for "verification") I then deleted my account.

All told, it took a few minutes one evening.

Are there any whitepapers or case studies of large-scale production applications using and maintaining a sync function?

1. Intersection analysis: Get traffic patterns with smart phones. Get traffic accidents and latency statistics by different intersection designs. Determine which intersections are most ripe for improvement. Give free access to departments of transportation. Traffic is a huge problem for society and self-driving cars are realistically a long way off from a total rollout.

2. Programming humans: When you train a neural network, you give it as carefully chosen data labeled as clearly as possible. When you train humans, they listen to a teacher and hope to collect 5-6 useful examples of a concept per hour somewhere in the thousands of words spoken by the teacher. What if you turbo charge that? One related experiment I'm considering is collecting thousands of images of different body language cues and making an app to train my brain (and that of other social handicaps like myself) to read body language more effectively.
Yeah, it's called Virtual DNS (vDNS); essentially a DNS application proxy.

(email me if you want more info; it's not really ideal for small sites, it's better to just use cf for hosted DNS then, since it's free, but we're happy to do vDNS for people who can't do hosted. Mainly providers, but also some enterprise customers with special DNS needs. It's a pretty cool technology.)

https://www.cloudflare.com/virtual-dns/
Yes, customers of other budget VPS providers are complaining about this too.

> why should a network you're paying $20-$100 do everything they can to keep a target online and threaten other customers?

I am not a network engineer and I know that this is a very difficult problem. But when the provider doesn't even _seem_ to try, it only encourages further attacks.
> But a banker's role is really to provide advice on the deal and work in the best interests of the client.

In this case, they strongly recommended that the clients hire an external accountant who would be more skilled in investigating cash flow fraud. Forensic accounting is out of the scope of the banker's engagement, but recommending that they hire someone to do it was serving the client.

It really seems like Dragon was pushing the transaction to go faster, against Goldman's recommendation.

> Goldman says the all-stock deal was approved without their presence; Baker says they didn't show up.

So they both agree that the Bakers accepted an all-stock deal without Goldman's recommendation. While Goldman comes off looking lazy here, it doesn't make them liable.

How do you handle credit card / PayPal fraud? When I think about it, this is about the best cash out service I can think of. Carders and phishers are going to love you. The goods are going to be out of the country long before anybody notices any fraudulent charges on their accounts. Guess who is going to be left holding the bag?

EDIT: I hope your OPSEC is top notch. Your platform is going to be such a jummy target to all miscreants. Imagine what fun they could have if they had unrestricted access to your backend.
Yes. It's easier to troubleshoot CSS when pre-compiled/processed code looks similar to post-compiled/processed code.

Also, it does force you to write CSS more efficiently because if you work with pre-processor language, you often don't see the bloat.
I am not a lawyer but I don't believe selling guns without background checks is entirely legal in the US, so fearmongering aside, the government might have a point, however tenuous it might be.
Zapatismo in Cyberspace: An Interview with Ricardo Dominguez
Oh not illegal for sure. But they dropped the ball. Bankers are shielded from practically every type of litigation based on engagement letters. But that doesn't mean that they didn't fail their client. I mean practically speaking if bank A botched a deal for Facebook, not many large tech companies would be lining up to engage them. They can't hold their hands up and say well its your fault so boo hoo. If that was acceptable behaviour in the market, nobody would hire bankers. Having seen bankers roll out a deal on a company that later proved to be a complete fraud, believe me when I say that people get fired for messing up. Which should give you some idea of whether the bank itself thinks someone dropped the ball.

Also it sounds like he said she said on the all stock thing. The Bakers say bankers weren't around. Also any decent banker would be able to tell you to up your asking price to account for rolling hedging costs and/or other risks.
I have never really considered repeating conditions instead of nesting. I might try doing so next time since I'm generally not happy with the depth of nesting I sometimes land myself in.

The problem I foresee with repeat conditions is that during a change, I might forget to update one or more of the repeat conditions.

Also, I wonder, do gcc and/or clang recognize repeat conditions and produce the equivalent of what nested statements would?
Yep. Looks to me like they just provided bad service.

After just watching another Bernie Madoff documentary, Is it possible it's in those kind of imaginary assets?
115k minimum is insane, and too high in most cases outside software engineering in certain geographical areas. There are many many other high-skilled professions that don't pay as much. I would go further and argue that current H1B regime already favors IT consulting and services companies more than any other professions. Generic skilled software engineers are pushed into the country in bulk by services companies. A completely hypothetical example: an industrial engineer with specific skills in supply chain working in say, Kentucky wouldn't earn 115k till may be 10 years into their career.

Heck, sidestepping academic/research quotas, 115k would even exclude professors from many top-ranked non-big city universities. Salary will unfortunately bias the H1B in favor of software engineering and high-cost-of-living geographical locations. Skilled professions earning < 115k in H1B include, professors, researchers, postdocs, resident doctors everywhere, engineers and accountants of all types outside big cities, etc. etc.

Working in your IT silos, it is easy for you to lose sight of the big picture.

Edit: To give you a sense of how dumb the idea is, look up assistant professor salaries at UIUC ECE, arguably one of the top 5 universities in this area in the country (or top 10 in the world, in fact), you'll find almost all assistant profs earn < 115k.

I think he was right to not focus too much on the "meme" concept he invented, because it is quite different from genes, scientifically (which is what he cares about).

1. The crucial thing with genes is that they are "binary", you either get a gene from a parent, or not. Mutations happen, but they produce new genes. Genes are "immortal" (exist for many, many generations in identical form). Memes, on the other hand, are not binary in this way. Ideas constantly change, and we can't reduce them to a binary code.

2. The rules of genetic competition are complex, but we have a good framework: natural selection and sexual selection. However, to explain memetic competition, we need to talk about psychology and sociology and so forth (in addition to biology). There are already fields doing that, from psychology and sociology to literature and religious studies, mostly in a non-scientific way, because we have yet to find a good scientific one.

3. For those reasons, "memetics" never succeeded as an academic discipline. The field has not succeeded in providing useful theories to be tested that tell us quantative things we don't already know.

Of course, at the same time the insights you mention are true. But they are not anywhere near as powerful as the concept of genes. They are mostly useful as an analogy, and to open people's minds, but not scientifically.

You seem to think that they owned their house in Toronto outright, which is rare for a young family, especially in such expensive area. Also, median detached house price in Toronto is just over a million, so if they got a couple of million, they had above average house as well, so it's still not clear how are they affording all of that. But, I don't think that's the point of the article, maybe they are trust fund babies, who cares.

Most of it is a personal preference. I'd rather pull the full repo of my dependencies in rather than "deal" with submodules. Submodules add some extra necessary workflow steps that others contributing to your repo might not be expecting. Subtree simplifies a lot of that.

As well, I think it helps to solidify the "reproducible build" concept by taking submodules 1 step further.
