Lots of neat and profitable games have been made in slower languages, so you should be fine, though in some cases you might have to replicate an entire engine... Not being real familiar with Go, the thing you'll want to look out for if your game gets "big" is unpredictable GC events, more-so even than the absolute max duration of any particular GC event. If Go (or whatever else) doesn't provide enough tuning to support "soft" realtime systems, you'll end up structuring your program to allocate in pools and release all references only at certain points to try and make the GC predictable, which is a common pattern for non-GC languages in games, so you've all but lost the let-me-not-care-about-memory-management justification for the language except for the safety aspects, which don't tend to be high priority for games...
If working at Yahoo is really so Kafkaesque that getting a promotion is meaningless in determining how you're doing and the value you're providing the company, then they deserve to lose the lawsuit.

I suppose it would explain some other things about how Yahoo's been doing recently.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but do you have data supporting this statement? I've been interested in peer to peer lending for awhile and this turns me off a bit.
I think that most of the users here (including the OP) understand the difference. But sometimes there is some information in the video. For an unrelated success case, you can read the reconstruction of the video of the first spacex "landing" http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2014/06/recovering-falcon-9-o... Another case was the reconstruction of Pluto surface using images of the Hubble in 2010: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/hubble/science/pluto-20100...

In this video the resolution is good, the problem is that there is a big reflection over the windshield that covers completely the driver. Perhaps if you can subtract the reflections and take an average between all the frames of the video you could get something.

I'm not very optimistic. I'll be happy if it's possible to count how many passengers were in the car. Tall/Short. Fat/Thin. But I guess it will not be possible to get facial details.

[Somewhat unrelated: A few years ago, I analyzed videos to track particles with a resolution on 1/10th of a pixel. It was easier because the particles were round, so you only need to guess where they are. But obviously it was not possible to see if they have a smile face painted on them.]

First-- take out the emotional aspect of your contribution (I know this is difficult).

Can you calculate your impact on the bottom line? How did you help them save money/make money?

Breakdown all of your job deliverables-- compare & contrast difference with what they would likely pay at market rates. Based on your brief description, you might easily be the equivalent of a $200K/year guy and a full-partner in the business.

Assuming they agree conceptually-- and recognize your contributions have been vital to the teams success. Give them options (not ultimatums) on moving forward from here.

Why is "defer" different from "snooze"? Both indicate picking a time to deal with the email.
Same as with any other crappy set of APIs and standards - hide the complexity underneath a thin layer of DSLs.

I do not consider any area where this is possible to do (i.e., any area where complexity is artificial, not inherent) to be really complex and challenging, unlike the domains where complexity cannot be eliminated by simply removing the stupidity.
Very true. However, the number of remote code execution vulnerabilities resulting from memory safety problems would be lower. This matters because these comprise the vast majority of vulnerabilities on the list.
I'm interested in your path to the free SaaS tool. Do you think it would be viable to outsource the creation of tools to compete with popular, paid ones, offer the outsourced tool for free, and rake in ad-revenue/e-book sales? With proper marketing and seo a person could probably break even within a few months.

Not because you have to but because you can. It proves the "tool" is pure information. Speech.
That was a little bit vague. How does the heat actually get out of this thing and into the water? If the plasma is confined in a magnetic field, not in contact with the shell, and the shell is super-cooled to 4K, I'm a little lost on how it would work in practice.

The UEFI approach also isn't "flashing under Linux". It's "Stash a UEFI capsule somewhere into RAM, suspend, have UEFI update itself on wake-up before returning control to the OS"

Now, having the firmware run a seldomly used code path on resume sounds scary to me: That _must_ be accompanied with some OS-level check (eg hashing) that the firmware didn't touch any memory that it didn't originally reserve.

Luckily Windows is doing that, so Linux can ride the coattail again (as is usual with Intel-originated firmware standards) - except if Windows is guaranteeing some unused memory, because then, some UEFI implementation exploit that, inadvertently breaking things on Linux (yet again).

We have had more than enough example of women leaders who are just as hawkish as men and as diabolical too. Heck, just look at the past ten years across the globe for some who belong in the animal farm camp (as in, I can't tell the difference anymore). Perhaps it just soft discrimination that some think women are more understanding and less likely to be as rotten. Its a political thing, a power thing, it is certain not filtered by the sex of the person
Eric Schmidt has been claiming that fiber is making good money. Which doesn't seem impossible.
Depends on the role. For example, I think a postman is a government employee? In that case, about the same as I'd think of an Amazon engineer who didn't know that. I have no idea how they don't know it, and I think a little less of them for it. But if it's not relevant for their work, I don't judge their skill by it, and I don't think less of them than I do of anyone else.

If you want me to be - offended? shocked? contemptuous? - of what someone doesn't know, please tell me why it's so important for them to know it. Not just why it could potentially be useful for someone in their role. Why it's so important for anyone in this role, that this particular thing gets singled out, suggests in lieu of all other data that they're incompetent.

I'm an engineer at a publicly traded company. (Or so I assume. I could be mistaken.) I can think of dozens of things I don't know that would be useful for me to know. I do know what a publicly traded company is, but this knowledge is not useful for me in my role.

This assumes an inbox is a type of "project" that needs to be "completed". It's structured on the concept of removing messages from my screen until there is nothing left for me to "do".

My inbox is often more of a conversation that I fade in and out of. Sometimes it resembles a facebook feed. Granted, I'm not a type A personality, but not all email is has to be "done" anymore than all reading books need to be "done". They can be continuous reference or contemplation for a time.

I guess it depends on if we are talking about work email or personal email. Perhaps even more, it's just about perception.

Good stuff.

Why did you use "respond" instead of "reply"? It's just as descriptive, and is the canonical term. It takes mental overhead to parse new terminology.

And I see the business angle in "delegate", but forwarding isn't always for purposes of delegation.

Yes to this. Musk is brilliant, but more in the Henry Ford sort of way than the Einstein/Tesla sort of way.

And that's not to diminish him. To the contrary, we need more visionary industrialists than scientists/engineers. Visionary industrialists can provide jobs and funds to brilliant scientists/engineers.
It's still a country, albeit one in increasingly reluctant political union with England. It would be rare for a Scot to refer to something as happening in the UK rather than specifically Scotland.

The legal system is independent and different to England and Wales for instance.

The nearest US equivalent would I guess be Puerto Rico rather than Maine.
To be totally honest, it's hard to feel any enthusiasm for future space travel/exploration when it seems like a real question as to whether or not civilization will still be around in one hundred years. Climate change is such a huge problem that it dwarfs other scientific concerns. That being said, I suppose there's a chance that space exploration could drive technological innovations that could help on that front.

Defer forces you to book a time in your calendar instead of "snoozing" the message just so that it reappears later. Actually, snoozing was one of the most exciting features I saw in Mailbox, but after using it heavily I realised I get plenty of messages on Monday morning back to inbox and I just snooze them again. It turned to be a complete disappointment for me
In this case, it's DC over the USB-C cable. Reverse polarity protection is 1) easy and 2) cheap. That's the most striking part to me, and I almost thought the original post was a joke... because it seems insane there wouldn't be reverse polarity detection built-in to the laptop.

The best part is, a YouTube takedown is not a DMCA takedown - they've consciously chosen to make their own process to avoid the responsibilities (and protections) of the latter.

So what could YouTube possibly do to you for misusing the process? It's not a federal legal thing anymore. I suppose the takedown-ee could sue you for missed revenues if they really wanted to, but seeing as how there's nothing preventing bogus-named accounts from filing takedowns....

I suspect they had a very robust testing regime for both the software and the hardware used in this project. As well as more formal mathematical proofs of the physics to back up their engineering.

A better analogy might be for rockets / spaceflight-- where individual systems are rigorously tested independently, but a live launch is the only place that they all come together and have to function as one tightly coupled system.

This landing page and design could have been generated by software that intentionally crafted status quo product examples, and I would not be able to tell it apart from something legitimately created.

I guess I'm old fashioned, but I never really "got" Parse and other hosted backend services. It's easy enough to build a backend that talks to a mongo-like database (for the vast majority of use cases), especially with help from the hundreds of awesome and free libraries/drivers out there. Plus, you don't have the risk of some business executive randomly deciding to kill your backend, and when you're debugging, it's one less chance of the bug being in the platform you're relying on and not your code (which is something you can immediately do something about).

I've never outsourced anything, because I've found that usually websites end up with a "core audience", aka maybe 100-500 people who make up the bulk of discussion, feedback, etc. I like to build relationships with these people, to better understand my audience. Plus they usually market my sites for me. It's a pretty painstakingly long process though.

On the other hand, I've read about owners of tools (like ListenToYouTube, W3Counter) - who run just a tool by itself with little or no social features.

If it's just the tool the audience wants, it may be totally possible to outsource the creation - and than just focus on marketing it. I'd like to see someone take a SaaS tool, outsource the development - release it for free (ad-funded or similar) and post a case study.
It was high time for it to come back.

Let's face it, you are going to spend the majority of your life at work. Is money the only thing you care about? If so, why not doing something else? Nobody gets rich being a checked out employee.

You not only get paid with money, you get also paid with experience. That experience has a market value.

If your resume reads: "mindless checked out employee in tyrannic sweatshop using 15 years old tech", your market value will be lower than "engaged employee in innovative company using cutting edge tech". So if money matters to you, you should care about investing your career in experiences that lead to a higher market value.
At the x86 level, myPool.Get(Index) is going to be at least as expensive as cmp/jae/mov (3 cycles), and myPool.Get().(myStruct) is going to be at least as expensive as cmp/jae/cmp/jne/mov (5 cycles). So unless you have some way of hiding the latency, the type check is 67% slower by cycle count.

The experience of every JIT developer is that dynamic type checks do matter a lot in hot paths.

Just ask ad agencies. I worked for an old-style typesetting outfit as late as 1995 that still did lots of display type work for ad agencies. I found this kind of remarkable, considering how long desktop publishing had been around. The agencies outsourced the work (kerning and other typographic best practice) to "the professionals" because, well, it was still a valued specialist skill.

If you're using the plug to do USB, you only use the pins on a single side. It's also possible to use DisplayPort and USB 2.0 with the pins on one side.

You use the pins on both sides to do four-lane DisplayPort, or DisplayPort and USB 3 at the same time, or Thunderbolt.
I think the idea here is to have continuous and reliable base line power that is clean. While solar does present a lot of opportunities it is highly sensitive to weather, in not changes in the Earth's orientation seasonally.

Throw in we have lots of established plants with steam generators a new source of steam would integrate nicely into complex systems we already understand.
So, there's a couple of interesting bits of context. Firstly, the way these dodgy cables try and suck more juice out of sockets is by putting passives between the data lines to trick the phone into a genuine OEM charger from the same manufacturer, so it ignores the USB power specs.

Secondly, the way USB declares that something is a host is by tying ground to the sheath.

So, there's precedent for tying things together (through a passive), and tying things to ground (but only things that are floating). MY guess is that they bought some connectors designed for USB host that had the sheath tied to ground and in their attempts to tie D+ and D- together shorted to ground. Only a guess though, you really don't want to do this.
Let's try a bit of wordsmithing.

Either stick to the 4 D's of GTD: Delete, Do, Delegate, Defer; or use the commonplace terms: Archive, Reply, Forward, Snooze. When you do this, do you start to realize how similar it looks to existing email clients?

By the way you say there is no Snooze button- then what is Defer?
