narrowing and then differing to an authority to give you scope.

I think the difference is that you assume that is not happening in the entrepreneurial world. In fact it is, only guided by consumer demand, or some broadly defined corporate niche or group of uncoordinated individuals [1].

But that gets off the point however. Lets be clear here though, the scope of the article was how Google builds teams within the already defined "higher pay grade" problems. So by definition that is the context of what I am discussing teams already within a system. As it relates to Google they have "higher pay grade orders" from the Executive team of Page/Brin etc.... This is not Valve we are talking about here.

I think you are trying to make a larger statement about entreprenurial endeavors in sum total at the economy level which is not the scope of this discussion and it not relevant.

You're right, it doesn't at the moment. But the whole point behind WebRender is vector graphics are much better suited to GPU rendering - there's no reason SVG couldn't be targeted eventually.

Is this the remaining major hurdle toward getting mega-libraries like SciPy, pandas, and BioPython to work? Or will the C API in PyPy always be less performant than CPython?

If more people start using PyPy for ad-hoc data analysis, it could help nudge it out of its niche into the mainstream.
Are you arguing that the licensing requirements of the CDDL are the problem here? To the best of my knowledge (though I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice) that is not the case.

My understanding is that what Canonical is doing here is not a violation of any CDDL licensing terms, and the legal question is purely of whether or not it is a violation of GPL license terms.
I went to the comments to mention Zen and was glad it was already the top comment. I was lucky enough to get introduced to it early in college as it really got me thinking about quality. I should probably re-read it again to see if my thinking evolved since.
There's lots to respond to in this comment, but I'm going to go away and come back to see if anyone else steps in to address them.

I don't think that Google accepts +term any longer. They switched several years ago to requiring "term" with quotes. Presumably this was because they wanted to make searches for Google+ names easier. For a while I think they gave a warning, but it seems like they've stopped doing that now.

Edit: Wait, you work for Google, right? Am I the one that's lost? Did they switch back to supporting +term?
The author is a little deceptive, it wasn't a "Best Seller", it was a best seller in its category. Each category has its own best seller, and apparently the category he chose (Transpersonal Psychology Movements) doesn't have a lot of sales.

The deception is him telling people he's a "Best Seller" when really he's "Best Seller in Category." And frankly, Amazon's styling encourages the deception.

Here's a thought: maybe the shift in the index to display realtime website updates and factor in social network inputs have ruined their ranking system? Or at the very least, forced it to approximate results rather than be precise about it?

This is very much untrue. 1Password syncs an encrypted vault through separate channel (e.g. Dropbox, iCloud) -- it has zero-knowledge of your passwords. It just picks up a big encrypted blob from wherever you store it.

"The easiest way for us to protect your data and data about you is to not have that data in the first place. You may be noticing a theme by now: we can’t reveal or abuse data that we don’t have.

We do not have your 1Password data. We do not know your 1Password Master Password. We don’t even know if you use 1Password. We do not know how many items you have in your vault or their type."

I meant highest-earning as companies, not engineers, but I guess that also applies. To a lot of people, earning more money is a "high-score". They don't care that they never get a chance to spend it.

I'm also not saying I agree with this mindset. I'm just answering your question:
> What is it with Silicon Valley that always ends up in "you spend all your life at work and it's a good thing" ?
You see your problem as "police enforcement in the US is out of control". Other people see different problems. You saying, "We should all work to fix my problem because I am sure your problem is the same as mine" is effectively saying, "help me fix my problem before I will listen to you about your problem". Because your notion that you understand the problems of black people better than they themselves do is definitely a sign that you aren't listening.

And sure, the American notion of race is a bullshit social construct, but it is one that white people created, put into law, and enforced. And of course used as a tool to gain power. So if white people would like race not to be an issue anymore, they should get other white people to stop making it a thing. Telling black people to stop noticing the racial bias directed against them by white people will not actually end the bias, it just hides the evidence.

Browsers are already highly specialized and complex VMs. If you have the ability to build a browser and work on all parts of it, you have the ability to create new languages.

So creating a new language is not at all that far away from their core competency. They are also working in a space where they have a strong need for a good systems language, so the motivation is there as well.

Hey thanks! So we evaluated a bunch of different orchestrator options when we were first thinking about Redspread, and Kubernetes was opinionated in a way we liked the best.

Well, that has been done for decades. You just need to link your code with the correct libraries.

Its probably a bit easier with C as it has a common ABI, and C# as it only has one tool chain, and not multiple toolchains from multiple vendors like C++.

Modules will help here further.
An impressive, if not very technically interesting, result. I wonder if it can get cooler with hierarchical sets of neural nets with ever smaller grids...

An aside - I was really annoyed by "small-scale experiment shows that PlaNet reaches superhuman performance at the task of geolocating Street View scenes". It's absurd to say computers are superhuman at searching the web for instance, and though this is a much more impressive perception-based result it is still fundamentally very data intensive. Would be nice if 'superhuman' was used a bit less now that Deep Learning has already been proven to be capable of really impressive performance in perception tasks.
I haven't used React Native, but I've done quite a bit with native bridging with JavaScriptCore and v8. If your performance bottlenecks are crossing the Javascript-to-native boundary, JIT can't help you. And crossing the bridge boundary isn't the cheapest operation.

I feel like it's worth distinguishing between "not invented here" and "not hosted here" or whatever you want to call it. With other people's code, at least you have the option of making your own fork. With other people's services, the worst case scenario is much worse.
Kerckhoff's Principle holds only if the adversary's cost are unbounded. In reality, there's almost always a cost ceiling tied in some way to the value of the target.

In other words: you are welcome to spend unlimited hours and dollars finding and exploiting the flaws in HN's ranking model simply to prove a point, but hopefully, you have better things to do. Similarly, the HN team has better things to do than investing resources to defeat the (unlikely) adversaries who harness both skill and irrationality.

(This wrinkle of Kerckhoff's Principle comes up a lot in systems security work, which is why I was moved to comment about it.)

> It's a random thing that's kind of funny and probably will be fixed.

I don't think it will get fixed. Amazon chose to give the "best seller" title to the top book in each category. There is some justification for this, but mostly it makes people more likely to buy a book when they see the "best seller" label. Thus Amazon is incentivized to put the best seller label on as many books as possible.
I think it is because, for a lot of people, Lisp is fun.

If Lisp flourishes, more people would get to use it at work.

Lisp not flourishing means less fun.

Also, when I've worked in Lisp it just seemed like the right way to do things. Everyone likes to do the right thing, so anguish results when you seem denied the opportunity to follow the path you feel is right.

That said, I think the author was right and the community issues and ease of building your own solutions will limit Lisp as a language family.
Not sure what you're saying, what has to be?
I think the thing about lisp isn't the fact that it's functions start with a paren. It's the fact it uses function composition to write everything that makes it harder to keep track of. Most languages don't define their functions like this:

c = sqrt(a^2+b^2)
vs.
define(c, sqrt(sum(sqr(a),sqr(b))))

def getMaxValue(numbers):
answer = numbers.first()
for (i in xrange(numbers.length)):
if (numbers[i] > answer):
answer = numbers[i]
return answer

vs.
(defun get-max-value (list)
(let ((answer (first list)))
(do ((i 1 (1+ i)))
((>= i (length list)) answer)
(when (> (nth i list) answer)
(setf answer (nth i list))))))

if you could only use python functions:
defun(get-max-value, [list],
let(answer,first(list)),
do( (i,1,(1+ i)),
(>=(i, length(list)), ans),
when( >(nth(i,list),answer),
setf(answer,nth(i,list)))))

defun(get-max-value, [list], let(answer,first(list)), do( (i,1,(1+ i)), (>=(i, length(list)), ans), when( >(nth(i,list),answer), setf(answer,nth(i,list)))))
If the voice recognition were strictly client-side, I might actually be willing to try it. The advantages of a centralized service would appear to accrue largely to the centralizer.
The frontend team case in point didn't actually have any managers. That's complicated because what you're buying there is a group of people with already-set practices and that works well together - if you're not careful, you'll end up with a "silo" that just doesn't communicate with the rest of the company.

That kind of thing happens when a big company acquires a small startup, for instance (and it's the main reason I always see acquisitions/acquihires failing spectacularly) - again, all anedoctal...
The SOF individuals are some of the smartest entrepreneurial individuals you will meet. They are able to work together as a team because they build from what the OP has said.

Taking a simplified example to make further arguments is not fair. There can always be further counter-arguments. SOF will be deployed and then they adapt to problems with a clear goal.

If you told the team, develop plans for the stabilization of a government, they can do it.

I think at some point SF Conservancy feels they can poke Canonical with a legal stick, while doing the same with NVidia (a $5B company) could end up pretty costly and SF Conservancy being marginalized and criticized by the Linux community.
> The SFConservancy is just practicing GPL overreach here, and is rattling a saber in hopes that Oracle blinks.

Why would Oracle care? Oracle is not involved in OpenZFS and has closed source all of their changes for a while. The new code (which is a lot) is not owned by Oracle. It is owned by the individual contributors as OpenZFS is not doing copyright assignments.

> That may be true for the authors of ZFS

Who are the only ones who have a legal interest in the manner in which the CDDL-licensed code at issue is used.

The fact that other people issue code with a license with the same text has no bearing on anything.

> Saying that we should ignore the license text and treat the CDDL as compatible affects more than just the authors of the project we're talking about.

No one is saying that, the argument is that this is not legally a derived work of the GPL-licensed work, so that neither the GPL nor compatibility between the CDDL and the GPL is relevant. No one involved has argued that the CDDL is, or should be treated as, compatible with the GPL.

The CDDL-licensed code is being distributed under the CDDL alone, not the GPL. That's the whole reason some people on the GPL side are complaining. I can't even see what people on the CDDL side would have to complain about under any interpretation of copyright law or either license that anyone has publicly made ever.

It's important to note that these are the sort of people who directly profit from gun control: gangsters and politicians. To say nothing of law enforcement, the legal system, or prison systems. The Philippines (apparently where the weapons were to be trafficked from) is rife with arms manufacturing, both legitimate and black-market.

In addition to the Bionic short-comings already mentioned here, there appears to be other work to deal with the fact that things must be cross-compiled in a way that you can build a compiler for your host machine, but generate Android binaries (and for each architecture).

Also, there are also a bunch of support things for libICU which is not an official component on Android we are allowed.
Tangential, but the flawed "android rampant piracy" article made an appearance here again.

It's flawed because as an app developer, you don't have a way to tell if the app hitting your servers is legitimate or not. Just counting:

Is there a market that isn't being met with current copyright law? Because it seems to follow something like "People want X. If you make X illegal, people will still want X, only now it will be supplied by criminals."
Ah, I understand. Currently in C++ you cannot inspect class members or call methods without a class definition (i.e. the class header file). For the most part, the C++ standard doesn't really consider the object layout "in scope" so it's unlikely we'll see something like this standardized in the near future. This could change (maybe if/when reflection is added?) but nothing like it is being talked about AFAIK.
From a purely practical standpoint, it's easier to charge for the app and let Apple do the billing and payment processing, than to set up a system to handle recurring billing (and then you need to deal with cancelations, chargebacks, etc.). I've gone through this thought process for a few side projects, and unless I anticipate really large MRR, it's hard to convince myself to go through the hassle of setting up subscriptions.

Well StackMob shut down, and Bing Maps are getting more and more expensive... while it's not that difficult to replace a BaaS, it's another matter for map services. And it's going to get more expensive no question.

The time of the freebies for web-development is going to be over soon . I wouldn't trust any service, from Github to google API A or B, to remain free for ever. Especially Github which is moving to "enterprise" at a fast pace.
As for PaaS or Saas, given how many businesses closed last year, the remaining offers will certainly get more expensive and any free tier discarded.

But the initial issue is certainly the business model. If you can't even pay for hosting anymore, you need to raise prices. A one time buy wasn't going to cover all the author's expenses.

um, nope, not going to happen...

C++ did that in the 2000's, in that time there wasn't much news about standardization, because of this C++ was seen as legacy, people moved to other languages. The new languages such as Rust, Go etc. are also a result of this.

The C++ committee has now a process of ongoing standardization established, which will improve the language further, and make it easier and more efficient to write C++. Also, the standards are usually backward compatible for at least 2 standards. What gets removed is often obscure features like auto_ptr, random_shuffle etc. which are superseeded by better alternatives. Clang modernize can even get your code base automatically updated to a new standard.

I know, that some of you are left behind, as you are stuck with the traditional "almost never update the toolchain" model, but clang and other tools are such a leap forward, that this is not a model for the future anymore.

So, C++ ecosystem evolves to become better, and make you as a programmer more productive and lets you write easier and safer code.
Of course, but the point isn't really what happens before the first useful draft is available, it's how much more happens afterwards, and in particular, how much realistic scope there is for scrutiny and public opinion to be taken into account and the details amended before anything becomes law.
Using two GPUs for rendering (or rendering + compute) is a lot easier to do with DX12 and Vulkan - there are some benchmarks/game engines out there that can do AFR across paired GeForce and Radeon cards, for example, and it actually performs really well. So with Vulkan you could probably utilize both an Intel onboard GPU and a discrete GPU simultaneously. The question is how much leverage you can get out of that, but I bet people could come up with good uses (rasterizing font glyphs or doing some computational work, perhaps)
