The vast majority of people making money from stock compensation are at big companies that give generous RSU grants, so I'm not really sure how much of what you say is applicable.

I think people absolutely consider RSUs as a factor in compensation, albeit a slightly more complicated, less predictable amount of pay. But given that it can be over 100% of your total cash compensation... it seems crazy to say people don't 'count' it.

You should at least reference the fact that with MySQL, the server has to step through OFFSET result rows before it can start streaming you data. This can get surprisingly expensive, surprisingly quickly. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4481388/why-does-mysql-hi...
An improvement that should be quite straightforward and take you no more than a couple of hours is to use sampled sounds for recording the play.

It would massively improve the quality of the output and make it sound more "humane" IMO.

You can use the samples from www.freesound.org for instance.
Few C implementations of these applications use M:N threading. M:N threading was tried early on in Linux's history and was abandoned for a reason. It is not a requirement for implementing those applications; in fact, it'll always be suboptimal from a performance point of view, especially in low-level languages like Rust. (Note that I'm not saying it's not fast enough for most applications, or that it was the wrong choice for Go, just that it's not optimal.)

I think the right solution is something like async/await to make truly asynchronous programming palatable. But in the meantime, 1:1 threading is really not that bad on Linux, because the kernel is very optimized.

Offices certainly aren't obligated to provide food and in fact the majority don't.

Different companies offer different perks which appeal to different workers. If you don't like the perks of a particular company, it's not a "penalty"—just work elsewhere.

This is nonsense. Remember that they're talking about public companies here, and the stock grants aren't options but typically come in the form of restricted stock units.

Of course people treat RSU grants as pay. It's taxed like pay and otherwise acts exactly like pay except that it's tied to the stock price. For many people it's the majority of the pay or an otherwise substantial component of the compensation structure.
That hasn't been the case. In practice, mio is the standard for everything asynchronous in Rust.

Adopting Go's approach would force either asynchronous I/O or M:N threading on everyone, which is unacceptable for Rust's goals.

I was under the impression that Numpy also just calls BLAS underneath? Hence why doing element-wise calls in Numpy is far, far faster than simply doing nested for loops.

But I think this is the great strength of Python. It's a glue language. If you need speed, you can always write a wrapper around a C/C++ library.
If i do it, I just load up comments of that person and upvote any decent comment tgey have. Cancels it out.

On other issue, here's what typing BGP into Google gace me at the top: "Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a standardized exterior gateway protocol designed to exchange routing and reachability information among autonomous systems (AS) on the Internet. The protocol is often classified as a path vector protocol but is sometimes also classed as a distance-vector routing protocol."

Some things are hard to search for. Others, like BGP protocol, are so common you'll get it easily. Those can default on Google. Further, what use is a programmer going to be in robustly implementing the protocol if they can't figure that out? Hence the filter part. So, my position is more solid now that I Googled it.
So a feature that was described as half-ready 7 months ago is actually still undecided design-wise 7 months later? That's surprising. When do you think secondary index will be available?
I figured someone would say that. I want actual cross-device, not Signal's weird "link your phone up to your MacBook" solution. So not Signal as it presently stands.

Also (last time I checked; maybe it has improved) Signal's support for inline media within conversations was light years behind Telegram.

Don't get me wrong, I applaud Signal's focus on security, but its usability simply isn't there yet.
it's common for sophisticated car thieves going after luxury vehicles to use GPS/cell phone jammers. there are some products using proprietary technology not reliant on a GPRS/3G signal.

> Cloud CDN is Google’s own CDN solution for sites running in VMs inside Compute Engine. It is designed and implemented a bit differently from other CDNs, since it is meant to cache not only static content, but practically a whole site in more than 50 edge caches globally.

I'm not seeing what's so special here. Other CDNs can do whole-site acceleration and caching (Akamai Sureroute, EdgeCast ADN).

> It is a whole new take in the concept of CDNs, going way further than simply caching files, since it is directly integrated into their Load Balancing system and it literally means that a copy of your site will be running and serving from the closest location to your customers, with a single public IP address thanks to Anycast.

This makes it sound like Google is magically making your GCE instances run in each of their POPs. What if those instances need to share state? What happens when a page does 10 SQL queries to a server halfway around the world?

Yes I am, the C++ developer experience in Android Studio is a second class one, even when compared to xCode.

Since I also have Windows customers I have VS anyway on my hard disk. Microsoft is offering better support for Android development in C++ that Google seems capable of doing.

Android Studio is unable to make use of And and ndk-build like Visual Studio does, offers a crippled experience in terms of intellisense and debugging tools versus Visual Studio support for Android NDK development.

Also the Android team seems unable to make Gradle match 1:1 the ndk-build features. Still catching up, after deprecating Eclipse CDT + ndk-build almost 2 years ago.

Actually, chemistry and physics do quite well with nonprofit publishers. Compare the profit margins of for-profit publishers with non-profit ones like the American Chemical Society. In 2015, the ACS made a $10m profit on $500m gross revenue, a much smaller profit margin.

http://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/about/aboutacs/financial.h...

The smaller American Physical Society made <$100,000 on $53.5m gross revenue in 2015:

http://www.aps.org/about/governance/annual-reports/

So yes, it is possible to have high quality publications produced on much smaller margins. The question is whether it is possible to provide similar services for similar margins in a for-profit context. Given that for-profit companies, by definition, seek to extract the highest possible profits on what they do, one should really question whether it makes any sense for for-profit publishers to have the stranglehold they have on academic intellectual property.
I'm not the OP, but I'm not sure why they included MaxCDN and Fastly but not (at least) CloudFlare's free service.

Tobacco advertisement always is about kids/teenagers, because that's where you get new customers. Getting smokers to switch brands is harder and not really worth it.

Here in Germany tobacco advertisements for instance isn't banned yet (planned for 2020). I very often see Marlboro advertisement in public. They show good looking young people living the good life (as in at a concert, not something you can only reach with lots of money). The slogan is: Don't be a maybe, be marlboro paired with some sentence telling you that maybe is bad.

The response that fear of terrorism is rational can be analyzed two ways, a priori (with intuition based on "justified true beliefs") or a posteriori (empirically, with risk assessment). The size of the risk and other empirical evidence won't effect the opinion of someone using a priori justifications.

An a priori counter argument to supporting the consolidation of state power would be something like the following:

Terrorism is a specific type of crime designed to generate fear and disrupt society. Systemic responses disrupt society and generate fear and so is aligned with the goals of terrorists. Therefore, the only logical response is a targeted one which does not disrupt society or generate undue fear among non-terrorists.

SSH had been around for some five years or so before OpenSSH arrived. It slowly gained popularity on telnet/SSL and kerberized telnet because of the trivial small scale deployment, but also because it was a drop in replacement for rsh. Had it been fundamentally different it wouldn't have gone so easy, and I suspect the familiar language helped there.
Maybe it's not so good to have people who read more to vote with other people's money in a capitalistic market.

If a person is willing to sign up to unlimited just to read one authors books once a month, that means those books are that much more valuable.

For the person who reads a lot - if he wouldn't have gotten unlimited unless he got that much volume in reading material that means each of his views are worth less than the other guys.

Utility of page views are not equal.
I think some of that might start to come along with increase in compiler plugins, which is feature gated to nightly build right now.
That's definitely a misunderstanding on the author's part. I think our own landing page (https://cloud.google.com/cdn/) actually makes this clear: there are caches at the edge, but we (currently) deeply understand your origin (our compute engine VMs) and don't require any funny modification to your setup (just click a button) or look any different than your existing anycast IP for L7 Load Balancing.

Disclaimer: I work on Compute Engine, not this (so I only sort of know what I'm talking about).
The purpose is... <drumroll> informing the readers? Why should the media be prohibited to write about the media and, more importantly, who should do it if they can't?

And of course they'll be reporting from a certain perspective, which is probably going to assign a higher value to the Watergate leak than the ice bucket challenge. But it's unlikely to be a conspiracy - nicely exemplified bt the fact that the "real news" in this article would be Fox News. I doubt the NYT has a secrect pro-Murdoch agenda.
Well, OFAC seeks to regulate transactions with proscribed groups and individuals. Normal banking covers this in part with "know your customer" (KYC) rules and processes, but I guess Venmo decided it needs to cast a wider net. In this case, I wouldn't blame OFAC; they just got a suspicious activity report and now have to act on it.

Google Cloud CDN is 'just' a dynamic site accelerator (with nice GCP integration), like all other CDNs.

I think the author of this blog post is trying to simplify the explanation (or just doesn't understand). No 'copy' of your site is running on the closest location. GCE is not available in all POPs.

These results would look very different if EC ADN was included. And not including CloudFlare is a bit strange.

Both EC and CF run Anycast CDNs. This is still a really cool thing for Google to release because it's nice to have more competition in the space.

I've run some prelim tests on pure route latency from 90+ worldwide locations and GC-CDN (? :) is pretty evenly matched with CF/EC.

The real test would be end to end HTTP request latency and this is where GC-CDN would probably beat out CF (since you're on the Google net from POP to GCE DC, which is nice and fast, whereas CF talks to your origin over the public Internet). EC ADN is symmetric (POP to POP is on-net) so probably more comparable.
The Secret (a treasure hunt)
This is the bed you made, by hitching your wagon to ad revenue. I understand why you did it, it was oh so lucrative, and oh so easy. When you were the gate keepers of news and the primary communications conduit for an entire community you could rake in mountains of cash with very little work. Just rewrite those wire reports; zombie through the motions of reporting local weather, crime, and bullshit; and keep on publishing family circus and cathy strips. The crux of it is that you thought that was noble, that you think it was any different from what buzzfeed does today.

The fall has always been happening, and it didn't start from such a great height either.

The fact is that the news has long been about gathering eyeballs, not about generating quality content. In fact in so much as that happened, it happened by accident or happenstance. Indeed even buzzfeeed does some good work. The difference between you and they is you define yourself by your good work, while you define them by their bad work. And when eyeballs are the measure of success and of revenue, you do whatever is cheapest that gets the most views. Remember the OJ Simpson trial? Remember the news industry descending into tabloid journalism even more so over the past 2 decades? Remember "it bleeds it leads" and disaster-porn?

For the most part the media establishment has become a parody of what a robust media should be. It doesn't do investigative journalism well (usually issues have to be forced down their throats by an already knowledgeable public before they are covered). It doesn't educate the public well on almost any subject (and in some cases, as in Fox News, it demonstrably makes people less well informed). It has a ghoulish relationship with tragedy and disaster (as the movie Nightcrawler so well portrayed). And due to its success it no longer represents the interests of the majority of the public, instead siding with establishment or elite interests most of the time.

You can't merely erect some arbitrary barrier and say that journalism should stick to some particular frozen moment in time as it slides along the same trajectory its been on for ages. You need to get out and build a new trajectory by establishing new standards and developing new revenue streams that reward high quality content instead of low effort content. It's actually already happening without you, but you're too blind to see it. And the answer is not to dumb down hard hitting investigative journalism and add fancy infographics. How do I know? Because that's been what you've been doing for decades and it hasn't worked yet has it?
How to Disable Git from Xcode and Command Line Tools
Because that name is too verbose for regular use. People would hate it and make their own ad hoc nicknames for it not to have to type eol_flush:

// ef -> std::eol_flush
template class <typename X, typename Y> basic_ostream<X, Y> &ef(basic_ostream <X, Y> &os)
{
return std::eol_flush(&os);
}

A four-letter name could have been found with better mnemonic value covering the full semantics. We can look toward assembly languages for inspiration: they pack a lot into one, two, three or four letters. For instance std::nlfl (add NewLine and FLush).

It's been years since I used C++ iostreams. I totally forgot that endl also flushes. When I saw this submission, my reaction was: what is this fuss about. Then "oh, right! That endl manipulator flushes, even on a fully buffered stream!". The name didn't remind me of this at all; but "nlfl" would almost certainly have served that purpose.
Not if you want to diversify. If your job is the source of your cash income and is also the primary source of equity, that's a problem, because if the employer has a downturn, you lose twice.

It's generally bad if your cash income is highly correlated to your equity value. Claiming that stock compensation aligns employees with the company is just nonsense. You want to hire smart people, right? Well, smart people will want their income diversified.
Lovely obit - like the best doctors, the best mentors address every aspect of your life: not just your work business, but also your family 'business' and your spiritual well-being.

We read a lot recently about the achievements of Andy Grove and Bill Campbell (both champions of Ben), but the key is that every one of us can mentor and help anyone else. The key is listening and empathizing, taking time and accepting. You don't need to operate a VC fund to do it, you just can be a nice human being who listens, understands and feels.

Or the third paragraph of TFA, which states that he was living in Turkey at the age of 9.
Question: How do cdns serve/shard data ? Meaning, in a pop, there are say 100 nodes, and all of them cache some data, say by hashing the path /ayb.jpg.

Does the loadbalancer (say, haproxy) know which node should-have the file cached ? Or there is random loadbalancing and each node get's the data from the other nodes (using the same hash)? Just like openstack-swift (there are proxy that serve http-requests, and data nodes that have files).
How I'm understanding is that these things happen at different times.

1. Business operates for X days (1 quarter, 1 year, whatever)

2. Business calculates it's profit (revenue - expenses)

3. Business now has a choice on what to do with it's profit.

At t = 3, the profit is not an expense, though it will ultimately be used to benefit the company/cause (if it's a nonprofit).

nonprofit organizations must decide what to do with profit, if they have generated more revenue than they have expenses. The difference between a nonprofit organization (from another org) is that the profit must go either back into the company, or into the cause. Arguably, the money that goes back into the company goes into the cause anyway, as it is in service of the cause.

Maybe it's just a matter of semantics, I could see it being incorrect to call something "profit" that is never allowed to be spent on anything other than the company/cause. However, the strict definition of profit is pretty bare-bones, simply revenue - expenses, so I think it qualifies.
If you're in a making mood, you could DIY something with a Particle Electron 3G for $3/month. 1MB of data ought to be enough for typical idling, and an extra $0.99/MB is pocket change if you need more data to recover the car once it's stolen.

No GPS built in, so you could either add a GPS module or hope that cellular/wifi triangulation is good enough resolution.

I agree this feels like something that should be available off-the-shelf at a reasonable price by now.
