Right. Companies are extremely risk-averse because they can afford to be. The talent shortage in tech is totally overblown.
Here is an example of a contemporary demo on the Atari 8-bits:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_YsoR11d8

You might notice that some scenes show more colors onscreen than contemporaries like the C64 - this is all because of the display list interrupt techniques Crawford talks about, combined with clever overlaying of the player/missile sprite system. (The weird term for these hardware sprites is because it's built on the legacy of the 2600's system, which itself was built around the needs of the pack-in games: two players, two projectiles, one ball.)

The A8 series was limited in lifespan in the USA for a number of reasons: poor documentation, platform fragmentation, and price competition. It shipped with very little documentation on how it worked, leaving developers starved for resources for several years(Chris Crawford himself contributed to the unofficial bible, "De Re Atari"). There were the original 8k-upgradeable-to-48k 400/800 models and the newer XL/XE models, which shipped with 64k standard, and additionally, a change partway through the 400 and 800's life to an upgraded graphics chip; although most old software would run on the new machines, the C64 was more straightforward to target and to program, and it led the way in price-cutting the home computer market, which gave it a huge lead in market share. The later life of the A8 was entirely in European markets.

In terms of what the two machines can do when pushed to the limit, though, there's plenty of room for comparison.

Not sure why you are being downvoted, you present a valid point.

The trouble is that with mechanical parts it is usually very easy to see connections between elements - not so in digital world. I think the direction the car makers should take is to develop "microservices" with strict APIs, strict access lists and a guardian which double-checks if some requested operation really makes sense. That way if you root a media center you can't mess with the engine from there.

EDIT: I see from other comments that Tesla apparently does something similar. Too bad it's not standardized and open, but at least approach is right...

> Pretty much anything you'd like to do with CouchDB or MongoDB

Wekan is a Trello clone that uses MongoDB for storage. On Sandstorm, each board lives in a grain, so there ends up being one MongoDB per board. This works fine. The only thing stand-alone Wekan ever did that queried multiple boards at once is display the user's list of all boards. On Sandstorm, displaying the user's grain list is Sandstorm's job, not Wekan's -- and indeed, usually the user is more interested in seeing the list of all their grains rather than just the Wekan boards, so delegating this to Sandstorm is a UX win.

If that is not the kind of example you have in mind, then you really need to give a specific example.
That's a bit of a reductio ad absurdum. Same-day Prime service is a bit of a luxury now, but so was internet access twenty years ago. Widespread internet access has had many positive economic effects in poor communities. Better Prime access may do to the same, as the article says, by increasing the range of available goods and reducing their prices - both positive effects in poor communities.

> But how common is your scenario ?

Anecdotally, the 3 truckers i've known have complained about it. I now drive very carefully around trucks.

Swerving at the last minute is a non-option because it means turning sharply, which jackknifes the truck. Turning while braking is worse because turning while either braking or accelerating compromises steering. You can try to brake until the last moment and then take off the brakes and try to turn, but again possible jackknife, the wheels could have locked up to the brakes, and now that you're traveling slower you will actually turn slower, so it's harder to cut the wheel and go around. All of this within a few seconds.

You have to either try to slow down and blow the horn, or get out of the way and blow the horn. Some people are lucky and either swerve away from the truck at the last moment, or their car only gets marginally crunched.

One hacker friend of mine's car actually got thrown nearly into the opposite lane of traffic on the highway with the same scenario. Recovery took a while. I think he's still got pain and limited mobility.
We live under laws on sexual assault that, in large part, were not written with women’s interests in mind. [...] The legal verdict on whether sex is nonconsensual still often rests on the perspective of the alleged perpetrator rather than the experience of the victim.

It would be contrary to the principles of fundamental justice to imprison someone who has done nothing wrong. If the alleged perpetrator of an offence has taken all reasonable steps to ascertain consent (and believes that consent exists) then any lack of consent is a tragic mistake, not a criminal offence.

As far as I can see, this was written with everybody's interests in mind.
Yeah, I know. That's why I'm still sympathetic to the view. I would hope that we could still have the tribunals but treat their findings for what they are: the non-professional opinions of a few administrators, based mostly on informal testimony, hearsay, and perhaps a poorly-executed investigation.

But, perhaps there is no way to accomplish that in a way palatable to most people attending a school. Maybe people are just going to take the obvious shortcut and say "this school admitted a rapist" instead of what actually happened.

If we can't work that out, then maybe these tribunals shouldn't exist. I'm just saying I'm not opposed to them in principle.
Hmm. Amazon puts a few pennies extra onto my items, and poor communities get access to a service that's much cheaper than shopping at a convenience store? Freeing up their capital to spend elsewhere in the economy, like on products and services my company offers?

I guess it's also training. We have many positive experiences of the "risk" of ordering pizza has turned out well. The number of experiences we have had to psotively reinforce app purchase positive experience is likely two orders of magnitude smaller.
I'm not saying it's rare or unusual. Just that it's on the short list of what people own. People here aren't big consumers. Not the typical household like in the US where people have houses overflowing with crap (and much of that crap being things you can't even get in the Philippines.)
In the case of sex, it is an action that is legal(or not) depending on consent.

In the example I gave earlier, the female has obtained consent from her partner. The male changes his mind half-way through but does not stop or act in any different way.

In cases such as these, my understanding(and gut feeling really) is that since knowledge of consent is what makes an action legal, the person had no knowledge consent was revoked, and cannot be charged for something that is impossible to avoid being guilty of?
Its a huge hassle, and I don't want to have to keep fighting the battle against this policy. So I'll just rather switch.

I actually turned off the TV and finished the entire article. Its amazing to think how rare it is for me to actually read an article and not just SKIM. Maybe its not that amazing.

Can't tell if you are suggesting this satirically but https://haveibeenpwned.com is a thing.
If you are using your own DNS cache listening on a loopback interface, then the risks of "DNS cache poisoning" are not what they are when you use a third party cache like your ISP's, OpenDNS, Google or the ones in the CSV file at the github page referenced in this blog entry.

Unless you are sharing your loopback with the network somehow, one could argue that with a localhost cache the risk is nonexistent.

According to this blog entry the reason for using DNSSEC is to "prevent DNS posioning".

If that is true, and that is what I would expect, and we've minimized the risk of cache poisoning by using a localhost cache exlcusively (no third party caches), then why use DNSSEC?

If there are other reasons, like making centralized control (censorship?) of DNS easier for ICANN, etc., then this blog post has omitted them. Does that imply they are insignificant?
>This marks quite a change in attitude where the end user is suddenly responsible for staying on top of newly silently introduced opt-out settings. I'm pretty disappointed and feel the amount of trust I've had in the maintainers have dropped considerably.

I agree with you. I'd much rather have this be out in the open - like, ever 5th time I run 'brew' or something, it asks me for permission to send analytics, and the options are "YES-once, YES-Always, NO-NEVER", and if I say NO, NEVER, it never asks me again.

If spying on me can be automated, so can not spying on me.
Competitions for "best score" (where score is a time, a number, etc) fall into a different category of sport than those where competitors are facing off head-to-head and there is interaction between competitors. And among the "best score" competitions, those which there is little variance in outcomes will result in a much higher win rate of "best" versus "second best" (a powerlifter or sprinter's score may only vary a few % between good and bad days. a bowlers' or golfers' can be much higher).

Doesn't it have its own global config? I confess that I'm too miffed by this intrusion in my privacy to be bothered to find out ..
Those situations are more edge cases and they are quite difficult because knowing what we know about the mind, it can play tricks. For example, we may feel very happy at one moment, but something could transpire to change the feeling and that may cause us to retroactively view the initial consent (maybe they thought the person was initially someone else) in a different light --but at the same time, most people give the benefit of the doubt internally (that is, even if they are truly aggrieved, they are likely to interpret the violation as their own fault, rather than blame the perp) It can become murky.

To make the point less gender political, view this as something which happens to a same-sex couple, so that the dynamics are less obvious about sexual politics and more about either force, misinterpretation, misrepresentation or confusion or a mixture of all the above.

Rate of adoption of said technology broken down by certain sectors (individuals, businesses, governments) is one way. Number of scientific research papers published by industry leaders is another.

I have had a taste of that, and oh my god I would never go back. The life that scared the shit out of 23-year-old me is way better than any company could ever offer. I work to live, and I would never go back to this "work as life" living ever again.
Courts start from presumption of innocence. Which is something that is not compatible with the "victim's story should not be questioned or challenged" approach that some advocates like.
one simple option might be to just use sha256 sums on files. if done incrementally, it's not that expensive computationally, unless files are very large (couple of gb's).

one way to mitigate that might be take a _few_ random, say, 1k chunks of file content, and hash those. as long as you have a map of (offset, hash) de-duping should be just fine.

the only thing is, i don't really know, what an upper bound on 'few samples' would be like. asymptotically, it should approach file-size/chunk-size, but ideally, it should be way less than that.

any ideas on how to determine a minimal but complete set ?

This is a very single-user-centric view. Some of us have Macs with many hundreds of users.

And so .. It is too invasive of my .bashrc/.profile that I have to use it to disable spy activity. I'd rather brew just have its own flag somewhere that says "Don't ever send analytics, ever, for any user on this system.."

That's not the argument, I'm not sure how you got that from the article. In fact, all it is doing is criticising verdicts that clear perpetrators of rape if they think or say that they thought the other party was consenting.

In this regard, though the article doesn't actually say this, I think it's fairly logical that if the one making the claim they were raped wasn't consenting. Thus in all claims of rape there was one party who wasn't consenting to have sex, ergo there is no "two consenting adults"!

Let me put it this way: your own statement is that "Consensual by definitions (sic) means both parties agreed". If you agree this is the correct definition, then if the victim did not agree, even though the other party claims they did, then that isn't consensus.

Your idea is not about consensual sex - your idea is that consensus was percieved by one party, when in fact it wasn't. And again, that's not consensus because actual consensus to have sex needs to made by both parties in the act.
It's interesting to me that my friends and I who grew up in SV and lived through the .com boom as adolescents and had parents who worked during the .com and PC/networking/semiconductor booms are largely skeptical and at times even dismissive of the latest incarnation of SV culture.

Perhaps it's hubris ("the old version --my version-- was better"), perhaps it's cynicism (seeing family/friends be burned in the last booms), or perhaps it's a feeling of betrayal ("I grew up wanting to be part of a culture that has morphed -- in my opinion for the worse").

Maybe it's something else. Though my sample size is small, I find this contrast interesting.

Perhaps it's just a numbers thing where newcomers predominantly buy into the current myth and want to live the current version of startup life, whereas the old timers have not self selected in that manner and this represent a wider spectrum.
> To make the point less gender political, view this as something which happens to a same-sex couple, so that the dynamics are less obvious about sexual politics and more about either force, misinterpretation, or confusion or a mixture of all the above.

I like your suggestion about viewing this as same-sex couple situation. I wrote my post specifically gender-neutral so as to prepare for the inevitable accusation of sexism, and then reveal that in my example the female was the perpetrator. But I think your opinion is much better
Totally agree, but I think haggling and anchoring have been around for a very long time, at least as long as markets. I don't see them going away any time soon.
The purpose of internal disciplinary systems is to have a weaker burden of proof.

Meeting "beyond a reasonable doubt" is very difficult when the victim and perpetrator are in something resembling a romantic relationship and behind closed doors, to the point that almost no rapists would be found guilty.

Schools instead use the standard of "more likely than not" to return a finding of "responsible," which means the school can get rid of the rapist, even if there's not enough evidence to put him in prison. Lower certainty required for a less drastic action.

If only cases that DAs think are winners get acted on, the vast majority of campus rapes are immune from punishment.
>These tribunals are too often full of shit. There are a few horror stories going around and you've probably read a few. Some places I think are not requiring a high enough burden of proof. The regulations and standards at the federal and state levels ought to be improved, and in light of the fact that sexual violence on campuses is on the decline, the improvements should result in fewer students being expelled, not more.

Part of the problem is that the Obama administration has been issuing new "legal interpretations" (i.e. making up new laws) that require colleges to apply a preponderance standard to sexual assault proceedings, based on a very contorted reading of Title IX, which requires equal treatment of genders by universities receiving federal funds. "Preponderance of the evidence" means that whoever is more likely to be right wins, even if its 51-49. So in a "he said, she said" situation you have to convict if the accuser's story is even a bit more plausible. Additionally, accused are denied the right to have counsel, to confront their accusers, to remain silent. Such rules are particularly egregious when you realize that the contents of the proceedings could prejudice the result of a subsequent criminal trial.

A suggestion from someone who uses a similar system: get rid of yellow flags, and simply move those emails to whatever archive folder the "completed" emails would go to. A task where you're waiting for input from someone else is a task for that someone else, not for you. As such, it has no place in your inbox.

All in all, using inbox as a TODO list has been a great arrangement for me - both at work and privately.

By that do you mean "pretty mediocre" or "pretty good"?
Yes, because what we really need right now is the courts bogged down deciding whether Johnny Fratboy cribbed a few too many quotes without properly citing them.
The problem is not the investigation it is the conviction. Schools should investigate, but they should pass on their finding to the relevant authorities and not try to replicate the court system with people who don’t know what they are doing.
This is interesting, as I sometimes do this. I don't like just writing an email requesting something and flinging it off to someone without talking to them in person.

Amazon and moving to a new city
Right, as you might expect, programming salaries would be all over the map. Somebody rock solid could get up to $2K and probably more. For many others, there isn't a floor and not much in expectations. You could land someone to be an "ass in seat" for whatever you could get way with in negotiating. The difference might be that the guy making $2K might be creating more than that in value while the others might just be costing you.

I had a buddy who was trying to build a start-up here running on the .Net stack. He was willing to pay $2K for the right person, but couldn't find anyone. The devs he did find he was paying around $1K for and he ended up letting them go through turnover and not replacing them (something would always come up where they would shoot themselves in the foot or just had to quit for whatever reason).

Blue collar labor jobs which may pay decent in the U.S. don't pay anything here. People expect labor and services to be super cheap.

All anecdotal though.
