"Many police officers maintain that the most realistic police show in the history of television was the sitcom 'Barney Miller,' far more so than that father of reality TV, 'Cops.' The action was mostly off screen, the squad room the only set, and the guys were a motley bunch of character actors who were in no danger of being picked for the N.Y.P.D. pin-up calendar. But they worked hard, made jokes, got hurt and answered to their straight-man commander."

Not really. Just having a depth camera doesn't help with content creation. You need a lot of other pipelines to work.

For me the most realistic scene, one that only people in the field would understand, is when they made the "box". The lead up from hating the assignment to not being able to do shit work really hit home. I've probably had had a few projects that i hated but spent more time then needed. To either make it work faster or modulerized it even though it was probably never going to be updated, just to keep my interest or to learn something.

I think Prof Louis Appleby went to talk held at Twitter today. Was anyone there? Was it good?
Exposing async I/O is largely a trivial hack, if the filesystem is already asynchronous under the hood, allowing I/O to proceed in parallel with computation. It's mostly about separating the request placement for I/O from being notified about completion or optionally waiting. The wherewithal to cob together this sort of mousetrap was in the Linux kernel since the early dawn, pretty much.

1990 POSIX didn't have aio_read and all that; it came later. A lot of this stuff was being standardized in parallel with the progress being made in Linux. According to the 1997 Single Unix Spec (Issue 2), the aio stuff came from the 1993 real-time extensions to POSIX. [http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/aio_read....] "Derived from the POSIX Realtime Extension (1003.1b-1993/1003.1i-1995)". This was bleeding edge POSIX in the mid 1990's, and didn't exist when Torvalds started.

The performance optimization requirements of large databases aren't the be-all and end-all of "non-toyness", anyway.

The Linux people were decent at optimizing for the cases that their user base cared about. E.g. Linux exploded as a web server OS all over the world, so there was a lot of focus on decent networking, and tricks like serving a static file right out of the kernel and whatnot.

I stopped after the first episode. It match ZERO percent of any of my silicon valley experience. Have never seen a backyard party with famous band. Have never seen a famous band with "nerds" not watching. Have never been to an SV party where hot women stand around looking to pick up rich SV men.

Maybe it gets better but I didn't give it the chance.

> In Cryptonote/Monero, it's hidden amongst a far smaller fraction of that set.

Just wanted to point out that it's not that simple - what you are referring to is more like coinjoin level of anonymity. In Monero / Cryptonote, since one-time keys are used for each transaction, when you receive coins, they are in fact hidden among the entire set (which is the same anonymity level as Zerocash). The received coins can then be used as non-signers in "many" ring sigs, and so they have been possibly spent at any time for the remainder of the blockchain - the anonymity set for when a coin is spent is therefore "all" the ring sigs it is a member of, and since they remain on the blockchain indefinitely, this can therefore grow infinitely large.

Edit: I mean, it's fine to downvote, but at least providing a comment is helpful if you disagree.

However, Elm is still making breaking changes on the language level [1]. To bet on a language like that right now is tough for a larger company.

Also, we're not dropping everything and rewriting it all from the ground up. I'm not sure that Elm has a good story for incremental migrations yet, where React has an excellent one.

Tending my Internet archive
and in the meantime the libertarians took over, and they do not give a damn about right or wrong. They are here to make money.

What a load of bullshit. First of all, libertarians have hardly "taken over" anything. If anything, the SV scene (as seen from the outside anyway) seems markedly less libertarian now than it did 15 years ago. Back when Slashdot was full of techno-libertarian types, cyberpunks and crypto-anarchists were spending gobs of time planning how to use technology to enable the stateless society, and rich libertarian leaning folks like John Gilmore were suing the government over the right to travel without showing ID... back then, the SV technologist scene felt very libertarian indeed. Now, if anything, it seems that the progressives have taken over. You still hear a little chatter about Internet freedom and the need for strong crypto, and there is the crypto-currency crowd who have actually gotten somewhere... but by and large, the rhetoric you hear out of SV seems to have skewed in a distinctively statist direction the past decade or two.

Heck, just go back through the archives here at HN and compare the talk back at the beginning, to the talk now... you can't help but be struck by the profound shift that's occurred. Now it's commonplace for people to criticize capitalism, denigrate the value of hard work (after all, all success is just "luck"), promote more active government involvement in markets, etc. Heck, I guess you'd almost be hard pressed to find a libertarian on here anymore... or maybe most of us just don't bother saying anything because we know we'll get shouted down (and/or downvoted to oblivion) by the statists.

Beyond that, the essence of libertarianism is absolutely to care about "right and wrong", as expressed by the Zero Aggression Principle. And libertarianism itself doesn't say anything about making money... there are plenty of "hippie libertarians" who don't give a shit about making money. IOW, just because somebody is a Capitalist or is concerned with making money, doesn't automatically mean they are a "libertarian."

Maybe the other recent negative stories about Appelbaum are true. Or maybe they are created by GCHQ. Prior to the above being made publicly known, I would have just assumed the former. But now, how can we be sure?

Depends on your point of view. In the point of view of a paedophile, sterilisation might not seem like a fix, society itself thinks different.

I thought so, too, but then did decided to not call them that, because I imagine that many of them are just not "into market economy" (you get money in exchange for providing value). They see a gap in the law and try to take it from "the big guys", who have it anyway. There are many other groups of people, who think that they are somehow entitled to get money they did not provide value for.

Best part:

“Some Valley big shots have no idea how to react to the show,” Miller told me. “They can’t decide whether to be offended or flattered. And they’re mystified by the fact that actors have a kind of celebrity that they will never have—there’s no rhyme or reason to it, but that’s the way it is, and it kills them.” Miller met Musk at the after-party in Redwood City. “I think he was thrown by the fact that I wasn’t being sycophantic—which I couldn’t be, because I didn’t realize who he was at the time. He said, ‘I have some advice for your show,’ and I went, ‘No thanks, we don’t need any advice,’ which threw him even more. And then, while we’re talking, some woman comes up and says ‘Can I have a picture?’ and he starts to pose—it was kinda sad, honestly—and instead she hands the camera to him and starts to pose with me. It was, like, Sorry, dude, I know you’re a big deal—and, in his case, he actually is a big deal—but I’m the guy from ‘Yogi Bear 3-D,’ and apparently that’s who she wants a picture with.”
Silicon Valley is so realistic that I stopped watching a few episodes into the first season. I was going through a rough and very stressful time at work, and the show was reminding me too much of that rather than being an escape (as I usually want TV to be).

Thankfully I'm in a better place professionally now, and I recently came back to the show. Now I enjoy it a lot, even though it can hit very close to home.

I'm starting to think Thiel is one of those people who falls into a category that doesn't really have a good name, but has a vague resemblance to "libertarian" and so people call him a libertarian. At the very least, I am doubtful that he's a principled libertarian who subscribes to the NAP.

Absolutely. I don't like movies or TV 99% of the time. Especially comedy shows with vulgarity and goofy humor, not my thing at all.
But the accuracy and relatability of Silicon Valley make it very enjoyable and funny for me. Every episode has a couple things that hit home.

First, I should say I am sorry to hear he has passed away. Without a doubt he played a big role in growing SV.

I recall the incident below, and I'd like to reflect on it (in positive light, I refuse to speak ill of the dead).

"...he compared the “progressive war on the 1 percent” to the persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany."

There is without a doubt a problem with the growing divide. But still, the wealthy are humans too, many who have struggled to obtain their position. Many wealthy people are trying to fix the problem of the divide. A growing problem I see is desire to persecute the wealthy, or lump them all into one "evil" class. That is really throwing the baby out with the bathwater, because I think the majority of wealthy people are honest and trying to do good, as opposed to the few dishonest and corrupt individuals among them.

Edit: A lot of people will see the comparison to Jews as ridiculous, but IMO it is not entirely far-fetched. The Jews were an easy target for persecution because they were successful when most others were not (which many attribute to the Jewish work ethic). See: http://writing.uncc.edu/student-writing/nazi-propaganda-effe...

Obviously, I don't think his comparison was referencing genocide, but instead the growing attitude that hates success rather than celebrates it.

How is AirBnB or Uber just CRUD applications? Seems to me there's a lot more than that involved in launching a nationwide rental or taxi service with a two-sided market. You have to solve regulatory issues (or ignore them strategically), routing and pricing algorithms, user trust issues, etc.

These two businesses in particular highlight that it's a lot harder than you think, otherwise the market would be saturated with clones.

Although they could potentially throw in a sequence designed to show that aspect. 2-3 minutes of silence with a stationary camera showing a motionless programmer at their computer, frowning slightly. Eventually they break the silence by swearing.

Mind you, you could probably only do that once in the entire run of the show. As you alluded to, the reality of working through difficult problems would not make for good TV.

"proper" is not really the word.
