Apple will _not_ remove the existing filesystems, and neither will they automatically migrate an existing HFS volume to APFS without first asking, especially not during an OS update. There are many filesystems in the kernel, and compared to DTrace probes, they are very minimally invasive. Adding DTrace probes means touching all kinds of places in the kernel, so it's definitely more invasive.
> built for people, rather than cars

I wish people would stop with this drivel.

There are PEOPLE in the cars. The cities are built for people.

A car is a human amplifier - it takes human transportation and carrying ability and amplifies it. A lot of people find this amplification very very useful (parents with children, elderly, people who buy in bulk, etc, etc).

Taking it away would be like removing computers because they are too fast so we should all do things by paper again.
Really? So were all of these companies funded by VCs that are based in Stockholm? Or were they funded by VCs in the US and the UK?
Sounds like the case. I'm guessing it was on an expanding virtual machine disk image, in which case the problem is user error rather than Windows.
I like the piece, but I liked the Marc Andreessen piece linked from the article even better. That's a classic.
Being a context dependent term is what makes questions like these from the government a big problem. Its like Nineteen Eighty-Four where "we have always been at war with EastAsia", only now the changing term is what constitutes a terrorist, or some other group the government has decided to not like
I feel that may be a little unfair. Maybe he comes from that subject, maybe that seemed like the best word to describe his effort?

I don't have the feeling that this is a corporation trying to bamboozle us with marketspeak.
They wanted independence from Westminster, not from the EU.
I'm rather dismal on the ability for city planning to positively affect communities - or to even work as planned in the first place. Look at the original grid plan for Philadelphia to see what I mean.

I think the "know your neighbors" problem is a lot bigger than city planning. It has a lot to do with our society itself. For example, it is assumed in America that one must eventually own their own home to achieve the "American Dream." The implication is that if one just has a house, a car, and a job that pays well, that person doesn't even need other people. They can get all their entertainment from the Internet and all of their food and other goods delivered. It is an efficient system, but it lacks heart. A change in city design will only scratch the surface of the isolating world we live in.
WebRTC at Airtime
That would be pretty awesome and is very doable today. Good idea! You wouldn't even need roads really just stations everywhere to get on some sort of train type of vehicle that you can hop on and get to any part of the city. Hell make them smaller and more frequent and when you get in you put where you want to stop so it can skip stops, etc.
The linked TOC is long and I've only skimmed it, but I wouldn't call Erlang a data parallel language per se. When I hear "data parallel" I'm thinking of a language with abstract data types (ADTs) for lists, and maybe sets, bags, and dictionaries too. There are also language intrinsics like join, map, etc. that can and will automatically be optimized and will "lift" computations into a parallel or distributed context for you. There are various minimal sets of core datatypes and intrinsics that a language can provide to achieve this.

The closest thing that most programmers are familiar with is a relational database. Imagine a language that treats certain data structures like an RDBMS treats a table and does the sort of optimizations that a query optimizer does when you run an intrinsic (either statically at compile time or dynamically at runtime). That's data parallelism.

Erlang has facilities to make this sort of thing possible, but last I looked it doesn't do it for you.

If anyone who's actually an expert wants to step in and correct my assumptions please do so!
What Docker really is
> environments

I live about three minutes away from a large park near the center of a large city. It's a great place to walk around.

When I lived in American suburbia, it was nothing but houses unless you drove a few miles down a main road.
For me cities with great public transportation are key.
New York still has a lot of cars, but the subway system is quite extensive. Portland, OR has one of the best bus systems I have seen. I wish they had more light rails than they do. When I was last there they were just completing the second one.

Paris has a great subway system that is very clean, and their roads are very walk able.

Montreal and Toronto have great systems.

I think a cities climate is always important to consider. If you want to have bike paths, but you get a ton of snow in the winter, how do you deal with that? At my university up in Rochester NY we had tunnels under ground connecting the buildings. This helped a lot with the brutal winters.
Makes me think of something I say occasionally... you need a problem so compelling that customers will pay for a buggy, incomplete solution, because a buggy, incomplete solution is what you're building.
I tried it circa 2007 with Sharepoint and it was a pain in the * to use the web components/AJAX. It was the first time I used Sharepoint for development so take it with a grain of salt.

Could you please point me to some modern demo?
One more speed vs. rankings factor is the geolocation of the host vis-a-vis that of the traffic/visitors.

A recent case in point:

Late last month, I was commissioned to speed up a (WordPress) site that has predominantly Indian traffic. (Banking jobs)

The site was hosted at some GoDaddy shared server in the US. I recommended migrating it to Digital Ocean. Their data center closest to India at that point was Singapore and I setup a droplet with LEMP etc. and migrated the site there.

Within a few days, the daily page view count jumped from a long-term average of ~15,000 to 17,000. Then, in the 2nd week of this month, they activated a data center in Bangalore (India) and I immediately migrated the site there.

Since then, the traffic has been rising steadily and today, it has crossed a new high of 25,000 page views. No other changes made to the site (no SEO work either) other than the two successive migrations, and the traffic grew from 15k PVs to 25k PVs!!

I attribute most of this to a general ranking boost owing to the change in the geolocation of the host.
Does anyone know if the changes planned to project.json are included in this?
AlterCam 3.7 Crack Build 401 Full Key Download
You can turn it off via group policy if you have windows enterprise. If you just want to complain that the cheaper version doesn't have the feature you want, and you don't want to pay the higher price for the version that does have it, that's your right, but I don't have much sympathy for that.
To what extent is sustained exponential growth a sign of product market fit? And do you view it as binary?

Also what are your thoughts about the long term viability of this approach to building companies? As someone with a bit of a machine learning background I see this whole model as "greedy hill climbing" aka "gradient descent." That will work until we fill in all the micro-niches at the current macro fitness peak. Then these kinds of "lean startup" style fit-and-explode market opportunities will become depleted.
It might be a language issue. In Portuguese "polivalente" is a very common word meaning something has many functions. Nobody thinks of chemistry upon hearing it.
They might also be trying to win on library/framework lock-in, rather than OS lock-in.
You're giving them a lot of credit. Would anyone be surprised at this point if that was just the date where the malware evolves into ransomware? How easy it would be for MS to automatically "upgrade" people to Windows 10 but then lock them out of their system until they buy a verified key.
Sure, they wanted a safe language. What they actually did, they created a language where data is a second-class citizen.

The strategy “find a safe abstraction boundary for you low level data structure, and stick to it” works well for a scripting language. Or for high-level code that’s not performance-critical, like business logic.

It doesn’t work well for a general-purpose language that’s used for algorithms-heavy performance critical tasks.

There’s no “low level data structures”, because data structures are all the way down, and composed all the way down. Very often I need unsafe things at my API boundaries, because performance or because interop. I can’t implement my data structures once and stick to them, because as I work on the project I change both code and data structures (the main input here is profiler).

That safety thing makes data structures impractical. As you see from my linked list example, they are hard to create, use, and compose.

BTW, graphs (including trees and lists) are just one example how pointers are useful in data structures. Here’s another one.

In C++, I can add an index to a collection using unordered_map<tKey, Value*>. This index allows constant-time lookups, and if the tKey is something small like an int, the RAM cost is very low, because only keys + pointers are stored in the hash map, not the values themselves.

If I’ll want to do same in Rust, I suppose you’ll tell me I need to copy-paste the collection source code and add index there, because what’s in stdlib ain’t composable the way I want :-)
If that's what you want and you don't mind shit weather, move to Ithaca, NY. I saw what the Valley had to offer when I worked at Apple and came away with the same grumblings you mention.

Upstate New York in general is a great place for the kind of living you describe. For not much money you could buy - or even better build - a home in the middle of nowhere with a 30 minute drive into town with very light traffic most times of the day. Like you say, everything you need is relatively close, and Amazon Prime still delivers in 2 days.

You just have to put up with the weather.
Heh. Whatever capability it is that would be required, this would be the netbook that didn't have it. It's not a high quality machine.

We/she keep buying cheapos for her... we're to the point now where I would have been better off buying a Real Machine up in the ~$400 price point instead, which would probably have outlasted any three of the cheapos by now. I really ought to have known better. Ah well, live and learn, learn, learn again.
This is a fantastic idea, I would expect no less from YC.
A couple of thoughts I have off the top of my head:

1. Design with hyper-loop in mind from day one.

2. Easy access right of way for utilities, most cities bury everything which is silly, there should be an easily accessed common right of way so that fiber, water sewer etc. can be easily accessed for upgrades or repair without having to dig up the streets.

3. Consider driverless cars only, and electric only. Include bicycle or non-car personal vehicle pass ways that are safe.

4. Plan for green spaces with point source food production in mind.

5. Design in space for point source energy production, solar etc.

Most of these are pretty obvious. The other thing that I have thought about is the parallels to networks, if you had a high speed low energy use hyper-loop that could function like a ring topology with small low rise communities around the ring. For quality of life a lot of people enjoy the small community feel (think palo alto) I live in Seattle in a small sub-community (Kirkland) that has that walk around the neighborhood to all services feel to it and I feel that it adds a lot to my quality of life.
>> I made 50k in a more expensive city, Paris. From that my partner and I were able to buy a flat, put our son into a catholic school

Having a partner doubles your income. More, if French taxation works in any way similarly to the German system, then an official relationship puts you in a different taxation category. Having children moves you into yet another category where your net income noticeably improves. You're probably making an equivalent of 100K for a single person without realizing it.

>> And yet these startups, everywhere, are able to do exactly that. They use equity as a carrot to lure experienced people from a sure thing all the time.

Not really. Everywhere where I've been I've only seen kids writing code. Anybody who is senior has always been an independent contractor, and it's usually them who actually advance the work by leaps and bounds. But those, today you have them working for you, tomorrow they're elsewhere. And with the young and inexperienced, you won't accomplish much.

Also, experienced people with families usually ignore any talks about equity and start the initial offer analysis with a calculator in their hands. I'm yet to encounter a true senior specialist with family obligations that takes equity over hard currency.
Yeah it's a shame that our government still doesn't acknowledge its role in killings of labor organizers and union members.

I would like to ask two things:

How do you think about the velocity.js code regarding performance optimization?

What would be the best way to coordinate multiple (potentially dependent) animations? I am thinking about a kind of dispatcher or switchboard logic - it would be great to see an advanced example right from the author.

Thank you very much for your attention!
Thanks for writing this, one of your quotes "Founders often hold too tightly onto solutions and too loosely onto problems" really resonated.

If someone were evaluating their next opportunity to tackle, would you recommend they focus less on identifying a specific pain point (that they may know how to solve), and instead identify a large market and then search for inefficiencies (even if they have less domain expertise in it).

Obviously the intersection of the two would be better (large market with a pain point you know how to solve) but curious which you would optimize for if you had to choose.
One thing that really needs to be addressed is how to retrofit the glut of car-centric developments designed in the late 20th century, to better conform with the growing sense of value we have in walkable communities today. Navigating the minefield of local zoning politics to try and convert car-centric stripmall mcmansion suburbs into tighter village-like communities will be an enduring puzzle in America at least.

There's also an interesting question in what happens when we cluster too many people into one city based around talent markets for knowledge work.

The Brexit vote in England may well be partially the result of the fact that the younger workforce in the UK was all stuffed into London due to the high concentration of knowledge work employers there, preventing newer ideas and values from being evenly applied across more of the country. You see the same thing happening in the USA, with near total dominance of one political ideology in the larger coastal cities and dominance of the other in places further afield. We're seeing a reversion to city-states in this regard, and with the distributed nature of knowledge work, you'd expect to see the opposite happening...
Restarting and installing a new OS without intent during a call is definitely bad.

Also, restarting to install updates while in the middle of a presentation at work was disrupting and humiliating. Happened to me.
Most cities succeed or fail based on their governance. Great ideas are awesome - I love them - but governance is where the rubber meets the road.

Solve governance, solve everything.
Cars have a place in cities but maybe they should be in tunnels underground or something.

I view money locked up in real estate as money in a very suboptimal place. We pay too much 'rent' in general; it'd be far better to try to make housing/office space cheap and have people invest the extra money in productive assets.
In addition to the obvious -- bootleg cigarettes from reservations and booze.
More or less. Some aspects of Western urban planning are rather big on things like Complete Streets, where you have segregated bike lanes added between sidewalks and street. These are fine for wider streets as seen in many American cities, but smaller streets which force cars to slower speeds don't necessarily bikes and even pedestrians segregated.

E.g. this slice of suburban Tokyo: https://www.google.com/maps/@35.7368825,139.5634333,3a,75y,2...
Note the speed limit is 30kph, or around 18mph.

This seems to be the default building style in much of Japan. You will still find larger streets which are arterial in nature, but they're usually still very bikeable and walkable, and still porous to smaller streets like the one linked above.
Yes, he's talking about a disagreement there with the open source movement. But the overall thrust of the article is that FS and OS are the same thing, overall, but lead people to different conclusions. He explicitly addresses the misconception that people think that only copyleft is free:

Another misunderstanding of “open source” is the idea
that it means “not using the GNU GPL.” This tends to
accompany another misunderstanding that “free software”
means “GPL-covered software.” These are both mistaken,
since the GNU GPL qualifies as an open source license
and most of the open source licenses qualify as free
software licenses. There are many free software
licenses aside from the GNU GPL.

And that's all I want to get across. rms isn't as loony as people who want to disagree with him make him out to be.
GCE vs. AWS in 2016
Recent Philadelphian transplant here: They move or take a different street. It's interesting that people here have accepting that if they're driving and a taxi stops to drop someone off, they just wait 30 seconds to proceed, or backup and take a side street over a few blocks to proceed around the blockage.
That doesn't solve the problem. All you do is move the problem beyond our star.

Entropy is still increasing.
My guess is things like alcohol and porn, things that are not intrinsically illegal but are still legal hot potatoes of compliance. An online alcohol vendor that had an "age check" that was easy to game ("yes, I'm 21") would be easy to set up and make a lot of money, but a lot of laws would leave Stripe legally in bad shape when the hammer came down, but the PR could be an even bigger disaster.
It would be better to move a few hundred startups. Startups sometimes grow up to be big tech companies, and it's much easier to move tiny companies.

We could, uh, help with that.

Things that The West can learn from The East:

Russia/Eastern Europe:

1. Free-for-all, mixed zoning. You own the land, build whatever you want as long as it's not a munitions factory (Most of Russia, Kazakhstan)

2. Market driven, privatized public transit (Most of Eastern Europe)

3. Small city blocks that let throught traffic.

4. Market controlled access to distric heating/cooling (Yakutsk an extreme example of privatized district level utilities)

5. Higher standards for building's energy efficiency (adopted across the former Soviet block)

6. Learn how to build decent "serially produced" housing for cheap (Ekaterinburg)

7. More traffic light controlled "turn right on red" signals - an easy way to increase traffic thoughtput by double digits (former Soviet block countries)

Asia:

1. learn how to build cities that are dense, but still livable (Hongkong, Singapore, Macau, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Tokyo)

2. Better construction technology and materials. MgO board, light/cellular concretes, thermal stops in slabs, automated, computerized armature prefabrication, etc (Most of People Republic if China, South Korea, Russian Far East)

3. Bus rapid transit, and how to make cheap public transport really work (Guangzhou)

4. Traffic laws that are two-wheeler friendly (Taipei, whole of Japan)

5. Public daycare and early primary education (Tokyo)

6. "Public housing for regular people" (Hongkong, Singapore)

7. Incentivize people to buy smaller cars, or use transit (Tokyo)

8. Double deck, or multi leve streets (Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Chicago)

Except that clicking the "x" is the same as clicking "Not now". The current pop-up is basically a notification that the upgrade has been scheduled and will happen. There's some other, smaller text in the window that would let her unschedule the update.
In my opinion, there is never a good time to restart. That is simply an artifact of the sad historical circumstances that led to the current state of operating systems.

I don’t particularly enjoy waking up to all my programs are closed because Windows decided that tonight was the night that it restarted.

It’s slightly better on MacOS, where programs using MacOS-specific APIs can restore their state on startup, but that doesn’t include most of the third-party applications. But MacOS doesn’t force the reboot. Yet.
As a developer I'd wish companies would treat Europe more like United States of Europe and generally accept remote positions in order to have a broader pool of talent and allow employees to economically make the most out of their salary.

I don't want startup capitals, I want an adjustment of mindsets that goes with the rest of the tech advancements.

I've had interviews for already internationally distributed teams where the HR manager insisted on having me full-time onsite without a good argument.
