> Does .NET Core offers something similar to Go goroutines or Erlang "lightweight" processes?

Not quite the same thing, but F# has the MailboxProcessor<'T> type which is conceptually similar to Erlang processes and can be used in the same way.

You seem to be treating this like "Knuth solved it in 1965, how hard can it be?" I provided a link to 100 language parsers with commit history. A quick Google reveals the most frequent committer has a CS degree from Caltech. Either it's hard or they're idiots. (I suppose we both can be right.)

Personally I wouldn't want to write something that can parse the Javascript embedded in the HTML emitted by a PHP script.

Subtle details like "screw that, life's way too short" can conspire to make "easy" things hard.
As someone who has only visited SV, I wonder: In order to avoid the crazy living expenses in SV and SF, why don't more people start companies within 100 miles of SV, in cheaper places like San Ramon/Castro Valley, Livermore, Sacramento, Pleasanton, Modesto, etc.? That way you have reasonable proximity without having to suffer the living quality issues associated with SV and SF.
I must admit that Microsoft is champion of creating tutorials and documentation about their programming languages. It is difficult to find the equivalent number of resources dedicated to one programming language as C# has.
Slightly off topic - the best feature of reading on an iOS device is the workflow of select word > define. Going to a browser and typing/pasting in a word then searching is a step too removed for me to do it routinely.

In many cases, yes. But it also mirrors tabs and it's how I watch Amazon Prime video on my TV since they don't offer Chromecast support (since they sell a competing device).

So instead, I just cast the tab fullscreen from my laptop or desktop. That sort of thing doesn't really work well enough for full motion video on a mobile device but a "regular" computer handles it about 99% as well as a native Chromecast app.

Beats screwing around with cables at least.
It could be 100 pages if you start from scratch with a permissive development plan... (from a city standpoint).

Issues such as criminal law, state and federal taxation, etc are outside the purvue of this discussion (and of the 100 page limit) since YCR is speaking of a _city_, likely within the US.

This analogy isn't making a lot of sense:

"It’s like they put a sign on a door that said “Free Lemonade” and a bunch of people came inside… only not that many people are drinking the lemonade… What’s wrong?? How do we fix it? They ask.

"If anyone had bothered to mingle about the room and strike up some conversations, they might have realized that the majority of people in the room were diabetics… So they couldn’t drink the lemonade.

"They came in the room hoping there would be other drinks… like water… but left after they couldn’t find any.
Had someone learned this information and grabbed a case of water, the room probably would have stayed full and more people would have showed up… even without changing the lemonade sign (word of mouth travels fast)."

So the diabetics came because of the lemonade sign even though they can't drink it? And while they're in the room, word of mouth about free water is spreading outside the room? I'm having a hard time picturing this scene.

I'm not trying to pick on you, just suggesting that this section might be improved by replacing this confusing story with something more related to the real world :)
"If someone can make money by building a store, that's great, what's wrong with it?"

There can be plenty of things wrong with it. I don't subscribe to the idea that whatever makes money is instantly the best thing.

And I never said that I want to keep corner stores away from where people could walk to it. I said that leaving everything up to the "free market" doesn't always yield the best solution for everyone. It only yields the most profitable solution for those with the money.

I might be missing something here, but does this mean that .NET Framework and .NET Core have diverged, and you need to take extra steps to keep code compatible with both?

The major differences between .NET Core and the .NET Framework: [...] APIs — .NET Core contains many of the same, but fewer, APIs as the .NET Framework, and with a different factoring (assembly names are different; type shape differs in key cases). These differences currently typically require changes to port source to .NET Core.

While I understand the motivation, this at first sight looks like something that will be with us for a long time, and could make life more difficult especially for library authors, who need to potentially target both 'platforms'.

Disclaimer: I'm not a British citizen, just an expat of another country.

The difference between a citizen and a resident is that a citizen has made a long term commitment to the country. A citizen has decided that they want to be a part of the country, with all of the privileges and responsibilities that entails.

Take a spectrum of immigration statii:

- Temporary resident working on a visa or similar.

- Long term resident working with indefinite leave to stay or permanent residence.

- Citizen

Now imagine what would happen if they can vote:

- Temporary resident: Doesn't necessarily care about long term effects of their vote on the country. Could vote for short term changes that benefit them then leave. Isn't integrated with the culture and could cause discontent.

- Long term resident: Hasn't committed to a long term relationship with the country so is essentially the same as a temporary resident. Has the option to become a citizen __and has chosen not to__.

Why shouldn't you agree to commit to the country long term if you want the privilege of affecting it long term?
The answer here is for you to convince VCs and other investors to support this, publicly, and tell founders that they won't be punished for this on future fundraising.

Hearing from A16Z that they don't support this is a big negative signal to any founder.

If you aren't actively working for the company, and maybe even if you are, it's trivial for your options to end up diluted out to crap by any random funding event that might happen.

Being forced to live in a high rise apartment is very undesirable. Most people would choose to live in a single family house with a yard.
> I view money locked up in real estate as money in a very suboptimal place.

I don't think this is a good view to take as a fully general statement. People invest capital in real estate because they get benefits from it. If the benefits they get are worth more to them than the benefits they would get from any alternative uses of the same capital, then putting that capital into real estate is optimal for them.

> it'd be far better to try to make housing/office space cheap and have people invest the extra money in productive assets.

If spending more money on real estate increases its value to the people who use it, then it is a productive asset. I think you are taking too narrow a view of what "productive" means. Instead of seeing it as "make housing/office space cheap", I think you should be thinking of it as "make housing/office space give more value for a given investment". In other words, don't make it cheap; make something people want. Making it as cheap as possible might not always be the best way to do that.
The Comission.
Geographic/country classification, languages and genetic roots all mesh differently in this case. Languagewise the Baltic countries apart from Estonia have Slavic majority languages. Biologically Finnish genetic makeup comes from a mix of Sami, Swedish & ugric peoples and is quite diverse [1] but does have a lot of overlap with Estonians. Culturally Finland differs due to having avoided Soviet occupation.

That doesn't make sense though. They could still provide the same benefit by renting the apartment and giving it to the employee. Unless you think VCs should be betting on real estate, because that's the only advantage - they get the upside if the property goes up in value.
Note: a mm or .040 quality tolerance for large pieces of a building is not good enough.
Well no it doesn't, but that's generally because they had rewards with the airline or bought it in a deal somewhere. Both are legal ways to reduce the money you pay for things. As is streaming music these days. And I should emphasize I'm not against being able to crack DRM and I think it would be really bad to make uncrackable DRM. In my opinion DRM is not supposed to stop the people who would crack it anyways, it's the people who would try it just for the hell of it if it were easy. It's like why you put a lock on your house: it's not because it makes it impenetrable to burglars, it's because it keeps out 99% of the assholes who would just walk in if there was no door.
It can't in hibernate because it's the state as shutdown. The deep sleep introduced in new versions of Windows might still be able to wakeup though.
A computer that reboots to update to Windows 10 could also have updated to install a bug patch; it was set to auto-update.

If a computer system is so mission-critical that it should never updated, well, Windows has a setting for that-- so turn it on!
I use Windows 10 on my home workstation. Last week I was checking a few things in the morning before I left for work. Windows wanted to schedule updates, it suggested "9AM; because it doesn't look like you use your computer at that time."

That computer hosts a Linux VM which I connect to remotely from work and use for most of my development efforts... I use it every day without fail, yet Windows thinks my computer is "idle" simply because I'm not physically sitting at the terminal moving the mouse and keyboard.

I realize that's a perfectly reasonable heuristic for your average desktop user; but something about the messaging and voice of Windows 10 just really rubs me the wrong way. Previous versions of Windows seemed much less chatty, whereas now everything feels so presumptuous and autonomous all under the guise of "Cortana knows your habits better than you do."
And for the vast majority of people that heard this, it will never be challenged. They will walk on through life believing it is true and never hearing a single reason why it isn't. The WaPo won't run a front page article tomorrow saying "Why we were full of shit".

> the same cities that were important 100 years ago are, by-and-large, the same cities that are important today

Silicon Valley was not a "place to be" 100 years ago. Maybe 200 years ago during gold rush.

New Orleans was more of a "place to be" before Hurricane Katrina.

In general, I agree that North America was remarkably stable in the last 100 years. Europe and Asia were much more affected by the world wars. Afghanistan and Iraq were much more places to be 20 years ago.

A common interface for building developer tools
> I think its understandable that MS dont want to keep investing in phased out software.

I think the problem is that they are phasing out software to replace it with something that few people are asking for. I like Windows 10. I also liked Windows 8.1, 7, Vista, XP, and 2000. I've been using them to do basically the exact same thing for the past 15 years -- run software and manage files. I think any one of them could have been the operating system that Microsoft declares "this is the last one!".
Not necessarily, and there could be potential for there to be more options. When you have those really large warehouses to buy groceries, they tend to limit the number of brands for a particular item. Also, at what cost does it come at when you have these large stores? Maybe the price might be slightly lower, but in the end is it making our lives better? Having many options isn't always a good thing.

Indeed, Pentametron [0] ('With algorithms subtle and discreet/I seek iambic writings to retweet') has been up since 2012. Despite the occasional serendipitous pairing, it obviously doesn't make much sense, as didn't the obvious machine-poems in TFA.

Heh. I was just following along with some Unreal Engine tutorials yesterday. Unfortunately the engine has changed since the tutorials were uploaded, so some kind souls pasted the new C++ code in the comment field. What. A. Mess.
For public companies it doesn't matter because there is immediate liquidity to cover options. Their vesting periods are often even shorter at 6 months and they tend to not even bother with options and just give you stock units directly or have stock purchasing plans at below market rates.
If it's so critical, why hadn't anybody turned off auto-updates?

This problem isn't new with Windows 10. It could have just as easily upgrade to a new Windows 7 patch which broke the product.
New development in for example NYC has very strict requirements on how much noise can pass through walls, ceilings and floors. I live in a tower that was just finished in 2015, the floor-to-ceiling windows are double-pane glass (no air gap, looks very thin), rubber mounted rim all around. It's absolutely, completely, silent. I have never heard a single noise from a neighbor either. Open a window, the traffic noise from the street is intense (and messes up the climate control, so no need to do that).

So, it's definitely possible to build densely with great soundproofing, and is now often required by the building code in bigger cities. Of course old stock won't be magically converted, but will also improve with time as they get renovated.
This seems to be a very enjoyable read. Even if you just skim the equations, it has a really nice perspective on building up relativity and some alternative pathways.

Funny enough, I had just gotten to the chapter on Schrödinger's derivation of his quantum equation in "The Age of Entanglement" by Louisa Gilder, a book whose style of historical scientific fiction reminds me of reading Asimov's Foundation series.
You might be surprised how little 3D they are. Look at the top line model: the human cortex is only about 3 mm thick, and comprised of only six layers of neurons. It may look like a big lump of meat, but that's because it's folded to fit more area into the limited volume available in the skull. If you unfold it, you get this very thin sheet with a whopping area of 2500 cm^2.
Indeed, Blackmagic stuff is junk (although I am biased)
No, we're not talking about a 10-minute walk. You responded to my comment 'It solves the "the store is far away" problem, but it does nothing for the "I need more food than I can personally carry" problem.'

A cart is not actually responsive to that, because it reintroduces the other problem.

The law recognizes brandishing as a type of offense.
For the benefit of those who see the article but can't reach the site, I think one of the interesting parts of the project is the artist's statement about how the idea was sparked by interacting with friends in technical fields who don't have any art on their walls and are sort of caught between not wanting to buy cheap prints or posters and a lack of comfort/vocabulary for obtaining better art.

So, the artist is making an API where your role as the requester is in providing data that the artist will use as inspiration to create and send an oil painting within your budget.
> so this is a sneaky way of raising rent that doesn't reduce demand as much.

You could say a similar thing about laundry room charges where there isn't any competition. And also no specific disclosure as well (unless you ask) therefore is that sneaky? What I am saying is non disclosure does not mean "sneaky".

But another point is this: If enough buildings are doing this, such that an article like the parent post is being written, it then becomes something that a careful apartment shopper should or would consider when pricing apartments "total cost of rental".

You know if you buy an expensive luxury car they don't specifically point out that you will have to pay fees to keep your warranty current (Porsche, Mercedes as two examples). So is that sneaky? After all BMW (as a high end competitor) includes all maintenance.
I fail to see how a worldwide China has any less local knowledge than a China sized one - it is not even a factor of 10 difference in population. Also, a cursory look at history would suggest that dictators have a lot more power to oppress you than your family and neighbours.

I really wish there was an IDE for this that was NOT Visual Studio.
That's not enough to change anything. If everyone can get $X from kickbacks, then one person can afford to reduce their headline rate by $Y<$X, thus outperforming others until they reduce their price to the same equilibrium except $X of costs are now implicit.

You need some more complex notion of stickiness differing between imputed and sticker costs as I mentioned downthread for this to be harmful.

The problem with this is that public policy decisions are being made in secret, without any transparency other than what the press can dig up. Why not discuss this publicly?
The real issue is 10 year vesting schedules increases your odds of success. Sure, it might have a tiny negative impact on your final returns but 'winning' is vastly more important than marginal gains on a win.
You nearly always want the capture device to compress because it's otherwise very hard to handle. 1080p/60/8 HDMI is 4.46Gbps; just about fits in a USB3 or PCIe3 data link, but exceeds most SSDs' write bandwidths.
I completely agree.

Very often the skill set needed for employees changes dramatically over the first several years of a startup's life. It's best for everyone if there is a highly liquid job market and employees can easily leave (or be let go) when they are no longer contributing at their max, but then easily find another place where they contribute more. It's a lot easier to let someone go if both parties know that the employee has been well compensated for the work and risk they took on. It's that much harder to fire someone when a consequence is that they will miss out on any equity.

I'm sure there are edge cases, but I can't see how, in the general case, tying people to companies for long amounts of time is good for anyone involved.
I don't know about internet, but I've declined to allow them to install satellite dishes. Their technicians will drill holes through your roof with reckless abandon, and the tenant won't care because they'll likely be moved out by the time the water damage really sets in from their improperly filled hole. Not to mention you can't have a one-time installation: They want to reinstall a new one every time so they can charge the tenant an installation fee.

Even if they offer the installation for free, I want their barely-trained technicians to drill holes in my property as much as a fisherman wants them to drill holes in his boat.
Or that the employees might have changing life circumstances any time in the 10-15 year future. Find a partner that changes your life needs around working life or living location, have a kid, need more or different housing, have medical issues, have family with medical issues, etc and you're sol.

It may be unjustified, but with some other stories I'm not a liberty to disclose, they seem very employee unfriendly.
For the autonomous cars, it'd be interesting if they could do the equivalent of what computers do by "binding to a domain", letting things like these loaders connect to them and "drive" them onboard.

Really, the car would (should!) still be driving itself—it's the thing that gets certified on how to handle safety issues, after all; the car would just be given a dead-reckoning location target by the zone controller, which the car would get to as best it knows how, with the zone controller scanning to "see" when it had successfully boarded, just like with a human-driven car.

If there were few-enough human-driven cars, you could have a team of valet staff accompanying the train, acting as glue for the few human-driven cars in the pack.
