Do you also use rolling checksums (like bup) to prevent re-storing data when only a few bytes have changed?

I've read the section on Github, but can you give some specific examples that you see as good use cases?

> Perhaps it is "sandboxed" in the code but in practice I'm not sure you could call it a sandbox from the defense in depth standpoint. Simply running stuff in a separate process doesn't count for much if the separate process is not restricted in any way.

Exactly this.
You say proletariat like it's a bad thing.

Of all the social goals that we have (curing cancer, hunger, war, etc.), it amazes me that we haven't added 'work' to that list. Maybe like 5% of people that I know enjoy work more than 50% of the time (and it's probably not 'work' at that point).

Work sucks - we should eradicate it and let people spend their short time on Earth doing what they enjoy. Many of our ancestors worked hard so that we could have better. I hope that I can work so that my descendents (and your descendents) won't have to.
My queston is on scalability. You say "large datasets" on the website. What is large? 1x/10x/100x Terabytes? 1x/10x/100x Petabytes?

What kind of access rates? Etc.

Very general answers are okay -- I'm trying to wrap my head around whether this is even in the right ballpark for my world.

Distinguishing current proof-of-concept vs. design-goal scale is okay too.

Thanks!
I don't see the parallel there. HTML was always a secular technology, unlike DirectX which was created and developed by Microsoft for Microsoft.
Great to see real world examples.
It's definitely not a proof of concept.

I pointed you out (sort of) to why Kodak failed. It had MASSIVE facilities with 10s of thousands of employees making industrial chemicals. You cannot snap your fingers and transition to another business model.
sure, it could be. OOP is basically an imperative style of programming. it defines procedures as methods of objects, rather than as stand-alone functions. in any case its the awkward use of language by a journalist without deep subject matter expertise.

I once found a commercial code in the Stanford library stacks. Common business phrases were encoded as four-syllable worlds. In the book was a loose piece of typewritten paper stating that after a cutoff date, the telegraph company would charge extra for non-dictionary words. This made the code worthless.

I never tell people anyway. I slightly evade the question and say, (in a somewhat annoyed tone), "I'm looking for something in the $X range," where $X is higher than what I actually want. So far, that's worked out fine, since that is the information they actually want to know.

I hear you, this one that I'm in the editing process of now (which is hell) is my third attempt at writing a novel.

What made this one get to some semblance of done is that I forced myself to write 1000 words a night. And the bulk of it was horrible rambling string of consciousness crap. But it force me to exercise the writing muscles. Then I later just filtered out the crap, and luckily found a couple of good lines here, a neat character there. And it sort of just worked out. It's making a habit out of it that really counts.

An illustation of that is found in high-end hotels. Beyond the building, it's the value that the cleaning and groundskeeping staff provide which makes the stay great. And yet their pay is not that much higher than their counterparts working for a budget hotel.

(As a side-note, that's why I always smile and engage with the staff whenever I can: it's a thankless job, despite being one of the most important.)
Most professions you are referring to are unionized and defend their interests as a group, if you wait for C-execs to increase salaries of its information workers you might wait a long... long time. They have a board of shareholders to respond to and that is just not in their interest.

I am actually quite surprised at the devotion of some people here for their masters. It does provide a beautiful illustration of La Boetie's speech on "Voluntary servitude".

I mean, c'mon, this isn't the McCarthy era anymore... people should not get thrown off because you pronounce the word unions. Ordoliberalism like applied in Germany where I worked a couple years provides a quite elegant framework to allow a local form of union so the workers' right can be defended while not impending innovation and regular market dynamics.
It's also code that modifies the engine in a way that Epic's founder disagrees with.
> How much do I offer for this house?

I like the example, but wouldn't it be more parallel to ask "How much have you offered for other houses?" or "How much did your previous house sell for?". The seller would love to know that you are capable of offering more, but you are (properly?) reluctant to give this information.

> But the previous sales are a piece of information about the market that I ought not ignore.

I don't think there is any dispute that this is valuable information to the person doing the hiring. The question is whether it is fair to the person being hired to be asked this question.

Despite the theoretical disadvantage to the business, the current result seems to be that those who are historically disadvantaged will remain disadvantaged, while those who started out with an advantage will be disproportionally rewarded.
Another question to help me better understand the tool: who do you see as your competitors, technically? What do you see as viable alternatives to Noms, but worse? (Or better!) I do see that you were inspired by git, but clearly your use-cases are different.
They can definitely also EEE with this. Take a game engine, create a fork for your platform, wait until your platform and fork has a significant market share, and then start introducing features to your fork, which are not directly available on the main-branch.

I can't seem to find anything on how UE4 is licensed, but even if Microsoft is forced to release all of their source code, if their fork is different enough from the main-branch, it might be extremely hard to backport all of these features into the main-branch.

> It increases time on site,

My interpretation is that they increases time-on-site by pushing away people that aren't committed enough to wade through bloatware... and I don't understand how that works in the long-run.

Is it more profitable to push away customers so you get high-quality data on the core customers, and increasingly targeted advertising? How does that work out in the long-run when you need to replace lost customers?
> Nobody is stopping engineers from saying "I'm going to contribute $1.5m to your bottom line this next year, I want you to pay me $1.4m", but they'll be shown the door because there's a guy that's willing to contribute the same $1.5m in exchange for $100k in compensation.

Which is why you should be an owner/competitor versus an employee if you know the business well enough.

Though I'm not sufficiently familiar w/ Jobs / Woz careers -- I like what you're getting at. I would say that just like there are 10x engineers, there's 10x Product managers / CEOs (really, just 10x people in general). They are few and far between (or, I've never met one) -- but if you got one, I can't imagine its possible to overpay them.
I've been recruiting for a few years now, and I've always hated asking how much someone is making currently. Have always found it better to ask "what are your compensation expectations?" Puts the ball in the candidate's court and I prefer asking this early in conversations as to make sure we're aligned and no one wastes each others time.
>Assuming perfect information, yes, "supply and demand". Since you are so eager to offhand dismiss people, you can now research that one condition you conveniently left out.

Creating an independent set of windows with FF is as easy as creating a shortcut with the '-no-remote' option. Using '-P -no-remote' will open a new independent window and show the profile manager (so you can have one shortcut to run multiple profiles). If you already have a short list of profiles you like to run, then you can hard code the profile name is as well.
Agreed. In my field, physics, salaries are low precisely because supply is high.

The work is hard, and demands a lot of training/skill, but there are a lot of people who will do almost anything to stay in the field. One of the things they can do is accept a lower-than-tech-market salary.

What does that even mean? It's kind of rare that someone will pay you enough money that you can live off your investments.
No. There is the original bytestorage for the data that is to be parsed - and is the only thing necessarily taking a chunk of memory - and the sink for the parsed data somewhere else. The state held by the enumerator itself is tiny. A pointer to the source buffer is held in the pos pointer. As the user extracts entities from the parser the pos pointer is just forwarded. There is of course the parsing code inside 'next' itself which was not included, but which knows what entities to expect and forwards the pos by the entity size while checking it does not go over the end.

i.e. enumerating_parser p(source, source_len); ParseResult r; while(p.next(r)){// forward context of r forwards}.
You can disable those search results. I'm not on a Windows 10 computer right now so I can't tell you where to look, but I found the settings fairly easily once it gave up trying to search the internet for a "settings" program. Do that and the search function will suck a lot less.
This "plan the mountains, write the valleys" seems like a pretty decent approach. I suppose that I did something of a hybrid.

Yeah, I think that was a bit of a mistake by you guys. AVA's entire point is to be fast but it has the perception of being slow because you've made transpiling a core feature. I would drop that and let people do their own transpiling.

MAWP
> That UWP apps are sandboxed (like Android and iOS apps) and therefore less able to act maliciously.

Many people don't want Console/phone like restriction on PC. Sweeney feared that MS will try to force everybody to use UWP, and later MS will change UWP policies. But then it will be late for everybody move away from UWP.

How many people you know downloads the apk on their android phone to get the app running? Do you have any say on the Google Play policy changes? MS will certainly repeat how convenient UWP is, but people are reluctant to trust MS because they don't know how MS will behave in the future.

That's what Tim Sweeney fears. Phasing out the open nature of the ecosystem, and replacing it with a locked down one where MS controls everything.

And that's a lock down. Maybe it's not for malicious reason, but people have enough reason to hold on onto the open nature that drove the growth of PC gaming(and malware). Secondly, when they don't know if MS will keep their words.
No, it's pretty much the same in C[0]. Sorry, my point was not laid out. It was not to be obnoxious, but that one can implement various pattern fairly succintly in C or C++ and thus "is difficult to do in language x" is not a very compelling argument there.

Rust has algebraic datatypes, memory safety, pattern matching, etc, - those are actual things that are, if not hard, then at least tiringly verbose to do in C and C++;

0: enumerating_parser now becomes struct enumerating_parser{}, the constructor becomes a factory function while next() takes in the parser as a state parameter.
Certain causes of tinnitus cannot be treated, but some can. So be sure your doctor tries to understand the cause of your tinnitus.

For example, one (of many) causes of tinnitus is otosclerosis--the "stirrup" bone in your ear grows extra bone and becomes unable to vibrate properly. The primary symptom of this problem is somewhat muffled hearing, but it is often accompanied by tinnitus.

This condition comes on extremely slowly, so you may not notice the hearing loss. I finally noticed it in myself once when I put my head down on a pillow and suddenly couldn't hear the TV.

There is a good medical solutions to it though--"stapes mobilization surgery". Low risk, better hearing, and tinnitus gone.

So if you have tinnitus and somewhat muffled hearing, see a doctor and mention otosclerosis. It is definitely worth getting checked out. It can really improve your life.
If the supply/demand curve pushes the salary above the value created, then the job will disappear and that value will never be created. That is how resources get allocated to the most valuable projects.

There are techniques for writing for role-playing games that are a hybrid of planning/winging. You want to plan a hook, how the story get's started, who are the main agents and their motivations, then you just let the story unfold. It seems there is room for something in the middle.
Exactly. Good companies understand the value of great employees and I've found these tactics are for companies that penny-pinch and can't/won't budge. No better way to lose out on great talent that to only offer 10% more when other companies realize the value they're getting and offer significantly more.
From a talk for the Women in Machine Learning and Data Science meetup on Hyperparameter Optimization
I guess you don't remember browser wars. Until MS started supporting standard HTML, they were pushing all kind of junk like ActiveX and Silverlight, in attempt to monopolize the Web with lock-in. Only when browsers competition intensified, they reluctantly started supporting standards (even WebGL). Some still suffer from that lock-in though, such as South Korea who are stuck with very bad decision of requiring ActiveX for bank transactions.

Exactly same thing here. They used DX to lock 3D graphics into their platforms.
This. As a Firefox user I have the same 'feeling' going back the other way. With regards to developer tools, I find the tools that I use constantly - console, inspector, network activity - to be superior on Firefox... Each to his own I suppose.

Currently e10s is only using two processes, so there should not be a massive increase in memory. Particularly, if you have many tabs open, the pages are still all just stored in a single process, so there should not be much overhead. Part of the work towards having multiple content processes will be ensuring the memory overhead is not too high.

Sometimes authors do this for you. For example in The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut he quickly introduces a time travelling character who tells the main character vaguely what will happen to him throughout the book, leaving him with a picture of beautiful Sirens on Titan, Jupiter's largest moon. From then on you wonder how the main character will end up living on Titan. Vonnegut even centers the title of the book around this kind of suspenseful trick.

When done by a skillful author, this kind of pre-reveal can be really engaging.
