Because 95% of the time it's not market rate because the employee thinks his equity is worth something, and founders never disabuse them of this notion. And many owners pretend like the equity is some form of employee ownership. Then they never inform them of the multitude of clauses that shift all possible risk away from the company, founders, and investor onto the backs of the employees.

Again I want to reiterate that all of this is great if the the company is upfront with possible employees about how the deal is structured, and that the employee is just an employee with a few lottery tickets so they might as well be working at AmaGooBookSoft for twice as much money. And upfront the owners told the employee that they definitely should not put in their blood, sweat, tears, and family time into the startup because they're not a part owner, they are "Just an employee".
Around about 1985/6 when I was doing my electronic engineering apprenticeship at Link-Miles in the UK (flight and vehicle simulation), we had a requirement to link together various bits of RS232-connected equipment as needed and between rooms and labs that were spread around the site - for example, we needed terminal comms from our PCs to a VAX 11/750 and various serial printers, plus we had custom equipment racks around the place (including Meiko Transputer development systems!) and also serial-connected device programmers (PROM/EPROM/PAL/GAL) and so on.

After a bit of digging, I found 'Infa Communications' and their 'Infaplugs', which carried serial traffic round a ring of 75 ohm coax between the plugs. The system also had a simple connnect/disconnect command language (similar in principle to the Hayes/AT modem command set), so I wrote a TSR (terminate and stay resident) 'switchboard' program in Turbo Pascal, which allowed users to change link destinations as required, and could also intercept terminal comms so that print streams coming from the VAX to the local terminal could be grabbed and redirected to elsewhere - you could even program an EPROM in the lab from your office desk (although you'd have to phone and ask someone to pop one in the Stag programmer!).

It was all very cool for its time and avoided the need for dozens of long runs of screened multicore cable and multiplexers all over the place - it all worked very well, but then came the familar sight of thick yellow Ethernet coax everywhere and the writing was on the wall for the Infaplugs.

If you require the use of a GC, you can never be as "fast as C" in the general case, since there will always be specific cases where manual memory management will do something more efficient than what an automatic GC would have done --- just like a car with an automatic transmission can never be quite as efficient as a car with a manual transmission used competently.

If you want to talk about efficient GCed languages, you have many choices, most of which have more tooling and mindshare advantages than you language has tooling advantages.

Really, GCed languages are commodities these days. A lot of people have put a lot of work into the fundamental building blocks, and now people are just combining them in various ways.
Well, depending on whether you are looking for naturally occurring anthropomorphic behavior, they are either the best or worst place to look. :)

That is, they are probably good evidence for some emotions in animals, but fairly useless in their current incarnation as to whether it was naturally occurring. Interestingly, it's entirely possible (and likely, IMO) that they exhibited some of this behavior originally due to their social nature, and this is what causes humans to start the process of domestication in the first place (not that it was likely a decision like that).

What's really interesting is how quickly changes, both behavioral and physical happen during domestication (and how quickly domestication works, possibly on the order of a decade or so)[1].

This is not uncommon in other aspects of the society as well. Harvard is facing a lawsuit that the school’s admissions policy discriminates against Asian Americans.

"the suit notes the findings of a study of seven top public and private colleges: “Asian Americans needed SAT scores that were about 140 points higher than white students. . . . [I]f a white student needed a 1320 SAT score to be admitted to one of these schools, an Asian American needed a 1460 SAT score to be admitted.”

sorry, but your comment (this one and original one) sounds as a very entitled one, yet it looks like nothing was contributed by you. also, it totally ignores the facts (ones i outlined in my response.)

i understand that it is your opinion - it is always someone's. but you had some intention with publishing it (otherwise you would just talk it to yourself and move on.) and that intention either bashing work of LO team, or steer that work in some direction which would benefit you, who has not invested anything significant into LO, or... idk. (and no - using it to open docs instead of paying for MS Office is not "investment".) Either way it is not cool.

So please, either start project to refactor UI (ideally it should be pluggable, so people who prefer old UI still could get it, forks of project that size are bad in general,) or stop bashing/manipulating project's destiny, and just buy MS Office or some other paid office product which fits your bill.
I guess this is a good place for me to ask how do people prioritize what to learn? Also what are your steps to learning something.

>It means the claims are unverifiable. The test set especially should be available.

Eh..Why should anyone in the world care that a compressor can compress test data well? Except vaguely, it might serve as a motivator to investigate the use of said compressor for their own purpose. But then again, this is simply marketing, for developers.

To me, its like saying "the new compiler version is faster" on this collection of source files. Personally, I couldn't care less what the test set is, if the compiler is not faster for my own use case.

So yeah, if anyone is interested, they could probably get an evaluation copy, try it out on their own data and decide for themselves.

I can't talk about Crystal and Go because the lack of experience with them. But the described issue is not only for Java (i.e I have seen it in Node too).

Since memory deallocation is not deterministic, there have to be a tradeoff between lazy scheduling (which increase memory consumption) or frequent scheduling (which has a performance overhead).

You can do a fine tuning between those variables but that means that a high performant with a low memory footprint system is a very challenging thing to make using a tracing garbage collection (the ones in Java and Node).
> The key to performing concurrent evacuation is having the Java Threads and the GC threads agree on the location of objects. This is accomplished in Shenandoah by the use of a Brooks forwarding pointer. All reads by the Java Threads indirect through this forwarding pointer. All writes to objects in targeted regions must first copy the object and then write to the object in its new location.

I'm a bit surprised that indirection is efficient enough to be worth the trouble (since you need reads and writes to branch for the indirected-object case), but I can't argue with results.

Probably not, in this case, because Twitter has implemented HSTS[1], and are[2] in a list that comes with your browser that specifies never to connect to the site unencrypted. If they're in the browser list, your browser will never actually connect on port 80; it will silently redirect client-side to HTTPS.

We believe everyone should be able to access the world's information without censorship and you shouldn't have to pay to access that right. Media Players and private storage are great ideas we've thought through too. Currently the VPN is applied to the browser only, so we're thinking of charging to switch the VPN on for device-wide protection. There's also security and privacy extensions and customization support, such as adding custom DNS or your own server location.

The biggest problem with GC, it seems, is some sort of non-determinism that it introduces in the program's behavior. Otherwise, garbage collection, being 'lazy', is, in fact, more efficient way of releasing unused memory compared to how it is usually done in C and, especially, C++, where memory is released 'eagerly' (e.g. as part of the destructor), thus wasting precious machine cycles on something that may not be even necessary at all.
You're assuming its vs it's is always due to lack of knowledge. Sometimes it's just a brainfart.

I noticed today that I had sent an email that used the wrong form of "to" ("too" instead). This isn't because I don't know English. It's just that what came out of my fingers was wrong. Mea culpa, it happens.

The way English uses the apostrophe is especially tedious and offers no value: it'd be no real shame if the distinction between "its" and "it's" disappeared over time, just like English lost gendered nouns and words like thy and thine.

This.

As a parent, you want to remain calm and not accidentally start giving a child a bunch of problems that he may not actually have. At the same time, it's quite useful to have somebody's opinion who's seen hundreds of different kids and can provide you with some context.

So find an expert, and then go spend some time talking to them -- both with and without the kid. At the end of the day, it's your decision what to do, but it's always good to talk to somebody with a bit wider view than you might have. After all, it's basically the same thing you're doing now on HN, except this would be talking to somebody who actually specializes in these things.

> What I find time and again is that as I go far enough into some new interest, it starts to converge and connect to my other ones. I see similarities, or ideas where I can combine multiple interests to produce something that I couldn't make with just one of them.

I've experienced the same thing. I used to joke that if you go far enough in any discipline, you'll end up in philosophy and abstract math. But it's more than that. Reality does not recognize specializations and boundaries. Reality is that "amorphous blob of all of this stuff, jumbled together". Drawing boundaries help us make sense of the world, but it's important to recognize boundaries are somewhat arbitrary and we're free to redraw them to fit our needs better.
The terminology you're looking for here regarding the differing logins for different organizations is Single Sign-On (SSO) Providers. There are a bunch of different methods of implementing SSO, and companies that offer this as a service. Using the two-step login allows Microsoft, Google, etc. to redirect users to authenticate with their associated SSO Provider based on their username, or in this case email address domain, so that this login can be shared across other services a company utilizes.

It would also represent a fundamental shift in the program, from social insurance to wealth transfer. Raising the retirement age is an acknowledgement that the actuarial data has changed.

Furthermore, you don't just blindly follow marked lanes (even if you knew exactly where they are) in a snowstorm. You may follow tracks left by other vehicles, deal with the fact that two lanes in cities often effectively constrict to one, etc.

No, lots of people don't do a great job whether it's because they're driving too fast, not leaving enough room, or slamming on the brakes. But there's a huge amount of judgment and situational awareness needed in bad weather--especially snow.

Certainly, autonomous systems can (and almost certainly will) be restricted to certain roads/types of roads in certain weather conditions and still be useful driving aids. But as soon as you restrict systems to only working some of the time, you've effectively closed off any use that doesn't allow for having a competent driver behind the wheel at all times.

Good : Google's documentation - It nicely break downs documentation into 3 or 4 simple tabs(guides, reference and samples). Left panel has breakdown of page related to tab , right panel has more detailed view of the page itself. This kind of provides 3-indices to entire documentation. (eg: https://goo.gl/7ZIuX)

Most of documentation is simple enough to understand with examples and highlighted with right colors wherever it is required (I feel color highlighting remains under appreciated in documentation). And also one can invoke apis and play a bit.

‘Behaviour’ was the wrong word for me to use. I should have said, dogs are the worst place to look for human-like internal mental state. If your dog looks contrite when they've done something wrong, do they feel contrite, or have they just mechanically evolved to make you think they do?

An occasional exception and silent corruption the rest of the time is still a lot better than silent corruption all the time - it's much easier to notice in the first place, and as long as you have one instance of the exception you have a stack trace to start from.

>>“When women are leaving, it is because they don’t think they can do it – not because they can’t do it,” said study co-author Bailey Fosdick in a press release.

Very aptly put. It reminded me a quote by Henry Ford: "If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right."

We must encourage the women (and also the men) entering STEM courses to persist even in case of initial difficulties.

Another point, which is not discussed in the article but is somewhat relevant in this discussion (although not directly addressing the gender gap, per se) is: the US school level math has become almost a joke, because it's been watered down so much in the names of various reforms and various (perceived) societal needs and thus it instills false and undue confidence amongst many university entering students. [1,2]

Such students when encounter a subject like Calculus-I in its full glory and depth, they naturally get frightened. Even if they somehow get past the Calc-I hurdle (e.g. after remedial coaching etc), they are not in a position to handle the cognitive load needed to sail through the entire STEM courses.

Land is really cheap in most of the US, that does not really help as much as you might think. Sure, your house might be 40-80k but good luck finding a good job or customers.

IMO, a lot of this has to do with housing subsides keeping people near city's who don't need to be near city's. If your rent has not kept up with inflation for the last 20+ years then why move? You don't have any equity to liquidate and rent control is keeping the price stable so just stay.
It's not defined. The library/VM is very good at throwing ConcurrentModificationException in practice, but it's specified as a best-effort thing, not to be relied upon.
