Well, if you had done that in Singapore, heck, not even worked, just overstayed your visa, you would have both gone to prison and been caned.

Visa laws for countries can be very, very serious. Violating them can get you in a lot of trouble - certainly not unique to the United States. In comparison to a lot of other countries, the United States isn't even particularly harsh if you overstay your visa - certainly no caning.
I might agree or disagree depending on the details.

Lower latency? Yeah, CPU wins easily.

4k resolution 2D composition? Well, GPU is pretty likely to win this one...

CPU has pretty low latency, easily better than what GPU can achieve. But on the other hand GPU has insane bandwidth, high degree of parallelism and hardware ROPs.
You're missing my point that they banned anyone from trying to implement Flash in the browser. It's OK to say "we don't want to spend time implementing Flash on iOS", it's another thing entirely to say "no one else is allowed even to try". They're blocking entrants in the Apple app store. If you want to be pedantic about the word "blocking", then swap it with banning instead if you like.
>Silicon Valley is not a creation of the Fed.

Silicon Valley itself isn't but the exaggerated SV house prices, exaggerated levels of VC funding and exaggerated valuations are all a function of the fed's ZIRP policy.

The situation with Intel GPUs is improving though. There's ongoing work to make sure that Linux graphics drivers can be used on FreeBSD where no native driver exists yet. Also, there's a good chance the work in Dragonfly BSD will make it into FreeBSD: Dragonfly has pretty decent support of the more recent Intel chipsets.

My review of Dell XPS 15 as a developer laptop
1) You should expect lost , delayed and garbled comms. Your app layer or stacks should handle this.

2) A limit switch will still need debounce. If it's the sort of limit switch that will keep people's hand attached to their arm, I would be loathe to depend on interrupt priority for it.

We van start nix expressions in isolated containers with a single command! https://nixos.org/releases/nixos/14.12/nixos-14.12.374.61adf...
thanks for the reminder! I activated it about a month ago and forgot about it. That shit is so useless it's incredible, it uses more space than all my other ads together (i used the $$$ option, which promised to pay the most) and would average on about $1 a day. Adsense does about $50 a day on the same site, even if they pay worse than adsense (expected) that's 50 times as much.

Edit:// I did not had this happen to me, did you may click on the email they send to join the beta? That has automagically automated it for me as well some time ago.
I've got a feeling that what the author describes already exists, just not on the same level. And those solutions have problem in common - not everybody wants to use that solution.

Specifically: puppet, chef, salt, juju, heat and others will happily deploy your application (container or not) and provide you with a generic interface for it. Docker is just one of the tiny building blocks here. They'll either check the model before doing anything or will check if it works by trying. Types or not, the system for implementing those interfaces exists.

But every month there's another configuration / orchestration / deployment system coming out. Some will use it, but it will only worsen the fragmentation. I feel like it would either have to be built into docker and enforced at that level, or it would be yet another system that 99% of operators doesn't use.

I fail to understand the hatred towards HOAs, I swear that most people simply parrot what they have heard before and the story just reaches legendary proportions and becomes accepted as fact.

HOAs also protect quaint neighborhoods from becoming chain link fenced over grown slums too. They can protect some older homes from being razed or having a 6k square foot home replace a 1.5k house on the same lot. The can protect you from neighbors who won't maintain their homes, leave disabled cars out, and generally just make a neighborhood annoying. They are very little different from building management groups that keep people from making the high rise you live in hell.

Yes there are some bad ones but you can usually predict those by simply talking to people in the prospective neighborhood. Also read the HOA and architectural guidelines of any place that has them you look at, when it gets into details about what can be planted, ground cover, and down to the type of pine bark/straw use there is, well that is an indication you will have HOA Nazis.

Given what I have seen with subdivisions that ended their HOAs or didn't have them I would keep them in any small lot setup (once you pass an acre HOAs become less relevant as your neighbors are less noticeable)
This is how I've been describing docker to people and also how I've been using it. It's why, when I need a specific version of elastic search or Postgres i just run the tagged service.

It turns any binary into a more portable executable.

Great post!

I think this point of view is a bit exaggerated. For example, 1% of the world's USD billionaires live in Sweden. (More billionaires per capita than e.g. the US.) If you walk around in Swedish cities (at least the major cities) it’s not really hard to tell that some citizens are a lot more wealthy than others. I’m not sure about the other Nordic countries but I would guess the situation is similar in at least Norway and Denmark.

[Edited to add more ”meat” to the comment.]
Fallingwater does look nice. And completely different than anything built before. You get aesthethics and novelty in single punch.

Then we had every architecture student and their dog doing something bit similar. Some of that stuff got pass because of Fallingwater is nice. But most are hideous.
This paper and the "Do things that don't scale" one are regular "must read" from Paul Graham.

To make a startup successful, this is necessary but definitely not sufficient.

From my experience, location is also key; may be to t attract early adopters or customers but to meet interesting and engage with valuable investors. Who you know is as important as what you know.
Repealing prop 13 would provide the cash needed to build more housing and infrastructure.

Landowners in SF are going to hate any effort to deal with the housing crisis because they profit so handsomely from it. They'll fight any attempt to fix it tooth and nail - with lobbying, bribery, public relations, etc. That's what the Howard Jarvis Taxpayer's Foundation and prop 13 was all about in the first place.

Really, the only solution to that is to single out the leeches and demonize them until they stop. There's no way they will ever be on our side and there's no way they will stop fighting while they still have the power to protect their entitlements.
I appreciate the basic idea, but I think the identification of containers with "function calls" seems more confusing than helpful. It's strange to think of, say, a running Redis instance as a "function call."
> Linux desktop development seems to have gone off the rails thanks to that thing.

It started earlier. KDE3 used to be great and very Windows-like desktop experience on Linux/*BSD. Then they choose to rewrite KDE and make it more like OSX, the illfated KDE4 and its slow XML KBus trainwreck followed and burned the KDE platform. Many users switched to Gnome 2 which barely got useable with less features than other desktop platforms. Then the whole Tizen (Intel, Nokia, Samsung, ...) debacle with multiple UI frameworks competiting instead of focusing the resources. The whole thing is dead, beside Bada/Tizen is used in Samsung SmartTVs and SmartWatches and waiting in sleep-mode as backup strategy in case Google changes direction with Android. Then Gnome changed direction and rewrote Gnome with Gnome 3. Many users now switched to distributions that forked Gnome 2 like Mint or replaced it with a Gnome 2 like experience (Ubuntu).

What a sad desktop experience there is nowadays. For desktop experience I favor Windows 7 UI theme or Windows 2000 classic UI, or previously KDE3 (is there a up-to-date fork?). macOS and Ubuntu are okay too. For touch Android 5+ and iOS 6 have the best UI in my opinion.

Sadly many have lost their way and alinated their userbase with illfated design decisions (Win8/10, WinPhone7/8/10, KDE4, Gnome3, Tizen). I am looking forward to the new OS from Google, called Magenta/Fuchsia.

And nowadays the browser is like a second OS and Chrome with its simple UI is great. I dislikevthe weird round tbs in Firefox. IE11 was fine too, but MS lost its way. The Win10Store and XBoxOne are failing and have comparable little marketshare - several former exclusive titles now get released for Win7+ and on Steam as well - good that people aren't dumb, and MS evil strategies failed. Now they need a new CEO who axes and fires the people responsible for the last 5 years. Create a Windows 11 without privacy issues and a nice UI that can changed to look like Win classic and 7.

That's cool! I see there's a lot of fun things already in. But also it seems like something the author didn't want. Nixos containers are explicitly whole system according to the documentation ("This command will return as soon as the container has booted and has reached multi-user.target.") rather than a single app.
Have you also taken a look at fresh https://github.com/pilu/fresh ?
https://apiblueprint.org/tools.html# lists a couple of testing tools. There are also tools that work with the Swagger/OpenAPI specification https://github.com/jolicode/jane-openapi
If I remember correctly Postman can export test cases as well, so building a service that runs those should be possible, similar to saucelabs.com/selenium.

Same as the response to arianvanp. Looks good. But isn't this mostly about system in a container rather than one app (binary + deps)?
Yes, cfront could be considered a transpiler, but the term wasn't coined back then.

IRs, ASTs and bytecodes are not programming languages. If you insist otherwise because "some might consider it that way", you have no business criticizing the use of words, to be honest.

There are textual representations for these things, but even then people rarely program in those (LISP being an exception). Assembly language is a textual representation for humans to read and sometimes program in. If you have some program that actually translates to assembly language as a target, by all means, call it a transpiler if you want.
I'm a systems design engineer so there was no way I'd use Excel for ODE solving unless I had no other choice. Matlab and Maple are the two languages I know best, but I'd also consider Fortran, Octave, Python, or Scilab for something like that, with C++ probably last (C++ for numerics is a pain since you have to convert between different packages for basic types like matrices and vectors). I'd probably also consider Julia, but I'm not that familiar with it yet. I had hopes for Fortress, but that died a quick death.

I've been a part of the SymPy team for several years including mentoring GSoC for two of those years.

The problem with SageMath is that you still have to convince people who are familiar with Excel to learn a new environment. Part of the reason why Excel is taught to the undergrads in that civil engineering program is that they use it in their co-op jobs. It becomes a self-perpetuating cycle since they don't learn any alternative as students so they go with what they know in their jobs.
They don't need the internet the most - they need subsidy the most. At least, if you make the assumption that rural area = lower population density = higher installation cost per capita = expensive or nonexistent service = bad.

Of course, by the same logic city apartments should have excellent internet service because of the low installation costs. I gather this is not always the case, so the assumptions above over-simplify the issues somewhat.
I forgot to mention that I use the abovementioned setup on a dedicated server, while also setting up a secondary MX dns record for bouncing the mail in case of malfunctioning as sister comments suggested.
It's really going to depend on what you're doing with the graphics. As soon as you start emulating basic shaders for effects on the CPU by comparing and writing to a screens worth of pixels you'll see where the bottleneck ends up.

On the other hand if you're wanting to make something with the graphical complication of Mario or Mega Man ( purely sprites - no effects - lighting and other things maybe done with alpha blending ) then you might find it makes sense to stick to working with the CPU.
That's not the case, to a large extent, in California, thanks to Proposition 13.

The longer a property is held, the lower its assessed value relative-to-market. In cities with buy-an-hold populations (and Palo Alto tends to resemble this), that means a large part of the assessible property value is severely underassessed.

Mind: this means that surplus value of urbanisation goes to the property owner rather than to help provide city services.

The double-whammy is actually the opposite of what you suggest, and may well be a triple:

1. Prop 13 keeps property taxes down, meaning ...

2. There's an additional upside (and less downside) to inflating property values and ...

3. There's growing opposition to providing new and higher-density housing, as this would remove pressure from housing prices, and leave existing homeowners with a lower property value, itself useful for loan collateral, HELOC, etc.

Knowing long-time California natives who've been chased entirely out of the state, I'm starting to think the situation may become untenable. Or, perhaps, it's one more in line of economic population displacement, which began with Spanish missionaries displacing the aboriginal natives, American Anglos the Mexican successors to the Spanish, and now various new money, some domestic, some foreign, chasing out the 1950s - 1980s immigrant class, at least from the Bay Area.

Product Management is what most of our graduates end up doing, but they're usually doing it in software jobs. That said, we have a number of patent and IP lawyers come out of our program and a lot of people go into medicine or biomedical. The latter since we have a dedicated biomedical option as we have a number of faculty in that area.

Personal anecdote: I've experienced worrying about finishing project so that my two employees would still have a job next month and so that people who invested their personal savings in the project would get at least most of it back. I have also experienced worrying about getting next check as a freelancer supporting a family.

The latter was far worse – even though I knew we had a family safety-net.

I think it's reasonable to have more sympathy to problems of people struggling for well-being of their own family than "it's lonely at the top" kinds of problems.

Thank you for this. I would like to have read this, especially since I'm on vacation in Hokkaido now, but unfortunately your "clever" right-side table of contents overlaps the actual content on my iPad Pro running the current iOS. So, it's impossible to read the last 10-15% of each line, especially once the TOC expands to most of the height of the screen.

Please give a less "clever" and more traditional UI.

Thanks!
Things like the atmosphere, food web, water cycle etc. are fundamentally different than ownership of physical objects or even land. They are not confined to a particular place, and being fundamentally diffuse transactions and interactions with them are not obviously subject to singular control. Even if you break them down into components the bookkeeping and transaction cost is far too high.

Saying that they're not market failures says more about the narrow definition of "market" than about the workings and evolution of capitalist systems (including both visible systems like farms and factories and invisible systems like laws and power structures).

This is no different to use of grids and rhythm in web design. These are not arbitrary pseudo-scientific rules imposed by snobbish architects and designers. They're rules of thumb that have been developed over centuries, because they work. It's helpful to have terms of art to describe them. You can certainly break them, but to do that you should know them, and know why you're breaking them. That's why he's said these same rules don't apply to modernist or post-modernist architecture. The examples here are trying to copy a style without understanding what makes the style. They're taking superficial "Georgian" (etc) details and randomly slapping them together. That's why they look so ugly.

No owner of an oil company wants to live next to a refinery. No owner of an auto plant wants to live next to the plant. In the Industrial era, owners wanted to live far away from where the work was done because it was ugly and polluted. This created the suburban pattern and cheap housing close to work for workers. This is basically Oakland.

Rich Tech entrepreneurs, executives, highly paid programmers, and VCs want to live close to the tech "factory" and they want it to be a nice place. They don't care where everyone else who works there lives, just as long as they don't screw up their nice neighborhood with excess traffic, pollution and density.

It's as simple as that. All this stuff about economic policy and zoning laws and the general decline of western civilization is a whole lot of overanalyzing, IMHO.

Tim Cook: 'Apple could unlock iPhones, but won't'
My problem about the one liners is not the introduction of new symbols so much as it's the application of many functions on the same line.

experienced devs may have some talent reading more complicated expressions. It doesn't remove the fact that the expression requires many mental steps to visualize, and that for each of these steps, even an experienced dev may slip.

An example of this is function assembly. When you combine elusive function naming (because we like math, right ?) with assembling of a dozen functions to define a new function, you definitely have a readability problem.
I think 42 is right: people can become good software engineers, even if they suck at university studies. CS studies were elitist, with math prerequisites: now they're more open.

"of course it will be extremely difficult to catch up in compsci for someone without a scientific bac but he can try": universities are subjectively making this hard. 42 fixes it.

That's fine. It's impossible to read every article. I regularly upvote submissions in /new that sounds interesting in the sense of "I'm not an expert, but this should make an interesting discussion" or questions in /ask that I can't answer myself. Usually I do click to make sure the submission isn't too short or linkbait. With stories on the frontpage I regularly upvote after reading comments without touching the article. Overall the voting system seems to work, I won't claim wisdom-of-the-crowd, just that on average enough care is taking place.
