Hi, I know you started accepting hardware startups recently, I also realize you value teams that can iterate quickly. Having spent 18 months working to show that what the complex hardware product is feasible, my worry is that we would be seen as "slow" because in the software world , where I came from, 18 months is a lifetime. So my question is, do you treat hardware and software startups the same in terms of iteration speed?
Cheers!
Hmm, communities become less important as languages become more widely used. When was the last time you referred to the Java community, singular?

Likewise, there's not a single JavaScript community, but there's a bunch of communities around specific tools and frameworks. As you'd expect.

But I, when interviewing, expect good developers to be capable of learning new paradigms - the fact that they know nothing but node.js and node.js's ways is irrelevant, if they are capable of learning.

The author has very low expectations compared to me. And I don't feel I've been proven wrong yet by any of the hires I said yes to.
Find a weekly meetup or a place to volunteer (doing something different from your workday activities) once a week. You'll see the same faces over and over, get some social interaction, and develop a bit of comraderie, maybe even a new friendship or two.
> IPv4 loopback addresses are defined in Section 2.1 of [RFC5735] as "127.0.0.0/8".

Did you just assume IPv4? That's IPist!

Seriously though. IPv6 exists. And it has a different address and notation for localhost (::1). Which means that using an IP(v4)-address alone is not guaranteed to be bulletproof.

The only bulletproof way to ensure that you bind to a genuine loopback interface is letting the OS tell you which address that is. And for that you need a "localhost" hosts-file entry or equivalent.

Well I mean LuaTeX (in fact LuaLaTeX) is too slow to compile tex files. I'm using a Mac and it has SSD. a simple slides takes 5 seconds to compile, which is very slow compare to things like pdfLaTeX.

Nice! I'm very much in favor of this change.

I develop my webserver locally, and it has many subdomains. So I have "www.localhost", "files.localhost", "doc.localhost", etc.

I have to add each subdomain to my /etc/hosts file before I can use it, as you can't have wildcards in that file. And even then, if I type a new one into Chromium, it will try and redirect me to a Google search result, unless I prefix the whole thing, eg "http://doc.localhost/"; once I do that and it connects, then the Omnibar will match the actual localhost entry easily going forward.

This should help anyone in a similar situation of testing their server with subdomains on localhost.

Per http://suckless.org/rocks you appear to have guessed correctly.

Mixed feelings. Kodi itself is a completely legal bit of software and a great one at that but:

The videos sections of Kodi rely on you feeding it files. Yes there is free media and there's a PVR plugin but, they're not the main pull. The unspoken truth is people are downloading and ripping and feeding it into the app. You can see that reflected in the regexes that parse filenames.

The legal status of plugins like BBC iPlayer and YouTube are strongly debatable too; they're not official plugins and both services have snotty TOSes.

DVD/BR ripping is illegal in many countries (including the UK).

So one could argue Kodi has only ever really served pirates.

Kodi could also be better at protecting their trademark. Ebay is still FULL of people selling devices that sell Kodi as some sort of dark portal to an unlimited cinema. They have said they're starting to work on that but without much success in 6 months.

I think Kodi has to tread very carefully now. They're a couple of cases away from their name being dragged through the mud. Ironically, things that used Kodi's code (Plex, Boxee) have done much better at getting official support from content providers. They need that now more than ever.

Morning: 50 min on foot, or 35-50 min by bus. If the cops would just bother to enforce the parking lots^H^H^H I mean bus lanes it could be 25-30 min consistently.

Evening: 30-75 min by bus or half/half walking/bus. When it's long most of the time is spent waiting for a bus with a ridiculously infrequent and poorly thought out schedule, aggravated by bunching. (Poorly thought out as in two buses scheduled within 5 min of one another and then no buses for half an hour, repeatedly. It's mystifying.)

I completely agree that Bitcoin is an impressive achievement.

But I still fail to understand the attraction to corporates. By putting your blockchain in the Azure cloud, then you have a central point of failure? I agree it's an immutable record of everything that has happened (provided there's not a "hard fork" or over 50% of the resources owned by one participant, which is hugely possible with a small network) but immutable records are possible even today.
Honestly, the quote is a reflection of a distorted understanding of reality transposed over from utopian science fiction. The stars are incredibly far away, and are overwhelmingly utterly hostile to human life. The 'dirt' is one of the very few places in the galaxy, perhaps the only place, actually well suited to human life, and the ecosystems that support it.

If our understanding of fundamental physics is correct, there will never be an interstellar civilization of the sort that sci fi depicts. Only balkanized civilizations separated by many decades of travel. Within a solar system, no doubt interplanetary colonies will happen, but the conditions for life on other planets within our solar system are overwhelmingly harsh, difficult, and expensive.

Most of the work that needs to go into making either of those things happen will occur here on Earth. Although a Mars colony could help, if there was some economic imperative which could sustain and drive it.

> Lincoln kept him in charge even though civilians were haranguing Lincoln to remove him because they were appalled by the high death toll.

Most of the complaints started and ended with the Battle of Shiloh.

Grant was, by most accounts, a merely able tactician, but he did see the bigger picture, like Johnston probably did, while Lee did not. If the South had fought a purely defensive war and avoided decisive battles wherever possible, the North would probably have been forced to concede for political reasons. Grant fought so offensively and aggressively because he knew this. Lee really blew it from a strategic perspective, although to be fair, there were political pressures on him.

I'm also inclined to give more credit to Grant's tactical abilities than most, because, well, he did beat Lee on the field pretty handily.

I would also add that Grant felt the terms he offered Lee were what Lincoln would have wanted.
That's kind of a bold statement though. If tidal heating is in your opinion not caused by a gravity differential, you're going far beyond and outside the source you linked to, and I would like to hear what alternative you're proposing. The "conventional" explanation for tidal heating is that a body is being squeezed repeatedly, for which the changing gravity gradient I calculated does seem an appropriate measure.

The paper you linked to used eccentricity, whereas I used periapsis and apoapsis - it's the same thing mathematically. Not sure where this "clearly eccentricity is the key" thing comes from when I just told you that Io's orbit is nearly circular.

I do like the materials science aspect of the article you linked to in regard to taking rigidity of the body into account, but at a very basic level the problem remains that Io's orbital shape alone doesn't yield enough of a change over time to account for a lot of tidal heating - certainly not compared to Mercury.
>I wouldn't worry. We can actually Get Stuff Done, which at the end of the day is what really counts.

This is a myth. It doesn't count for that much. Programmer productivity cannot be effectively measured even by other programmers and certainly can't be measured by non-technical managers.

The fact that you are doing something can be easily verified. The fact that you are doing it effectively at an appropriate speed and quality cannot.

There's a lot more trust, salesmanship, snake oil and bullshit surrounding the development of software than most of us would like to admit.

To share me / and things that keep me up at night:

I am an old geek - (34 now - i guess)... I still need to work the 12 hour days in order to keep up with my day job AND to keep up with new technologies and the literature via Pluralsight, Github / HN / Coursera etc.

This is what I really worry about in terms of my health and longevity: Being able to "stay on top" of the latest trends and shiney new things - and deciding what will matter in 3 years, and what is just another "fad".
Part of this depends on where you are, if we're strictly talking about "old" in the engineer sense. 35 wouldn't be considered old in most parts of the country.

Unified unit testing of physical and IP video interfaces
The attitude is probably focused at the generality of human activity. So many important projects become domainated by personal rivalries and greed. The irony is that Musk has found a way to avoid exactly this kind of problem. Mars can act as a unifying mission that everyone can work towards. There is something more important than the individual that justifies the effort.

And it could inspire a whole host of companies that simply try and do X on Mars. And perhaps in the process we will learn how to do X better on Earth also. Because the unique constraints of Mars are an extreme version of the sustainability issues we face on earth. Humanity has to evolve to be independant of ecosystems that we will otherwise destroy.
React isn't a framework.
Pick any of them at random. Once you've got the hang of one of them, it will be easy (if necessary) to pick up another. Anyway, Angular and React will probably have been replaced by another generation within 5 years, so focus on the underlying skills and less on the syntax of a given framework.

This. The most tight knit people I've met are in military special operations: Nothing comes close to the combination of technical skills, teamwork and ability to mitigate "interpersonal friction" that those guys have, IMO.

The telling thing is: Not once have I heard these folks refer to themselves as a "family" - almost like it is an insult to what family really is (separate and sacred). Only have I heard them refer to themselves collectively as a "team" or a "community".

I owned my own studio and do video production from time to time still to this day (Video People your audio SUCKS learn how to use the RIGHT microphone and learn the term ON AXIS, rant over)

In the 90s as I was buying I actually was going to go with BeOS and had a Tascam DX2424 external hard drive recorder (Thing was awesome). Steinberg, as I was a week away from buying my first Apple computer, pulled the plug on BeOS applications. I went Windows NT Nuendo 1.0. 80% of the studios my size were all ProTools. I HATED ProTools and their hardware lock in.

After a while I kind of got a niche going and I would also work at mixing or engineering things at Apple based studios about once a month. I have always had the unfortunate luck of making every single Mac crash while I use them. I would speak about my frustration and the "Mac Guy" would shake his head and say I don't know as I would have to redo hours of work.

Later on in Video. I would be on Premier or Final Cut Pro and the same thing would happen where I was in the middle of hours long sessions and I would get some crash that wouldn't lose me work anymore but it got me out of "The Zone." If you ever did major video editing you know what that feels like. The Apple "crash" was different because sometime it would take a while to realize that while I have the video gui up what I was doing wasn't actually changing anything, or I couldn't grab a clip from a folder and import it OR the codex just isn't working so I can't see a preview and I would have to reboot.

I hate Apple software like Final Cut Pro because they use their own vocabulary. It was always not the standard vocabulary of the industry pre-digital nor what the other video/audio world was using.

Software Synths (Windows/Linux) seem to just work for me these days. My buddies swear with their Macs they can do the same things and then boom back to sampled sythns after a month or so due to "little issues" but they would never blame their machines or OS. I have noticed a ton more Windows in music performance the past year or two, but I really think that Linux could make a niche in live audio production a reality if the Native Instruments would provide a Linux port.

Non-Apple world is pretty ripe for Apple to lose massive market share like they are seeing the last 3 years in video.

I love driving. I love cars; the engineering behind them; the luxury; the design; high end ones are works of art by skilled craftsmen and very bright engineers.

And I 99% welcome self driving cars. Every single day on my short 5 mile / 10 minute commute to and from work, I see no less then someone cutting someone off; someone texting while driving / on the phone; someone slam on their breaks to stop for a yellow light; someone eating or drinking something, etc...

Humans are getting worse at driving. Distractions are everywhere. Young drivers are inexperienced; old drivers have slower reaction times and everyone in the middle is to busy worrying about what to do for dinner, or getting to their doctors appointment on time or whatever then to actually focus on the act of driving.

The 1% where I don't welcome self driving cars is when I'm out for a drive on any given Sunday in a nice sporty car and am driving purely for the thrill of driving. That 1% of the time, I want to be in control. I want to feel the road through the steering wheel; the sound of the engine and if weather permits, the breeze through the windows.

Every other time - on my way to work; grocery shopping; running errands - go ahead, drive me. But give me the option to take control when I want to.

As much as everyone says this is right around the corner, I still think a car driving itself will be limited to nice weather. No one has yet to address how a self driving car, drives, when theres 3 feet of snow on the ground, visibility is < 1000 feet and even lightly touching the breaks causes sliding. Not everyone lives south of the snow belt.
