Great question, I'm sure there are multiple models possible. One complication is that our priority for next few years is to grow as fast as possible. This means that you're not making a profit but investing back in more growth.

Since we took outside investment that period is about 5 years. Without outside investment it will take longer, maybe 10 years. Many potential hires don't want to wait that long. They might wait 10 years but only if you get a substantial windfall at that point, not the first small profit share.

Partnerships are more common at consultancy and finance firms where labour generates direct profits. I think they are less suited for product firms where the labour comes years ahead of the revenue. A liquidity event is a great way to bring the 'windfall' forward.

Of course things are not black and white. We choose a 4 year vesting period https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/stock-options There are startups now doing 6, 8, and 10 years. We didn't have a good reason to deviate from the norm, so with our vesting time we stuck to what is usual in order to be an attractive employer and hire the best executives.

Good questions. I'm afraid the documentation is seriously out of date about the GC: It used to implement a variant of "trial deletion" so that "never scans the whole heap" used to refer to the fact that it doesn't use traditional mark&sweep, but only scans the subgraph(s) leading to the cycles. Of course you can always create a "subgraph" that spans the whole heap, so even for trial deletion it is a dubious claim.

Since version 0.14 (iirc) however, Nim uses a traditional mark&sweep backup GC to collect cycles. Reasons: Trial deletion in practice is much slower.

For all versions of the GC is stack is scanned conservatively as precise stack scanning is simply too expensive when C is your main target.

Ask HN: Where can I learn about all these words?
Hi,

I am an experienced solo entrepreneur and self-taught Rubyist. I don't have any college education on the subject and I've never been surrounded by people who speak the language.

I'm wondering where/what book I should pick up to understand all these fancy terms. Off the top of my head I can't remember what terms specifically, but I'm sure you guys know what I mean.

I learn best with actionable examples rather than a bunch of buzzwords.

Edit: some words... domain layer, "layer" in general I suppose, domain logic, business logic (okay I know this one), service objects (okay I know this one too), stuff like that. I'd also love to learn about things like "when to use constants" and things.
Given the size I expect a lot of stuff is integrated. The first thing you'd want to upgrade is the CPU anyway, since that is by far the slowest component in this setup.

Nevertheless, I really like the thing for its other specs. I'm also impressed by the specs you get for that price at that size.

You seem confused. The free market is that where monopolies don't bully to limit choice (and thus freedom).
Code itself tells a story. If the message is clear it can be built upon later by making it better based on new learnings, or new product needs. If it is a messy piece of crap it is better to be forgotten.
That's a personal problem. Don't blame the tooling for a bad coworker.

As long as a change or refactoring stands independently of the intended feature change, there is often value in keeping that fine-grained version history. It replicates your thought process at the time in the history messages, gives more manageable git-bisects, etc.

If you can't reliably look at the modified files and pick out what changes stand independently then this approach is obviously not for you, or at least you're gonna need some help from your tooling.

TeamCity has the concept of a 'delayed commit' that is submitted as a patch and tests are run. If the tests fail the patch is not accepted. You can also do a ghetto version of this in any system just by running a local copy of your CI server. Push to its repository target and have it run the tests. If it works push it out to the real build server, if not then there's no problem just force-pushing an amended commit since everything is still local.

Alternately you can commit the independent changeset and then stash everything else and run a build/test.

Obviously you can't always pull out an independent changeset and in those cases you should commit the whole thing at once. But a lot of times it's not actually that difficult to identify independent steps that could be built/tested independently.
Any list that doesn't include Airwolf, tragically cancelled after 3 seasons (the 4th with a totally different cast doesn't count), is missing the mark.
The article is... Definitely longer than it needs to be. Aristotle's "final cause" - that a thing could be considered to be caused by the ultimate purpose for its existence; the beauty of art, as an example - is pretty interesting.

That said, I really just wanted to link some interesting thinking / writing on time travel, that treats it pretty well:

- Primer (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0390384/)

Probably the most popular. Engineers accidentally invent time travel, and then VERY CAUTIOUSLY begin to experiment. Takes more than one viewing to follow. Something resembling multiversal-style TT.

- Time is Like a River (https://www.fictionpress.com/s/3138462/1/Time-is-Like-a-Rive...)

A little girl discovers she can time travel, but cannot make paradoxes, but can still make choices... Although the writing itself is not the best, the gradual exploration of the ability - how to use it, what is possible - is incredible. Single timeline, zero paradoxes, uses something like self-reinforcing probability as the underlying "rule"

- Continuum RPG http://www.aetherco.com/continuum/

"The universe doesn't prevent paradoxes, people do". An attempt to make a playable single timeline, zero paradox, time travel RPG. The underlying reality is extremely well thought out, presenting reasonable ways for such a universe to function, although sacrifices are made so that humans can actually successfully play the game.
This is my thought also.

I don't know the details, but I doubt this is true. In this case, correctness was "in the eye of the beholder" simply because they decided that the code is the contract. But when you formally verify, you can specify a set of safety properties, each usually very simple, and expressed in a line or two. Of course, you could miss a critical property, but it's very likely that you'd add at least some sanity properties that would catch most heists like this (e.g., "no more than 2% of the money can end up in the same account", or something like that).
Scanning the Lunar Module would be slightly more difficult.

The lower half of Apollo's 11 LM (the "descent stage") was left on the surface of the moon at the landing site, and the upper half (aka "ascent stage", which rendezvoused with the Command Module) was jettisoned and left to crash back on the surface of the moon. The exact current location of the ascent stage, however, is officially "unknown".

It depends on what you are using the CPU for. For someone like you and me, running IDEs and doing heavy web tasks, this is probably not good enough.

For running spread sheets, face book, and youtube this is more then enough.

No. I think it doesn't matter to them until it becomes the majority platform (not that that's any less stupid).
I remember seeing arguments like this in the 90's.
The very foundational paper for zero knowledge did not have much to do with attacks. Similarly for many many subsequent works.

Similarly for MPC. Most work in MPC is about improving efficiency or proving security against stronger classes of adversaries; it is not in finding breaks of these protocols.

As I said earlier, tye majority of crypto research is in the following scenario: pinning down a battle-tested assumption, using that assumption in a provably secure manner to construct new systems. zero knowledge, MPC, ORAM, etc. all fall within this paradigm.

Constructing new assumptions is obviously a task where attacks are necessary, but new assumptions come along every 5-7 years; the intervening period is dominated by this black box use of assumptions.

EDIT: see this[1] listof most cited security and crypto papers; very few attack papers.

I very much believe this is the case. The unjust-world hypothesis, if you will. The more we realize this is happening, the better.

As I've commented before, the trouble with Etherium contracts is that they're Turing-complete executable code. You don't need or want Turing-complete contracts. Contracts should have been something more declarative and more readable, such as a decision table.

I used to obsess over muscle mass back in college and that being "all natural." Creatine and citrulline malate? I black listed them in my quest, and my personal experience is that these are not needed for the goals stated in the article. I also did not use protein supplements, but then again I had access to an all you can eat cafeteria with sufficient variety to support a (mostly) healthy protein rich diet.

A disciplined training program and diet got me what the article promises (over 20 lbs of muscle mass and significant strength gains) without buying any supplements. I can't remember how long it took, but it wasn't that much longer than 3 months. As long as you're not going for the unusually bulked up look, a disciplined training program and diet will get you where you want to be.
>, but it's very likely that you'd add at least some sanity properties that would catch most heists like this (e.g., "no more than 2% of the money can end up in the same account", or something like that).

And then new Solidity programming code that moves 1.9999% of the money into a single account gets passed. The hacker who exploited the 2% threshold to his advantage thinks it's formally verified as "correct." The people who "lost" their money thinks it wasn't "correct."

Add new verification "rules" in an attempt to close a loophole, wait for the next exploit. Rinse and repeat.

Solidity programming code all by itself can't serve as the ultimate authority for smart contracts.

Cloud Computing Weekly Digest with Joe Kinsella: October 1
They don't call margin "margin" because they market their app to people who don't know what they're doing. People who know what margin is will understand what they mean by "extra buying power", but an investing novice with $500 will have no idea what "margin" is.

That said, it's scary to think they're giving margin to people who don't know what margin is - I hope they try to properly educate them on the risks involved.

> If your theory stands true, then how come that overall, the global economy is growing? Doesn't it mean that we've created more jobs that we've destroyed?

The number of jobs does not correlate to GDP growth [0]. So whether "the economy is growing" is not terribly related to whether jobs are being created. This is somewhat puzzling under Adam-Smith-Wealth-of-Nations ideas about economics, but it's an empirical fact.

> Technological disruption is not new. It's been around forever.

You seem to be misunderstanding the argument; I'm not arguing for something new. I'm arguing that negative effects of technological shock are well-attested in the historical record: you can look back at historical data and plainly see them.

Every system has prejudices and biases.

I'll take a system that has less prejudice, but first show that it actually is less prejudiced in practice.

Non-human systems "bake in" and automate the biases of the creator of the system, and it is very hard to create a system that isn't full of preconceptions, misunderstandings, and bad data.

What the first example lacks in detail, the second example lacks in clarity. Perhaps in context the second example could be understood, but it seems counterproductive to avoid using phrases like "contradicted by evidence", which at least let us know what the goal is for an argument that follows.

Again, perhaps context would make the second sample more clear, but it was provided as a writing sample free of context.
