I'm sure there's room for optimization in Gradle build process, but if build times and fan noise annoys you, a few tips:

- in my experience, it looks like gradle builds can make 100% use of all cores my CPU has. If you are working on Android projects day in and day out, it may be worth getting a CPU with more and faster cores, it will increase your productivity and pay for itself in a short time

- you can build a powerful, but virtually silent PC: big aftermarket CPU cooler, semi-passive GPU, semi-passive PSU, SSDs, no case fans.
Typical airplanes and missles have very thin skins, often of aluminum or titanium. Fairly easy to track, fairly easy to puncture. You also have time to carefully track, deploy, and fire.

Problem with hypervelocity weapons is that they have to be heavily armored and cooled just to survive the onslaught of air at mach 5 and above. You also are surrounded by a hot dense plasma, so much so that radios can't get through it.

So the power, tracking, accuracy, and compensation for radical differences in air pressure, air temperature, and related just to get to the surface which is radically stronger than your average airplane or missle.

Also note that there doesn't even necessarily need to be a big easy to set of bomb on said missle. Even a pure kinetic weapon can be pretty effective at mach 5 and up.

So certainly not impossible, but not going to be practical for awhile.

The future of humanity? The few and select Big Corp will own the infrastructure and technology and employ and sell it to reduce human labor as much as possible thereby creating massive value increases for the stock holders and displacing millions of blue collar workers into poverty. (In later stages also white collar workers). The execs will all be trillionaires and live off their own walled societies while the rest of us fight for our lives for tooth and nail. Eventually we can't even have a revolution since the goverments are owned by the Big Corp, which has manipulated and coerced the system into activities such as spying on their own citizens on the pretext of terrorism etc. Any act of revolution will be quickly and swiftly dealt with immediate force.

I am not going to buy a new computer just to make Gradle happy, when everything else works perfectly fine, including MSBuild, Ant and Maven builds.
Exactly. There's a reason multiple large IT companies have invested heavily in cloud services, and it's not so they can be in a market with hard to obtain profits.

In terms of why cloud services are becoming popular for their users, it makes things cheaper in the short term, and is a easier sell to management than on-premises resources. It's also useful for putting together solutions when you work in a company with overly restrictive local computing resources. However if you're looking to save money in the medium to long term, and you can find people you trust with server administration, then you're better off with on-premises (perhaps only keeping a cloud-hosted load balancer if you wanted to guard against unexpected spikes in network traffic).
typically not, once you use a virtualisation instruction on the CPU it cannot be passed to the guests.

Nested virtualisation typically uses emulation without hardware acceleration.

Wait, why do you think the state bar associations, their admission processes, and the requirements that attorneys pass them are bad?
I agree, that's why I don't use fragments at all and do all my multithreading in the way of communicating sequential processes: via BlockingQueue communication to hand-written background threads / services.

The trick with Android-development really is to acknowledge that large parts of the SDK are just crap and that you are better served writing custom code than trying to use it.
Well yeah a lot of unemployed textile workers did go into poverty or even starve to death at the time. I've read some speculation that the first industrial revolution was a net negative on society initially, and took many decades to actually improve the average standard of living. There was a reason people gathered in mobs to break the new machines. They were hungry.

But still the industrial revolution didn't really replace laborers. The machines were still quite limited, and humans were still needed to do the jobs machines couldn't do. What's different this time, is soon the machines will be able to do everything humans can do. Or at least everything an unskilled worker can do. Operating a machine in a factory, driving a truck, entering data into a computer, making phone calls, these are all things machine learning is capable of.

Lastly look at horses. The invention of trains would seem to have competed with them and taken many of their jobs. But instead horses vastly increased, because trains couldn't do everything horses could do. Then cars were invented, and the horse population crashed over just a decade.

Why did this happen? Didn't the invention of the train prove that automation doesn't take horse jobs? Shouldn't there always be new jobs for horses? Can't horses specialize in the 1% of tasks that cars can't do, like transportation in places without roads?

But that didn't happen. The cost of just feeding the horses was much higher than the cost of buying an automobile. There were some obscure jobs for horses left, but nowhere near enough.
Nate Silver arguably lost a good deal of "prediction calibration points" by placing a very low chance on Trump getting the nomination in the first place.
Re: Javascript, all the FSF wants is a bright line for libre JS and proprietary JS & choice for what users want to run, and the ability to substitute in alternative javascript to replace the closed source JS on most sites. We're basically in the same place as Mono (Silverlight) and Shumway (Flash) did/could have ended up, where sure the engine to run the code is libre, but the code itself is not, and worse yet it is not clearly licensed.

On firmware, the FSF has drawn a bright line on where hardware ends and software starts, and where they've drawn it is on whether firmware on device can be updated or not. If its not updatable, its a piece of hardware, plain and simple. If its updatable, then it is software, thus said code should be freely licensed and not Tivoized.
A short search pops up this Catepillar D7E Electric Drive Dozer. Still diesel powered, but the drive train is fully electric. 'The engine is a turbocharged diesel—a 9.3-liter inline-six that makes 235 horsepower'

At 235 HP that's similar to the Tesla Model S. Though being fair the Model S's motor operates at a fraction of that most of the time.

We are building a bit larger and more complex Android project, and every now and then just the Gradle part takes over 5 minutes for me. Just the Gradle syncing, before actually compiling anything.

I think it's Gradle getting somehow into knots and taking a while to resolve everything -- I've got a very beefy computer so it's not about processing power. Gradle is just ridiculous.
My post wasn't to be about Emacs, but let's give it a try. I'm happy to help.

Actually some of the things you mentioned are super awesome strengths to me.

1. key bindings. I understand your point and you are right. But hear me out^^

I'm using Emacs on the Mac and Linux daily. Sometimes I fire up Windows for some cross platform app. Those three OSs have usually different key bindings and would have so in a regular GUI tool. Not in Emacs, though. They are all the same. Muscle memory win^^ Plus, I changed _many_ key bindings in Emacs to that they work better for me - across all OSs.

2. Server mode. Hm, I'm not having an issue here, but I cannot say that with confidence, because I rarely shut down, I always suspend (closing the lid on the MBP).

3. Variable Width Font. Have no expertise here. I tried that once, but it messed with how the code looks aligned which seems important to me. Again, sorry, would love to help, but just don't have expertise in this.

4. Default settings. You're right spot on! This is not an accident, but on purpose. The reason is that they are General Text Editors opposed to most others. That means that could do anything if you teach them. The others can do specific things faster. This approach has served me well and I have huge configurations in VIM and Emacs. Now I'm actually doing everything in Emacs, Mail, writing Books, PDFs, Todos and so on. Of course you don't need that to get going. It's just awesome that you can continue to improve your main tool for ever and ever^^

I learned how to do these things by reading other people's config. If you'd like to look at my Emacs config, it has lots of prose documentation for other people to read: https://github.com/munen/emacs.d/blob/master/configuration.o...

I hope some of that was helpful. One more thing, it's OK if you only seem to vaguely get that VIM and Emacs are worth it. Took me a couple tries, too. Same with most things that are worth it. Like getting to know the right Woman^^

Simplest explanation - because a car can be taken on a private road(off road track, racing circuit) and driven as fast as you like. Yeah, you are not going to do that in a prius, but theoretically, you could.

All new cars in EU have to be limited to 155mph by law, but manufacturers are allowed to remove that restriction if you complete an advanced training course. So for example - mercedes will remove the speed limiter on your AMG vehicle, if you finish their advanced amg handling course.

Incremental compilation seems to be on for newest release of Gradle, but Android is still on 2.x due to the plugin.

For our project, the most time consuming part is... Packaging. Making apk splits is slow, why does it zip the whole thing again if it is just replacing resources?
I'm not talking about AGI at all! Just robot control. It's a difficult problem sure, but not that difficult. There has been massive progress on it, and related problems. I have no doubt we will have 'solved' it in at a decade.
GCE provides significantly more reliability promises to us, from the PoV of user - As far as I know, DigitalOcean and RamNode don't provide things like no-downtime host maintenance (hell, AWS doesn't provide that)

Interestingly, the "3 cores for 1 user acing one" would explain the pricing of "preemptible" instances - which can cost as little as 1/3rd of full instance. And the main difference is that they are fully rescheduled every 24h or more often, and there's no live-migration for maintenance...

… I am now wondering if GCE runs fault-tolerant VMs. Because if it does, holy moly

Because some tasks like autocompletion take a relatively long time. This leads to your editor blocking.
Last time I checked (I might be wrong), Atom didn't have default behavior of auto save and it made me to lose some work. Not that I am saying that this can't be the default behavior but that expectation should be cleared to the users.
Most cruise control systems come with a limiter as well though, so you can set a limit and then the car will never exceed it.

Also, no offence, but if you can't trust your kid with a car, then maybe you shouldn't be lending them it in the first place? Or get them a less powerful car for the start?

I'm curious...which President are you saying thought it was "all just black magic"? Let's also remember that Obama is the man that unapologetically expanded covert/illegal surveillance programs to an unprecedented scale, directly costing American technology companies billions of dollars in sales. I'd say his actions reflect neither intelligence nor understanding of the tech industry.
I'd take the overhead of a client-server architecture over the overhead of rendering the whole UI in HTML (electron apps) any time.

Also I think that the marshalling you need for IPC is not so different than the boxing and conversion that you have under the hood if you write in an interpreted language, e.g. Python or JavaScript.
maybe you're on a test server (no GUI) and for whatever reason you also don't want to remote debug with node-inspector, you want it all quick and dirty via ssh ;)

Python's "baked in" command line debugger that you get via `import pdb; pdb.set_trace()` is awesome for this kind of quick and dirty ssh debugging so if you're looking for inspiration on how node's command line debugger should work, check it out. I always miss python's pdb when working with JS or PHP or... anything else.

That's only because they didn't use recurrent neural networks which save information over time. RNNs make it possible to play games with hidden state. Deepmind is currently working on that with starcraft, which is vastly more complicated than pacman. They also have some work on 3d games like doom.

A few weeks ago there was a paper posted on "Synthetic Gradients" which should make it much more practical to train RNNs for games. Before it required saving every single computation the computer makes to memory, which uses a huge amount of memory and computation. Using synthetic gradients they need only store a few steps in the past. And it can learn online.
If it's just JSON, can't you do this:

> A software company employs infinitely less people than a manufacturing plant used to

"Infinitely less"? Would that be zero or -infinity? Either way, this is obviously wrong.

(I realize this was not your actual point, so I didn't downvote you)
So their office was a little bit too 'Mad Men' and they cheated a little on some regulations that seem like they should only apply to b2c relationships when Zenefits is b2b... yeah, I don't care.

If they broke laws I don't have a problem with any legal consequences they might experience, but it doesn't really affect my perception of Zenefits.

Likewise, as an example, Apple getting a $15B tax bill from the EU doesn't really affect my opinion of Apple. Seems like it was the right thing to do, but as a consumer it's just somebody else's problem.
Offer HN: I will build your MVP if you help me land a sale
I am an experienced Rails developer, and I recently launched a service[1] targeted at non-techie business owners to help them increase their revenue by building new products.

The issue I am running into is that there isn't a niche for "people that want to launch a new product that don't know they want to launch a new product yet". So it is hard to target.

Right now I am doing cold email, direct sales. As you can imagine, the response rate is very low -- not only because it is a cold email, but also because I am essentially creating a new market.

What you need to do is:
- Land at least 1 sale, with no spend.
- Help me build a repeatable process that will allow me to land more sales without you.
- The 2nd point has to be proven by you supervising me land a 2nd sale using that same process.

In exchange, I am prepared to offer you either:
- Development services equal to the value of 1 sale (sales start at $15K+).
- A fully developed MVP, where we both agree on a reasonable feature set to help prove your hypothesis. I have a lot of experience building MVPs, so I can help you with this.

The only caveat is that I don't do mobile apps, so it has to be a web app. Also, I won't come out of pocket for any expenses related to the development of your MVP (aka buying a template or paying for any on-demand services we need -- AWS, Heroku, etc.).

I am reasonable if you are reasonable.

I have experience building marketplaces[2][3], and many other types of web apps that do all sorts of third-party API integrations (from Stripe, Github, StackOverflow, Twitter, etc.). In general I have a decent amount of product (MVP) experience.

If you are interested, either email me at: marc+offer@mymvpblueprint.com or just reply here with your info for how I can contact you or any questions you may have.
