State so on your documentation/page before telling the user curl | bash, as I wrote in another post here, that is nice.

Your script does not support transactionional installations, as it is it can break at any point in the script and leave the target system broken/dirty. With a simple PKGBUILD youd also have solved the "binary ABI" part. If it really is tedious to coordinate with several distros, you can take a shortcut and dont deliver a "pkgspeed-for_nginx_module-1.2.3@v1.2" package but instead a "pkgspeed-1.2.3" which conflicts with the normal nginx package and thats it.

Neither have we experienced a true AI, and none of the gains in the last 50 years have brought us anything near it, only more advanced computing ability and "trick" AI.

We just assume technology will improve exponentially based on an extremely small sample size. Has it never occurred to us that the technology curve may horizontally asymptotic as opposed to exponential?

The ICE was an amazing piece of technology that grew rapidly, from cars to military warplanes, to our lawnmowers. Yet we can not make them much more efficient or powerful without significantly increasing resources and cost. If you judged the potential of the ICE on the growth it had then, we'd be living in an efficiency utopia now.

I met Garry while he was a part-time YC partner during S11. Office hours with him were always helpful and productive. He gave thoughtful product feedback, facilitated countless fruitful introductions, and helped us navigate fundraising and an acquisition. He’s laid back, easy to talk to, and doesn’t bullshit or play games. After YC Initialized invested a small amount in us and he continued to be one of the most value-add investors we had. I can’t stress enough how much value these guys bring to the table. I’d be honored to work with them again.

> orchestras specializing in older music may sometimes tune in the tuning close to the one for which the piece was originally written, which may range from 415 Hz to 470 Hz).

I can say as someone who performs a lot of Baroque music (c. 1600 - 1750) that there is a relatively common standard of A=415 for music of this period. A=415 is often referred to as "Baroque pitch."

This mainly applies to ensembles that specialize in Baroque music, and use historical instruments. If you see your local symphony orchestra play Bach on modern instruments, they will probably play at A=440.

I have never performed at a pitch higher than 440. I'm sure it happens sometimes, but I think it's more of a niche thing.

> I really do think that software engineering damages you emotionally and mentally. The best software engineers that I know also the most cynical people I know - All atheists, nihilists and pessimists.

Although I don't disagree with your statement regarding emotional consequences, I would argue that these personality traits are just as likely to be a predictor of someone that ends up becoming a software developer, rather than a side effect of doing the job for a number of years.

I can definitely speak for myself having been an atheist, nihilist and pessimist for quite a bit longer than I have been a software developer.

If you read my comment i was referring to mac desktops, laptops were a separate point in a discussion. Nevertheless you are comparing 3 year old Mac Pro with current PCs, at the time when Mac Pro was released it was on par with PC systems that costed around 3000$ as well.
It is a dupe but there are also more follow up articles on it.

When I was reimplementing the Classic MacOS Toolbox for a similar Macintosh Classic emulator, I encountered the same problem: documentation and knowledge is gone. And since the platforms (MacOS and Windows) still exist, it's hard to google for old information.

I can only presume, but I believe they meant they graduated with a 'main' major (possibly something technical, like engineering or CS, since we're in HN), but also double majored (i.e. also majored) in music.

Oh new age pseudo science. My mom loves this stuff and I never fully understood why. My sister gets angry at me when I point things out or level any criticism because "it makes her happy". This apathy to the issue from people who should know better is likely why nonsense like this keeps spreading in an age of Snopes and Google.

This. We build IoT devices and frankly, we are late shipping while we are doing heavy duty testing on FOTA. Happy to ship late to avoid being part of a botnet and to make sure we can improve our products over time. Depending on the complexity of the product, FOTA can be rather complex and I don't expect budget device makers that aren't particularly branded to bother.
On the subject, here's an interesting song that starts out at A432hz and makes its way up to A440hz by the end.

Hideaway – Jacob Collier
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v3zyPEy-Po

I did not explicitly notice this the first time hearing it, but I certainly felt it. When I discovered the change it made sense to me. The mood is lifted over the course of the song as the tuning is also lifted.

There are so many elements of music that are routinely varied within a song — dynamics, texture, timbre, rhythm, key, and tempo (though less frequently during this age of the click track). I don't think I'd noticed tuning used prior to this.
We'll add folks when everything clears through Kickstarter. Should be just a week or so after the campaign ends.

I think people are looking to closely at the first degree attack -- a trusted partner is pwned. If this is the case, there's far more interesting things an attacker could do. It's not too hard to envision a scenario where an attacker does not have access to embeded assets, but does have access to logs.

1. You include a script such a TypeKit. The typekit deliverable itself is not owned, but bad actors have access to typekit.com logs.

2. You use a smaller third party add on service that itself uses a logging service such as PaperTrail. PaperTrail is hacked, providing attackers access to logs.

3. You reference no external assets, but your site contains external links in the footer. Users click the navigation links rather than completing the form. You have leaked the token to whatever site that is. You are at the mercy of their log storage. YES, this does actually happen. User's click crazy things.

As I mention in the article and in other comments here: this is not likely to be exploited. Fixes, however, are not too difficult. Even adding the not-quiet-fully-supported `meta` tag to your head is a good start.

If I read this article today, I'd think, "That's interesting. let me make a note to check that out." It's not a hair-on-fire security situation, but it's not "not a problem at all" either.
No.

"I try to stay much less emotionally attached to the end-result".

Probably not. They're looking for companies with upside potential in the billions of dollars and game development doesn't really do that.

Unless you're aiming to build the next Unity or game dev/hosting platform, it's unlikely you'll get a Silicon Valley VC to invest in gamedev.
I had a job like this. Nobody wanted to do bug fixes except me. I was happy taking on that responsibility, and I was good at it, so I volunteered. I took on fewer Scrum tickets than others because I was partially allocated to bugfixes.

I think it's coincidence, but that was around the same year I stopped getting good raises there. I quit after a couple years of that and went to get get paid what I'm worth. I still think it's because the new IT boss didn't like me. I was the only one that would stand up and say when a new policy was stupid. Still, I can no longer rule out the bug-fix thing, after reading your comment.
I see your point. What does your test suite look like? Are tests run before pull requests are merged? Automated testing, and gating merges on tests passing, would push the responsibility back to those breaking functionality.
I didn't say they would, but I think that the person you're accusing of patriotism did.

> confirmable

But were they indeed confirmed? This is the problem that keeps cropping up. Sometimes I wonder if believing in findings from the psychological literature isn't a disadvantage. Knowing about them is good -- you can pick up on the chumps who actually believe them. But believing them?

It's not at all clear to me that uncritical acceptance of these studies is ever a good idea. The response of senior investigators shrilly decrying "methodological terrorism" when their small-sample findings fail to replicate does little to increase confidence in said findings (or, indeed, the field as a whole).

nb. In no way is this confined to psychology. It's just more rampant there, to judge by the foundational manner in which the field has been shaken up. Nobody doubts that PCR works or that iPSCs can be induced, because the experiments to replicate the results are relatively trivial. But the nature of psychological research seems to make such exercises very difficult, to the point that individuals "take it on faith" that an effect is real (as opposed to assuming it's wrong and running a quick experiment to show that the next year or two of their life won't be wasted). Maybe we're just more cynical in bench-based disciplines?

The New York Times Buys Wirecutter, Sweethome for “more Than” $30M
I have met some very competent musicians who have found 432 tuning to be powerfully effective. When I dug into this, I discovered they were tuning the other notes in the scal to frequencies in whole numbered cycles per second, using tables being passed around. So the real change was in the qualities of intervals; many of these became far more resonant than the compromised resonant qualities we get with equal tempered tuning. This trade-off was once well known in the musical world, but it is now long forgotten. I consider "432" to be a symbol that suggests the restoration of forgotten methods for tuning scales, rather than a literal value to be used to proportionally change the frequency of every note.
Definitely agree with this. Here's hoping that with the Time's extra resources they will be able to keep more up to date.

> Hey, Toyota, we found a couple of bugs in your code, namely 7134 MISRA standards violations, recursion, 740-string long function and 9000 global variables

Why is recursion a bug? Recursion is not just a bug just because it's not as efficient for some problems. Most of the time the compiler will optimize out the recursion.

>740-string long function

What does that even mean? Are they talking about the length of the function in lines? If so that's not horrible depending on what you're doing. No it's not ideal but if it works and it's correct it's not inherently a bug. It entirely depends on what's going on in the function.

Edit: Reading more there are even crazier complaints. Nested "/* */" comments are considered a bug. What the hell?

Also using a Macro-like function is a bug? That makes no sense. If you've got something that really doesn't need to be a function it's fine to put it into a macro. For instance

#define GET_LSD(number) (number % 10)

This just gets the least significant digit. Should this be a function? I don't think so. Using a macro lets you see why you're modding by 10.

Continuing onward... the use of "continue" is a bug. That doesn't make any sense.

Then we get onto the rule of 10 rules.

> Do not use dynamic memory allocation after initialization.
> Give all loops a fixed upper-bound.
> Limit functions to no more than 60 lines of text
> Use minimally two assertions per function on average

How the hell do you avoid allocating memory? How the hell do you poll sensors and send a value onto a CAN bus without a while (true) loop? Is a function with 70 lines not allowed? Use two assertions per function, what?
We'll see. Sometimes it's a bunch of hype and horseshit too.

Apple can provide most of the consumer services on the devices without external services. There's a risk that they cannot execute, but there's a real risk to the Google approach too -- swaths of the business can be wiped out by regulatory action.
Censorship is a really concerning problem, with no obvious solution, when more and more of our communication is published by privately owned third-parties. The other frustrating thing is that this so often happens, and we don't even get a response from the censoring party. I know there is no expectation of free speech on a private platform, but it's still a serious social problem when everyone voluntarily publishes there anyway.
So there must be a law:

1. Any device with internet access must be able to automatically update all its software.

2. Because a manufacturer can either go out of business (some devices are used for >10 years) or not care about its users, all its software must be open source. A code, which needs to be secret, can be stored on a hardware level.

3. But if a software is open source, it doesn't mean there would be people who'll fix the bugs, therefore there should be the list of OSes approved (by a regulator and EFF?) to be used on IoT-devices. The development of these OSes should be public (on GitHub, etc.). By having ~10 different OSes instead of a million, solving bugs would be possible and much easier.

4. By having such list of approved OSes, we also solve the problem of having a vulnerabilities in the updating process, e.g. missing signatures, using RSA-1024 or even RSA-512 for signatures.

5. By having such list of approved OSes, it'll be easy to maintain the live kernel patching service (in the future it'll be hard to imagine an OS without it).

6. By having such list of approved OSes, community would quickly fix the problem of using default passwords.

Without such law, expect 10 Tbit/s attacks in a year, and >500 Tbit/s attack in 2022 (if popularity of IoT would increase as fast as mobile phones did).

Apple also did a fair share of evil things, but it managed to be viewed as cool rather than evil.

However, it is obvious that we are talking about subjective things here, and establishing causality is certainly not easy.
I'm curious you think it is "obvious"? I've never heard anyone say this of Ive until now with your comment.

Jobs did make sure Apple has no power to ever get rid of Ive for any reason, ensuring him an unbreakable tenure. However, to me, it's far more obvious that he will never take on the CEO role because I think he's prepping to retire from Apple in the next few years as there's a reason we've been seeing less and less of him over the past few years, with his strong desire to move back to England with his family and so on.

The only two people that's more obvious to me is Williams and Schiller but I don't think Cook is going to be gone for another decade.

Thousands believe that Dick Cheney is guilty of war crimes, but as far as I know, no one has tried to kill him yet.

I've seen several references to the "replication crisis" in social sciences. Are there any prominent studies that have been replicated reliably? I'm just curious to look into them.
Although I agree with the general ethos of what you're saying, rating systems have done rather poorly in Capitalistic societies int he last ten years. The BBB and everything on Wall street come to mind.
I think that one of the baseline requirements for an internet connected device to be considered fully secure is automatic patching by the manufacturer, with a signature verification system for the patches. If a vulnerability is found, this allows the manufacturer to patch it out of shipped devices before it can be exploited, reducing the attack surface considerably.

This isn't perfect (especially if the signature mechanism itself can be exploited; hello attacker-patchable devices) but it's a start.

I'm curious to know if there is a specific market you are focusing on (in terms of target market, such as IoT, Security as well as regionally).

How would someone make the determination that you are the right firm to pitch to? How would they bend your ear? What's the best way to get your attention? I'm missing a lot of this from your site.
Fascinating stuff. I have never pondered the arbitrariness of musical tunings (probably because I am not a musician).

However, if these tunings and notes vary so much, what does it mean when one claims that they have 'perfect pitch'? Is it an ability that uses the relative distance between notes? That is, given an A they can identify the C?
> AIs generally dislike civs that are at war

That's the problem. It's like the devs saw "zero tolerance" in US schools and said "what a great idea for a diplomacy system!" Nobody wants that!

If an AI settles too close to my city and I declare war, other civs should be willing to acknowledge fault in the offending civ. Casus Belli is important! I don't want to manipulate/game edge-case bugs to get ahead of the AIs, I want functioning and rational relationships. Begging for gifts and friendship betrayals should be a possible surprise, not a "will happen every 30 turns guaranteed". It's not fun, might as well play a regular wargame.
I realize that you're talking about "quality standards", but depending on the industry, there are plenty of legally mandated software standards out there. You're likely to run into some of them if you haven't already:

- PCI / DSS
