> Usually these shit scripts fail when trying them out, for curiosity, in ArchLinux, Gentoo or Alpine Linux.

> Sandstorm.io looking at you.

That's hardly fair, since the reason the Sandstorm installer fails on Arch is because it explicitly checks for the presence of a required kernel feature, and Arch explicitly doesn't have that feature. The installer script fails intentionally because of the missing feature, not because it is badly written. Shipping an Arch package wouldn't have magically made Sandstorm be able to work without the required kernel features. OTOH, if you build a custom kernel that has the necessary features, the Sandstorm installer will run just fine on Arch.

(Coincidentally, we plan to lift this restriction this week, as we recently implemented an alternate sandbox design which doesn't require this feature.)

Software produces very little concrete benefit. It is largely used in derivative industries like marketing and finance in order to gain advantage over competitors. The only software that will result in general productivity gains is in control systems. Advancements in those are slower than they've ever been, simply because the low and medium hanging fruit has been picked, and we're down to a dependency on artificial intelligence methods to squeeze out more value. There's no particular reason that AI would be easier now than 60 years ago other than that transistors are infinitesimal and cheap and that data storage in massively dense and cheap, hence big data and an obsession with storing everything possible (which with no basis is presumed to have effective AI as some sort of emergent effect.) It has thus far not been very productive either.

Productivity is dropping because we can't just ride on the improvements in transistors any more. We are going to have to figure out ways to arrange society that will allow us to maintain output while reducing the drain on resources of the financial and marketing sectors themselves. They've become so massive that squeezing them could provide productivity gains for decades.

The only way that Ubers are more productive than taxis is due to the economies of scale created by monopoly. A person working multiple jobs through multiple marketplaces is far less efficient that someone working one job. If the metaphor is a multitasking operating system, you're disregarding the overhead of context switching. We're in a nadir of productivity.
Alexa is the perfect example of a product that could have been made by Apple but wasn't, and which ticks all those boxes.

And not just those. Apple's big strength isn't hardware, it's ecosystems. The hardware was always just a front end to a network of unique systems, markets, and services.

The latest Apple offerings seem to have forgotten that. Watch is primarily a shiny widget, not the thin client the iPod and iPad were. The latest Macs are heading in a similar direction. There are more services, but they're less appealing to users because the UI designs have become clunky, and there's no sense of forward momentum among many user groups.

With Alexa, Amazon has proved that it can play the consumer game too. Alexa includes links to content providers, links to hardware manufacturers, and links to other software services.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a crash R&D program to create Apple's own version of Alexa. (I would be surprised, but maybe not completely, if Siri Home appears on the 27th. I'm guessing next year is more likely and 2018 isn't impossible.)

But it may be too late. Amazon has a first mover advantage, and it can only drop the lead by allowing the platform to stagnate.

Amazon may well do that. Bezos seems to suffer from occasional new product ADHD, so he may not follow through.

But there's certainly huge potential to take Alexa much further, and if Apple is going to compete any R&D project has to aim for where Alexa could be three to five years from now, not where Alexa is today.

Which doesn't change the fact that Apple could have made Siri Home first. The hardware was always available. The only thing missing was Cook's lack of vision and drive.

"The notion that you can throw in with a campaign in this manner and expect people to act like this is somehow disconnected from every other part of your life, and especially your business life, is absurd."

Agreed. Throw in with a campaign or do anything else for that matter. Has there been anything from Peter Thiel on the response to his donation? I think it's highly likely he anticipated some kind of response to his donation. He may well have weighed this very response when making his decision to donate.
Yes, but you have to have that boilerplate every time you want them instead of them just being around. It's not fatal, but is annoying.
There seems to be some misunderstanding what is meant by "subsequent encounter" in this context. These are codes for office visits. "Subsequent encounter" means that a patient is not seeing a physician for the first time about their injury. There are also codes for "initial encounter."

I was referring to those in there for life (to protect society).

I don't see it as 'vengeance' if they aren't pampered. There is a broad range between gulag and the Hilton.

That being said, those who in short-term should have some environment suited for rehabilitation, which probably includes learning that "wow jail sucks, i will remember that next time before I punch someone". Obviously they should be given the chance for education and employment, but the latest Playstation games might not be a necessity.

The numbers are for the ice sheet dropping into the ocean and melting completely. So, it would be quite a while before you got the last 10% of the sea level rise.

The first 90%, on the other hand, could get there fast. I guess this would cause waves that travel at speeds similar to those of seismic waves (hundreds of km/hour). So, within a day. Also, the initial ocean rise would be higher than what it would be once the water has calmed down.

I agree that it sounds fantastic, but they've jumped into the muck before. For example, they removed Milo's verification checkmark just to punish him (I tend to think he deserved his eventual banning for violating rules, but it's strange to "unverify" him as a punishment -- seems petty). When certain hashtags (usually conservative) start trending, they are often missing from the autosuggest service. I find it really strange that Twitter does this sort of thing, but I don't have any other explanations.
I think you're focusing on a bit too narrow scope of improvements over traditional HDLs.

A few advantages include: sensible language design, strong types, ADTs, easier and much faster testing/debugging, easier formal verification, easier, more powerful, and safer parametrization, etc.

And yes, even if your clash degenerates to basically copying verilog (which it usually doesn't, in my experience) it's still much easier to read thanks to the richer types and ADTs.
It all works for me.
>Stocks and savings are equally a safety net against loss of primary income.

Until you have a 2007 collapse again (predicted by some to happen again soon), where you both lose your job and a massive amount in stocks. Savings have been at extremely low rates for a long period of time in the US.
Correct!

With a type of String @@ ISO-8859-2 everyone knows what a function expects. And if you depend somewhere on a String being ISO-8859-2 but everyone hands you in Strings of many encodings, you have hard to debug errors (b/c all main stream languages do not show you where your vars have been created or changed in the flow).

I have a smaller Scala code base to maintain (around 50k lines) and it is a breeze b/c many types are annotated, e.g. Money @@ Netto or String @@ InvoiceNumber. Beside Option this has been the greatest productivity gain vs. Java.

Statistics about Mobile in 2016 and Beyond
At the early stage this is always classically difficult. For both founders and early stage investors, you're balancing dilution vs. percentage ownership.

We think buying 5% of the company is the right level for a given seed fund. It's enough to be significant to return the fund, but not so much that you're crowding everyone else who you would want in the round. It takes a village to build a great startup and we particularly like to help founders put together a good syndicate of angels and seed funds, all of whom can help with advice, connections, customers, employees and just general support.

It's basically binary whether a company gets to metrics that help it either be profitable or get to a Series A— so that's why at the early stage (all the way to Series A really) most VCs work backwards from percentage ownership. So we write checks of as small as $300K for earlier companies at lower valuation, up to $1M or more for companies later stage.

It's enough to either get to the next milestone, or put together a good round. All of the real work happens after the raise, and it's usually a huge relief to founders to be able to get back to work.

I teach a corollary of this to my daughter (sans expletive): that most people know what decisions they should be making, and that these are mostly simple and often intuitive decisions, yet many people have difficulty making them because they usually involve a certain amount of discipline and/or sacrifice. Of course, I'm sometimes among them, but life's a work in progress.

I agree that this is a valid concern. And I do not trust the six-speed test to do the right thing here. See for example https://github.com/kpdecker/six-speed/pull/42 where the test claims to be measuring the speed of destructuring, but in Firefox the result is entirely due to the effects of destructuring on the engine's ability to eliminate dead code. While that is relevant to performance, all it means in the end is that if you destructure something and then pointlessly throw away the result, that it will run much slower than using an ES5 assignment to pull out the field and then pointlessly throw it away. It says nothing about actual code that destructures and then uses the result vs ES5 code that pulls out the field and then uses the result. And that PR was closed because it's showing up an optimization gap, and kpdecker wants to force vendors to implement optimizations -- which is fine, except this is an optimization for something that is irrelevant to production code.

This might just be an isolated incident, but it shakes my confidence in the utility of the six-speed suite. I actually do want to know whether there's a speed difference between const { a } = obj vs const a = obj.a, and the suite does not test that. (Worse, it kind of claims that it does, but reports something else instead.)

If 'let' prevented inlining, I would want to know, but I'd have to look very closely at the six-speed benchmarks to figure out whether it's detecting that. And the range of subtle reasons for deoptimization is vast, so despite working on a JS engine myself, I doubt I'd be able to tell whether a given microbenchmark is meaningful or not.

(Note that the Firefox devtools does have a "Show JIT Optimizations" that can tell you why things aren't getting optimized, but it's incredibly cryptic, undocumented, and scaremongering.)
Yeah, it would stabilize at three feet, but in the time before that it could wobble wildly between plus ten and minus seven feet.

A publisher choosing what content they want to publish and/or promote isn't "moral treason", it's the essence of free press.

If Adams is unhappy with Twitter, he is free to publish and promote his content via other means. Twitter not choosing to cooperate with him might be a contract issue between him and Twitter, but it's not an issue of Adams's liberty, which does not extend to directing Twitter's use of Twitter's resources.

I wouldn't be so sure there is nothing special about the duration of a second. It comes from dividing a day into two sets of 12, then those 12 into five sets of 12 (12x5=60), then those 60s into 60 each.

We know our bodies do follow circadian rhythms, so you have the initial link to length of day. Then everything else is split into sets of 12, a number with exceptional properties that natural selection may optimize towards:

"The number twelve, a superior highly composite number, is the smallest number with four non-trivial factors (2, 3, 4, 6), and the smallest to include as factors all four numbers (1 to 4) within the subitizing range. As a result of this increased factorability of the radix and its divisibility by a wide range of the most elemental numbers (whereas ten has only two non-trivial factors: 2 and 5, and not 3, 4, or 6), duodecimal representations fit more easily than decimal ones into many common patterns, as evidenced by the higher regularity observable in the duodecimal multiplication table. As a result, duodecimal has been described as the optimal number system.[4]"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duodecimal
http://dozenal.org/

Edit:

Another thing is that our current system of setting the duration of a second as a constant may be non-optimal for some purposes. Other systems let the length of time units vary with the seasons. It is interesting to think that under these systems, by maintaining the same base frequency, the tone of the note would change over the course of the year and with latitude.

It is awful but the alternative is adverse selection. That is, healthy people see high prices and drop out, leaving the prices to get higher for the sick.

One angle of the employer-based system is the "healthy worker" effect. It's almost impossible to answer questions such as "is working in a plutonium factory bad for your health?" because almost any population of workers is healthier than the average population because less healthy people don't work.
The Mac Pro is pretty ancient at this point. If you see them in dev shops, it's because they simply don't have any other choice: if you want a powerful desktop Mac, then you buy the Mac Pro, even though it's three years old.

And even that is not necessarily true anymore. The iMac tends to beat it on many tasks now. At this point, people buy it because they really want to bring their own monitor, or they just can't imagine an iMac could be faster, or they are one of the few people doing something the Mac Pro is still better at.

This project is something that people spent a long time creating, they put in a lot of hard work and they offered it to you for free. They obviously do care a lot about accessiblity, it's evident from their website. If you found a problem with a particular screen reader, did you open a github issue? What was the name of the software? Did you follow all of the accessibility guidelines? Did you engage with the authors and ask them for help? Or did you simply register a new HN account with which to insult and diminish the hard work that these people gave to you in good faith and for free?
For Sandstorm in particular, it doesn't necessarily run inside a container since it is itself a container management / sandbox tool, makes use of seccomp protections, etc. I'm not sure what the best way to sandbox Sandstorm is. Maybe get a separate VM instance.

And as an American, I don't know anyone who doesn't like Canada or Canadians, while simultaneously not understanding what makes it different other than basically superficial stuff (i.e. french language, metric, being polite, etc.)

So I don't think we have that England/France relationship at all either. It seems pretty special on the world stage.

From anyone familiar with it, is New Zealand and Australia's relationship at all similar to either Canada and USA or England and France?
Fort Sumter isn't really a major site (it's got a lot of name recognition, but not much happened there compared to other places).

Antietam is one - the bloodiest day in American history. Then there's a whole bunch in Virginia: The Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Fredericksburg, Manassas (site of two major battles). Further south, Vicksburg, Shiloh, Chickamauga, Stones River are all major sites. You probably haven't heard about any of these (maybe Manassas), but they're among the biggest battles of the war.

The Virginia sites are all huge, historically speaking. Shiloh is a particularly beautiful battlefield. Vicksburg is the most impressive, because it's one of the few with obvious remains of battle - it was basically a trial run for WWI. Most battlefields have a low line of earthworks and some craters, but it's tough to picture what they looked like.

It's all based on Morgan Stanley’s "2016 CIO Survey". It doesn't appear to be publicly available.

I've been the drone filling out surveys like this for CIOs in the past. Sometimes those surveys ask these sorts of things indirectly, especially if it's a paid survey. For example, they might assume that O365 utilization drives Azure adoption. (Behind the scenes O365 auth is an Azure service) Another example would be asking if your org has MSDN or an EA. In both cases, that provides some "free"/NFR Azure services.

A few years ago, Gartner pushed a survey like this where 40% of a group of drunken CIO types at some conference claimed that they wouldn't buy PCs or smartphones for employees after 2018. This stuff just isn't that meaningful.
