I tried purely email based authentication in the past, unfortunately our domain for whatever reason wasn't deemed beyond reproach by gmail et al. At first it they blocked around 5% of emails eventually this went up to nearly 9%, aside from those that got blocked some just disappeared into a void after being accepted by gmail and took upwards of 20 mins to a few hours to be delivered.
You seem to be claiming that bombing in Libya started the instability in Libya, rather than the reality which is that it was a result of that instability. I suspect you know that however, because again... dishonesty.

I am currently a CS Student and use a lot of the tools from jet brains. It's awesome that they are free!

To give a bit of an perspective/motivation: They make it really easy to try something out. You can click things, visualise things and get guided by the IDE, then they scale with your skill until you never click things and only use the shortcuts. There is a plugin for nearly everything and the documentation (NOT the openapi-doc, thats horrible or nonexistent) is great. I would not want to teach an freshmen (is this correct? first year university?) javascript with vim/emacs.
The use case is advertised as allowing you to port code to new devices. But the github repo says it only supports Ubuntu, OSX, and Windows. Lastly C++ isn't generally considered a portable language.

Frankly the idea of porting a C# runtime to a new platform sounds more exciting then debugging 10,000SLoC of machine generated C++ to a new arch.

You are picking the extremes to show why my analogy isn't good, which is unfair. You don't move your oven with you when you move, and washer/dryer is rare, but 220 volt outlets are standardized in the US as well. If you are moving your washer and dryer with you, and oven, the place you are moving to will have standardized 220v plugs. There is a physical limit on how much electricty certain plugs can handle. The bulk of the consumer and kitchen appliances you take with you use the same plug. Micro-usb is pretty much ubiquitous for the vast majority of non-Iphones. The point is because of Apple continuing to "move us forward" we will never have something to standardize around.
Have you heard of Scrivener? It's available for both OSX and PC, and I believe there's an iOS version, too. It's really wonderful. The organizational tools are just incredible, and are only as complicated and involved as you want them to be.

I agree that unsubstantiated intuition can be a reason for bad decisions, but the real culprit here is the idea of the visionary. Because the visionary legend is why we even have the word "strategy".

Society, through unhelpful renditions of history (think of any historical movie), lauds people who are "strategic thinkers". Big picture people who had the guts to follow some grand plan.

Well, I call shenanigans.

We're all told (I went to business school, but don't hold it against me) to be this sort of magical thinker type who comes up with grand schemes. It's unhelpful.

The reason is that, amazingly, we can all think up grand schemes. 20 years ago everyone dreamt up a world where all information was available all the time, anywhere. Everyone would have a camera in their pocket. You could work from home. And so on.

The people who actually deserve credit are the ones who can actually make one of the big ideas happen. Everyone is already looking for a way to make fusion happen, cure cancer, and so on. We know that we want a world like that, and normally when someone has a vision of the future, it's quite familiar to everyone.

As a coder, it's actually easy to see this side of the story. It's the BSers we tend to work with who have a hard time seeing why talk is cheap. I recall building an app with a guy like this where every suggestion was some sort of revelation. I told him to stop masturbating, and he got quite angry at me. But that's what it was.
What? Why?! I only ever see the giphy URL I didn't even realize there was a website to it I just thought it was a host like aws or something. Who are the idiots who do these valuations?
It's a strategy that only works in the very short term before the HN algorithm detects spammy behavior and starts to shadowban or slowban you.

This general idea is brilliant. Think what it does for discoverability of application functionality. I'm sure Chrome (where I'm typing this) has a multitude of useful shortcuts that I'm not aware of but that my keyboard could be teaching me. Suppose I push Control and every key changes to show what would happen were I to combine it with the Control modifier. Same for games---could save me a few hundred peeks at the Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup help menu.

As I've said in another comment recently, there seems to be a lot of innovation around keyboards right now---Apple's Touch Bar, RGB keyboards, this e-ink thing. I'm excited for the possibility of new standards emerging and new ways of interacting with existing applications being developed.
But doing that 8x work is a difference between an obscure Github repo and next fad in the JS world.

(You could probably skip making good documentation, everybody does that and it doesn't seem to stop popularity.)

I'd also question making good documentation is 3x the effort - not if your product is really doing anything interesting. For interesting stuff, most work is in the internals and not at the edges that will be documented.
That's the thing about bikeshedding - it's easy to learn what it is. It's hard to actually stop contributing to it yourself, and often even harder to lead a team out of doing it.

It looks like they have basically adopted the coding conventions of windows API code, down to the /++ --/ comments, style of declaring functions, uppercase types etc. Not that it's is a bad thing, just something I noticed.

Also things like KeCrashSystemEx look very much like KeBugCheckEx in Windows. There certainly is a lot of inspiration.

Edit: I see from Linkedin the OP is actually an ex-MSFTer who worked on Windows' HAL, so this makes sense. I wonder, tho, if this will present legal issues? Could someone say that it is an issue that the API is clearly inspired by the Windows API?

I was always skeptical but the thing that made me concretely understand why these valuations aren't real is when I learned about liquidation preferences.

At least a 2x liquidation preference is standard for most VC investments (Y Combinator is an exception to this, I think). In simplified form, this means that regardless of what happens, the investors will get 2x of what they invested before anyone else in the company sees a cent. This means that even if giphy fails, the investors will always get a 2x return on their investment unless the company falls so far that it's no longer worth $24 million when it's sold off somehow.

EDIT: After being informed in responses to this, it appears that 1x preferences are now the standard. I apologize for any misinformation.

If you spend your nights rebuilding your company's software as an open source offering, you don't think that would contravene ethics and your obligations to your employer?

Some might argue, "But existing IP and trade secrets protection already covers this".

In cases such as this it would be difficult and expensive to pursue a criminal case around IP and trade secrets, so it's cheaper and easier to have a contract clause which approximately restates the same thing but as part of the contract, with some stronger statements to provide added protection.

There are plenty of clauses in contracts which might seem odd because they're effectively restating parts of criminal law in the contract, but moving things from criminal law to civil law moves the burden of proof from "Beyond reasonable doubt" to "On the balance of probabilities".

Employment contracts are for the benefit of both parties, but ultimately it is the employers who draft them and they will try to get away with as much as possible.

Why? Because a bunch of reporters are shitting on a new Apple product they haven't even tried yet? I'd imagine he was pretty familiar with that phenomenon.

To get an idea of how style transfer works, it can be useful to look at some less successful examples. Here's one from the same git repo:

https://github.com/lengstrom/fast-style-transfer/blob/master...

(Original photo: https://github.com/lengstrom/fast-style-transfer/blob/master... )

With the "Great Wave" painting as the network's style input, the limitations of the technique become more apparent. It's clear that a human painter would never render the Chicago skyline in this way: there are incongruent little waves on buildings' edges and all over the sky.

The antennas on top of the tallest tower are particularly revealing. The neural network just sees an area of higher local contrast, and has continued the same pattern that was applied in the sky at the top-right of the antennas but with more contrast applied. This doesn't make any sense for what's supposed to be a painting.

There's no intelligence here, "just" pattern matching that can do a brilliant illusion of creative variance on the right kind of content. ("Just" in quotes because it's still a great achievement.)
Fair point. That sounds like a viable path to acquisition - though I suspect the odds are stacked against it as a path to profitability.

How much faster are we talking? I haven't seen any numbers with this claim, nor any justification. There are fast charging systems on the market already with Micro-USB. Qualcomm says their quick-charge solution (used in the new Pixel phones) works with A, Micro, C and others.

A variety of things; taking inventory now, the biggest chunks include:

80GB - Boot Camp partition I almost never use but is too useful to get rid of

48GB - /usr/src (hmm, I can probably cut this down, but it includes >700 source trees and I don't remember which of them I care about); biggest individual offenders are:

-> 2.5GB - linux source tree

-> 15GB - chromium source tree

25GB - /Applications

20GB - ~/Music

20GB - anime

20GB - Windows VM (XP!)

9GB - /usr/local, mostly Homebrew

8GB - ~/Pictures, and that's with the Photos app's option to only store thumbnails and stick the rest in iCloud. (Though the preference says: "Originals will also be stored on this Mac if you have enough storage space." Annoying that this isn't more customizable.)

> You ask some good questions, in particular what is the purpose of our life. Does the existence of a prime mover help us decide this? I think we need something more.

That depends on whether you believe the prime mover has communicated with us. If you do not, then there would not be much you could do with the knowledge of its existence, so it would not be very useful or relevant. But if you do, then it would surely help us decide, wouldn't it?
Yes, you're right. They're validating Moore's Law with historical facts and statistics. That does not make this the right data to use, nor does this invalidate use of inflation as a metric.

I'm not questioning the data, I'm saying you are using it incorrectly.

This is not the right data with which to evaluate prices for new products in the market, this data is showing prices for equal-spec computers. A brand new MacBook Pro with a new touch strip interface and SSD and larger ram and brighter display and longer battery life and lightning connectors, does not compare dollar for dollar to the 2010 MacBook Pro. The price for the new one is expected to be higher than what the CPI shows.

Inflation isn't perfect for evaluating new products, but it's actually better than the CPI, because manufacturers are trying to get the same amount of money or more out of consumers every year, they are not allowing products to cost less and less. Historically, that's exactly what's happened. My family spent about $2500 on our first computer in 1983. Today I spend about $2000 on a computer. I've spent somewhere in the neighborhood of $2000 on every computer I've ever bought between 1983 and now. My expenditure doesn't track the CPI, and it never has. Nobody else's does either.
