The point is that you can setup the machine and leave home for your work. And after you come home it has already finished cleaning. However, as the restriction of the size and design, they will never clean as a vacuum like Dyson.
I feel like you should reassess.

What makes you think it's an employer's market? Do you think Google/Facebook/etc. are paying $250k out of the goodness of their hearts?

Just because your personal experience doesn't confirm that it's very much an employee's market doesn't make that false. Keep in mind that the market is very skill-sensitive. Not all positions have intense competition for employees, but there is a huge amount of demand for senior engineers who are well-versed in a web stack.

> There is a lot more than just codecs and formats in a media player. :D

As you are the VLC lead, I understand where you are coming from. Nevertheless, depending on the perspective, a media player can be legitimately viewed as codecs+formats+some glue.

For example, ffplay that is shipped with FFmpeg has < 5k lines of code, and although not as full featured as VLC, definitely serves for basic media playback needs.

Or if that is too extreme, per the Open Hub stats, mpv does media playback with ~ 100k lines of code, once again in < 1/4 of the lines of FFmpeg (even with the hardcoded lookup tables ignored).
We have the right to have our food correctly labeled. Then everyone gets to decide for themselves.

To me, the pro-gmo crowd seems to be about taking away my rights to have my food correctly labeled. This is a morally indefensible position, regardless of safety of gmo.

The Media Source Extensions API (MSE) allows streaming audio/video playback in HTML. It's used widely today, including YouTube and Netflix. JavaScript libraries like Dailymotion's HLS.js can remux container formats on top of MSE, so you don't need native support for HLS in desktop browsers.

You make a distinction between consensual supply and non-consensual supply, but you don't do the same for demand?

When prostitution is legalized, the distinction then exists for demand.

What has to happen for this to increase trafficking is that non-consensual demand must be bigger than the totality of demand beforehand.

You are missing the point. The standard could be wrong, but it is still the standard. You still have an obligation to conform to it if you are writing C code. It is a prescriptive document, not a descriptive one. It can only be wrong to the extent that it can make poor decisions. Regardless of what it says it is authoritative.

No, it really doesn't. Games sell like gangbusters as they are now. That doesn't mean there isn't room for non-violent games, and if you can come up with one that that's really fun to play you'll make a mint. Until then, don't decry an entire industry because you don't see the appeal.
this is actually kind of nice.
You may present the argument you consider as well excused. My point is that in the area of HVAC and environmental engineering departments in the universities at the time, the "ozone hole" argument was in-disputable. So my metaphor is that, the DMV may propose or just stipulate the best driving protocol for humanoid on a motor vehicle. The contrary motion may need more comprehensive and comprehensible materials to be sound.
Isn't it an expected behaviour (at least for programmers) because of IEEE 754?

For example, in Racket this also gives 2.0, but if you are using exact numbers (#e), then it gives exact and correct answer 1.0.

Same for Java (and any other language): if you are using Float/Double numbers, then you are loosing precision. Use BigDecimal (or something similar for other languages) if you want exact calculations.
Hue forces updates on you every time you go into the app if there's one available, and you can't use the app until you've updated. Granted this isn't ideal if you primarily use your light switch or an amazon echo to control the lights, and fully automatic updates would probably be better, but it comes pretty close to aggressively pushing updates.

Agreed. An archive where the data is preserved but you have to really work to view things is good, but one where you can just browse is better. Since we don't have to worry about accidental damage caused by people who are just browsing, and people who are just browsing don't limit the ability of a researcher to use other tools, we can both.

Another good example is MIDI. As a browser of MIDI files I just want to hear them play. If I'm researching them, then I'll want to take the time to figure out what hardware and software synthesizers people were actually using when they composed them and listened to them.

Neither use-case impinges on the other, so there's no reason at all to avoid implementing an in-browser MIDI player. Or an in-browser media player that can play nearly everything, in this case.

On the other hand, downloading a 4gb dvd image full of mpeg2 streams is pretty wasteful of bandwidth; if it weren't for the menus and whatnot it'd be better to transcode it to something modern for playback.

Ah, they mean 20 percent of the vacuums sold this year. Since a vacuum is not something that gets replaced each year (or every 5 years even?), it will take quite a while for robots to reach 20 percent of all existing vacuums, if ever.

Anecdotally the only person I know who owns a roomba used to work for iRobot.
The trouble is that many of us who think gmo foods are OK if an individual chooses to eat them, we get upset when scientists, possible whose paycheck depends on gmo, write articles critical of honest labeling.
That may not be the full story.

I also get a pool to allocate for "regular" annual raises between the people on my team.

There's a different, bigger pool that can get pulled from if there's a case of a mismatch with market rate (e.g. we'd hire someone new into that position for considerably more than the person currently in it is making).

There's also a pool (possibly the same pool as market adjustments) that can come into play for retention/negotiation if an employee asks for a raise. But at my employer, at least, the point of proactively doing the second is to hopefully prevent this one from being needed - once you're in a "thinking about leaving" situation you're more likely to actually leave.
20% seems a bit high, now perhaps if it was "20% of the world's vacuums and Cat Antagonists" I might find that believable.
Come on. You seriously can't think of any situation where the Navy might want to launch planes too far from an air force Base to stage through it? There are plenty of reasons to be skeptical of our spending on carriers; this is not one of them.
That all sounds correct to me. I'm not familiar with greenlet internals, but lua's stacks live on the heap and the whole situation ends up being similar to promise chains in terms of where your state is at runtime.
I think this is a good point. I've felt that way about single player games for a while. When I recently played Firewatch, which has a story with some complex emotional layers, I realized that I now need more than "mechanics" for a single player game to appeal. Now, I try to find games with more emotional depth. There aren't many out there. We all change in different ways and I suspect you can find single player games that will appeal more to you now than ones similar to those you used to play.
Interesting article, but games for me since the 90s ended have been huge letdowns. I started gaming in '86 on a Commodore and a bit before with an Atari 2600. The 90s were the peak of creativity. The 80s a bit limited technologically, though the arcades at their peak were a sight to behold. In the last 16 years, I only found a handful of games that really got me interested. Left 4 Dead and League of Legends (I did have TFT and tried DOTA but didn't play long enough to get hooked).

But it seemed in the 90s, both PCs and consoles were putting out their best stuff. I still look at the old Sega Genesis games and early 90s PC titles as some of the best the industry ever put out.

As a result, I just bought a new PC and decided to not even bother with a high end gaming machine. I'm using a Skull Canyon NUC, first time in 30 years I wasn't concerned with meeting current specs in the latest AAA games. We're going on two decades of rehashing 90s ideas and I'm done.

I will be buying a Nintendo Switch though. The social gaming aspect of Mario Kart is still magic for me but there is no other entity out there with Nintendo's polish, charm or fun. I think it's an open secret that 3rd party publishers often run from Nintendo systems not due to API lock-in but because they simply cannot compete with Nintendo 1st party titles.

Oh, and my username is actually a homage to the Buck Rogers Gold Box titles from the early 90s. I never got into the D&D stuff but played the heck out of the two Buck Rogers releases.
Be brave enough to hide your branding from UI
A real opportunity for startups is to produce services that save us all from gratuitous branding that pollutes every part of the user experience, directly hindering usability. I would pay extra for services that can be described simply by what they do and not who they are.

Examples of crazy UI ruined by overzealous branding:

With voice interfaces, why must I issue wordy commands like “hey <Device>, ask the <Company Name> <Unnecessary Branding Words> to <finally! perform task>” instead of just saying “<perform task>”?

On Windows, why must I open the Start menu and launch the “<Your Company Name> <App>” instead of just “<App>”? On the Mac, why must half my menu bar be filled with “<Your Company Name> <Unnecessary Branding> <App>” instead of just “<App>”?

Why must your icon be 90% your company (describing nothing useful), with a miniature version of what your app actually DOES? That just makes toolbars, menus, short-cut bars and similar interfaces far less useful than they ought to be.

And oh, the keyboard. Why must search autocomplete be ruined because 6 different installations are named after your company FIRST (most searches try to prefix match), requiring me to type out your whole company’s name before I can even describe the applications uniquely?

When I see an alert message, why must I hear why “<Product Name> <Unnecessary Branding Words> cannot do X” instead of getting to the point with “X cannot be done”?

I just want to install and use things that stay out of the way. The time for the commercial was when I bought your app. Now that I own it, your software should be completely out of the way and focus on the task at hand.

If the old, established companies aren’t brave enough to hide their branding, maybe startups will be?
In general, thinking of memory as an array of bytes is helpful, and each byte has an address which is itself a series of bits that can be stored in memory --- and the concept that ties it all together and what I find makes a lot of people just "get it" is the fact that memory can itself store addresses that denote locations within it.
What do you call a section of the population that:

- Claims that creationism is as valid a theory as evolution
- Denies climate change just purely on anecdotal evidence (the perfect image of it being Senator Inhofe holding a snowball and claiming "It ain't warmer HERE!")
- Claims that the government is "going to put them in FEMA camps through a fake military exercise" (I guess we are still waiting for Jade Helm 15 to happen?) despite there being 0 evidence of that
- Builds a narrative of ghoulish dealing on body parts around Planned Parenthood selling fetal tissues for research
- Ignores reams of evidence that Reagonomics and trickle-down economics only increase the wealth gap and keeps claiming that's "the only way to fix the country"
- Claims that crime is at "the highest rate EVER" even though crime rates have decreased year over year for decades
- For crying out loud, literally claims there's a "scientific elite" (their term) trying to "bamboozle everyone" into all kinds of "socialism"

I don't know in the US, I've only lived here for 5 years, but anywhere else in the world we call that anti-intellectualism... but then, if you think Clinton's DNC is "a violent leftist sect" you are so divorced from reality that you are probably beyond all hope. Anyone who's lived abroad will tell you the DNC is barely one notch left of the RNC, they are just a bit more socially progressive.

Maybe stop getting your news from just Scott Adams and Fox News.

(BTW, funny that you mention "character assassination"... right after seriously trying to paint the DNC as some kind of Satanist cabal. The cognitive dissonance must really hurt, dude. Have you considered you might be one of the "moist robots" Scott Adams talks about?)
UPD: But interesting question though: if language X gives correct answer for that example (without using special classes and functions), does that mean that language X is not following IEEE 754 and does something else under the hood, hence will be much slower?

Take, for example, Java: no one is using BigInteger/BigDecimal by default because they are waaay much slower.

You can't have precision for free, can you?
Unfortunately STV has the same problems as first-pass-the-post, and some actually worse ones. Which is unfortunate, because people don't understand that and think it's much better.

Another discussion I'd like to see come out of this election: the idea of information as a public good.

http://people.ischool.berkeley.edu/~hal/Papers/japan/japan.h...

Neither the advertising nor the paywall/subscription models are serving to either provide the public with information, or to foster quality and relevant information. Both are in fact the problem.

Addressing an open-access model, with a tax-based compensation for authors and publishers strikes me as a vastly preferable model.
Let's say you have two images: web and db. Web containers ask for high cpu, but small disk. DB requires big mem and disk.

With GKE, you either have different instance types for different container sizes; or you launch the BIG&TALL VMs for all.

The same story applies to public/private network as well. Point is that in GKE, there are two layers to manage: VM and Containers. In Hyper, the container is the infra.

+1 I would give you +10 if I could because you are correct: cutting way back on beef consumption, favoring chicken or fish, or even better vegan food, saves a huge amount of resources, and helps fix global warming (yes, methane belching cows, I am looking at you!)
The only coincidences are in the eyes of people who want really hard to find a connection. Just don't go into reddit these days, there are people claiming all kinds of "obvious connection" because X's cousin worked in the same company that Y worked at a decade before Y even graduated college. I just can't wait until the election is over.

Most people are really bad at vacuuming regularly. A robo-vac buys you more time between required vacuums.

If you're happy to vacuum weekly and are already, don't buy one (seriously), but if like me you don't recall the last time you manually vacuumed then buy a $300 Xiaomi Mi and let it do your chore for you.

Plus I've found that they get into places which people ignore (e.g. under the bed, bottom of the closet) and dust still acculates in those places.

This is very convenient and opportunistic for NYTimes propaganda efforts.
Maybe I'm cynical, but I tend to be skeptical of art that's more about a cause rather than about the art itself. I'll give an example: christian rock. I have no problem with christianity, or with rock, or with rock that is about christian themes or ideas. But I think we all know there's also a subgenre called "christian rock", which is generally a tacky, pretentious and overbearing imitation of the above things in the interest of furthering an agenda or crassly pandering. The problem with "christian rock" is it tends to be more about being "christian" than about being good rock music. You can have good rock music that is christian, but "christian rock" is almost always tacky.

You see something similar recently with "art games" that are trying so hard to be "art" that they're pretentious and overbearing. The only good "art" games are the ones that ended up being interesting works of art by exploring an idea, not because they set out to be art games.

I hate to say this, but I kind of worry this could just be the same thing, but instead it'll be "serious adult" games or "feminist games" or pick whatever social movement you want here. But it won't really be about the game, it'll be about the movements values.

With such a generous free tier, what are you guys doing to ensure you will be around in 5 years? Love your service, it just seems too good to be true.
This is part of the reason why I wish we had more of an "open food" movement. As it stands, it is astonishingly difficult to make well reasoned choices about food. There are numerous gimmicks that can be played going far beyond things like http://www.simplemost.com/sneaky-reason-tic-tacs-can-say-sug... , which is still non-obvious.

This is a reason I added to my more "traditional" reasons for being a vegetarian - as it stands, it is very hard to reason about the likely supply chain of food that I purchase. Nevertheless, it is easier in my view with vegetables as they are lower down in the food chain. With meat, there are a whole bunch of extra parameters governing things beyond the feed composition and structure.

This also meshes well with the original ideas behind the virtues of free markets, which depend upon customers making informed, rational choices. "Openness" regarding the supply chain is essential for the critical "informed" aspect.
