strangely enough, I've been expecting that as well, but reading your blog post, I differ on how it will be realized.

I think it's more likely people will instead carry identities that describe the applications they have access to, and be able to load those on devices for their identity only, down to the point of being able to walk up to a new PC, attaching the identity, and then having access to the apps on that new PC.

It'll be a 90% solution that's forced to deal with DRM and safe enough remote execution, but it'll also allow you to access your documents from anywhere with a connection.

I know you specifically disagree with the idea of synchronization, but that's more feasible than what you're suggesting imo. synchronizing a document is going to be as simple as saving it into the cloud and fetching a delta at the endpoints.

This will necessarily not work for certain types of applications, no one is probably going to try and do actual CAD work on the go, although they may view it. But for most things it'll work well enough.
HN does need a gold or classic posts tab so we automatically note this reposting. Appearing again and again hints to the fact the article is ^more interesting^ than usual.

You are making people lose money (not the malware adnetworks, not the trackers, but the guy buying advertisement) to prove a point to the ad-network (which is actually making money off this), I consider it close to harassment.
No, it's 100% true. It's the book Steve Jobs had written as his official biography, so it's de facto the official biography. It doesn't matter if there is a better book, and your aggressive tone is not helping your argument.

Ask HN: Ergonomics of touch screen laptops
Touch screen laptops are all the rage these days and I have seen a lot of people desiring the same for Macbook and OSX. But after thinking about this it seems that touch screen is very bad for ergonomics. You can't "work" on these things, it will screw up your shoulders and neck. Have anybody used touch screen laptops for day to day work i.e working for long period. What has been your experience? We need to come up with new HCI that puts ergonomics at the top of the list.
Please re-read what I've written:

>Economists have looked at this and concluded that the spread of market institutions like private property rights has accelerated poverty reduction, because of the effect it has on capital allocation and incentives.

This isn't specifically about BI. My point is that you're wrong to claim economic systems don't matter. You're applying very little critical thinking and intellectual integrity to this debate. What do you think you'll accomplish by lying to others and yourself?

>You linked christian science monitor and an economist fluff peice fta: "take a bow capitalism," yea - quality, unbiased, non-ideological sources here. /s

Both are considered highly credible media sources. Do you think they are lying when they state that the spread of market institutions is responsible for the largest reduction in poverty in world history?

As for the TED talk, are you aware of who Paul Romer is? Do you know why he is considered credible? Did you watch the talk he gave, and the explanations he provided for why poverty has declined in various countries?
In the book, it explains that the pre-ipo stock he was granted at FB was approximately equivalent to what he would have gotten from the Twitter acquisition.

I oversimplified my response and it lost the point I was making. You are certainly correct that many languages don't use quicksort. My bad.

I was responding to a comment that I felt was needlessly dismissive. The default sort algorithm of any major language's standard library is usually not worth trying to beat, and calling someone "incompetent" for not reinventing the wheel each time they encounter data that needs to be sorted is absurd. Note: I said "usually", not "never". A competent programmer doesn't fix problems that don't exist, and you would absolutely have to profile code before convincing me that the choice of sorting algorithm was the source of a performance problem.

As far as the details go... In only a few languages (e.g. C) might you really even consider moving memory around rather than pointers. The semantics of standard library sort in Java, C#, Ruby, Python, Javascript... is sorting an array of primitives by value or objects by reference.
A RISC ISA is an ISA. It's an architectural contract which can be implemented many ways.

That 118 bit uop is a microarchitectural implementation detail. It has a pedigree dating not just to the VAX but to 1957, to Wilkes' EDSAC.

In what way is this 118 bit uop not microcode? It is not designed for generality. It isn't exposed (other than # of uops in the Intel Optimization Manual or it is Agner Fog). A complex instruction is in fact interpreted just as POLY was on the VAX. It controls a pipeline. It is anything but Reduced.

Calling VLIW and x86 uops RISC doesn't make them RISCs.
A lot of security boils down to bugs in software. If you don't have any programming skills, how do you expect to quickly and accurately find bugs in software? Sure you can go around banging on things and you might get lucky with the easy cases, but you will struggle to exploit and pivot out of the difficult cases.

Star Wars: Rogue One and Hollywood’s trip through the uncanny valley
I had no response to Modafinil at all. I started at 100 mg and worked up to 400 mg (under my psychiatrist's supervision), but at 400 mg, both he and I decided it wasn't doing anything — positive or negative — so I quit taking it.

After researching the subject a bit, my guess as to why Modafinil had no effect on me is that I probably have the wrong variant of the rs4680 gene. rs4680 is known as the worrier/warrior gene; those with the AA variant tend to be neurotic, have high anxiety, and handle stress poorly (my personality in a nutshell). Studies have shown that people with this variant of rs4680 do not significantly respond to Modafinil, so I suspect that I am one of them. I plan on sending a DNA sample to 23andme soon to confirm whether or not my hunch is correct.

With regard to getting a prescription, I'll note that my psychiatrist couldn't prescribe Modafinil directly to treat anxiety, so he indirectly prescribed it to address the "sleep issues" that were caused by my anxiety/depression.

For me, 5 mg of Adderall does what I was hoping Modafinil would do. Personally speaking, productivity is far more important to me than "feeling good", which is what I think a lot of people abuse Adderall for (and it certainly does produce that "feel good" sensation at high enough dosages). But at 10 mg and less, it's like a much "smoother" version of caffeine. In fact, lately I've found that I don't really like caffeine anymore because it makes me crankier, sweatier, and more jittery than Adderall does, and it doesn't help my ability to focus as well.
The way I see GRPC in the context of the CRI is a very well defined API. i.e. kubelet makes function (or in this case rpc) calls to my implementation of the api and I return results to it.

I tend to think of it like the VFS in the Linux kernel. If Linux was a microkernel, it would talk to each FS module over an RPC interface, since its not, they are standard function calls as statically linked together.

I'm unsure what your Q really is, how would I easily have function request/response layer with json documents or stdin? It seems more complicated. But as I don't quite understand perhaps I'm missing the point.

I also dont think its adding more moving wheels, its just taking one wheel out of kubelet (i.e. dockertools part of kubelet) and moving it elsewhere (i.e. dockershim as a cri implementation). The only increase in "moving wheels" is that even in the non "statically linked" scenario, one has to distribute 2 binaries to each node. kubelet and the cri implementation, but in practice I'm not sure thats really such a big deal.

This is a follow up to LA Times' great reporting on OxyContin back in May, which uncovered how opioid addiction has exploded due to false representation of oxycontin's effectiveness, which was done to justify the more expensive patented time release mechanism of their pill. http://www.latimes.com/projects/oxycontin-part1/

If you consider HR as a first firewall to get past, that may make CISSP certification not such a terrible option. If you can get past the outermost protection layers, you can start poking at the inner layers that may be more soft and squishy.
I've never tried it, but take a look at the investment strategy called the trident portfolio. It claims a consistent 11% CAGR (compound annual growth rate) for the last 40 years. Trident consists of the following:

1/3 VBR
1/3 GLD
1/3 TLT

You'll have to rebalance to keep the ratios all 1/3 approximately once a year. There is a great response on Quora by Milos Baljozovic that I highly recommend related to the trident strategy.

For those who aren't familiar, they are wood blocks sort of like Jenga blocks but with a length:width:height ratio of 5:3:1 which is very useful for building structures. They are made with quality wood and are cut precisely.

The fun part is using them to build bridges and domes. I always have fun seeing how far I can build make a bridge span, which is why I came across this article in the first place.

I work in a heavy industry in Australia. There is a 16 hour shift limit - after which you are required to take an 8 hour break before you are able to operate any heavy machinery again.

Operating heavy machinery is no joke but then again neither is being a doctor.

From William S. Burroughs, a quote I often think about in this context:

"Statistically the people who become addicted to morphine are those who have access to it: doctors, nurses, anyone in contact with black market sources. In Persia where opium is sold without control in opium shops, 70 percent of the adult population is addicted. So we should psychoanalyze several million Persians to find out what deep conflicts and anxieties have driven them to the use of opium?"

This is obviously a very supply-side view of drug abuse and very likely an oversimplification. But so is the view that we should tackle underlying causes first ("fix the broken system") when there is an obvious legal pipeline openly pumping opiates into these states. This is particularly off-base as the effects of opioid addiction are now a secondary cause for more opioid addiction (i.e. 'everyone is doing it', 'there are now plenty of dealers', etc.). So much of this is a cycle. I don't disagree about treating the 'broken system' but turning off the pipeline at the corporate level is a huge opportunity to improve things.
Success in any area is always directly correlated to some earlier knowledge or skills which took time to develop. The fact that SubmitHub's success is "correlated" with Indie Shuffle's is such an extreme standard that, using it, we could never assign a starting point to anything.

Everyone is quite aware that founders acquire domain knowledge, contacts/network, programming ability, business acumen, ideas, etc before the very day they start their company. I know you mean well, but this comment thread itself suggests the only people misled by the title were those who mistakenly believed that SubmitHub was a simple continuation of Indie Shuffle.

If SubmitHub's users had simply come from Indie Shuffle, or if Jason had simply pivoted Indie Shuffle into SubmitHub, then I would agree with you. But neither is the case.

A light rail system over Sepulveda Pass would probably require drilling a tunnel. Early estimates are at least $6B: http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-sepulveda-pass-t.... It could get built, but I don't think the final price tag is going to put the lane expansion to shame.

Buses can already use the HOV lanes. One of the expansion lanes (the northbound one) was an HOV lane, so now there are HOV lanes in both directions. Who cares, given how few riders buses attract.
I have heard of this feature of Perl 6, but not used it. One obvious difference is that ANTLR is language-agnostic in that you can generate parsers in C++ or Python too, while I assume Perl 6 doesn't have that functionality. So that limits its appeal.

(Although honestly ANTLR is pretty skewed towards Java; the generated code is kind of like Java-in-Python or Java-in-C++.)

I'm curious what algorithm Perl uses to match grammars. ANTLR uses a few algorithms, like the one to generate lookahead tables for LL(k), and then the LL() algorithm, and apparently a new one with ALL() in ANTLR v4.
So we started with centralized mainframes, because it was too expensive for everybody to have their own computer. As hardware improves, computers become cheaper and more powerful and then everybody can have their own, and we move to a distributed model. Then as internet speeds improve, it becomes practical to bring all the compute back in to centralized data centres and communicate with them over the internet from small, less powerful devices. Then as the hardware improves again, the small devices become powerful enough to perform their own computation.

In the talk, he says that the reason we need to do the compute "on the edge" is because the latency between the cloud is insufficient for real-time devices. So what happens when network speeds improve again (better fibre infrastructure, LiFi, etc.)? Will we bring the compute back in to centralized data centres? Will we continue to bounce back and forwards forever, as network and hardware technology leapfrog each other? Is one model better than the other?

I don't know more than anyone else about this particular situation, but I can imagine how JS reflection works. Something like:

let test = function() { return "hello";}
test.toString()

returns

"function() { return "hello";}"

It's not too difficult to imagine that pairing that with some JS parsing would allow you to slowly crawl your way around an app and gather the app structure. Crazy, and fascinating idea.

To your first point, Mooi is planning on using Clojure as a scripting language. Clojure compiles to CLR bytecode, and is in theory as fast as C# is as a language. Using the idiomatic persistent data structures has an overhead, of course, but Clojure allows you to be flexible with how and when you do that. I wouldn't say Lua or JavaScript are "reasonably faster" than Clojure is on the CLR.

To your second point, we're aware that there's room to optimize and we're actively working on it. We profile and optimize our code paths regularly, and the results are often surprising. If there's "obvious" stuff left in there it's because we're tackling bigger fish than e.g. a foreach loop. None of these are show stoppers, in practice, but this is part of why we're in pre-alpha.
> All of this stuff is solveable with proper diligence but I prefer my language to enforce it.

This is why I love Rust in a nutshell (okay, there are actually a lot of reasons, but this is a big one). Given the choice between my ability to write perfectly bug-free code and the compiler to make sure that my code is correct, I'll pick the compiler any day of the week. And that's before taking into account the fact that like most programmers, I have to work with code that's not mine as well.
