Some immutable data structures implementations perform optimizations under the hood.

For example, if you have a large game state object with mostly stable fields, but the position value changes frequently, you don't need to perform a full copy of the object when position changes. Instead, you could create a new object that only keeps track of the position field, and delegates all requests for other fields to a more stable underlying game state object.

You could also imagine an environment that, if you're going to throw away the reference to the old game state anyway, then it's safe to mutate the object directly instead of bothering with copies or proxies.

…that said, most implementations—especially if you're not careful—will probably incur performance costs, and, at 60 FPS, those matter. They're just not necessarily as bad as you're imagining :)
I would probably buy a house in the outskirts of seattle or denver for maybe 250K - tons of houses around 3beds, minimum 1500 square feet, if you expand the search. Then, start a private repo doing an MVP based on my open source project, then try to find a product manager type to bootstrap a startup, somebody hungry who would live in the 3rd bedroom and go full throttle for half a year or so, then if that fails when I'm down to say 100-150K, I put that money into TBills and get a job if I can't find revenue or funding.
Clearly I've been thinking about it all wrong. When the CEO eats a lavish meal with a CEO from another company, they're not having lunch they're working hard; probably just as hard as the peons doing the manufacturing, cleaning the plant, driving the forklifts or whatever. Just because the sales teams have already negotiated the deal and the CEO only has to eat a meal and sign their name doesn't mean they're not working hard, at all.

Indeed if you get invited away to a person's private island and then they later buy from the company you "work" at then that holiday was far more work than someone spending 12 hour shifts, standing, poring over circuit boards with a soldering iron or hefting rocks with a pickaxe. That's why the management deserve 200 times the salary of the workers. /s

Truly the relationships aren't important unless the CEOs make it that way. They could just do business, decide they need X amount of pressed steel, sign the contract and not play golf and have a luxurious meal. But instead they decide that only companies that kowtow to this ideal of greasing the wheels of industry by fattening the C-grades up should win the contracts.

>If you get in 18 holes and leave with $10 million, were you not working? //

No, you're not working, you're exploiting the work of others. What function did the 18 holes of golf serve except to reinforce a despotic nepotism.

The idea that this is work is interestingly both anti-capitalist (it's an inefficient aberration) and anti-socialist (it's setting people over others but providing no useful function).

I would submit that the difference you describe is partly because the US is so much bigger that each person has proportionally less control, and partly because Quebec is more socially cohesive than the US. The state of Oregon has a similar pro-government, pro-social welfare mentality. In their case, it's for kind of a dark reason; Oregon's historical racism makes for a more socially cohesive polity[1]. But in Quebec's case I think it's just a sense that other Québécois are family, and so services that only benefit other people still benefit everyone.

Oh neat. So, in order to avoid having ads filtered at federation boundaries, thus delivering zero value to ad buyers and zero revenue to themselves, they now have a very strong incentive to come up with advertising only imperceptibly different from everything that is not advertising.

Those guys may have had the fancy titles but the real engineering leadership at Twitter was Raffi.
In principle they're 2nd derivatives, but in practice the public is only ever informed of the first derivative, rather than the plain value; news programs report inflation, not the value of the consumer price index, the deficit and not the debt, and GDP growth rather than the GDP. (To the extent that sometimes I've heard journalists and news anchors say that "GDP fell to 1% this year" - when actually it's "GDP grew at only 1% this year".)
No, because the problem isn't really technical. Whilst Vice could probably improve the quality of their commenting by putting more effort into the software, the real problem is that they were receiving political opinions from a camp they didn't like much.

The article doesn't really try to hide it:

Without moderators or fancy algorithms, they are prone to anarchy

Anarchy?! I thought anarchy involved Mad Max style gunfights and burning oil barrels. What does "anarchy" mean in the context of a bunch of words on a web page? Oh, right, uncontrolled and uncensored discussion where people can say what they think.

Too often they devolve into racist, misogynistic maelstroms where the loudest, most offensive, and stupidest opinions get pushed to the top

So they don't like their comments (whereas they presumably did before) because over time the comments have become "stupid", "offensive" and - of course - racist/misogynistic/hate speech/bigoted.

I'm willing to bet that many of the comments that enraged them the most weren't particularly stupid or even racist, but rather belonged to a part of the political spectrum that Vice's writers wished they could make go away for real. If there's one thing 2016 shows it's the unlimited capacity for people to paint political views that they don't share of any kind, regardless of reasonableness or validity, as "racist" or "bigoted".
The problem is that doctors are never going to organize against this, because A) most have been thoroughly inculcated in a culture that worships that kind of work ethic and B) the limited number of physicians is the reason they make absurd amounts of money. The median ER doc in SF makes $328,047[1], and ER's a relatively low-paying specialty. The solution is regulation with teeth, similar to the rules governing pilots.

What you're describing is more in the domain of program verification,

there's already work like this, for instance dafny [1], where you can have functions like this:

method Abs(x: int) returns (y: int)
ensures 0 <= y
{
...
}

or:

method MultipleReturns(x: int, y: int) returns (more: int, less: int)
requires 0 < y
ensures less < x < more
{
more := x + y;
less := x - y;
}

I agree, although it helps lower the barrier to entry, so that 99% might become 95% or 90%. More than a few times, I showed people a few simple tricks in the Inspector. They felt empowered and it encouraged some of them to continue digging on their own.

Sure, they could install an addon, but that can be very intimidating if they have never done so. If I "wanted to show them a quick trick", I would have already lost their attention completely by the time the addon is installed.
Probably too long a story for an HN comment! ;)

In short, my wife got sick and needed brain surgery while she was pregnant, and I ended up being away from Enlitic for nearly a year. It made me reassess what I really wanted to do with my time.

Now that I spend all my time coding and teaching, I'm much happier. And I think that making deep learning more accessible for all will be more impactful than working with just one company. Deep learning has been ridiculously exclusive up until now, on the whole, and very few people are researching in the areas that I think matter the most.

Finally, I think I achieved what I set out to do with Enlitic - deep learning for medicine is now recognized as having great potential and lots of folks are working on it.
Jobs brought in a great team from NeXT - like Jon Rubinstein, who oversaw the development of the iMac and the iPod, and later came as close to rescuing Palm, Inc. (with the Pre) as was possible.
Maybe someone just needs to explain this to me like I'm 5, but no one forces someone to take out $125,000 in loans to go to a private college. I graduated from community college and then went to a state four-year for my degree, and I came out relatively debt-free.

I don't want to force people into a lifetime of poverty because they made one bad financial decision at the age of 19, but I took out loans, too. I also think it's part of the college experience to eat Ramen every night for a three weeks and scrounge for beer money so I might be a bit biased.

The money that I borrowed, that I paid back to my school (as promised) didn't go sit in some fat cat's bank on Wall Street. My school turned around and loaned that money back out to the next round. So it's incredibly selfish I feel for anyone to think they are free from any responsibility to pay back their loans because they were duped at the expense of someone else who now might not get the chance to go at all.
I have some horror stories on this sort of drug and attitude which I don't wish to detail here with an identifiable account, but you are spot on. Many people have suffered in the hands of doctors with that attitude, some irreversibly harmed in the process.

You're getting downvoted to hell for a small misunderstanding, and the replies aren't necessarily helping.

NeXT is the reason Apple went with a UNIX-type OS that evolved into OS X, yes.

Linux is also a UNIX-type OS, but is not an ancestor of OS X.

Linux is so popular now that it's easy to identify it with UNIX but historically it's only one of several implementations that work in roughly similar ways.

Other replies are telling you which code OS X was actually descended from.
Block ciphers in ECB mode don't use an IV. If you were going to use this random crypto code on github (bad idea for various reasons), you'd want to wrap it in GCM or something similar (then you get to deal with IVs, tags, etc). I suppose part of the issue that people don't want to deal with (or don't see the need for) the added complexity of IVs and authentication.
That's not my point. The new MacBooks may be disappointing, but they exist. The Mac Pro, iMac and Mac Mini didn't even get a refresh.
I have the transaction record that shows me buying 110 BTC at US$0.02.

Worst thing is that my reasoning was solid. Limited stock of a thing people might want = it'll probably go up.

Actually, no. Worst thing is that I sold them for very little, not long after, probably to buy beer. That is an expensive beer.

I tried using FreeBSD 11 and XFCE as my development platform.

Good: XFCE worked OOB with Intel graphics outputting displayport to a 2560 x 1080 display.

Bad: Video playback in VLC and FireFox was choppy.

Not sure if the AMD FirePro or AMD Quadro have better support than Intel graphics. I ended up switching back to Debian.
That's really what this course tries to do. Lesson 7 shows how to do localization in a couple of different ways. And in every lesson I try to show how to get a state of the art result on a real dataset, showing the process from end to end. Jupyter notebooks are available for all of these projects.

The founder has a good track record - though I think he's looking to sell it before it gets that big. My friend there thinks whatever stock options he has will simply be diluted by equity sales during future investment rounds anyway.

Not of use to many, but I'm still glad that Chrome includes them - I needed to upload several GB of data the other day, and having both an available web interface and the bandwidth limiting feature in the Dev Tools Network section let me do that upload without impacting other users at the office for the 30-40 minutes that it would have taken when unthrottled.

It's two major islands, closer to 5 million people, and we have a sales tax ("goods and services" or GST) of 15% that applies to everything, even groceries or imported electronics. This of course largely hits the working class. The rich don't rely on getting income from generating real value here - income tax is far too high. The key to becoming wealthy is to invest in property and rent it out at exorbitant prices to working class people.

I'd start with 10k inflation adjusted personal Series I savings bonds from the US treasury, which pay quote a bit more then any available CD in terms of APY, and have a 3 months interest penalty for 5 years after purchase. I'd probably wait until after april 30th, since the fixed rate interest rate on them is currently zero but will hopefully go up. You don't pay state or local taxes but you do pay federal taxes.

That leaves 490k. I'd put 100k into wealthfront, so they will use individual stocks instead of etfs for tax loss harvesting.

I'd take 90k and invest it in AA or A rated municipal bonds, if you are in a state where gains are tax free, creating the beginnings of a bond ladder. We expect the fed to raise interests rates 3 times next year so I'd probably split this 15k for the first raise, 25k for the second raise and 50k for the third raise.

if I have a 401k I'd invest the maximum 18k in 2016 and contribute the 18k in 2016, making purchases immediately after interest rates go up in dividend stock etfs, reit etfs, broad market etfs, and a small cap etf. Likewise 5500 each ear for an ira, or possibly a roth IRA, depending on current income levels.

I'd save 153k in a savings account like synchrony bank with 1.04 apy interest. Part of that should be a year's expenses, the rest used to purchase stock in solid companies if the market crashes. I'd want to adjust this after a market crash year.

Then I'd split 300k into 100k for a broad based index etf, 50k in a small cap etf, 25k in a midcap etf, 75k in a large cap etf, 25 k in a bond etf. I'd spend 5k on individual stocks using a robinhood account, so I could get a feel for the market. The remaining 20k would be for taxes on any dividends, idly playing the market so I wouldn't touch the bigger investments, and an emergency fund, again placed in a synchrony or equivalent savings account.
I won't argue with an owner (my own personal experience only extended to the 70s type 2s, not 80s) but I'm surprised. The source I checked didn't show a model over 3500. It's estimated for the campers, but 1k lbs is a hell of a margin.

It doesn't mention Westfalia models directly, though, unless they're one of the model numbers in the breakdown.

I know. I was hoping for flying cars by now, too, so what I'm talking about might not happen, either.

I'm not sure what the saturation for people taking commuter trains is, but if autonomous cars get adopted en masse, that might be the difference? One thing I didn't consider before talking to people in London, when the subway is full there is no relaxing and reading a book. You're elbow to elbow and likely standing the whole time. I know commuter trains aren't like that, though.

Like you're saying, googlebus makes it easier to work longer hours. Conversely, carpooling (or missing the train) keeps people to sane working hours. Taking a bike pushes people to leave before it gets dark outside. I'll be interesting to see how it changes our behaviors.
Facebook and Google aren't financially struggling. There's something to be said for "too many chefs" when your main issue is doing something, anything to make some cash. Perhaps some downsizing was truly in order.

On the other hand, losing this many execs in this short of time almost never bodes well, which means their stock price is going to tumble even further without something drastic happening soon.
>Many med students today feel that they can't become GPs because they simply won't make enough to pay back their student loans.

I'm at a private (but good) medical school and this is definitely a problem. My tuition (not including living expenses) is about $50,000 per year. And to be honest, there isn't a huge difference in tuition between most private and public medical schools. I'm from NYS, which does a pretty good job subsidizing its state schools. When I was applying to medical school, the in-state price was around $35,000 per year. However, just over the border in Pennsylvania the price at Pitt (which is public) was around $48,000 per year, for out of state students, and maybe 40 or 42k for in state students.

I went to an in state school for undergrad, and I'm very fortunate to have no debt from that. However, many of my classmates who went to good private undergrad schools (Ivy league etc) will have (a lot) of debt from both undergrad and med school. They literally have no choice - they need to go into a high paying specialty if they ever want to pay their loans off.

Peter Thiel now leading the fight for commercial space in Trump’s NASA
Not going to argue with you. 4000 employees is going to lead to a lot of inertia when doing development (even if only 10% of them were devs). However, the culture and process changes you need to institute in order to make such a change work is not trivial. Probably necessary for the future growth of the company, but could quite easily end up killing it in the process.
