It was given a "9d" ranking and a "(P)" mark (for "professional") by the Tygem server, who presumably knew its real identity. Also, I get the impression some of the pros did in fact know.
I haven't seen too much recent stuff. I made this fix probably around 2004, and the code was at least a couple of years old at that point.

We initially targeted PPC Mac, then it eventually expanded to x86 Mac and ARM iOS. All fairly similar when it comes to simple stuff like this, the barriers are straightforward when needed, and no need for DCAS or similar fanciness. (Indeed, no need for any CAS at all.)

I am saying we rarely see giant exponents (on polynomial-time algorithms) in practice, because most algorithms that we intuitively think of as 'hard' turn out to be in NP or PSPACE or other complexity classes that we have decent reason to suspect have a lower-bound exponential running time.

You're saying that the network effect benefits of Facebook (making new friends or staying in contact with existing ones) are exactly equal to the costs (loss of privacy). They're not; FB chooses what that cost:benefit ratio is by how they set their terms of service and (naturally) puts its economic advantage first. Competitors can't deliver the same network effects as FB so the benefits they can offer are very limited by comparison.

that, in a nutshell, s why we could really use a good social networking protocol rather than a platform. Platforms are like land, land has landlords, and landlords want rents.
Example: Mirror's Edge. You could get your way out of most (all?) situations without killing anyone. It was pretty challenging but also rewarding. I tried to play this style, managed to get to ~2/3 of the game before my (then pretty weak) computer gave out. Had only to restart a part of a level once, because I accidentally kicked a policeman off the building.

So I write humorous stories and design games in my spare time. While writing one story a couple of months ago I tried coming up with the most boring ideas for games I could think of to add to the story, because at that point having a few dumb games in the scene would be funny.

One of the three "bad ideas" I came up with was basically just putting numbered cards in order. But apparently my brain isn't content to just leave it at that, and it started whirring, and thought of a bidding system to add to it...and now it actually sounds interesting and I made some cards and some chips and I'm planning to playtest it with a couple of friends tonight.

Oops. It was supposed to be a terrible game, but it might actually turn out to be fun.
Looks promising BUT I'm on mobile and it does not show the video.
Hell, many years ago, before some of our HN readers were born, I co-founded a start-up that had trouble recruiting people because we only created 200,000 shares at founding, and other companies were giving away millions of options. How could we compete only offering hundreds of options?

I don't know if the candidates were playing stupid, or really that dumb, or trying to angle for something better, or just didn't like the company and were trying to back out politely, but it got damn frustrating.

Lots of people just want to be lied to. You know why employers spew bullshit to candidates? Because candidates eat it up.
Inflation isn't deductible, which means that bonds can pay extremely high (real) capital gains rates. If the bond pays 2.5% nominal per year, and inflation is 2% per year, and you pay a 20% capital gains rate, then you make 0.5% in real returns and owe 0.5% in capital gains taxes. Which is a 100% effective tax rate.

Stocks are more forgiving, at 2% inflation, plus 8% nominal returns (6% real), and a 20% tax, you would pay 26.7% effective taxes. At 6% inflation, it would be a 40% tax rate.

So this all made more sense when taxes were reformed under Reagan, which had a high inflation environment as a backdrop. Realistically, it would probably make more sense to have inflation deductible and progressive, but equal rates for cap gains and labor income. (edit: for full equivalency, you might also need a rebate for capital losses).
Even ignoring the extension-compatibility goal, at the time Unladen Swallow began, V8 was nothing more than an AST-based JITing interpreter, hence there were far fewer generally applicable parts of the code compared with today.

That sounds like the kind of issue you'd have with any reimplementation of CPython though. It sounds like Grumpy doesn't support quite a few things, so I still wonder how they compare and why developing a new runtime was considered easier than reusing Jython.

The previous version of the BizonBox does look a great deal like a modded TB2 Akitio. But I wasn't talking about the TB2 BizonBox2!

Step -1.) Demand real name's to protect the childrens.

Step 0.) We did it! Everyone has to use real names now! Equality unlocked!

Step 2.) Troll as that person or use that real name to infiltrate that person's social network

Step lulz.) Doxx brigade/morality police now target the wrong person.

Step 3.) Congratulations, not only did you not solve the problem you were trying to solve, now your rules are a robust breeding ground to cause actual social and economic damage to people YOU ALREADY AGREE WITH because "pixels are feelings, too".

Step 4.) Hang your head in shame for such short-term thinking.

Step 5.) Downvote me because of tone.
This plays to the SV mentality, which is ok for those into that mindset. Personally, I feel like it promotes the life-objective point of view. Work, be successful, die.

Loosely, from a talk i heard ages ago - the universe has no purpose. No goal or objective. It just is. Similarly, a dance or a song. It's purpose is not to end, but rather the thing itself, in it's entirety. If the objective was the finish, you'd start a dance where it ends, and be done with it.

Life is a little like that - ALL of it, every moment, is like a song. Each note is like a day, stanza like a year. Have fun, always.

...or, spend your best years slaving away for a (maybe) payoff at 40, 50 or 60, move into a retirement home and wait for death.

I love writing code, but i love other stuff that takes me away from code for months on end too. The SV thing scares the h*ll out of me. The obsession over the next big thing, being right, getting paid, being a name... I get depressed just thinking about it all.
It also mentioned patient care was improved, which is important because it establishes that the gains went beyond the employees who got two extra hours of free time. That could establish the groundwork for some similar studies in different disciplines where perhaps the costs don't increase in the same ways.
That's certainly a valid suspicion, given the mercenary nature of university management these days, but is it actually borne by facts?

So many of these articles seem incredibly sexist to me -- they all boil down to "women are too ignorant to realize that computers are fun".
It's interesting though that the examples you provided are all approximations for known NP-hard problems, and in many cases the free parameter that lets you get arbitrarily large constants depends on how close to optimal you want the approximation to be.

Do you have examples of large-constant algorithms in P that are not approximations of NP-Hard problems?
I think yours is a flawed analogy, but I am not sure I can articulate why - but here goes:

Noone can force you to leave the Muslim or the black population; you are what you are, and so any suggestion that someone should be removed from that population is pointless (unless, of course, one thinks murder is an acceptable method; I am not suggesting that you do)

The police (or engineers; nurses; judges; etc) are a professional body; it is in their best interest that certain minimum standards apply to all members, thus making the public trust the competence of any representative.
There are large barriers to entry in the form of existing interlocked exclusivity agreements. At this point is would be nearly impossible for a competitor to get traction in the large event market.

Syria – Sovereignty and Peace. Press Conference, United Nations, 9 Dec
Oh no, I totally believe that the minds exhibit dimorphism. The claim I think is extraordinary is that the dimorphism is correlated with tech thinking, which, for starters, isn't a well-defined term. Is it raw programming ability? (If so, there are lots of reasons to believe that women are more suited to it than men, which were common folklore in the middle of last century when programming was low-status.) Is it project management? Business sense? Insight into emerging industries? The ability to learn new complex systems? The ability to work with other people effectively?

Once you have that, what's the argument that male brains are better at that particular type of thinking? The fact that more men happen to be employed to do this thinking isn't an argument; at best it's initial evidence that would inspire you to create a hypothesis, but it's not the end of the study by any means.

The interpretation that seems most likely to me, but which is unfortunately horribly politically incorrect, is that men are more likely to be territorial assholes about high-status positions in society, and we'll preserve our exclusivity when we have it. This manifests as us being better at $field for any $field because we don't allow women to have a chance to succeed. (We might allow enough of a chance to succeed so we can avoid accusations of sexism, which would risk our exclusivity, but we don't want to go so far that we concede the exclusivity on our own.) At least this hypothesis has the advantage of the known fact that having an aggressive personality is correlated with gender.

That link indicates otherwise. Quantum computation is at most a superset of classical computation; every classical Turing machine is also a quantum Turing machine; the states and transitions are just purely classical.

That was stated in the article: Organic shift through curriculum redesign and change in teaching methods. Staffing probably also played a part, although that wasn't mentioned in the article beyond Klawe.

Note that students at Harvey Mudd are not admitted to any particular major or program, they are admitted to the college in general and don't declare a major until Sophomore year. An increase from 10% to 55% is at least partially a result of more female students taking interest in the subject, not a result of admissions. Matriculation of female students to the college as a whole also rose over the past decade, but that went from ~35% to ~50%, so it accounts for less than half of the change in CS.

>By 2018, the Gigafactory, which is less than a third complete, will double the world’s production capacity for lithium-ion batteries and employ 6,500 full-time Reno-based workers, according to a new hiring forecast from Tesla.

Unless those workers will be putting in thousands of hours per week (impossible, I know), this implies some truly prodigious productivity statistics: that by using the best available manufacturing techniques, they can double the world's battery production on 260,000 hours/week of labor.

That's not the right word. Interest is the right word. The % of females in tech resembles the % of females majoring in CS
It was kind of a weird scenario to test this in. Regardless of productivity gains number of hours staff would need to be on hand will of cause remain the same, if nothing else do to regulations. Still there might have been a ton of complaining, had they tested on staff in public administration.

I'm a huge fan of the idea of shorter work weeks, it's obvious that some jobs won't be able to introduce them without cost. Also, assuming Sweden and Denmark aren't to different at this point, there might not actually be enough skill people walking around without jobs to fill in the gaps in the sectors where people are required to be present, regardless to productivity boosts.
It's whatever you want it to be. You're responsible for the impact you make, not how long you're at your desk. Facebook has high impact expectations, but if you're smart, you can have a big impact and still have a life.

Facebook culture also has a big social aspect. I think I made more personal friends at Facebook than I made in the entire rest of my career. One downside (according to some people) of this effect is that Facebook tends to become your social life. Personally, I appreciated the personal relationship formation, since it's rare to see so many smart people in one place.

Except that every dilution I've witnessed has come with re-upping the people who really Matter. Current employees we want to keep, and people sitting the board room.

Not everyone takes an equal hit from dilution. Some don't get hit at all. Some can get hit but handle it. (A founder diluted from 10% to 5% still is sitting on a huge nest-egg. An employee diluted from 0.01% to 0.005% may see her 200K payout changed to 100K.)

The blockchain, as we know it today, would not exist in any meaningful sense without tokens of value incentiving people to secure it (the miners). If you believe otherwise, you will need to demonstrate what that means and how it works. The two are currently inseparably intertwined.
> Show me one issue in the code and I will thank you, but you won't find much fault there.

You need to get off your high horse. Not even Jon Skeet thinks he creates perfect code.

Your project is nowhere near "great example of modern architecture in a web app". You depend on mysterious global variables everywhere, mix jQuery with HTML tags hard coded in strings (with classes and everything) and have no unit or E2E tests. I applaud your overconfidence though. Most people are ashame of their code, even when it's ten times better than this.

Serious tip: invest time in learning React+Redux/MobX or Vue. I promise you it will make your life much better once you realize your shortcomings.

An highly relevent metric to include would be annual net return vs industry benchmarks. It directly describes the changes in investor sentiment about future profitability, rather than relying on subjective assessment of the average tone of press coverage. Change in revenue, gross and net profit are also informative metrics, directy measuring change in current market-share and profitability.

Fun Feynman fact: He was friends with an artist who, among other things, built a home in the hills of Altadena (an LA suburb) using discarded construction materials from the area, and that was predominantly not enclosed, as he had claustrophobia from being smuggled out of Armenia during the genocide - I think in a coffin?

For better or worse, I think Go sucked up a lot of the metaphorical oxygen for similar languages. Swift and Rust are in different niches and don't compete head to head with Go, so this isn't a real problem for them.

What I've long wanted is a better C++, not a better C. It would be hard for any such language to succeed today, because it will have to compete with Go, and Go has a fairly mature toolchain and widespread adoption and a lot of mindshare.

D literally is designed to be a better C++, and it hasn't really been a big success. Maybe that's because there really wasn't as big a demand for a better C++ as there was for a better C. On the other hand it may have been because Go sucked up a lot of the oxygen that D was going to need to succeed, and maybe that was because Go was a product of Google and D wasn't. (If this was my primary point, I'd make a more nuanced argument, though.)

I'm now wondering if the best way to get to a better C++ might be by piggy-backing on the Go toolchain. To get back to my original point, I'm wondering if Go might in fact be a good target for all sorts of better (for some definition) programming languages.
At least part of most people's job is being available, however. If you work on a team or are even nominally in a support role, you've got to be available for questions, meetings, collaboration, and so on. Very few people at places I've worked in the past have a job that can be easily defined by "I cranked this many widgets, now I can go."

Additionally, the 40 hour week protects people who got a difficult task from being held over. I realize there are stories of working 80 hours a week, but in my experience most people leave at 40 hours, which forces managers and sales people to set realistic delivery dates based on those hours.
