That looks to me rather like axiarchism, with parsimony as the specific form of goodness.
The title here omits the name of the series this was published in "A time of endings".

The article is really about the death and re-birth of Activision. It covers the role the Baer patent played in this, rather beautifully.

I was really impressed by this great long read, will have to go back and read the rest of these articles. We so often focus on success, it's interesting to read detailed accounts of how things fail.
I think it might be a bit unfair. Don't get me wrong, I have seen people who had the mentality of "I'll just go to a bootcamp and start making good money." There are definitely others who, as others have said, used bootcamps as a lunch pad and just something to get them started. Hard to tell just from a resume though.
Here's a twitch.tv user that is streaming two Google Homes talking to each other...endlessly.

Part amusing, part interesting in how the Google system is trying to pick up on cues in the speech.

At one point earlier today they were alternating the lyrics to Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" for some reason.
> I succeeded and even trained someone else how to do it. When we started, he didn't know C all that well so I split the drivers into hard and easy parts and gave him the easy ones. We wrote about six drivers together. I made his parts harder and harder until he was able to write a driver on his own.

This is a pretty amazing way to teach someone something as complex as device drivers. It sounds like you did an excellent job mentoring him.
It sounds a lot like the conversations you get when you have two instances of Cleverbot (http://www.cleverbot.com) talk to each other. I had set up something similar in the past but then in a Telegram channel.

Sometimes accepting a shitty job just to get started is the only option. You do what you have to do though.
keyboard autorepeat doesn't have anything to do with the terminal emulator (or I would be surprised). There's an X11 setting, try "xset r rate <delay-ms> <repetitions-per-sec>", e.g. "xset r rate 170 30".
> Your setup sounds like a parody of the most outlandishly neckbeardy things devs can do in a shell.

I shaved off my neckbeard, I'll have you know! ;)

My setup's no more outlandish than using tmux or screen, except instead of typing `tmux` or `screen` I type `shell`, which aliases a `dtach dvtm` one-liner (with a few options sprinkled around, so I don't have to bother with config files).

The point is that none of these applications care if/how they're composed; if I want to add in or swap out something, it's just a change that one-liner.

Not so if, say, my terminal application were hard-coded to rely on tmux, as some sibling comments have suggested.
I'd like to do software relating to this. But most of what I've seen is low level or hardware/mechanical.
I think it's possible Google had more in mind than just boosting sales of the Pixel - it's presumably much less expensive on the backend to support Assistant for a smaller subset of users, and Pixel owners are probably early adopters who will tolerate hiccups the wider market won't. My personal theory is the backend networks are being trained and optimized on a subset of users (pixel owners) and Google is making sure the product is worth the expense before hosting it for a much larger audience.
If the spectrum is good, and there's no flicker, I think this could make sense in the kitchen or hallways. I haven't been that pleased with the LEDs I've seen but they are still better than CFLs and show more promise.

In the living room or especially the bedroom and bathroom, I prefer dimmer lighting with less blue spectrum. My 29W halogen incandescent on the night table doesn't exactly burn through a lot of electricity and has the most pleasing light in my eyes. Until there's a LED that can perfectly match that, I'll stick with that until these bulbs get banned, too.
A classmate and I did a bit of contract work for a company. We built out some widgets for a dashboard with d3.
I think it's because people actually _wrote_ there. Since blogging has become a part of the "presence" everyone has to have, a lot of garbage and uninspired things are written on the internet. I wasn't a regular reader, but the things I did read seemed to be more visceral and well written than your average blog post you see today. The guy who wrote, "A Coder in Courierland" had pretty amazing prose.
The surface studio isn't entirely uncompromising - it comes with a really unimpressive GPU for the type of monitor it's pushing and the type of people it's marketed to. On the plus side, egpus should work with it.

I do agree though the Surface Studio gets my interest in a way that iMacs haven't since the iMac G4. It seemed like after the G4 they just kept phoning it in with yet another pizza box iMac.
I think it's only going to get weirder in the future too as more and more is pumped in to the celebrity machine.

I was in a bookstore the other day and saw Anna Kendrick's memoir. I don't have anything against her at all, but she's a 31 year old actress who hasn't had a big role that produces her legacy, maybe in another decade or two, but now?

Every person of at least minor celebrity status comes out with a biography these days, and then goes on a big publicity tour on all the talk shows, and now there's more and more talk shows on more and more network, cable, and internet networks. There seems to be a whole industry centered around people in media reinforcing themselves to an absurd degree now.

Then again maybe we just forgot if this happened in the 70s and before and this has always happened, who knows!
IMHO, I don't think a broad statement about where headers should be handled can really be made. For the one liners, sure. You can set up HSTS once and forget about it.

For something like CSP, it becomes very difficult to maintain a list of sources very quickly. Also, for parts of CSP like nonces too – from a usability perspective, it's a lot easier to pass a nonce around in the application layer, as opposed to generating it at the Apache/Nginx level, and then trying to insert it into the HTML as the page goes out.

Goal here is to make things like CSP easier to use. Integrating security headers into a language devs are already familiar with achieves that.

That's wonderful! How does your company write that off? Is it a business expense? I know a lot of companies don't really care to "donate" for various reasons, am wondering why your company is so willing when it is not required.

Summary from a previously deleted comment here:

"It's concerning how influential Russia's propaganda & PsyOps
campaign has affected America(ns)"

It's interesting to hear about the recent talking points in major news media publications about "FAKE NEWS" which is just newspeak for Propaganda.

Some might not be aware, but in 2013 the US removed protections against domestic propaganda:

The U.S. Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948
(Public Law 80-402), popularly called the Smith–Mundt
Act, specifies the terms in which the United States
government can engage global audiences, also known as
propaganda. The act was first introduced as the Bloom
Bill in December 1945 in the 79th Congress and
subsequently passed by the 80th Congress and signed into
law by President Harry S. Truman on January 27, 1948.

The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2013 (section 1078 (a)) amended the United States
Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948 and the
Foreign Relations Authorization Act of 1987, allowing for
materials produced by the State Department and the
Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) to be released
within United States borders for the Archivist of the
United States.

I didn't enjoy this book; the examples used clojure constructs before introducing what they did making them arcane and difficult to understand, and it focused on the language without showing why you would use it or how to use it for real world projects.

It's like... a detailed guide to the language, for people who already know clojure.

I recommend 'Living Clojure' by Carin Meier for new comers.

(Also, avoid the clojure cookbook; it's just a list of 'how to do X' for a bunch of X questions, kind of like a FAQ of best practices; it's in no way an introduction to the language)

Like rust, I feel if you want to push someone into using clojure you have to pitch it at them with more than just 'hey look at this syntax. So functional!'. I know the clojurescript people are all enthusiastic these days, but the strength of clojure is its concurrency and seemless interop with the java ecosystem; if you don't need those, it's just another lisp.

You lose both of those with clojurescript, and I fail to any benefit in it. /shrug
I'll approach this from a different direction. I currently work cleaning a meat room in a local market; machines,floors, scraps and such. It's a dirty job.

But if I could have any job in the world, it'd be what I spend every other hour not on shift doing, and that's programming and solving problems.
What's the merit of using 'fired' instead of 'laid off' in this round?
Primarily a reduced number of games available in the lobby on a regular basis; I would imagine that a commercial games that once had a large number of players and now has fewer would also be considered languishing.

Also a lack of a current build for the Mac OS (an issue since the network play compatibility is tied to the game version)

No double standard, I used to be quite active in the gameplay and also contributed a little to the code itself - the community around the game just isn't what it used to be.

Edit: If you're involved in the wz2100 project directly and have other information, obviously I'm wrong here, but otherwise I'm just passing on my perceptions from many years of involvement on the sidelines.
The example you gave asking about the the heart rate is my current gripe with Alexa. Alexa feels like I'm using an app via voice control, but if I could ask it questions and reliably receive answers like you described that would take it up to the next level for me.

I have no doubt that if Google wants it can get into the various partnerships, app addons, etc that Amazon's lead has given them, but if Amazon can't catch up to Google Home in terms of being able to understand and answer me without my having to get frustrated and just pull out my phone and search it myself, they're already ahead and as a user interested in these types of devices you already have me reading and considering switching. You're not the first person to point out that Home has better conversational understanding of voice commands in my searching post-reading your comment.

I hadn't replied to this because others had already provided all of the info I have.

Would love to open a classic diner.

Not a grease trap, but quality, but familiar breakfasts, great sandwiches, home-made pies. Superb diner coffee.

A place welcoming to anyone, young, old, family, friends.

Software Development is great. It's been a fun ride, and I've made some amazing friends, learned many skills, and of course, took in a salary that helps pay bills.

Eventually, it'd be nice to try this. There's a rush, and a large challenge to running a restaurant, but a diner brings a simpler focus. It might be a pipe dream, but since I'm not planning to execute on it any time soon, I will continue dreaming :)
You're just cherry-picking what you choose to believe. Or are you advocating the dismantling of all intelligence agencies? I mean if you don't believe their findings, what use are they?
Some people are so strange with things like this[1]. It's as if anything that a major company would dare put their name near must be super polished and very serious. It's fun to ship. I clicked the same link as you. I saw the same domain name as you. I walked in assuming it'd be something pretty neat. I saw faux-8-bit and said, "golly I bet someone had fun for a day or so". I got over it and played the game a half dozen times noting the annoying GC pauses and slightly-off collision detection. Had fun, moved on.

Sometimes companies are chill about non-core stuff having their name on it and will let an individual who created a cute game during a hackathon show it off. "Is this video streaming related? No? Okay, just make sure it's not offensive and there's no way anyone could take it too seriously."

A Settlement Highlights the Complexity of Credit Scores
If you can write your read model into Mongo, then you can use Meteor to build a real time interface extremely quickly; it tails the database log and dispatches updated records to subscribers practically instantly over websockets, no need for the event processing code to know about how to map to frontend queries. We use this for our production CRM, albeit for internal users. No doubt Phoenix would be more performant and support more databases, but it's nontrivial to build the record-to-subscriber reverse mapping that Meteor brings out of the box. RethinkDB was going to be the Chosen One for this use case, alas...
Yes, that's improved math.

All the time is a bit of an exaggeration. Some algorithms are broken very fast, others slowly accumulate partial attacks until people don't trust them anymore. Those last ones don't normally get completely broken¹. I think the only exceptions were the shorter key lengths of RSA².

1 - But you will find many examples of algorithms with less than the modern strength parameters that were broken by the mix of faster computers and partial attacks.

2 - But by the time those were abandoned people were mostly using even shorter keys that wouldn't suffice by today's standards even without any known attack.
They write what they want to write, you're just a source. So yeah don't think they'll write your story for your benefit. You need to hire an expensive P/R agency if you want to do that. But on the other hand if you know their interests and your interests align with their, in that you can produce a click-baity idea for them then they might bite. But yeah be weary of the media. They have their own problems to solve. They don't care about you or yours.
For the universe, it's probably mundane.

The "what job would you do" question suffers from framing problems. I have always been interested in multiple domains, and have found ways to explore a lot of the responses others have given here (photography, film-making, music, cooking, writing, entrepreneurship) to varying levels. Right now I am trying to learn about physical product design, manufacturing processes and mechanical engineering, re-stringing a sitar, organizing an exhibition of my regionally focused antiques prints and photos collection with a commercial sales element, about to go cycling at 2000m in the Himalayan sun,[0] pick up a German loaf from a friend who did the (also mentioned by others) open-a-German-bakery thing here in southwest China. Yesterday I discovered a mislabeled antique photo online, researched the hell out of it, determined it to be an early and very rare panorama of a major city (after detailed research on three major regional cities in the 19th century), and decided to bid on it, scan it, then re-sell it for cash to a museum. Life is good... for me personally, though it's not always easy taking a less safe route, especially sporadically returning to see friends and family with the play-it-safe approach, nice comfortable investments and cashflow (but absolutely a fraction of life experience) ... once you embrace it you can't go back to 9-5 - except that in the worst case, you can.

The leap second thing is a big issue for a server. OpenNTPD serves the wrong time on the day of the leap second. They don't propagate the leap second flag properly either. It's not correct and doesn't belong in a public server pool IMHO. This issue isn't just theoretical: it was responsible for a lot of the bad time being served by the NTP Pool last week.

You're right that the article I linked argues the leap second isn't a big problem to client machines. I guess I sort of believe it, if you don't care if your client is a second off from true time once every couple of years.
Well, it captures the niche target userbase that would otherwise self-sign a certificate to protect the channel.

> Notice I said "music maker" - i.e. a maker of tracks/songs, and not "musician"...i just don't have the formal training to play an actual instrument...however, if time travel existed, then yes a musician.

It's actually much more feasible to teach yourself to play instruments than people realize! Obviously being taught makes things easier for most people, but what really makes a difference more than anything else is just spending substantial amounts of time practicing, which is still necessary even if you do take lessons.

Plenty of famous musicians were actually self-taught, including some who were at the absolute top of their field, like Hendrix, Clapton, and Moon: https://www.joytunes.com/blog/music-fun/15-famous-musicians-...

I was just having a little joke, apologies if it came off as a criticism. It seems very strange to me that people are still talking about speeds of terminals, but not my field (any more) fortunately.

One of the first things I wrote was a terminal emulator using telnet to run on PC-DOS using a port of curses to connect to our Sun 3's. To think in 2017 people are still concerned about terminals is very surprising to me.

Why? Because they don't want to spend a microsecond of their time thinking about whether they could save a few bucks upgrading a part of their phone vs getting a whole new shiny new phone.

Given carrier subsidization of phone costs, I guess I could buy that. IF consumers were actually routinely paying full retail costs for their phones, I expect it would be a different story.

But even so, given how a large segment of consumers (although clearly not all) are interested in piece-meal upgrades to everything else in their lives - computers, stereos, cars, blah, blah, blah, one wonders why they would treat phones so particularly differently.

I wonder if the problem with LG's initiative wasn't more along the lines of "all other things weren't actually equal". If the "modular" phone is much (bigger|heavier|more expensive|whatever) then it's easier to see how the benefits might fail to offset the downside.

I love woodworking as well, and have completed a few little projects since buying a house and finally having a garage/workshop.

But, if that's not something you have the space/money for yet, I think that cooking is a nice substitute hobby. There's a lot to learn with tools and technique, and you get the immediate satisfaction of seeing (and tasting!) your finished product.

Just be careful though -- I've injured myself many more times in the kitchen than in the garage.

I hear this a lot, but it totally mystifies me.

You lose all the good parts of clojure when you go into the js runtime; stm, parallel processing, java interop, hot reloading, and it pulls in some really quite large js dependencies, and it's impossible to debug. Even console logging becomes a case of 'convert to readable object and log' using special helpers.

What's the benefit?

I don't see any meaningful reason to use clojure in this context; what's the draw? Why would you bother over any other compiles-to-js language?

You.. just like the syntax? That's the best answer I've gotten so far.
