Pretty much everybody in Silicon Valley knows how wrong Snowden was about PRISM. Unlike The Guardian, The New York Times interviewed actual engineers and got the story correct from the very beginning.

Here is a competent explanation of how Snowden didn't understand that DITU is an FBI department and not a bulk collection system on internet companies' networks: https://medium.com/@alecmuffett/how-to-talk-about-prism-and-...

I was offered to register my escape as a truck or a car in Missouri- but registering it as a truck would have costed more. Apparently had something to do with the max weight loading I could theoretically legally have on it.

Pipexec offers a versatile pipeline construction syntax, where you specify the topology of arbitrary graphs through the numbering of pipe descriptors. Dgsh offers a declarative directed graph construction syntax and automatically connects the parts for you. Also dgsh comes with familiar tools (tee, cat, paste, grep, sort) written to support the creation of such graphs.
Rust didn't completely forsake them--they were just renamed "panics". The difference is that the language and ecosystem push you to only use panics for truly exceptional cases, and to use Result or Option for expected failures.
> As a recently public company Atlassian knows it'll need to grow beyond developers

Why is that? Why does a company that is good at something NEED to expand beyond their area of expertise? Is is just me who sees this as American Capitalism™? Wouldn't it be better to try to make their products excellent and attract the many developers who are not using their suite? Why the always constant push to grow at any cost?

I'm saying this as someone who has been using Atlassian products for a while. They seem to focus on JIRA and Confluence only, and letting all the other products be 2nd or even 3rd class citizens. Why expand if you cannot keep the software that you already own up to date?
I went diving with a retired marine biologist who said, half-jokingly, that if octopodes had ever formed the same tribal culture as primates that we would have been competing with them for dominance at some point.

Yeah, GM's handling of the ignition switch was bad, but it was organizational (and some individual) incompetence, not conspiracy.

The bad switch was the responsibility of one engineer who simply didn't think it was a problem. Once it turned out it was, the switch was redesigned without changing the part number, which is really weird, but doesn't seem to have been part of any sort of coverup. It then took years for realization of the problem to percolate up far enough for the company as a whole to take action.
The phrase "believes this is just a byproduct of neural activity" taken at face value is just a strange thing to say.

I feel like the author is playing a trick on me, and feels like when Feynman cracked the joke about a French curve "The French curve is made so that the lowest point on each curve, no matter how you turn it, the tangent is always horizontal." [0] Neat! ... wait. Oh. Right. Of course.

I'd be interested in such experiences, too. H2O look promising at first sight.
With remote work, there can be a constant slew of inquiries on Slack, esp. if you're a senior team member. Trivial things take 5-10 minutes to work out on Slack because of how inefficient typing is versus being in the same room.

I guess the ideal situation is to work on something that requires little collaboration, but such positions are very rare.

EDIT: They're even more rare that they could be. In cases where a component could be reasonably written and maintained by a single person, managers will still usually impose a requirement of having at least two or three people involved with that code, which creates large and completely unnecessary communication overhead. The reason is of course they don't want to be dependent on this specific programmer, because then they would have to pay market or above market wage and generally create a developer-friendly environment. They think that it's easier and cheaper to treat developers as replaceable cogs, even if it means they have to subject them to excessive knowledge transfer, thus making them less productive.
HP ALM is awful. The biggest issue is that you needed to install it on the client machine to be used as a plugin. I would rather have Atlassian products than HP ALM and Clearcase!
Sure. But they undermined the legitimacy of the DNC primary process, which undermined the legitimacy of Hillary as the candidate produced by that process. That has (at least potentially) the ability to influence pro-Democratic turnout in the general election.

Really? I'm pretty happy with it. Definitely better than Github desktop, and more full featured than the light git extensions you find in most editors.

By my reading for most of the submitted patches language issues aren't in the top three of problems preventing the patches from being merged; although such issues certainly exist. That said, that obviously doesn't say anything about patches never getting submitted.

Personally the biggest issue with growing the contributor base in postgres isn't language related, it's that a) the easy thing have been done long ago, making the learning curve steep b) lack of time from the experienced people/committers. Most of us have other stuff and our own projects to deal with :(
Yeah, and Bitbucket sucks in any other conceivable way, so I don't see why it should be a competitor other than that they shove it in your face once you want to use JIRA or Confluence.
I agree. Monologue podcasts either work really well, or poorly. I'm a fan of Dan Carlin's "Hardcore History" podcast.
> However, both sides (pro/anti) should by now agree on the need to HAVE an military of substantial size.

What seems to be happening is that priority is given to projects that benefit certain companies, rather than increasing military capabilities. Investments are made in platforms such as Gripen[1], A26[2], Visby[3], PRIO (licensed SAP system) rather than giving priority to training and maintaining personnel. The mentioned projects are relatively expensive and low volume and there are a lot of people in the armed forces who would rather see the focus shifted from those projects to the armed forces. Unless you're air force or navy and get to play with new toys, I guess. Meanwhile, the army and the amphibious corps are less happy.

It is not likely that we'll see the size needed for quite some time.

Answers to your concerns below:

1. As a Bitcoin fork and descendant it is not controlled by anyone but by its network of users. Therefore there is no single point of failure.
Development is done today by a corporation with VC backing which does not necessarily mean that will continue to be the case tomorrow.
A community of developers and/or users can take the development leadership at any point in the future if it were so needed.

2. The cryptography is currently superior to any other. It has been tested and proven. It is in your hands to prove it wrong. Please do so.

3. The founders reward provides even more security and development resources during the first 4 years. Many people see it in fact as an advantage.

4. The trusted setup process whitepaper has been made public, plus the participants are also known. You can research and certify the process and contact the participants as you wish since it is all public. Please provide the exact point of failure in the process and where exactly has it failed. It seems like a highly secure setup to me.

5. The RAM and time required for private transactions can be done with no problem at all by most users with laptops as of today. Even so, there is development going on by the Zcash team to improve the performance and reduce the ram and time required.

In the spirit of Bitcoin, Zcash is decentralized and built for privacy loving users.
> An-Capism is as un-utipian as you can get while still having some vauge definition of an ideal system... Most AnCaps happily admit that the assumed society would not be near perfect.

Perhaps. That doesn't make it any less Utopian in my book.

> I don't think the axioms are that special, its basic rational choice political science/economics that is applied in most AnCap arguments.

Depends on the writer. There certainly are writers for whom this is true. IMO it's not true of Molyneux, to name one.

Of course, rational choice is not special, but it is an enormous assumption that we're pretty sure is not a realistic description of how people actually behave...
I just hope they leave the design alone and don't try enforcing their hideous design philosophy upon it. (Why do big tech companies think that making all their software look the same helps anyone or makes them more money?)

> Vehicles from the early 70s often had similar gas mileage to smaller lighter vehicles from the late 90s-early 2000s but the newer cars had much better emissions.

Source? Electronic fuel injection with closed-loop fuel/air control wasn't a mature technology in the 1970s, and open-loop fuel injection (not to mention carburetors) combined with 3- and 4-speed transmissions are inherently less efficient then closed-loop with 4, 5 and 6-speed transmissions.

My understanding is that a lot of the legal work regarding incorporation is based on standard forms and one of the advantages of YC is experience with the process.

YC does have the SAFE documents for early investment (and a sales agreement too, apparently): https://www.ycombinator.com/documents/

I suspect that some YC startups use other YC startups, e.g. Zenefits to outsource parts of their office operations.

Good luck.

This is a very naive interpretation of the game of poker. Professional human players are already very good at calculating the percentages, and any joe playing from his computer has access to a calculator.

The reason why simply playing the numbers fails is that if I know an opponent is playing this way, I'll just fold every time he decides to play.
I agree it's a little silly. But I think it might be more charitably described as "speculation that remains intriguing to ponder, even though it has no evidentiary support." And the reason they inject it is, of course, that certain readers are more interested in thinking about that kind of stuff than hard scientific evidence.

If you really think this is just "spasmodic blather," then I think you may be missing a lot of important things about the human experience--and even, I'd submit, some of the true wonder of science. (This is not to say, however, that you must find it interesting, much less persuasive. I don't.)
I wonder what the point of railing against a lack of generics is. When I sit down to write Go, I know that I will be writing a lot of simple, yet repetitive code. It's part of the bargain.

Still, if you really feel passionately that Go with generics would be frickin' awesome, generics seem like a pretty easy thing to write a preprocessor for. With the great knowledge of programming language design and implementation that most pro-go-generics internet forum posters have, it should be a piece of cake.
Not only the price of fuel, but the relative price of the two fuels. In the US, diesel is a fair bit more expensive than regular gasoline, which cuts down or eliminates any cost savings you get from higher efficiency.
> Go has achieved a lot of success without them

This is a dangerous and slippery slope to engage on.

Java was also extremely successful in 2004, before it supported generics. Yet you'd be hard pressed to find a Java developer who thinks that generics were not overwhelmingly beneficial to the language, and probably one of the main reasons why Java is even more dominant and powerful today than it was pre-generics.
You can write many of the examples we provide in bash using tee and tee >(process) syntax when you pipe data into multipipe blocks. To collect the data from multipipe blocks you need to construct Unix domain named pipes and use them in exactly the right order. It quickly gets complicated and ugly. This is our fourth stab at the problem. The earlier ones generated bash scripts, which looked awful and were unreliable.

He was a perfectionist and an asshole; you can be a perfectionist without being an asshole. It's hard to overcome the fact that employees mostly aren't interested in perfection (with good reason--it's not like most of the benefits of perfection accrue to them). But perfection is valuable. When you've got something that is the product of dozens of groups' work, everyone letting one or two things slide because it'd be a lot more work to fix them can mean a pretty compromised end result.

> But for diesels, it seems that there is trade-off between fuel efficiency and NOx emissions

Correction: there is a trade-off between fuel efficiency, NOx emissions, particulate emissions, and cost. Urea injection + diesel oxidation catalyst + diesel particulate filters pretty much solves all emissions problems with diesel engines, and that's what GM and Ford diesels do, both in Europe and in the US. It isn't cheap for sure, but the 2014 Chevrolet Cruze diesel is worth every dollar in premium over the gasoline version.

Shortcomings of the article aside, I'd like to say that I use Caddy for a set of small websites and I couldn't really be happier with it.

I'm a longtime Windows developer who doesn't have much patience with nerdy complexities. I started in 1996 with a buggy, gawd-awful Netscape webserver, moved to the late-lamented O'Reilly WebSite (even had a T-Shirt) and reluctantly settled on MS IIS, with occasional Apache encounters. Caddy has been an absolute breath of fresh air.

I currently run 4 sites from a system at my home, using Namecheap dynamic DNS. Caddy serves the basic web pages and static content and also reverse proxies to an internal Python server for dynamic content. Sounds a little complicated, but believe me, configuration is dead-simple thanks to Caddy. Plus I get full HTTPS from Let's Encrypt for the cost of supplying my email address and agreeing to a EULA - no configuration needed at all.

I've never used a webserver that was easier to configure or had such low resource requirements.
I've been doing as much Nim as I can recently and really enjoying it. I just took a week to put together a proof of concept Python module wrapper around Nim code and I'm really looking forward to implementing some optimized inner loops for our main Python application at work.
If you're seeing performance degradation as a result of including exceptions in your application the exceptions are generally not themselves to blame.

The surrounding code can be a culprit. For instance, if you have a conditional that's not so easily predicted that in turn throws an exception then the cost comes not from the exception but from the branch misprediction.

It all boils down to orders of magnitude. The overhead of a branch + exception is going to be a few cycles. That said, only in a really hot code path (eg; vectorized matrix operations) where I'm really pushing FLOPS then I'll avoid throwing exceptions. Realtime code is another place where avoiding exceptions is wise (since their cost is usually negligible but non-constant due to the exception frame). Otherwise, I have yet to see a benchmark that shows detrimental performance loss in all but the hottest loops.
If you really want to see the post there's a setting in your profile. Turn "showdead" to "on".

Is this health insurance purchased via your employer? If so, is your employer subsidizing it?

Double digit premiums sound ridiculous, even for a male in their 20s. As a data point, I'm a <30 male, never been to a doctor with no health issues that I can tell, and my HDHP premium is $310ish, last year it was $275ish, but that's using healthcare.gov so completely unsubsidized, and I have a deductible of $1,500/$2,500 and out of pocket max of $3,600/$6,550 for their tier 1/tier 2 providers, respectively (whatever that means).
We have measured many of the examples against the use of temporary files and the web report one against (single-threaded) implementations in Perl and Java. In almost all cases dgsh takes less wall clock time, but often consumes more CPU resources.
This was put perfectly. I didn't realize that this was the reason I used Trello to organize much of my life until I read this.
