I spent many, many hours with my family's TI-99/4A. I think my parents got it from Radioshack, as we had a Realistic tape deck to store programs with it. It was the base model with the speech synthesizer.

It was the first computer I had ever used, and learned to program in BASIC at around 6 or 7 years old. I don't think I would be interested in programming and electronic circuits (and by extension, electronic music composition) if it wasn't for that early exposure.

This is a great demo to see. You almost never hear of the 99/4A anymore.
My two favorite models that reflect the digital reality are recurring patronage (Patreon, et al) that supports the ongoing work of a creator, or crowdfunded bounties (Unglue.it, Kickstarter, etc.) where the work is freely released once its production is paid for.

This is handy. It would be great if you could add Go as a supported service language.
Yeah multi-project views are planned for the next release I'll do. Part of the issue at this point is finding what the "minimum" threshold is to avoid the noise/extra logged time.

At the moment, there's more manual steps than I'd like, but it's still a lot less painful than I was doing when I had to start/stop the timers manually when working before.

I was never a huge fan of parse, having seen startups fail hard when using it, and I've been pretty vocal about that in the past [1]. It was a great idea in principal, but failed pretty hard when faced with the reality of non-toy development.

I generally hate to see projects fail, but in this case I'm not terribly upset. I think that people were getting sucked into the ease of getting apps up and running quickly, then spending 2-3x the effort getting past that initial stage versus doing it in a more traditional stack.

Perhaps the open-source server might give the community some opportunity to fix the many, many glaring bugs and problems, but I have felt like the specific design of Parse itself was just too flawed to succeed.

I have seen a fair number of "abrupt" and poorly executed shutdowns on HN over the last few years, and although I don't use Parse, I feel as though the team did a good job sunsetting this over the last year. Thank you for the product, the open sourced version, and for not ditching your community! Best of luck to everyone who worked on the team
I would suggest that it's just a misunderstanding of "San Francisco" vs. the "San Francisco Bay Area," but then I'd expect pictures of other bay area places.

I'm not even really sure what these pictures are trying to say, anyways. I don't live in SF, but I've been there a lot, and these pictures don't look much more different from current reality than most large cities between mid-20th century and early 21st. If anything, it may be distinctly less different looking than most.
So buying Pebble was nothing but their previous try at surviving in a challenging wearable market? It's really difficult to wrap my head around these two recent moves in a way that makes sense.
Is your checklist copyrighted? Can I use it?
I just found it weird that you chose the word 'gift' as something less innate than a 'talent'. It's also interesting that 'talent' used to have the meaning 'A desire or inclination for something', which is similar to your use of the word gift.

Anyway, I won't say the way you're using those words is wrong, language is after all pretty flexible, it just didn't seem like the most obvious choice.

>This is extremely superficial, arrogant, even offensive to people who voted for Trump.

It's also what Trump supporters on this very site and elsewhere have stated to be their rationale. Trump was meant to be a "brick through the window of the establishment" thrown by angry, conservative, lower-middle class white voters driven to desperation by globalism and liberal cultural oppression, who wanted the existing system destroyed so that something more representative of their values could replace it. Various articles have been written about the phenomenon, so clearly it was a factor.
Poor Wilhelm Reich.

Whatever you think about the validity of his research, it must have been agonizing for him to watch so much of his work literally go up in flames. It's hard to imagine how such destruction of knowledge could ever be justified.

If you are, or plan to be, in the New England area, I highly recommend visiting 'Orgonon', Reich's former home and current museum in Rangeley, Maine. It's fascinating and tragic.
You can encode and store an entire tree path/sequence in a single rational number.

The encoded number is reversible -- the number is encoded in such a way that you can algorithmically calculate/derive each node's parents and ancestors without querying the database or traversing the tree. Possible siblings and children can be calculated the same way (if they exist).

More exotic adaptations might include a form of semantic content-based addressing by mapping the code to coordinates in a metric space. For example, see the similar Calkin-Wilf H-tree layout: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calkin–Wilf_tree#Definition_an...
The abstract says:

> We test a class of holographic models for the very early universe against cosmological observations and find that they are competitive to the standard ΛCDM model of cosmology. These models are based on three dimensional perturbative super-renormalizable Quantum Field Theory (QFT), and while they predict a different power spectrum from the standard power-law used in ΛCDM, they still provide an excellent fit to data (within their regime of validity). By comparing the Bayesian evidence for the models, we find that ΛCDM does a better job globally, while the holographic models provide a (marginally) better fit to data without very low multipoles (i.e. l≲30), where the dual QFT becomes non-perturbative. Observations can be used to exclude some QFT models, while we also find models satisfying all phenomenological constraints: the data rules out the dual theory being Yang-Mills theory coupled to fermions only, but allows for Yang-Mills theory coupled to non-minimal scalars with quartic interactions. Lattice simulations of 3d QFT's can provide non-perturbative predictions for large-angle statistics of the cosmic microwave background, and potentially explain its apparent anomalies.

The evidence appears to be "this is almost as good as state-of-the-art normal cosmic inflation theory." Which is to say, it's more of a lack of proof against than strong evidence for--it's not providing explanations for unexplained observances.
Actually, the big bang bears a pretty striking resemblance to a white hole. That's the time-reversed version of a black hole. Whereas with a black hole, all paths lead toward the singularity at its core, with a white hole, all paths lead away from the singularity.
What then? This:

"it seems like you are missing the point: in a pervasivly racist society, discriminatory behaviors creep in the subconscious of everyone, black/white/antiracist/whatever, and we have to consciously struggle with them."

School starts at 8.45 and ends at 15.30hrs here. Without shifting work hours, it's outright impossible to take care of kids with 2 working partners, unless you want the kids to spend a lot of time in aftercare etc. With shifting hours, it's possible by shifting both partners relative to each other, so IMHO this is a point in favor of flex hours. In reality, most families need help from grandparents, too.

I've been a volunteer for Mozilla since 2000 and got hired in 2010. I've been through thick and thin, and I deeply believe in Mozilla Manifesto and care about the role we serve in making the Internet a public resource.

From the article:

> To optimize cold start overheads, Fission keeps a running pool of containers for each environment. When a request for a function comes in, Fission doesn't have to deploy a new container -- it just chooses one that's already running, copies the function into the container, loads it dynamically, and routes the request to that instance. The overhead of this process takes on the order of 100msec for NodeJS and Python functions.

100 ms of overhead is pretty steep. Google recommends a limit of twice that for the entire server response (https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/Server#rec...):

> You should reduce your server response time under 200ms

Still, I've heard that AWS Lambda may run around 200 ms, so perhaps Fission is doing OK here.

But with modern progress in fast-starting compiled languages like Go and Rust, I'd love to have some easy way to supply small static binaries instead of source code. With compiled web server frameworks, it's feasible to handle over 250,000 (very simple) requests per second, or thousands of requests while Fission is trying to figure out where to send your source code. It doesn't always make sense to pay for interpreter startup overhead on every request (EDIT: this is not the case according to the Fission developers), especially not now that compiled code is so easy.

The support on non-Ubuntu distributions differ. The sandboxing requires AppArmor. Various distributions use SELinux and that support isn't there (obviously on the todo). Further, heard that even with AppArmor a distribution needed to apply some AppArmor patches to the kernel.

They run on various distributions, but not in the same way.
Why is an American STEM worker any better than an equal or greater qualified foreign worker? Companies should hire based on merit. I very much doubt there's an insidious Liberal plot to subvert American workers with what sounds very much like free-market capitalism.
There are already a few real universities of dubious value that profit from the current situation. I've seen former coworkers work 1-2 years after graduating, save up to be able to afford a Masters in one of those bottom tier universities, and they're now employed on OPT status.
Yes. We are not entitled to anything, including being protected from competition of robots and those living in a low cost country.
Why all the down-votes? I'm an atheist and I found this comment amusing.
The loss of those classes bothers me. My 10th grader just finished a class in Sheet Metal Fabrication and loved it. He's now taking Welding and plans to do Electronics next year. He signed up for sewing, but it was cancelled due to lack of interest. I can't remember the last time he was that interested in anything at school

What's his motivation? He wanted to make costumes for ComicCon and accidentally found something he really enjoys doing.

These classes are increasingly rare. Our school district is primarily rural kids, and skills like the above are obviously useful on farms. But the reality is that pushing everyone to college ignores that there are many very smart kids out there who have no interest in college-level academics, or will simply not thrive in that environment. However, they may be fantastic machinists, CAD technicians, electricians, etc.
Regarding the raindrop thing. Why would the production company ever hire someone for that? The article makes it sound like they are forced to.

Well, Parsec is very far from this demo, if the window is small it's for speed. The demo is full screen, which is impressive.
And Parsec is coherent with what the hardware had to offer for the 3D those years, like Elite.
I don't understand using this to learn a language. It might help you get the syntax, but there's no way to understand semantic concepts happening behind the scene. Just imagine trying to understand monads by memorizing how to use them. Personally, syntax isn't something I've ever struggled to retain, and apart from that I feel like this would be much too much work to learn a new language.

> 1980s (based on the age of the pictures)

What? The pictures are clearly older, from 1950-1960s(maybe early 1970s) timeframe. Certainly not 1980s. Look at the cars, the fashion clothes.
No, but once you start invoking undefined behaviour, all bets are off.

For example, there are compilers that print nothing for the following function, with uninitialised 'i', whereas some programmers assume that i must take "some value", so one of A and B will be printed.

int func() {
int i;
if(i > 0) printf("A");
if(i <= 0) printf("B");
}
My four years at Microsoft: How everything changed
H1B visas tie you to your employer, so you have no leverage to increase your wages.

Sure you do: you can find a new employer willing to spend a couple of thousand (i.e. a lot less than recruiting costs) on transferring the visa.

There is no barrier to a Mexican illegal immigrant changing jobs whatsoever.

I'm all in favor of making it easier for people to come to the US and productively work for willing employers (whether high skilled Indians or low skilled Mexicans). But it's pretty clear that this isn't what Trump is proposing.
> I'm not sure if I'm just old, or if everything is getting to be too expensive.

Yes.

(I say this a someone else who is getting old and everything is too expensive).
What's the shame in being a great prototyping tool? While it's not the right choice for everything in your stack, it's definitely one of the fastest ways to get a service or product off the ground.

My company came out of a similar place with Firebase. The initial version of our product was written 100% against Firebase. This was absolutely a good choice when it was made, but -- surprise! -- two years later, we had to start involving other databases. Was it harder than any other two-years-in scaleup? I didn't find it so. And we still use it where it makes sense.

Not surprising that s3 is in the lead, but somewhat that Azure is growing so fast, while Google is not. Of course, not representative of all use cases, but still, probably a pretty good proxy for overall cloud market share.
That's a good idea - It would be fairly easy to add to the main settings, but then allowing per-project rates would require a few more UI updates. Happy to add better support for this type of usage!

I generally don't bill hourly, so I'm more concerned with the hours spent on various projects/components. And especially how they relate to future project estimates.
Because conservative, old Muslim men never call anyone "gay", right? For wearing a trendy piece of clothing, for example?

My male friend has been called "gay" a few times because he likes Broadway shows.

You can believe in any hearsay you want, but at the end of the day, this was a US-hating, Muslim guy/couple, killing LGBT people (for whom many Muslims have special hatred, and like to throw them off the roofs).

And there you go... there's the answer to everything. A black hole on one side and, on the other side (the side we don't know), there's a whole new universe being sprung up. Each input goes to the output of a different black/white hole combo.
They're talking about cold start, not long-term performance. After the initial warm up period, performance should be as fast as Node/Python can execute it. It's the same experience for Lambda and Cloud Functions in my experience.
That'd be a cable car, I think. It's pulled along by a cable embedded in the middle 'rail', afaik.
It's worth noting that a big part of what hit Big Print and Big Music was democratization, not just SV. Where it used to be only a few people could publish blogs and make music to the quality of a Real Recording Artist, regular Joe's and Jane's all over (and a number of big name DJ's) all got started making shit with Garageband and the like. Audio editors used to be exclusive software and required beefy (for the time) computers to use, now? A low end Macbook can easily stand in for the majority of what you'd find in a recording studio, as long as you output in mp3 at a reasonable bitrate, the mainstream consumer could never tell the difference.

Same thing is now happening to movies, GIF makers on Imgur belt out effects that look like pro movie work for the cost of Adobe After Effects (or not, their morals depending) and I've seen fan films for various franchises that could easily stand toe to toe with budget movies.

I think this trend toward the costs of entertainment creation going down are what's really going to eat the creative industry's lunch, including Netflix and the like eventually. Once we get to the point where a few friends can create something on the level of, just pulling something out here, Orange is the New Black over a few weekends at an investment of 20 grand? Why even pay Netflix at that point? We're already seeing a near infinite amount of free content created by people who just wanted to make things, without even intending to get rich in the process. Sure, the quality is hit and miss but how is that terribly different from Hollywood these days?

Sorry for the ramble, hope I got my point across.

It was a bit tongue in cheek, but it's not so much that I've forgotten about them, but that I think people giving this advice tend to forget that many folks just don't buy paper books, notepads to sketch or write on, pens and pencils, etc.
Maybe I'm just insanely lucky, but having worked with a "biased-early" schedule for a number of tech companies in and out of Silicon Valley, I've not once witnessed looks or comments about when I go home. Now, if someone's strolling in at 11AM and leaving at 4PM (which I have seen often), they shouldn't be surprised if that behavior raises a few eyebrows.
I've never worked at a place without a domain expert.

If the company's new, then everybody's aware that they're learning, and so they actively seek expertise. If the place is old, then I've always been able to find people who understand the domain; they've been soaking in it for years.

What you're asking for is something a little different, somebody who can feed you a pre-digested analysis, one suitable for understanding/designing the code. That definitely doesn't exist. That person must be us.

We understand our domain, computers. They understand their domain, business. They will never understand computers particularly well. So it's incumbent on us to lead the collaboration to create a shared domain model, a formal map of their territory.

Of course, some places do try to stop us from working in the ways that are most effective, to treat us as robots. When that happens, the old Agile advice applies: either change your organization or change your organization.

The XBox mention was interesting. I wonder if there's a market for a machinima-style series, with distribution done via the Microsoft Store (if they have subscription pricing). Lots of Hollywood actors do voice-over work on the side. And since it's all virtual, you wouldn't have the overhead of union-rate costumers, craft-services, lighting techs, and so on.
A serverless framework using k8s to hide the servers make a lot of sense
As someone who worked at Accenture, I'm not sure how to prove it? It was literally the entire business model. It was made quite clear to me, as an American hire, that I was a white american face to slap onto projects to talk to clients, and to act as educated engineering quality control / failsafe, for all work done in India or by Indians that they would fly into the US and rotate according to whatever the legal requirements were for each individual.

When I left, they had completely stopped hiring in America all together. Instead, they were focusing on hiring in Monterey, Mexico. When I asked how they were going to get these new "developers" to work on stateside projects, I got to learn about the logistics of literally buying and driving school buses full of 'developers' over the US - Mexican border on a weekly basis.
