Perhaps it's not an issue, but it's not like Carmack learned stuff as an employee. He has been the principle architect of the graphics engine for every product he's worked on for the last 20 years. How do you take that out of your head when you change companies but stay in the same field?
Some people are product visionaries... while I agree with your approach for market-driven products, what would your advice be for people who start with a product instead of a userbase?

Read the source for the compiler and find all the differences. There are constantly minor semantic changes, like numeric conversions, double parsing, scope of generated temps in for loops, delegate conversions, Nothing, etc.

I just started typing this list off the top of my head and every time I typed something out I could think of one more thing. And these are just the ones I remember, so they're probably the ones that were annoying to work around in the compiler.
Yeah. A recent example: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/an-interview-with-sim...

> There have been some issues, specifically around certain drivers, issues with Mesa and Intel hardware. I’m hoping all of those are behind us and will remain so. Unlike a lot of other communities, Linux users are quite aware of a lot of the issues with their platform and will usually be OK to wait for an update to fix their issues.

This is opposed to OSX where the updates break things horribly. The support for the OpenGL standard in their drivers has been lacklustre for years and it's only getting worse. They now want developers to move to their proprietary API Metal, but I'm jaded enough not to fall for that. And don't even get me started on having to shell out £3000 for a mid spec dev machine.
I don't think that's the argument being made. But that by learning X or Y, you can add a lot of substance or perspectives to your life that you may not have had before. These 'things' more likely than not can bring many positives to aspects of your life that aren't related.
Having just served on a jury, I can say that I've actually gained some confidence in the American justice system and its use of a jury of peers. When it comes down to it, the task for the jury is fairly straightforward, narrow, and well-defined: to examine the facts as laid out in the trial and to objectively execute the law as it is defined at the time while being fair and impartial. Their backgrounds and prior knowledge and experience are not supposed to come into play, and to the extent that the judge and attorneys have chosen a panel of objective, intelligent jurors, their backgrounds really do not and should not matter.

I recently read a comment that framed the law as being software. After my experience, I've come to think of juries as being the computers that run such "software" in the context of a trial: to execute the instructions as handed down by the judge, given the evidence and testimonies as factual inputs and to ultimately output a verdict that follows (as closely as possible) the rules codified in the law.

I feel that the problem really lies in the evidence provided by the expert witness. In this particular case, it sounds like there was an expert witness on both sides, but perhaps one witness was more effective than the other, at least to the jury. To reduce any bias, ideally there are (many) multiple witnesses providing testimony on the same issues, so that the evidence presented will average out to be as close to the factual truth as possible. Unfortunately, that's almost certainly not scalable in the context of a trial.

Note that you're reinventing the Votomatic voting machine [1] which is used to punch holes in a standard-sized IBM punched card. It was invented in 1963 and has been used in multiple US elections.

I like IBM punched card equipment as much as anyone [2], but I feel obligated to point out that punched-card voting led to big problems in the 2000 election when ballots in Florida had "hanging chad" and the election ended up being decided by the Supreme Court. (I wonder what fraction of HN readers remember this, and what fraction consider this ancient history.)

You are assuming that immigration has no externalized costs; I think it's pretty clear that it does. While I will certainly agree that the actual design of our immigration system is far from optimal in dealing with them, the idea that unregulated immigration so long as employer and employee find mutual benefit is desirable as that mutual benefit internal to the transaction implies total net benefit to society is, IMO, deeply flawed.

I don't think pursuing a career in academia was what he had in mind when he said 'do mathematics'. In fact he said specifically:

I won't trust it. Why? I want to watch NBA games and I do so via the NBC Sports Roku app. It is the worst streaming experience I have ever had. Some of the problems:

* randomly degrades to unwatchable resolutions at least once during a game (and immediately switching to Netflix or Amazon or doing traceroutes on my network show the problem isn't mine).

* it randomly goes back in time, sometimes 5-10 minutes and you can't FF.

* it both allows live viewing of games and replays. For replays, FF does not work. It pretends to work, but when you find your spot it randomly skips forward and backward.

* when you start it, it automatically plays a commercial (for me, for Honda). Even if you stop streaming and go right back in (to fix problems caused by the above), it plays the commercial.

* the commercials clip the game play. Often when live action is rejoined, a minute or two have been missed of the game.

Comcast is terrible. I hate them. They have a monopoly on the NBA team I love. I hate them.

Depends. In my dictionary, "common sense" mostly means suboptimal things people do because they don't bother to think about what they're doing. A lot of the "live hacks" I've seen are things that fly in the face of lots of people, who would implore you to "stop doing silly things".

Or maybe I just grew up in a bad, uninventive environment.
Am I alone in rejecting this new wave of Electron/node-webkit based text editors? Every single one I've tried has been horribly slow, unstable, and a giant resource hog. I gave Atom a shot, and it crashed on importing a .csv file of a few thousand lines. What I want from a text editor is simply that: a text editor. For anything more advanced, move up to a proper IDE. Why anyone uses these over something like Sublime or NP++ blows me away.

> Why does it matter to Comcast whether I watch on one, two, or fifteen TVs in my house? It doesn't cost them any more money (aside from the initial in-house cabling and splitters)

Because it's something that you value, and they have the ability to charge for it. So they do. It has nothing to do with their own cost function.

In an uncompetitive market (which largely describes the residential cable market, at least to a first-order approximation), there is no pressure for the price to converge to the average cost[0] of delivering the service.

The worst offender I've found so far is that Comcast blocks HBO GO on Tivo. I can use HBO GO on one of the smart TVs, and if you have another cable provider you can use HBO GO on the Tivo, but for some reason, Comcast won't authorize HBO GO on Tivo. I'm pretty sure this is because Tivo actually supports Comcast on-demand which includes the full catalog of HBO GO, but it's frustrating because the on-demand app is very basic, and uses one of the tuners on the main system. Because it has to re-encode one of the live tuners, it tends to be a little bit more buggy on the Tivo mini boxes that we have spread around the house.

Overall, if it wasn't for Comcast on-demand being supported on Tivo, we'd just switch to FiOS and keep the Tivo system, which works marvelously. As it is on-demand is just too convenient for catching up on recent episodes of a show if you forget to Tivo it.

VSCode + TypeScript is the perfect foot-in-door for MS to get into the web space.

They're both excellent products by themselves, but also give Microsoft the platform to start dangling turnkey Azure integration in front of developers.

Also what you have on hand. 20 years ago I bought about 100 LM324's for a dirt cheap price. I drag one out whenever I need a non-precision amp or comparator.
I was just trying to convey an example. I usually "signal" that the parent wants to stop this "actor" for some reason (e.g graceful shutdown).

If parent need a "done" channel, it passes it in and "actor" closes it on its way out.

Cleanup usually "signals" children and waits for them to be "done".

Sometimes "done" is just signalled by the goroutine returning and it is wrapped in parent somehow.

But every time I try to formalize it into some "framework" my abstraction fails.

I think it's the best OS I've used yet really. I remember getting BSOD many times on Windows XP and several times on Win 7 (although they were so rare they were the exception).
Almost always those previous iterations had some peripheral that needed help being configured but with Win 10 I haven't had to touch almost anything.

My computer has changed to be not comparable to those previous though because I now have a nice GPU, a nice CPU, and a SSD. So any speed improvements, graphic improvements, etc are skewed by the hardware changes I've made since.

I didn't turn off anything except the privacy that I could. It's just that I don't have a use case for most of the features (yet).
This was my thinking and experience when I set out to build Cachoid[0]. There's so much to gain from caching stuff in RAM it should be ubiquitous. The thing is CDNs don't always have the scale to stick all tenants in RAM. Hence the caching to disk.

Yup. That, and access to military technology and intelligence on issues of mutual concern.
One more thing (can't edit the other comment), I am talking about the late 80s / early 90s, not the 70s. I am not from the US, so it is possible that the "protect the children" mentality was adopted later here. Kids were definitely still free to roam around in 1990.

> Do we really need three expensive dynos, or a $50/mo database plan?

Sounds like there's the chance to optimize for what is, as they say, a static website. Why for a database that you're not using? (And what kind of a database plan do you have when it costs $50/month when it's apparently a (nearly?) empty database?!)
me either, any ideas on how we can do this? I'm currently supposedly guaranteed 100mbs yet my 50mbs fios was leaps and bounds better than one I'm getting now [fios not available in my new area]

As far as I understand it nobody but the git team is paying for hosting. Why neither Github or Heroku are paying for this? They are built on top of git. Millions of tech dollars go to political causes right now yet nobody is willing to give $230/mo of free hosting to git website, the most used VCS today? Talk about priorities. And it's not the first time, plenty of open source projects used by billion dollar companies receive 0 of funding.

Edit: GIthub seems to be paying for that but Heroku shouldn't even bill them.
A raspberry pi is also not a CDN. Why even manage servers when all you need is a static site? Deploy to a CDN and if properly configured, everything just works.

Especially with the site being considered in 'maintenance mode', I doubt they want to manage a server aside from the other things they need to do.
