Yeah, sorry I was still in grouchy morning mode. I sometimes post, re-read and realise I'm an ass and quickly edit.

I also deleted the bootlegger comment at the same time as well as I realised he'd not personally profiting from it so it's materially a different scenario, so I agree there.

But, I think you're looking at it the wrong way. The quality doesn't matter. Even if it were at 4 px density and colossally compressed audio. Sharing exemptions tend to be limited in scope, lending the physical copy so you can't use it at the same time, less than X number of people at a shared screening, etc. Some of the scenarios you can come up with are technically illegal, just no-one's going to enforce them. You might not remember but back in the day coaches weren't supposed to screen films from video tapes and it was explicitly stated in the copyright notices, but they did any way. They probably still do. But if a free cinema had set up and just started screening bootlegged films, they would have got raided and convicted because of the difference in scale.

Say I share a TV show or two with friends electronically. At worst if the law found out they'll tell me to cut it out. If I start hosting the TV show on a website and 100,000 people download it, you can be damn sure someone's going to ensure I'm going to feel the full scope of the law down my neck.

It's the same with this. If it hadn't got shared outside his friend group, even if they found out, no-one would have probably bothered doing anything apart from maybe send a warning not to do it again. But he knew 100,000+ people were using his stream, he was identified, contacted and he declined to stop. That he was ignorant of the law, or he was sharing in a newish way is not a defence.

From my pov, this isn't even new, my old housemate used to stream football games from illegal streams every weekend, I don't really see how this is any different just because it's using Facebook.
If I were you, I'd either:

1.) Keep contributing to open source and working on/releasing/blogging about/otherwise promoting side projects.

2.) Contact founders directly via email and ask about job/contract opportunities.

The bigger your profile/the more samples of your work out there, the easier it will be to get positive responses out cold emails.

No, this is often about having a working exit strategy. Similar things happen in many countries right now, usually by getting a/the pregnant wife into the country, getting citizenship for the child and thus at least residency rights for both parents. Also moving assets continouosly out of China to safer countries. Obviously this is all very expensive, since they need to do it without the state noticing, ie. lots of bribing.
Hats off to you. Most don't even complete this once, you have re-read it. It will be great if you can tell what made you re-read this one?
say I never walk through the aisles anymore (not saying the store wouldn't allow it, but it's so convenient to pickup that people like me might never do it). I'd no longer get inspiration for meals, or learn about a new brand of cereal, or see that the competitor's eggs are $1 off, or that the bakery just got fresh salmon from Alaska. I would actually want to keep abreast of what products are available in my store.

Bonus if the "updates" (ads) were targeted to me. If I were vegetarian, it should know not to show me about prime rib, for instance. If it sees I only buy granola or mainly health foods, don't give me ads about lucky charms. and not 30 second commercials either, just quick intros, with video/pictures, and a few facts about relevant products.

The attention to technical detail in this book is awesome. Mentioning the priority inversion bug on the lander made me smile.
I had a friend I met doing open source who was still in high school. He was similarly looking for work, and eventually found a summer gig between his Jr and Sr year of high school.

The thing that got him in the door was attending meetups. We were doing JavaScript stuff so he attended his local NodeJS meetup and met some people who eventually hired him. So if you're in a location where they have dev meetups I'd get out and attend, talk to people, maybe even present.
"if you want a bad laptop" is insulting for two reasons:

- Nobody "wants" a bad laptop, since that contradicts the definition of badness. A more accurate, less insulting phrasing would be "if you can put up with a bad laptop", i.e. there's an associated cost which you may or may not consider worth it.

- The laptop's clearly not "bad" in some objective sense, since nobody would have put in the effort if it were. It's probably subjectively bad to many people, in which case it's clearly not meant for them, but that's a property of the person (or person/laptop relation) rather than of the laptop.

Yes definitely, just really pointing out that the Node community probably has more in common to those languages community and motivations than the C++, Java, Haskell community (just to pick some examples) for many differing reasons.
It's also driven by the fact that a lot of people (and many corporate travel departments) pick flights strictly based on price so anything you can do to appear at the top of the travel agent listing sorted by price gets you business.
Well, I got the impression that the book is an introduction, targeting newbies. Some things look out of place there, like cryptography and distributed systems. Maybe he needed to fill the pages, I don't know. But don't take it seriously, nobody is really going to look at those things and understand what they are about or make any use of them. People are going to have to learn a lot more to even get to a reliable networking service in Go, this book is not going to cut it.

How does that have any relation to being open source? I'm currently using a second-hand laptop, but I specifically paid more for it because it is "Respects Your Freedom" certified (from https://minifree.org )
It takes a lot of courage for a person to reveal how they learned. Learning is about making mistakes, doing things the wrong way, and then having to recover. It's too easy for others to imply superiority by asserting/proving they would/did not make the same mistakes.

Providing a blog post is completely different, as this is a narrative composed after the fact, not a historical record of lessons. Here, the author is explicitly choosing to reveal specific lessons learned, but has the dignity of concealing the learning mistakes by which they're particularly embarrassed. They can humblebrag about the hardships of writing something cool, like a JSON deserializer - nobody need know their embarrassing hardships, such as the 3 days they spent debugging, only to find they had a hardcode hiding in the variable init section.
I think there are challenges in the analysis dept: many higher ups are too clueless to know what they want or interpret what they can get.

> That includes all income, including gifts.

Many who make claims of poverty can be disengenuous. Income generally excludes non-cash payments from other government programs. You "make" 25,900 a year and get to keep claiming poverty after free healthcare, free housing, free food, free daycare, free internet, free bus transit, etc.

It is the way it calculated, but most of these "poor" live very good lives significantly in excess of their paper poverty. Sometimes far better lives than those making just enough to not qualify for government assistance at all.

This happens in my midwest suburb commonly. It is an unfortunate side effect, more for the middle class than for the poor.

I can't stress enough how wrong this is. The majority of mediocre programmers will take anything written in a book as gospel. When their boss tells them to encrypt the customer data, there is a non negligible chance they will go straight to a cryptography section in a book they read and copy it.

So my parents sent my sister to a private boarding school in the UK(we're not from UK), paying more than $40k/year for the privilege, and the be honest with you, they didn't know exactly what to expect. For them, it was just getting her the best possible opportunity in life, the connections and the ability to go to any university she would like to after. But they genuinely had no idea how the British education system works. I would say it was a huge gamble as well, since we are definitely not millionaires and sending her to that school consumed 100% of their disposable income, without any guarantee it would result in what they hoped it would.

I would say my sister has gained tremendously from attending that school, but in a way, apart from knowing that school X is the best school in the country, my parents really "didn't realise" what they were doing, in a sense. So it's no surprise to me that Chinese parents sending their kids to US "don't realise what they are doing" - they just want to give their kids the best chance in life.
Probably my favorite novel. And, unfortunately, more relevant than ever.

Color quantization using k-means
I don't subscribe to all or nothings. Nobody is "always" a jerk. Nobody is "always" lazy. Neither are companies solely profit motivated. We don't live in a pure capitalist environment. This isn't a Ayn Rand novel. For example why would Google pay for free food for employees, why would other startups invest in so many "perks" to appease their employees.

I just think unions would dilute the market with highly paid developers on average but then average developers. Once you get the title of developer and get to be part of this union all developers regardless of skill would be paid the same. How is that fair? (If that's not how unions work then I cede my point).

By that logic the book is useless, because there is pretty much nothing in the book that can be used in a real world without problems.
For those put off by the title, Felix Dennis is/was a billionaire and makes a point of differentiating himself from people becoming wealthy giving advice about how to become wealthy.

He dropped out of high-school and bummed cigarettes and crashed at friends, apparently. He talks about several lessons and how he remained associated with several people who've helped him when he was "nothing". The case of a banker who agreed to open a bank account for him despite being broke out of sympathy/pity.

Dennis likes to write poetry and some of the passages are intense and tear worthy (van Gogh passage). The style is to the point, tells it as it is (He doesn't hesitate to state that his employees are not likely to become wealthy working for him and that he encourages them to fly on their own. He also talks about the less flattering aspects of doing business and says that even between friends, they were on good terms because none of them depended on the venture to survive. He also says never to give shares of your company to anyone and to remain in control).

In his subsequent book, 88, he states that people didn't get that "How to Get Rich" was a cautionary tale about what it takes to become wealthy, which is obvious from many passages in the book. [One of which is when he says he'd rather have stopped at £30 million and wrote poetry while young, instead of pursuing becoming rich at an old age).

It's a worthy read in style and content.

Dennis is buying forests the Government can't take care of in a philanthropic effort to save them.
It still blows my mind that people have to define Vec3 and Vec4 types. These should be native to modern programming languages as should Vec2. Modern CPUs have vector registers that can support these sizes and GCC has intrinsics for them that can be passed by value (even returned from a function IIRC), added and subtracted or multiplied by a scaler, and yet no language that I'm aware of has them as built-in types.

Vectors are not just for parallel computations, these small sized ones deserve to be a proper data type.

I mentioned this awhile back when a similar topic came up. Awhile back I wrote a small crawler/search engine for onion sites that didn't log visitor info, just the search terms. After about a week if running I went back to see what people were searching for and the majority of it was child porn. I was totally shocked. I had anticipated cracking and warez type stuff but not child porn, or at least not at the levels I was seeing. I shut down the app after that :(

These are headlines that have a definite negative slant.

With that logic you can't benchmark anything.

Which then mean much much less than what they did in the 70s and 80s (due to "qualifications inflation").

Here's a chart showing WMT growing annual revenue by $400B from 1995 to 2015 (from $80B to $480B) while AMZN grew from $0 to $100B. Over the same time period WMT made $217B in net income over the 21 years while AMZN made $2.6B.

http://revenuesandprofits.com/amazon-vs-walmart-revenues-pro...

Amazon needs to grow 5x the size it is today to reach Wal-Mart scale. They can get there and they're growing more quickly which is why the market has AMZN worth $388B market cap vs. $205B for WMT.

Amazon has a long way to go, I believe they can become the first trillion dollar revenue company but it won't be without a fight from Wal-Mart, FedEx/UPS, regional groceriers, Alibaba (I expect to see them in the US market in 2017), etc.

For Amazon to reach WMT revenue, assume WMT stays flat now and AMZN continues to grow at 27% Y/Y it'd be 2022 before the pass WMT in scale. If they average half of their current growth rate over the full period to reach WMT's current scale it won't happen until 2026 -- basically another full decade.

>It seems like what these parents really want for their kids is enculturation, but they don't realise it. A western education on its own is still rather limiting when it comes to career and life success.

You'd be surprised. Those asian kids will do far better than university and job-wise than most american ones in the same high schools -- because of sheer determination (and parental pressure).

As for life success, that's not guaranteed even if you are a millionaire, so it's a moot point.

Accurate. The 2.2 and various hacks compensate for the baked in hardware.

Although perception is nonlinear, the nonlinearity here specifically addresses hardware on standard sRGB displays. After all, as cited above, why would you apply a nonlinear correction for perception when it has that baked in?

What is missed by many, is that standard LCD technology, despite being inherently linear, has that low level hardware nonlinearity baked in. Typically, it is a flat 2.2 power function, although other displays or modes may use differing transfer functions.

The irony is that the nonlinear 2.2 function adopted into most imaging results in a closer-to-linear signal, that ends up further nonlinear based on tonemapping, SMPTE2084, or other such nonlinear adjustments for technical or aesthetic reasons. In the case of raytracing, a mere 2.2 adjustment is woefully worthless.

PS: The CIE1931 model, of which the RGB encoding model is effectively derived from, used visual energy. That is, it doesn't model "reality" so much as the psychophysical byproduct that happens in the brain. Luckily, the base model, XYZ, operates on a linear based model with some extremely nuanced caveats. Raytracing using RGB tristimulus models as a result, sort of work.

Reach out to the folks using the open source software you've written or contribute to. To these folks, you are already vetted -- they rely on your code and they "know" you from the community around the projects.

Different projects have different norms around job seeking, so this might take the form of reaching out 1:1 to other contributors or users you have interacted with, or it might take the form of "Hey, I'm looking for a new job..." to the mailing list for the project. Do understand the norms for the projects though, as sending a blanket "I'm looking for a new gig" to some places will lead to being ostracized, whereas for others it will lead to flurry of folks reaching out. If in doubt, reach out directly.
Promises are to Streams what single values are to arrays/collections.

Promises are all fine and dandy for "do this, wait for that, do that", but they are not powerful enough to express "every time this happens, do that".

I guess you're coming from a JS background as you are using the word "Promises". Imagine instead of registering a callback for mouse click events, you have a stream of mouse events where you can listen to. This is exactly how it works in Angular 2 [1].

It's serfs and masters, and it always has been. Since a few hundred years ago, a creative/merchant/white collar class clawed their way a bit above the serfs, but the gap between all of us and the 1% is still enormous. Sure there are individual outliers between those two close lumps on the scale, and between the very distant lump and the rest of us, but lest we forget, those that have the gold make the rules.
CUDA C++ is technically its own language, which is mostly implemented using a preprocessor; nvcc performs some translation and then passes generated C++ to your compiler of choice. The kernel launch syntax, along with a few implicit includes and macros for __device__ and __global__ are (afaik) the only things that really distinguish it from vanilla C++.
Or perhaps SQLite, since it should perform similar to writing to a CSV file and you get querying out of the box afterwards.
I'm not sure that is a problem...historically the department of Energy (DOE) has lead Supercomputing efforts in the USA and they have focused on other domains of interest (particularly nuclear weapons research). This field is actually not unrelated, in terms of HPC capabilities, Numerical linear algebra, etc to the recent AI work. But physical simulation remains the top priority in part because AI is not seen as an energy technology.

I can state without hesitation that some of the greatest minds in Supercomputing and computational science are permanent members of the staff at these DOE research labs. These staff are selected much like the top AI researchers: academic pedigree and publications in top tier research journals.

Therefore, I think it is more a problem of application. Until government has a killer AI app, it will be hard to justify a massive investment in AI tech at scale. Contrast that with large companies who have already deployed AI tech in production...
