Citation needed.

US corporations not only readily work with dodgy regimes, they also work with drug cartels. China has horrible human rights records, but US corporations readily deal with the Chinese govt when there is money or market-share to be gained.
+1 on that. There are a number of online build-to-order shops here in the UK which offer a truly vast range of component combinations. Better still, the order process automatically checks for compatibility with, for example, your choice of motherboard.

Strong disagree.

There should be funding bodies for projects like this who can fund projects and also provide a semblance of orchestration. The Linux Foundation (with the Core Infrastructure Initiative) and the Cloud Native Compute Foundation are already working in the right direction, imo.

There are other organizations that work through contracting work to develop free and open source software. Red Hat and Canonical are obvious ones. But there's also smaller outfits like Continuum Analytics, Igalia, The SQlite Consortium.

Further, there are loads of technology incubators and VCs who would do well to fund projects like Octave to make sure their Data Science startups can rely on these tools.

New eCommerce business | Business partner | US-resident only | REMOTE

I am looking for a business partner responsible for non-technical side of running an almost automated e-commerce system for selling on Amazon. Your role would be in identifying suitable suppliers (competitive pricing & automatable), building and developing business relationships and handling customer issues. This usually takes 15-60 minutes/day and a regular routine is a must. We can start with 1-2 suppliers I know already.

Company must be incorporated in Delaware or Nevada, preferably as LLC. Initial required capital share $1-2k, up to 50% company share for you (ownership & profit share), depending on your initial capital share. Company gets a license to my own software, state of art data transformation and repricing used in other companies. The idea is to have a passive income stream with minimum work/attention needed. I already bootstrapped a few profitable companies this way and have time for creating 1-2 additional ones. I expect company to be profitable within 3-4 months with regular monthly expenses <$50.

I am based in Germany and look for a US-resident to run a company with me during US working hours. I'll do the whole tech side, you'd do complete business side. Some of my partners got substantial promotions in their main jobs for skills they learned running a real business with me.

I am looking at automating most of customer or even supplier interaction in the future.

The business is as described; it's unlikely you'd get an access to my time as a "rock-star programmer" as I have plenty of other interesting projects to work on (robotics, self-driving cars, drone photogrammetry, new programming language creation etc.)

Blockсhain for accounting in Ireland

Irish financiers are developing blockchain platform for accounting. Consulting company Deloitte and Irish Stock Association announced the initial work in the development of blockchain platform for required accounting reports. The aim of collaboration is to explore the possibilities of applying blockchain for transparency. Pat Lardner, CEO at Irish Funds, said: "The timely accounting is a key commitment for the members of our association and the priority of the work of the central bank of Ireland in 2017".

Dick Smith didn't die. It was murdered [1]. Long story short, a private equity firm bought out Dick Smith from Woolworth's using money that was on Dick Smith's balance sheet. They did some huge write-offs to lower the (paper) value of the business, sold inventory at a steep discount to boost revenue, and then put the company back on the market, with a P&L statement that looked good, but masked the fact that the company was a husk of its former self. As expected, investors bit, and the private equity firm walked away with a half-billion dollars of profit, while the later investors were left holding the bag.

> Some problems are caused by DBMS to backend and backend-to-frontend network utilization, which is generally not something a specialized DBMS can solve.

I absolutely agree. RDBMSs are the kings of one-size-fits-most. In the NoSQL ecosystem, MongoDB starts growing into this role. Of course, many performance problems are not caused by the backend but rather the network (an average website makes 108 HTTP requests) or the frontend (Angular2 without AOT, I'm looking at you). We took an end-to-end approach to tackle this problem:

1. As objects, files and queries are fetched via a REST API, we can make them cachable at the HTTP level to transparently use browser caches, forward proxies, ISP interception proxies, CDNs and reverse proxies.

2. In order to guarantee cache coherence, we invalidate queries and objects in our CDNs and reverse proxy caches when the change using an Apache Storm-based real-time query matching pipeline.

3. To keep browser up-to-date we ship a Bloom filter to the client indicating any data that has a TTL that is non-expired but was recently written. This happens inside the SDK. Optionally client can subscribe to queries via websockets (as in Firebase or Meteor).

The above scheme is the core of Baqend and quite effective in optimizing end-to-end web performance. Coupled with HTTP/2 this gives us a performance edge of >10x compared to Firebase and others. The central lesson learned for us is that it's not enough to focus on optimizing one thing (e.g. database performance) when the actual user-perceived problems arise at a different level of the stack.
For all those people who wonder why is the popular XYZ book not on the list:

The algorithm here is to take the links to amazon and make a count of it. Plain and simple.

For a more popular book like SICP, it just going to mentioned by it's acronym as SICP. The expanded version of the title "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" is rarely mentioned and so is the author name. An amazon link would be almost non-existent. This is because, the book is so popular the reader needs no introduction. Unfortunately, as per the logic used for this site, it will not be accounted. The same goes for books whose multiple versions show up in the result.

This is not to put down the dev-books.com site in anyway. To do a disambiguating parser that can parse any format of title and/or author name would increase the complexity and implementation time by orders of magnitude. It would also be completely against the mantra of "Release early and often".
The video says the difference between reals and rationals is that reals can have infinite decimal expansions. But I concede you're right (if a bit pedantic), the complement of reals and rationals is irrationals.

G++ is able to optimize virtual calls to non-virtual calls in most cases (speculative devirtualization) by adding quick checks into the code (like if(obj->vtable == Class::vtable) Class:virtualMethod(obj);) which the JVM would do as well.

So if G++ is able to tell the code paths leading to the virtual call, it does the same optimization as the JVM.

...really is insufficient to conclude this:

"Now, if you keep topping up supply from overseas, salary never increases as much as it might, as such it is limited - as such, salary rate increase is also capped; and it's not employees ... "

It was just used as a gesture regardless of its actual mathematical meaning. "Assume" could honestly have been replaced with: "Resolve a general sense of this iffy expression which supports the following claims:"

Math is not meant to be treated as an ambiguous medium, it is intended to explicate analogies and to manipulate them accurately. I understand you feel that is unreasonable, but it is what math is developed in order to be capable of and what it is used properly for.

Annoying.js: How to be an a**hole
I've had the exact same experience. I could scan the items a lot faster than the machine allows me to (sure, not faster than an experienced human cashier), but it insists me to bag every item, has problems a lot of times when it stops and asks me to call a human agent, can't use some of the gift cards that I want to use with it, and doesn't override the price when the store has advertized a discount and the machine doesn't detect that. Also, for things that don't have barcodes (fruits/vegetables etc.), you have to 'search' from a list and either select the image of the perfect type of pepper that you're buying (or enter a code) - which makes it even slower. A human cashier remembers all those codes and very quickly types in. For a machine to do that right now, it will have to use some advanced image recognition techniques to just find out which of the 100 kinds of Apple it is - and set the price accordingly. Sure, all these problems can be theoretically fixed, but so far, I guess we're just not there.

Why is non-PFS the default? You wrote that somewhere in the documentation.

You said something about violating expectations when you sync PFS'd chat contents, but I don't see why that's relevant unless people were promised otherwise.

There's nothing about the encryption algorithm itself that dictates how data going over it should be handled at the endpoints.

Just let users have a regular mode and an off-the-record mode where nothing is kept. Both PFS protected.
This is pretty big. Heartbleed was exactly this but with the heartbeat extension instead of the session ticket extension, and with OpenSSL instead of F5's TLS implementation.
As I understand it from RFC 5077, when a client sends a session id + session ticket, a conforming server will only ever send back exactly the session id the client sent, or no session id. If the client sends a 31 byte session id, and gets back a 32 byte session id, it knows the server must be sending back some extra data (which may or may not contain any information).

If the first 31 bytes are not the same, then the server is likely generating a new session id, which is a bug but probably not leaking any information.

If the first 31 bytes are the same, then either the server is padding the session id with zeros (which, while buggy, would not be an information leak) or the server is sending back some uncleared memory. These cases could be checked by seeing if the padding is zero (which would have at least a 0.4% false negative rate with just the one byte) but the zgrab test in the article doesn't bother distinguishing them and just assumes any extra data may be an information leak.

EDIT: Re-reading RFC 5077 again, I'm not certain that the server is prohibited from sending back a new session id. If it is allowed to then the second paragraph above doesn't indicate a bug, just a rejection of the session ticket.
No, the author could run the summarise-bot, then use the results to focus the writing towards the salient points.

It really depends on how much effort you want to put in, and your existing skills. I personally use Final Cut Pro. YouTube also has built-in editing features for stitching, cutting, and possibly overlaying videos.

Final Cut Pro is quite high end so I only use 5-10% of the features to make this video: https://vimeo.com/73754523

It took a few hours of storyboarding and editing once I had the footage.
Hm, but how much of those features they don't have access to would actually be used? After a few decades in the trenches, I've come to (mostly, kind of) accept that on average, most companies do not push the leading edge, and settle for relatively baseline feature sets of all of the software they use. As long as a deployment hits those feature points, they don't aggressively push for learning, testing, deploying and using new features.

This is of interest to me because no matter how I slice it, when analyzed from this "baseline feature" perspective, cloud solutions of conventional software that require deploying upon conventional platforms are expensive, and I figure I must be missing the picture. I'm much more excited about cloud solutions like AWS Lambda that de novo solutions are built around, as those do seem to have more promise delivering the much-talked-about 2-10X cost improvements compared to conventional software, but still at a high cost of vendor lock-in due to lack of cloud API standards adoption by vendors.

I totally agree: generalizing something always has a cost. Not every experience with a machine is smooth, not every experience with a human is smooth. Therefore we need both!

There is ads in a default Windows install, since Anniversary update at least. I remember that I had to reinstall my Windows 10 system on Anniversary update since Microsoft Update was simply refusing to update my system (unknown error multiple times), and in my lock screen sometimes I would get an ad about some random UWP app (or it was a movie? Don't remember). I would get app install suggestions inside Start menu too, very annoying.

For now at least, you can disable both in Windows Settings and they don't seem to come back automatically. I don't know in the future though.

P.S.: before OP, this is on Windows 10 Pro.

Calling it a CPU is a simplification, but PICO-8 does emulate limited CPU resources by limiting how much code you can run per frame.

Lua code runs at exactly the same speed inside the PICO-8 executable on a PC and in the HTML5 export on a mobile - in both cases much slower than in a standard Lua interpreter on my PC.

My guess is that PICO-8 is counting and limiting the number of opcodes the Lua VM is allowed to execute per frame, but that's hard to confirm.

It's certain though that everything you can do in code (from variable assignment to graphics operations like rectfill()) has a certain "cycle cost", and you get a limited number of "cycles" per frame - just as if it was a real machine.
