I was honestly surprised how well PHP7 fared against HHVM. No JIT, and likely a much smaller team and budget. Most of the comparisons I've seen show them as roughly the same performance.
They're losing buckets of money and Twitter should be a great example of having trouble selling ads to social media users. Snapchat is the hot new thing so they're getting ad dollars in experiments from major brands, but it remains to be seen if it's a worthwhile investment for them.

If Snap can only offer brand image/awareness type advertising they are not worth what they think they are.
It does!

Well, not those statements specifically, it describes that type of statement and Trump's rationale for using them.

Here's a quote -

"The final key to the way I promote is bravado. I play to people’s fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. That’s why a little hyperbole never hurts. People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular.

I call it truthful hyperbole. It’s an innocent form of exaggeration — and a very effective form of promotion."

So, it's a promotion tactic to get people thinking positive and thinking big, but also, the vagueness means that each person can attribute it to whatever is important to them, which leads to much stronger engagement and emotional connection.
I think what you and I are experiencing is the core trend of software development away from purely technical challenges toward domain-specific adaptation of existing technology. Not that there aren't cutting edge coders building innovative tech. There's just a massive amount of non-innovative tech work which is now easily achievable because the infrastructure and labor pool are up to the challenge at affordable prices. Building a website or an app isn't usually a technical feat anymore, but rather a routine activity. It's like construction, just nailing beams to other beams, with everything standardized.

The bulk of the work ends up being collecting and refining requirements to ensure that the tech serves the business needs. You don't need brilliant coders to achieve that. You need people who are moderately competent in understanding the tech and are extremely fluent in understanding the business challenge. That's why domain-driven development is kind of hot right now. It drives people from the tech end toward attaining fluency in the domain and people from the domain toward attaining fluency in the tech. You came from the opposite end as me, but we're driving toward the same middle, which is someplace where people understand how to take a set of business needs and translate them into functional code. It's nothing new, really, it's just spreading to encompass a much larger percentage of the workforce than ever before because tech is becoming so pervasive.

The dictionary I just consulted lists your definition as "archaic". "Reasonable" means (to a reasonable observer) a lot more than the ability to think logically:

- having sound judgement; fair and sensible: no reasonable person could have objected.

- based on good sense: it seems a reasonable enough request | the guilt of a person on trial must be proved beyond reasonable doubt.

- archaic: able to reason logically: man is by nature reasonable.

2: as much as is appropriate or fair; moderate: a police officer may use reasonable force to gain entry.

Thesaurus: sensible, rational, open to reason, full of common sense, logical, fair, fair-minded, just, equitable, decent; intelligent, wise, level-headed, practical, realistic; based on good sense, sound, judicious, well thought out, well grounded, reasoned, well reasoned, valid, commonsensical, advisable, well advised; tenable, plausible, feasible, credible, acceptable, admissible, believable

Ask HN: What are some really strong reasons for using a version control system?
I recently started working for a manufacturing company with a very small team of developers.

The team does not user version control and it's appalling to me. They either maintain the versions in their local machine or on a server.

I have been talking to my manager and trying to convince him to start using one.

What are some really strong reasons can I give him so that he realizes that we can't do without a version control.

First of all, this kind of thing happening on any scale is something to worry about.

Second, considering that we know there are instances of it, we're faced with a question. Which is more likely?

1. The officer(s) in question suddenly and for no discernible reason completely snapped and committed actions they knew were immoral and illegal and which they had been trained and conditioned by the culture of their department never to do under any circumstances, or

2. The officer(s) in question were trained and worked their entire careers in a culture in which abuse of authority was routine, accepted and unquestioned, to such a degree that they felt it was the natural course of things and that no significant consequences would fall on them.

Time and again, investigation of corrupt and abusive police departments has turned up evidence for case (2) and not for case (1). We should be assuming case (2) unless and until we see significant evidence otherwise.
Because the system is broken and should be reformed until there's no need to jump the queue. That's the symptom, not the problem.
Ha, you think you're tricky, but your not! You didn't define the units. 120 what? Seconds? Nice try though.
I played with this for a while and never got the impression that it was random notes. A few times it played something quite musical which I found interesting and cool. There seems to be a lot of haters in here for what I can only imagine is some sort of sour grapes jealousy or some shit.. maybe it's the production quality of this video is out of proportion for the effort put into the experiment, I dunno but the experiment itself is cool.
If you've got a legitimate refugee claim have at it.
You may be right, what specific meaning is that? I mean that there are many possible outcomes of something like a traffic stop and shoving a camera in the officer's face is probably not the best way to get a warning.
All it takes is for users to download the app and convince all their friends too. That's the tricky part, and definitely the incumbent advantage.

I'm not sure x hours is enough of a pain point (if it is at all) to get people to move.
Check the dictionary: "Reasonable" has much broader meaning overlapping concepts such as "fair", "decent", "predictable".

It may also become more obvious from this other use of the word: "You may use reasonable force to defend your property". A "rational" force doesn't make much sense.
Twitter is not the best example, as their struggles are well-known.
You're right, but I think it's worth pointing out why the “wrong person” matters to people: they are concerned this person will fully weaponise the surveillance state.

Of course, the mere ability of the executive to do that in the first place should have been concern enough, but as you say, all too many people willingly look past this when it comes from their own team.

Every group will have bad apples, it's statistically inevitable. What matters is how bad apples are dealt with. Because if they are not dealt with properly, 'the bad apple spoils the bunch'.

In police / court land, bad apple pruning isn't good enough. On top of that the stakes are high and their are legal malincentives that encourage the government to do the wrong things. It's harder to do bad apple pruning with police because of the risk category and their job responsibilities.

Nitpick: He was Qin Shi Huang (秦始皇), which literally means "First Emperor of Qin". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qin_Shi_Huang
> While conventional linkers work at the compilation-unit level (one source file, usually), placing that whole source file's functions adjacently in memory [1], an atom-based linker is able to take the smallest linkable units (individual functions, each static/global variable...), and arrange those optimally.

This isn't quite right. It's just that traditionally (i.e. when not using -ffunction-sections/-fdata-sections) when compilers output an ELF relocatable object, they group all the functions into a single "smallest linkable unit" (a single .text section) and so the linker can't actually do any reordering because the information that the functions are distinct has been lost.

I describe this in more detail here: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-December/10814...
This was actually one of the key technical issues that prevented the Atom design from being used for ELF and COFF.

"""
the ELF and COFF
notion of "section" is a strict superset of its [the Atom LLD's] core "atom" abstraction (an
indivisible chunk of data with a 1:1 correspondence with a symbol name).
Therefore the entire design was impossible to use for those formats. In ELF
and COFF, a section is decoupled from symbols, and there can be arbitrarily
many symbols pointing to arbitrary parts of a section (whereas in MachO,
"section" means something different; the analogous concept to an ELF/COFF
section is basically "the thing that you get when you split a MachO section
on symbol boundaries, assuming that the compiler/assembler hasn't relaxed
relocations across those boundaries" which is not as powerful as ELF/COFF's
notion). This resulted in severe contortions that ultimately made it
untenable to keep working in that codebase.

Sorry, I was wrong to characterize the atom being a core part of the MachO object format while it is only a core part of how ld64 works. The compiler is following some convention though that ld64 takes advantages of. Other than ld64 source code (available on opensource.apple.com) I can only point to some design document in the source repo: https://opensource.apple.com/source/ld64/ld64-253.6/doc/desi...

Backups. Reverting to old versions, such as when you observe an issue with the new version. Keeping a log of changes.

However, note that some physical manufacturing processes involve inscrutable binary files such as CAD files; you should still keep those in version control, but in the absence of specific support, you'll get slightly less value out of it (since you don't have diffs).

I have seen, however, a CAD diff view, which lets you move a slider to switch between old and new.

>And "code is law" is not really extendable across society. We have contracts, of course. But almost all contracts include a "Use common sense"-style clause, which is the whole point lawyers and judges exist in the first place.

I would characterize the development of law and contracts as something meant to protect parties from common sense. If all we needed was common sense, every contract would just say (a la Raikoth)

>In all situations, the parties will take the normatively correct action.

...and nothing else. Law is essentially shaping common sense into something predictable and useful. So, why wouldn't it be possible to take something deterministic, and shape that into something predictable and useful? It doesn't need to be perfect - it just needs to be better than what already exists.

Not saying TSLA has no risk: for one thing, they still have not figured out how to scale up production. But in general, I think we tend to overestimate the incumbents' advantage. Most incumbents have too many old interests that hold them back. There is an article [1] about German automakers' unwillingness to commit to EVs because the profit from ICEs are way way higher than that from electric ones because of ICE's complexity.

(Similarly, this is the reason why most of the wind farms in China are not connected to the national grid, because the existing power plants do not want to shut down and lay off workers.)

I don't think self-driving in and of itself will decrease ownership, but the combination of self-driving, flexible car sharing services, and ubiquitous ride sharing services will continue to make car ownership undesirable.

A car in a driveway or parking spot has horrible utilization rates. Ownership of things like cars has never actually made sense, given that they depreciate in value as soon as you drive it off the lot.

Meanwhile, more and more OEMs are moving into the car sharing space, and I think that will scratch the itch of wanting to drive a car for fun, or utility (need to pick up something large or be some where at a specific time).

While circuits disagree, their rulings still hold weight outside of their district or circuit. A case comes to them because it is federal in nature or because there was a reason to remove the case from a state court. By the very nature of a federal court their cases have national weight, and they are not usually supposed to rule on matters of state or local law unless the issue at hand is a law which violates federal protections.

One of the important points in almost every part of this particular ruling is that the court denied or upheld claims almost entirely based on whether there was a reasonable belief that the officers should have known they were violating the law and/or his rights, and in most cases they chose to protect the officers even when making broad statements about the right to film officers. The dissenting opinion is also important (as it sometimes is in Supreme Court rulings as well) in showing that there are other ways the law can be interpreted, and even within this particular district (or on appeal to a higher court) you may not have the same result just because you think you're in the same situation.
Always be filming, and streaming to server is a good idea.

I was detained about a year ago for walking at 12 a.m. with books--yes--I was shocked. It turned out to be a very young rookie, but a gun carring police officer.

He caught me completely off guard. I literally thought he was bored of the night shift. Then I noticed his gun holster was un-snapped, we were in fog, and he was an idiot.

I thought about bringing out my phone, but honestly, didn't want to provoke his guy. It just wasen't worth it.

I did get his name when I left.

I was thinking about an app that turns on the video of a phone whenever "Officer" is heard.

(To those that dare to video, or complain about police business, make sure you go down to the station with a witness. Get a report, or just a business card of the officer you have a disagreement with. Tell them, "I need some kind of proof I made a complaint. I don't want any harrasement." You don't need to file a formal complaint. Build a paper trail. This only might be good advice for certain counties though.)
Please do not put words in my mouth. I did not claim that all (or even any) police are evil or inhuman.

I do not think "How will this look in the paper?" calculates into whether or not an officer issues me a ticket for speeding or lets me go with a warning or attempts to search my car. I don't think it is considered at any point by individual officers, including during the use of force.

I think the decision is based more on behavior such as if I am evasive or cooperative. I am far more likely to get a warning if I am polite rather than argumentative.
"the formation of the Julia Computing group has made Julia's development a bit of a walled garden".

I'm not sure what you mean. As far as I can see, Julia Computing is not rich enough to take over development of the language, even if that is what they wanted to do. It's just a way for those guys to get paid for their full-time commitment to Julia, and a fairly standard one, as far as I can see. Language developers that aren't funded by a large existing company tend to do consultancy to pay the bills.
Add some PWM for grayscale effects.
Catchy, but no. Mule ESB is more like a framework for declaratively creating (and executing these) flows that run through a series of components that react to events, in a sort of universal design pattern; these flows then execute in in a runtime that uses SEDA [1]. They give you some built-in components that help in creating APIs, and this design is a good fit for APIs and data munging, but it can be used as "just" a runtime for event-driven code. For a clearer example, see my other post here [2]. Their other products include an API proxy and a client-facing API gateway.
