Is an affordable one-bedroom apartment too much to ask? A small one- or two-bedroom house?

The former are close to $1500 just for rents (nowhere near SV) and the latter do not seem to be built very much. Very depressing as a native who wants to purchase a simple house in his hometown.

That's me! Happy to answer any questions.

I wrote this article to address a trend I'm seeing in the Windows Store, where developers aren't treating small format devices (like the beleaguered Windows 10 Mobile platform) properly, and to make the case for doing so even though the user numbers alone don't justify it.
I think the two are tightly intertwined.

We have structures and systems that use your cognitive blind spots to strip you of any wealth you might have been able to accumulate.
I couldn't agree more with this comment - and maybe I have a case of confirmation bias, but it's precisely the way I manage my team. Putting blame on someone doesn't help make problems go away - I've found that it just makes people defensive and makes the problem worse.

By setting a tone with questions like "What happened? How can we fix this problem from happening in future?" the team will end up finding solutions with technology or process.

As a manager, I feel you're job is to try and get your team to problem solve - using their tools and knowledge to come up with solutions.

In the example from the comment above, if someone is showing up high, or doing something really bad, then it's up to the manager to have the discussion about with the employee. Obviously if bad patterns repeat themselves then that's ground for termination.

That's just stupid.

The award is clearly for people who are being disobedient for the benefit of society.

Breaking rules for the sake of breaking rules is just anarchy or trolling. You're just inconveniencing people who set out to recognise real contributions to society.

Only 80%? Seems like they're giving up some of their lead. They... Who am I kidding, we are.

It was present in some early previews but then removed and abandoned: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/02/micro.... It later turned into bash-on-windows since the Linux subsystem part worked much better than the Android layer on top of that.
This needs a Windows build, as Windows users need this the most.

I just turned the light on and kept my eyes open for at least 10 minutes.

Just turning on the light for a moment or looking at the time on your phone is not enough to stimulate the retinal ganglion cells. You have to keep your eyes open for several minutes.

If you consistently do this at a time before you would normally wake up, your clock shifts earlier. You'll wake up earlier even if you don't use an alarm. And you'll get sleepy earlier in the evening too.

Does that provide enough information?
Satire to an extent but also somewhat true.
MIT needs to be shamed publicly, regularly and continuously until they publicly apologize for their shameful behavior.

Giving this award to Swartz, and giving the money to his parents, along with a public statement of remorse and a public commitment to behaving more honorably in the future, would be an excellent way for them to do this.
Thanks! How much have you tested in environments with a lot of background noise? (in car, around kids or construction)

Is it also built for those situations, or mainly focused on accuracy in low ambient noise contexts?
You don't think it's plausible that the universe is deterministic?

It's just as we are eager to label others as insane simply because their goals violently conflict with ours and they would do hurtful things to us.

We're eager to label the behavior of various criminals or politicians as crazy or stupid because we disapprove of it - however, often (though not always) if you take a step back, it's quite consistent with their interest, the evil behavior is reasonable, rational and understandable in context of their situation and goals.

It's not the execution we should worry about, but rather about alignment of goals - as for other people, as for AI.
Grab Nemeth, et al's "UNIX and Linux System Administration Handbook" from your favorite online bookseller and work through each chapter. That'll get you basic fluency with the Unix command line and common administration tasks.

Beyond that, what you need to know really depends on the tech stack of the company you're planning to work for. I'd suggest at least working through the tutorials on how to set up and configure Apache, Tomcat, MySQL and the JRE enough to get a simple web site up and running.

Good luck.
Just because there are things we can't measure from inside this universe doesn't mean that those things aren't deterministic.

So wouldn't it be relatively simple to block AWS/Azure/etc ip blocks AND duplicate accounts from single addresses? Wouldn't that be a large drop in bots right there?

Corollary: I once played a large MMO that intentionally inflated user numbers right before they were acquired via content updates that encouraged the creation of multiple bots per actual player. I'm sure at some level executives are aware that bots are good for business and allow them to persist.
Timing the market doesn't mean pin point, cracker jack timing. Just not bay of pigs timing. I pulled 25% my 401k out in 2008 into bonds and a money market. Saved a good 15%. Then re-invested towards the bottom. Not perfect bottom to get back in. Not perfect top to get out. But 15%.
And beyond that– to potentially many live people that the recipient is able to positively impact.
Diving into the article one sees that these ratios are largely unchanged since the 1980s.
My point is that buy and hold is actually a more sophisticated investment strategy than one might think. For one thing, knowing enough about investment vehicles to pick the right buy and hold is straightforward only if you know what you're doing. And secondly, uneducated investors are usually convinced their clever strategy they made up on the spot will beat the market - they just refuse to believe in buy & hold. And thirdly, cognitive biases that destroy investment returns are fairly well documented in the book "Thinking Fast and Slow".

The article completely supports my point, in showing how awfully the average investor does compared with the buy and hold investor.
I really think you overestimate the rate at which Fortune-500 companies transition their core infrastructure to the cloud.

"C-suites" at F500 companies are not as stupid as they look, they just have limited technical resources to execute but plenty of $$$ to give to companies that can provide high-touch services.

Sorry, I forgot to mention relationships in my other comment!

When it comes to making your own work hours or keeping an unconventional sleep schedule, a lot of people don't have well-formed thoughts or reactions to this (it's pretty uncommon).

In my experience, as a first reaction it is characterized as an extreme version of "staying up late and sleeping through the alarm." Obviously there's a lot of stigma there. Some people will be able to get past this, and some people won't.

I'm perfectly okay keeping this rotating schedule with a partner on a regular schedule, but I can absolutely see how somebody would not be happy with this.

One interesting thing is that my sleep cycle is as fundamental to me as day/night is to folks on a regular schedule. I would say understanding this and being empathetic is essential, and it's probably best if your partner is not just understanding but also appreciative.

My close friends and family range from understanding to appreciative, and I've not had any issues staying in touch or staying friends with these people. They're also willing to compromise and work with me to accommodate my schedule because they understand that it's a very regular and deliberate part of my life.

I had a partner that was very disapproving of me staying up past their sleep time and sleeping through their free hours on occasion, and there was no chance of it working out.

The problem arises when you don't have any money to save. Also there is often a barrier to getting an account for an IRA. Scottrade is $500. That's a lot of money for a welfare recipient. Also at least in the US, we test total assets for access to social programs (http://www.heritage.org/welfare/commentary/passing-the-asset...). If you have too much money, the state expects you to deplete those retirement funds, with the various fees and taxes, before you're eligible. If all of your savings is in the IRA, well, I guess starve or steal?

VTA serves Santa Clara County and the station is in Alameda County; and the next BART station will connect with VTA's light rail and be next to a large transportation center.
Then again take a step back and look at what's being achieved. You are delivering, nearly instantly, a sophisticated and responsive fat client application to the user without any installation process. This fat client is running in a nearly universal and quite safe sandbox that is provided by several vendors across different os's, form factors, and architectures. With a good amount of backwards compatibility. Backed by a backend that's almost infinitely scalable. And developers are constantly feeding new features into this system without bringing it down or interrupting anything.

From that perspective, you would expect the tooling and stack to be complex. We really are doing way way more than we were in the "old days." "Write once run everywhere" has arrived and we're doing it, it's just not as simple as it sounds.

> nobody is going to get rich off that advice

I know lower middle class people that have, if by rich meaning their stocks are well into 7 figures. Few, however, have the patience to stay the course for decades, and fortitude to gut out the various crashes.

I've been a loud critic for a long time here in Michigan that we were letting the technology part of the car business migrate to California without much of a fight.

But all of a sudden the Big 3 woke up to the fact that Silicon Valley would control the high margin part of cars and they would be left with the high expense low margin job of actually manufacturing them.

So Michigan government responded, just like they did when they banned the sales of Tesla's in the state without debate at 3 am. I'm very interested in seeing how Michigan responds.
See the book "The Millionaire Next Door" about how ordinary people with ordinary incomes get rich. It is not about being smart or lucky.
MIT is only okay with "disruption" and "disobedience" in the late stage capitalism meanings of those words.

They merely put up with the 70s hacker culture until it interfered with their ability to function as an obedient conduit for defense industry contracts.
I haven't done much high noise testing, but I am aware that it has better accuracy with low background noise.

I'm not sure why you would say that Pony doesn't target distributed systems. In the sense that there is no "distributed pony" yet, then yes.

I spend my days writing a soon to be open sourced distributed system in Pony. The "alternative" to threads/mutexes/channels is actors which from a concurrency model perspective makes it very like Erlang. The GC model is also very like Erlang.

In the end, it is its own thing.
Heroin dealers are pretty smart. Even if you have a ton of money, they'll only sell you a bit at a time. They don't want you doing something stupid and messing up their gravy train. At least, that's what I was told by someone who was a former heroin user (I asked him for advice and guidance in this situation).

She's wasting her life away, but also endangering others' (as well as her dog's). Her dog was taken away most recently because she was out on a weeklong bender and left the dog locked inside the house. After a few days of wailing and notices, animal control finally went in and rescued the dog. This being San Francisco, of course she got the dog back after claiming she went on vacation and just forgot about the dog.

That said, there was feces and urine piled up in the apartment for that week, and a few weeks after. She also had a stopped up toilet that backed up raw sewage into her apartment for "several weeks" according to the health dept. She was literally walking around on waste soaked carpets for weeks...and didn't care. Because heroin don't care.

She would also freak out and randomly dial 911 while high and insist that there were people in her apartment that were trying to kill her.

I, mean, I could go on for days writing up the crazy stuff she does while high. Her family wants nothing to do with her. She owns her place, has a pile of money, doesn't pay any real estate taxes, is a "frequent flier" for the police and fire department, but all of this is just A-OK, right San Francisco?

Honestly, I could care less about her life at this point. I'm just worried about the dog. It never gets walked and lives in literal squalor.

>Scala/Akka would be another choice but it has totally different semantics from Erlang, and you can never forget you are working in an async model

The actor model is asynchronous by definition. Did you maybe intend to say something else? What makes Erlang different is that the BEAM VM is made for the actor model, so it has per-actor GC and other things that are basically impossible in other languages that don't use BEAM.

"Feedback from our customers that they want broader and timelier support".

Absent volume, you and I don't get to be direct customers of Intel. I wonder who they meant. My first guess was Sony or Nintendo, since both have recent consoles with FreeBSD-derived OS, but fact checking indicated that neither have an Intel CPU.

Maybe at the behest of Apple, or the router/NAS/appliance manufacturers, many of whom run a FreeBSD-derived OS. Or perhaps it was simply effective lobbying by the FreeBSD project / foundation.

This is all speculation so if anyone knows who really prompted this I'd be interested to hear it.

I didn't forget. I just didn't feel like enumerating what I think are obvious and commonly accepted facts :).

It really comes down to thought->muscle memory of keyboard shortcuts, especially those which don't require moving hands away from the home keys, vs the activity of reaching over, taking the mouse, driving it to a certain location on the screen, and then clicking. It should be obvious which will be faster.

It is indeed counterintuitive.

For example, I voted in favor of marijuana legalization in Washington State. It's now legal. I didn't smoke weed before legalization, nor after. I simply have no desire for it. I don't know anyone who took up weed because it is now legal.
ASBO laws are retarded. That's why the UK has phased them out.
LLVM was originally designed for C like languages, until recently used the system linker (lld is a recent change), so any language that uses it for its backend tends to suffer from the same lengthy compilations as C and C++.

Unless they create their own intermediate language, so that they can do as much work as possible, before passing the bucket to LLVM.

Hence why Swift has SIL, Rust MIR, and so forth for other languages.

I would truly love a new "web" which is effectively style-free. I think the existing one is fine to continue for the general public, online shopping, social networks, etc.. but a parallel information-dense system that uses ultra light weight browsers that work on every device and platform, accessing machine-readable data with some standard stylesheet that concentrates in readability, and the "good" bits of the modern web, without the fluff.

It would be great for technical blogs and news, project sites, wiki type data stores, discussion forums, etc.

Maybe everything in this "new" web is static, no stylesheets except browser-side for users to customise themselves.

I'm not sure what the actual answer is but I know the existing web is broken beyond repair.

How about charging them for their public costs? If you get rescued by helicopter because you went skiing out of bounds at a resort and got lost, don't they send you a bill? How about that for people with money who abuse the system while abusing other things?
If MIT were a person, sure. But it is a large organization with members holding multiple competing views. If one group is trying to do something good, do not shame them for another groups deeds, use them.

My guess was Netflix, and then someone reminded me of Nintendo now that the switch is out. So those would be my two guesses as to who is leaning on them. Perhaps iXsystems as well.
> My first guess was Sony or Nintendo, since both have recent consoles with FreeBSD-derived OS, but I don't think either have an Intel CPU.

It's a fair bet they were considered as design candidates. Perhaps their community engagement was a factor in them losing the designs. (Though IMO that seems like it would be weighted much lower than other factors).

While I'm glad Amazon pushed back, it did set some precedents and isn't exactly a victory.

They eventually handed over the data (at the owner's consent), which does two things: 1) confirms they do have data and the ability to turn it over 2) makes anyone who doesn't hand over the data seems guilty (hey, if you have nothing to hide...)

I often go to work at a lab that is as close to the Warm Springs BART station as any business could be, but I will still drive because walkability is so bad it will still be a 15 minute walk. Maybe someday they will build something near these East Bay BART stations.
