Indeed.

But assuming we each perfectly knew how to set our attainable goals - full awareness of human ability to succeed beyond imagined limitations, counted - what a CV like this tells me, is that the benefits to oneself, but also the world at large, really only begin to accrue when it seems to my experience (my bro becoming prof, unusually late in career, but for good reasons in pursuit his own interests, before) should absolutelynot be considered a ultimate, terminus, goal.

What I say, could be said as "rest not on your laurels", but it is i think more profound than that. At l;east I think so: because one's value to others can massively multiply, if you seek beyond what you may first think you are working towards.

And, if your goal is for instance to be appointed a Stanford Professor, does your perspective on career, pace of work, the work you pursue in fact along your way to that goal, all of that actually change so much, when you look beyond that, and see the utility you should instead aim to be, afterwards?

When my dad taught me Squash (he was a well known, widely published, coach) he first taught me to swing through the stroke, much as golfers know how also. Not only is there a huge uptick in stroke confidence, when you connect cleanly in this way, and power, too, but he was teaching me to calculate the angle of incidence, through my body, and that gave me instantly greater understanding of the shot. Of the future arising from my objective. Sure i was very young, this was a first lesson almost, so it is hardly great insight into Squash technique. But is it not, applied, not great insight into technique in playing Life?

The reason why researchers write for a niche audience is because they are maximizing publication count. We're essentially targeting the papers for their reviewers.

Hm, if the task is to identify a set of fixed headers at a variety of file offsets, what you really want is a rolling hash (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_hash). Select a rolling hash of size N, no bigger than the smallest fixed header. At each step, update the rolling hash with the next byte seen. If it matches one of the known header hashes, branch to code to check if it actually is. Otherwise, continue to the next byte. As long as the rolling hash function isn't too low quality, and you can check if a hatch matches a known header, you can find all the headers in the block in O(F) time for an F-byte file, rather than O(F*P) time for an F-byte file and P patterns. That is, on average you inspect every byte of the file way fewer times with a rolling hash.

Without being super familiar with the tech that any of these companies are running —

The biggest thing that sets Calibre apart is that its entirely built using the Chrome developer tools APIs. I like to think about it as someone on your team who opened devtools after every deploy, and kept a neat spreadsheet of all the changes that had occurred. In short, all the data is ready and available for the taking.

This also has the added benefit that I have the power of the Chrome browser to play with. Projects like Google's Lighthouse (https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse/ — Which I'm currently integrating into Calibre!) have meant that a lot more powerful tools/metrics/resources/etc are coming along strongly, and this will only help make Calibre more powerful too.

Calibre is firmly focused on what your users actually experience, and helping you get to the bottom of 'why' quickly and efficiently. So while technically focused tools are imperative for any team, many of them aren't focused on the most important people in the equation.

Also, thanks — Good question.

Hi everyone, this is Can from the OneDrive team.

We know that some users may have experienced difficulty accessing OneDrive for Business on Linux. The issue was resolved as of Tuesday, March 22nd 3pm PST.

We identified that StaticLoad.aspx, a page that prefetches resources in the background for Office O nline apps was using the link prefetching browser mechanism only for certain platforms (iOS, Chrome OS, Mac, Windows), but for Linux it was falling back to a less efficient technique that was causing the issue. Rest assured that this was not intentional. It was an oversight.

The prefetching optimization was disabled, and it will be enabled again soon after an update for StaticLoad.aspx has been tested and released on Linux.

We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused.
Find a partner that can do the front end work. That way you can work together to get to a minimal first version quickly. The longer it takes to get from starting to an actual first version you can sell, the more likely you will run out of steam and give up. Then work together to come up with a simple idea that can be coded within just a few months of spare time.

No one can tell you what to build because if we knew of a simple but great idea then we would do it ourselves!

I see how that's supposed to work, but I don't think that's how it happens in practice, and hence doesn't explain much about the motivation behind actually bothering to deploy DRM. Proto-DRM (copy protection, lockout chips, dongles) was in play decades before anticircumvention laws, and as far as I've seen those laws have little practical value in stopping circumvention anyway. They seem to be primarily used for extra charges against vendors of "fully loaded" hardware (e.g. consoles and media players preloaded with illegally copied content). When governments are leveraged to go after pure circumvention tools, the Streisand effect usually kicks in and ensures that the necessary code and keys are spread far and wide. The main place where DRM actually has teeth is in applications where connectivity and an account are required, such as streaming media services (i.e. the primary application of EME) and online gaming. In that case, the vendor can frequently update anticircumvention measures in the client and deactivate accounts (or, in the case of vendor-managed platforms like game consoles, ban the actual device) that fail enough checks.

What if that was the focus of the system? Make it super easy to publish and find Information. Webpages are honestly kind of hard to work with, and the tendency is to make them way too flashy. Remake the incentives of the system based on what was learned from the first version, and something really cool, and super useful, might be the result. I imagine that a terminal-interface focus might be instrumental.

It can also be patronizing to say that non-western and non-eastern people have no agency, that only westerners and easterners have universality.

As if Mayans could not commit ecological mistakes or clearcut land for more farming. I'm not saying that All rainforests people clearcut or had disregard for nature, but it's rather odd to think that while human they could not commit the same kind of "savagery" westerners or easterners can commit.

As some fist peoples are humorously fond of exaggerating, we burned more land, killed more animals than any european ever did, that to make a point that they too can do bad things, that they too are human just like everyone else and can do have agency.

At the time that Firefox started really turning heads, it took an order of magnitude less money to build a better browser. JIT innovations that were once just good research ideas from the Smalltalk world had an open source implementation in Java which then got ported to open source dynamic languages like Python (see polymorphic inline caching & similar techniques). Then Adobe came along and donated a bunch of it's JIT code form ActionScript to Mozilla as well. To top that off, Microsoft was visibly asleep at the wheel with respect to Internet Explorer.

All of this allowed Mozilla to both build a better browser and show the community a way forward with rich experiences that leveraged Javascript instead of ActiveX based solutions.

With Google pouring resources into Chrome and Microsoft actually paying attention to Edge, competition is much harder. Mozilla is spending large sums of money on Firefox and delivering an experience that is just okay compared to the other players.

I never said they weren't, but their implementations have varied greatly. On the one hand you had "clearly not native" clumsy UIs and features that were very out of place and didn't support common keybindings or were very obviously the wrong type of "widgets" for the platform (I'm really glad I no longer see really shitty java file selectors that are in some crazy ass format and don't support any keybindings or even typing the path out manually)

on the other hand you had "works on windows 7 only", or "we created our own language to do this, so learn that before you contribute"

Like them or not, browsers have nailed a lot of those things, and for good reason (after all, that's all they do). They made them work well, work consistently, work cross platform, work with a great UX, and work pretty damn fast.

>That's a particular cancer that needs to die

Well this comment took a turn! Call it vain, call it stupid, call it whatever, but a good looking UI is a big point for my editor. I stare at this thing for many hours a day, I want it to look good, have a good (preferably customizable) set of colors both in the editor and in it's syntax, and I want to be able to fully customize every single part of it (I like to have my "file tree" take up the bottom half of a sidebar and the "minimap" take up the top half. I'm not going to be able to do that in sublime, in atom it's 10 lines of CSS in a config file that gets synced to all my computers I run it on).

You can say it's the "OS's job" but the OS doesn't allow that kind of customizability either. It's one of the main reasons why I and many others use an editor like Atom.

You don't need to use it or even like it, but it's not like they are doing something "wrong", it's just not for your use case. There are many people out there very happy with the workflows that atom works great with, just like how there are many others that are happy with a workflow in vim. The 2 can coexist and have different goals, features, workflows, and users without any issues. And calling a feature that you don't like a "cancer that needs to die" is silly at best. I'm sure there are many out there that see reimplementing another text renderer a pointless exercise, but that doesn't mean it's wrong in all cases.
