Because one GBP is worth so little now it's not economic to manufacture notes which don't last long. Other coins have also become smaller and lighter as they try to keep the issuance cost below the cost of the metal.

However the technology is not ready yet. Takes too long to render* and needs too much VRAM (=> limited resolution, varying on the current GPU).

But a consumer-grade plugin with an online renderer might be feasible for now.

Yes, but with iPhone app.
This seems like a no-brainer for a re-implementation in rust, but I wouldn't expect that someone would rewrite curl itself in rust, but a new library that does the same things.
Well, Netflix is one of the most data driven companies we know of. Maybe they see something that we don't? Also, some stories inherently require significant amount of money to produce and there is nothing that you can do about it. Sure you can avoid spending money on such shows, but the last thing you want is to be known for your low quality shows.
Well put.

Didn't know that curl was stuck back on C89, that's really optimizing for portability.

If anyone is confused by the "curl sits in the boat" section header, that's basically a Swedish idiom being translated straight to English. That rarely works, of course, and I'm sure Daniel knows this. :)

The closest English analog would be "curl doesn't rock the boat", I think the two expressions are equivalent (if you sit, you don't rock the boat).

At least in the states, HBO Go was always bundled with a cable subscription. HBO Now is the standalone streaming product, although standalone is a bit of a stretch because it's frustratingly tied to some other platform's billing system.
Struggle and fight abstractions?

Some abstractions cause more trouble than they solve, and then create solutions to their own problems on top. That's the point.

Older techie might have seen more abstractions, and choose more wisely the lesser complicated one for the job.

I am surprised that you would have to post it here. Don't they already provide some way to contact them? Given the small number of movies and shows that get produced, I expect that they would have responded to everyone.

Yeah, I was surprised not to see his case mentioned until I learned from the article itself how common it is.
Unfortunately, I don't have the email I received anymore and can't remember what exactly the content of the account deactivation email was. Most probably the same as yours though.

I have the feeling that checking if the account still exists by trying to logon is:
1. not a good check
2. maybe conra-productive because they now maybe assume you are interested in getting back your account.
The again, those girls would not get the advertised benefit of being talked to hundreds or thousands of guys and have built strong mental models of people. At best, they could have create mental model of a minority of guys - all of them extroverted and easy to talk to strangers. But practically speaking, majority of girls are not talking to hundreds of guys. You get to talk to some guys in your class, in extracurricular activities and maybe neighborhood.

Adding to it, introverted and shy girls exist too and those often end up not talking to hundreds of guys even when those attempt to approach them. These girls will likely hide themselves in a room when such thing may happen.
It also implies some sort of pay to win - with more compute you can presumably do search algorithms that act smarter.
Why don’t programming languages do this?

I worked on a contribution to clang-analyser a few months ago - one of the things I learned was (1) No-one likes code analysers that raise false alarms and (2) it's really difficult not to raise false alarms. For example, consider checking this program for divide-by-zero bugs:

for (int i=-99999 ; i<99999 ; i+=2) {
printf("%d\n", 100/i);
}
for (int i=-100000 ; i<100000 ; i+=2) {
printf("%d\n", 100/i);
}

A programmer can clearly see that in the first loop there is no divide-by-zero as i will jump directly from -1 to +1 - whereas in the second loop the counter will hit 0 and trigger a divide-by-zero.

But for a static analyser, your options are:

1. Model i as a single value, and simulate all ~400,000 passes through the loops. Slow - you basically have to run the program at compile time.

2. Same but truncate the simulation after, say, 20 loops on the assumption that most bugs would have been found on the first few passes. This misses the bug in the second loop.

3. Model i as "Integer in the range -99,999 to +99,999" and generate a false alarm on the first loop.

4. Support arbitrarily complex symbolic values. Difficult - as the value of a variable might depend on complicated business logic.

I guess the benefit of starting a new programming language is you can choose option 3 and say "Working code is illegal, deal with it" from the start.

You think that's crazy? They paid Dave Chappelle $60 million for _3 standup specials_.
While this doesn't so much apply to libcurl (but see below), there is a third alternative to "write everything in C" or "write everything in <some other safer language>". That is: use a safer language to generate C code.

End users, even those compiling from source, will still only need a C compiler. Only developers need to install the safer language (even Curl developers must install valgrind to run the full tests).

Where can you use generated code?

- For non-C language bindings (this could apply to the Curl project, but libcurl is a bit unusual in that it doesn't include other bindings, they are supplied by third parties).

- To describe the API and generate header files, function prototypes, and wrappers.

- To enforce type checking on API parameters (eg. all the CURL_EASY_... options could be described in the generator and then that can be turned into some kind of type checking code).

- Any other time you want a single source of truth in your codebase.

We use a generator (written in OCaml, generating mostly C) successfully in two projects: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/tree/master/generat... https://github.com/libguestfs/hivex/tree/master/generator

Well, here is my take on this topic, as a non-blogger(iow, consumer of sorts). Please excuse this not-that-well-written rant in advance.

What do people - in my opinion - search for:

#1 Help & advice on a specific topic (like, how to disassemble a vw golf 1.3 '87 petrol engine)

#2 Specific information (list of vw engines)

#9 Opinions (compatible with their views / controversial, ideally from people they like or hate, but most importantly, already know >> my-favorite-auto-blog : why vw golf I was the best golf ever manufactured || that-fiat-loving-morron : why vw golf I should be banned from the streets)

When you start your blog, you are that random person. I red many great, well researched, well written articles but honestly, I have no idea where I found them nor by whom they were written. Two reasons why:

a) Subscribing to someone I don't know is a risk I'm unwilling to take. I hate spam as much as averyone else. I don't know what you'll do with my email address. I don't want to get notifications about your new cat. I don't want to participate in any of your surveys and I don't want to help you make your blog better. Sorry, a day has only 24h, every minute wasted is a minute of your life you _won't_ get back.

b) I have no easy way to find out if your blog is any good in the first place.

The problem with blogs as a format(incl. video blogs) is that you effectively surrended all the contextual synapses your information is generating - to a search engine. Context has sometimes more value than the actual information. If I red your well-written article about linux kernel hardening, I _do_ want to know your opinion about different security subsystems for example. But what does your blog provide to make this task easier - a calendar? That primitive, useless junk called a "tag cloud"? A href link to an "older" post? Most of you don't even include a list of the most popular or recent articles. You want us - consumers - in this day an age, to actually click through some calendars on your blog an spend - no, waste - our valuable time to search for contextualy related topics? Who else is better at deciding about the context of your information than you - the bloke who is writing it? Can't you be a little more creative and write a system that would actually present all the information you have published since 1985 in a natural, contextual way?

People produce valuable content daily, but they somehow forgot to care about the context. If your blog is unable to set your article into a braoder body of knowledge and relies solely on a search engine/social media, well, then you get what you ordered. Good luck paying for all kinds of trickery to get your page visits.

I'm not sure what you think you did differently to OP.
I have just posted a long post that probably will be located near the bottom because is lengthy. So here is a short one with my 2 cents:
1) I like to read quality post, I think quality is the main source to sustain a post.
2) Don't shallow your post if you want to have an open road for future success.
3) Your post is a drop in an ocean of knowledge in which content is interrelated. Perhaps you can be successful posting in a niche but I think that niche won't last.
4) I think that in the future quality post will get more recognition.

Not sure we are reading the same text. It merely says Thoreau is paraphrased in different context that he had originally in mind. The context is incongruous, and following paragraphs actually agree with you.
I guess that maybe the point of the game.
Populism is the failure of compulsory education and the beginnings of the fall of the 20th century western nation-state. The system favours the more-popular over the objectively-superior, and the biased, ancient mass schooling makes that the rule instead of the exception. We'll have to abolish nations and any sort of tribalism---how sophisticated might it be---or it'll decay by itself hurting everybody until it disappears.
I don't like talking to my devices, specially because most of the time I'm around other people and I don't want to share what I'm doing with them.
1) Swiftype (or any of Algolia's integrations - WordPress, ZenDesk, Shopify, Magento, ...) - here you talk about Algolia's developer focus, but the rest of your arguments are about the consumer experience. All search engines are built by developers/engineers, and Algolia delivers end-user experience on Twitch, Periscope, Medium, and even HackerNews (hn.algolia.com), which are exactly what you're looking for. You can actually use Algolia to create all the search engine experience ideas you have, and it takes less time (which you don't have)

Yeah, not a fan of comments either as they usually (on blogs at least) tend to be of very low quality (or spam entirely). It's not about feedback at all, it's that someone, somewhere, for who knows what reason, actually reads the stuff. I use self-hosted Piwik for analytics. It's pretty cool.
Maybe they should open this up as a AI programming platform and sell any algorithms that come out of it.
As far as I know, there isn't an open channel to pitch projects to Netflix. This is because 1) they would get overwhelmed by pitches for projects and 2) because most studios don't accept unsolicited pitches for legal reasons (so that someone who sent them a pitch doesn't later sue Netflix for producing a similar project.

So I think you still have to go the more traditional route of knowing someone within the Netflix development department that you can pitch your project to. Or your agent/manager/producer will need to have that connection to get you in the door. I've been stuck in indie film limbo trying to finish this film because it has a lot of complicated visual effects (which are close to being finished) so I currently don't have a manager or agent who can help to get me in the door at Netflix.
Well, the sane way to distribute content when the only thing that has non-negligible costs is production, not distribution, [1] is to have some kind of infrastructure provider that provides distribution and billing and finances production. However having a monopoly has ugly economic effects and having a single entity that dictates media production has ugly social effects.

I guess both Amazon and Netflix try to capture precisely that role, in that case they could charge almost whatever they want while they are not forced by competition to have high quality (and therefore expensive) content. Plus I am afraid that the market tends to produce a monopoly, because a individual subscriber will look for the service that has more content.

[1] Hetzner currently charges EUR 1.40 / TB of additional traffic, so marginal distribution costs are in the range of EUR 10^-3 / Movie.
Theoretically, it should require an email to reactivate an account.
OP didn't get one I bet.

You mix in legitimate coins, and deposit them at a bank in Northern Ireland as takings from your (real) businesses. With a rotating cast of 20-ish fronts (each with multiple bank accounts), you could put in £1MM+ a month easy & transfer it onwards as normal-looking purchases.

Note that this was a great way to get millions of coins into circulation back in the early 2000s, not so easy now.

Bit of experience here: in the USA the FDA gets very upset about unsanctioned experimentation. There is a quasi-exception. The one drug I worked on that made it into trials had previously been tried on one human -- me. I already knew it wouldn't have tox implications -- we were more interested in the injection procedure itself. Plus we did some diffusion tests on my tissue which showed results consistent with the guinea pigs. The quasi-exception is that I was the CEO -- even the chief scientist couldn't do it since it could later be claimed I coerced her. But supposedly the CEO couldn't be coerced.

It's only a quasi-exception since you still have to report it in the back of your NDA (New Drug Application) and you're reporting a violation of procedure. But the NDA is enormous (used to be truckloads of documents, though now electronic), and by that time you have hundreds of human experiences with the drug. Obviously with an n of 1 it can't count as trial data, you're just writing up that once you were naughty.

(the whole process is weird -- technically, when you apply to test a new drug you're not actually asking permission, you are actually asking the Agency is not to prosecute you for using an unlicensed drug because you promise to be careful and that your plans fit into one of the exceptions written up in section 505(b) of the food and drug act.)
> They assume their automated system can catch evil users in the act.

Where do they assume that?
I believe that is a lot to gain in branding and awareness from top notch movies. When I started to see high quality (ie expensive) productions with a-level Hollywood actors (eg House of Cards), it changed my perception.

I believe the next step is having "blockbusters" feature movies, with top notch CGI, a-level actors, maybe some Oscar contenders.

My impression is that low risk, big payoff shows would be optimizing for a local maxima. Big bets like the Will Smith movie might take them to a new maxima. And Netflix is basically a success history about reaching a new maxima one after another since its beginning.
