I can understand why those scenarios would be concerning. Ultimately, what matters depends on the threat model. I believe that the Nix model can be used as a base for solving issues like the one presented here, and that it can be done in generality, for a wide spectrum of software.
Even a modern "advanced" calculator like this 2-line model[^] is just a blob chip and keypad matrix. Calculators are all extremely simple until you get to the graphing ones that have external RAM or even flash memory.

I go swimming for 20 minutes. I don't know what it is, but just being in the water keeps me in a calm place and usually helps with my worries. As much as it helps me to get my mind off things, it helps me to actually think more clearly about things.

Find a hobby. Keep your mind busy. Know that everything is going to be okay.

Not OP, but one I came across yesterday was `date`.

Linux: `date -d '10 mins ago'`
Mac: `date -v -10M`

There's loads of tiny differences like this. Often just old versions, and you can pull in the latest with `brew` or something.
That's an incredibly naive view of things. To not recognise that Jeff Bezos's wealth is the product of a violent system is wilfully ignorant.
Yes, just like reading research papers will expand your horizon and build your cognitive map, the more code you read, the more you'll see concepts and patterns repeating. You'll start to identity what's important and how things are related in sometimes subtle ways. You'll encounter the same idea expressed in different forms, in different languages. This will help reveal the essence of an idea as you begin to identify its invariants that persist from language to language and form to form. You'll see contrasts between good code and bad code. Beautiful code and ugly code. Readable vs cryptic code. Clean lines vs nesting. Your sense of style and aesthetics will refine. But don't just read code in your preferred language or domain of expertise. Learn to read code in multiple languages, in multiple paradigms. High level and low level, up and down the stack. Read to refine your thinking. You'll develop fluency, and your code will evolve.
Think about every issue in your current backlog. What's the real reason it's in there, and not in the done pile? I'd willing to bet the root issue is lack of documented scope leading to a lack of ability to estimate which leads to a lack of ability to prioritize... Writing and reading are important; I wouldn't let people get away with half-baking requirements even if I worked right alongside them... always be kind to your future self and document.
According to the screenwriter, they hedged a bit on the question of free will in the movie compared to the book. He specifically addresses this here: https://youtu.be/xzEPU2PTjT4?t=23m55s
Well that standard claim is utterly bunk given the reality is that we cannot just choose to switch to a different supplier when:

1. Most of the time there is no alternative
2. Even when there's alternative, it's probably crap
3. If the alternative isn't crap, then the existing market players will engage in anti-competitive tactics until there are only crap market players remaining.

Amazon is, by any definition, a company engaging in illegal anti-competitive business practices. Losing money in order to stifle competition is nothing new, and it's still as illegal as it has ever been: very.

I have been laid off enough to know that no job is safe, no matter what job you are in. The best thing you can do is work on things while you have a job that will set you up and secure your future. Get into that mindset and as long as you are working towards it, you have a better chance at future security.
The same codebase compiled with Xcode 8.3 produces a binary about three times larger at 158MB, including 70MB for bitcode alone.

Capitalism is inherently violent whether you like it or not. The police violently repress anyone seeking what they have a natural right to: their fair share of the wealth.
I disagree with this frantic overreaction. I'm skeptical of speeches if the sort "these days we can't do x anymore like before" in general. Because in fact, today deviating from the norm is more tolerated and even celebrated than at any other time in American history at least. This is unquestionable. This is an edge case. Could you be a public figure 50 years ago and tell someone you were into anything but heterosexual monogamous missionary sex for the purpose of procreation? I don't think so.
Yes, supply comes into it too.

I guess I don't know what regressive means anymore.

It doesn't mean the poor pay more. It doesn't mean the poor pay more proportionally to income...
That fraction of the world is significant though.

You're talking about millions of people who have so much less than nothing that they will have to work for years just to get to $0.

With all our technology, our wealth, our sophistication; all the work of our ancestors and the sacrifices they made, all the works and understandings they developed, and the ability to transmit this knowledge at the speed of light and for damn near free; with the incredible bounties of the earth, the ocean, the sun, plants, animals, fungi - with all that, why should so many people be in such a hole, working their arses off as they make wealthy people wealthier?

While you may feel privileged to have a single dollar to your name, 8 people have more dollars than 3.5 billion people. That points to real, catastrophic injustice endemic in our systems and societies, even our belief systems.
our taxes are much higher meaning people and companies have less disposable income - more money is in the public sector rather than the private sector. Structural is the way our society is set up, there are lots of public services so people rely on that more than on personal savings. We don't have as many venture capitalists as America, we don't have the same number of startups, the wealth in our nation is tied up in the hands of a few large corporations rather than spread out among many businesses.
Yes, the Algorithm changes if you can go back to an earlier partner. You can keep looking further beyond 37% and defer decision making.

I wouldn't recommend dating multiple people at once.

Say your goal is to find your soulmate in next 2 years, let's define n =24 months. Then you keep looking for the next 9 months without committing to any one. Let's say the name of your perfect partner in the first 37% is Max. Then you start looking beyond the first 37%, the first person better than Max is your soulmate. Considering there is chance of refusal or rejection, you can start earlier (follow the above algorithm at 33% )
Absolutely. Not only the condemning of a consensual sexual practice (that should be nobody's business but the involved persons') but the invasion of privacy that led to this "outing" (because it's not like he was publicly announcing his sexual preferences).
There seem to be lots of emotional flaggers, that's about all I've gathered. Maybe someone could elaborate further.

That would require huge reorganisations (probably including constitutional changes) of all the Eurozone states. While possible, I don't think there is much appetite for giving up more sovereignty much of Europe.
Bezos is effective because his company engages in illegal anti-competitive practices. Amazon either breaks even or loses money, and the reason is because they have incredibly low prices. Why do they have incredibly low prices? Because they can, because they have the venture capital, and because others can't compete with those prices without that venture capital.

We're quickly reaching the point where without venture capital, there's no way to enter any market anymore. You can't start a company and just produce good products worth paying for. You have to have enough VC to be able to withstand sustained market pressure from those who do have it and can spend you out of the market by lowering their prices.

There's a reason that these practices are illegal.

Plus they pay fuck all tax.

Android Espresso – Introduction
You have to know which parameters are meaningful, any tricks that could be used in presenting them, the degree to which the person/entity reporting them can trusted for accuracy, anything that's changed about any of that stuff since the last time you checked, and probably more I'm forgetting about. Being even halfway informed about a majority of the products one might purchase is a time-consuming PITA that too often results in the discovery of the bathtub quality graph and the realization that all you can afford is cheap crap and more expensive but barely better rip-off crap, because that's all that exists short of the ZOMGWTF high end (or, possibly, becoming way more informed and spending even more time shopping for quality used products).

If you do find someone serving up quality mid-priced stuff, they'll probably be disproportionally expensive for what they are (if not as high as the luxury market, assuming there is one for that product) for reasons of low scale and the tiny market of informed consumers providing less support for competition.

It's not that no-one ever becomes an informed consumer of any product—it's that so few do that it's hard to sustain oneself selling real quality to bargain-seeking informed consumers, and when a company manages to they have trouble scaling to a point that they can lower prices and capture more market share. There's also less room for competition to survive, so there goes another price-lowering mechanism. And good luck getting distribution when retailers make a better margin selling faux-quality at the same price. It's not that you can't ever possibly succeed doing that, it's that it tends to be much harder, resulting in the observed crap/ripoff/luxury (luxury category not always existing for all products) categories of so many goods in practice.

Incidentally, agreed about good machine-made things being possible. Maybe small scale manufacturing/fabrication will get really cheap and break us out of this mess. As it is, they don't usually design the robots to make good stuff (if you can point me to machine-made knotted wool rugs that'll last 100 years at a substantial discount from the hand-knotted variety, ideally without my having to become a rug expert to verify that they really are similarly durable, please do)

Why is a brief interruption in Fastmail or Twitter or Netflix interesting? These things happen all the time. As a Fastmail user, I noticed that Fastmail was down, and then I looked at their status page to confirm they were really down and the problem wasn't on my end. Then I waited five minutes, and they came back up. Seeing a post about it on HN doesn't help me at all. And someone who is not a Fastmail user wouldn't care in the least.

They said they lost network connectivity to a couple of racks. What interesting things can we learn about their infrastructure from this? Their back-end IMAP server got disconnected and their web servers stayed up. It's a completely generic problem that can happen in any datacenter.

Sometimes it can be useful to expand the compound noun to see if it makes sense.

Apple pie:

- Pie found in apple(s)? Nope.

- Apple that is used to do something to pie! Hmm, no.

- Pie that is modified by an apple. No...

- Pie that is made with apple the primary ingredient? Yes

Ice algae:

- Algae found in ice? Bingo.

- Algae that is used to do something to ice? No.

- Algae that is modified by ice? Nope.

- Algae that is made with ice the primary ingredient? No again.

Ice axe:

- Axe found in ice? No.

- Axe that is used to do something to ice! Yes.

- Axe that is modified by ice? Definitely not.

- Axe that is made with ice the primary ingredient? No.

Finally...

Ice tea:

- Tea found in ice? No.

- Tea that is used to do something to ice? Not that I've heard of.

- Tea that is modified by ice? Mmm... it's not modified. It's still tea, only cold, not hot. Its temperature, a non-essential property of tea, has been modified. So wouldn't that be "iced tea", as in, "tea that is normally served hot but has been cooled down, namely, iced"?

- Tea that is made with ice the primary ingredient? No.

Bottom line: "ice tea" is ambiguous. "Iced tea" is not.

I regret I have honestly never heard of bubble tea (but I have heard of bubble gum), so I have no clue what it is, other than it has something to do with tea and bubble(s).

Is it tea with which one makes/blows bubbles?

Carbonated tea?

Tea served in a bubble?

Tea made from bubbles?

This is how you normalize tracking. Disney itself is only a mild concern. The problem is that this conditions guests to believe it's normal and safe to carry around tracking devices that record a detailed history of your movements and activities. Even if Disney's tracking is limited only to (public) activities in their parks, the lesson they are teaching will encourage acceptance of other tracking devices that appear similar even if their actual function is different/unknown.

No, that's not true. That's not at all true.
Ask HN: How do you handle new developers being added to your project?
New doesn't mean they're not experienced, just means they're potentially using different technology than yours. In my case I admit the tech I use is outdated (LAMP) so if someone comes in and is like "Oh we should completely redo this in MEAN/MERN" which while it hurts (haha), I admit my code is probably garbage. But I'm also happy to the idea that I'm not going to be the developer working on this and underpaid as well.

It'll just be interesting because I built it from scratch, no frameworks, setup the server and everything, I briefly looked into running Node/Apache side by side or port directing... I don't know that's a hypothetical situation anyway. It's just that with web dev there are different ways to develop something and deploy it. I'm not the guy to fight so I'll just be like "Alright sure, sounds good, have at it, what do I know I've only been building this thing for the last 4 months." But I acknowledge that I'm behind/not great. Have an open mind I guess.

It's not a big project or anything either. But the person I "work for" is looking through UpWork for another developer and I'll have some say (provide specifics of the site/what it's using/running on).

I am going to make the transition into Node, at least to be able to do what I do with MySQL/PHP with JavaScript/Mongo. No particular reason on Node, but to not be stuck in LAMP either. There's also Go... ahhh. There's a reason I don't work full time as a web developer.
I agree we aren't that lucky.I didn't know about derivation using n tends to infinity. Thanks for that.
each system is as violent as the people running it. An ideal king is just the land owner collecting rents from the people on their land, and lending rights to people they think can make more wealth from it.

Capitalism is perfectly happy with slavery; it didn't end because it wasn't profitable.

There's still some rather violent things in today's capitalism like "give me all your money or die from cancer" which when the capitalists gave you cancer, isn't much different than the violent king forcing you to farm. You give them what they want or you die.
I consider it a given that developers and IS professionals would (at least) publicly disagree with that statement. After all, if they agreed that closed-source was better, there would be fewer open-source projects, which gives them a smaller resource set. In the end, whether or not it's more secure isn't really the issue, it's what keeps the paychecks coming more effectively.

Being able to use code blocks from FOSS projects makes a developer's life easier, rather than consistently reinventing the wheel. It also allows for more code to get out the door, faster. So whether they're paid on salary so they can just browse GitHub (or SourceForge, etc) for the code they're looking for, or paid by project so they want to get things out quick, it's beneficial to have many open source projects across the entire ecosystem of computing.

Being able to review source makes an IS professional's life easier, because rather than testing the I/O of a black box (which is often time-consuming), they can look over "important sections" of the (often human-readable) code. With something like Notepad++, they have code indentation and highlighting, and can search for key phrases to identify those "important sections" which often show some kind of major security hazard. This means that they get more projects done, in turn being able to make more money.

So when you look at the situation from a "cui bono?" ("who benefits?") perspective as a relative outsider, those two groups of people who are most strongly in favor of open source are the two groups which are most likely to benefit from it. As such, I consider their statements subject to bias, whether conscious or not!
Part of me wants to give it another shot, if only for clojure. (no pun intended)
Most reasonable response here. So what if they try to extract information from my habits in the park, don't they want to improve? Don't I want them to be a better place to have fun? For chrissakes it's a goddamn theme park for children, people shouldn't let their privacy get in the way of their fun. If they find out that people who partake of X ride are 100 fold more likely to get corn dogs, am I really fucking suffering? Really? There's a time and appropriate place for everything related to privacy. How about the "Patriot" Act? That's a more pressing issue for cryin' out loud. It doesn't normalize anything. We are not stupid and should be able to differentiate when someone (gov't entity, what have you) oversteps their bounds. Not Disney World. Proportions, people. Proportions.
The article doesn't ask this, but I think it's kind of obvious: is this the future we want everywhere?

The majority of us are already carrying around personally identifiable smartphones with both long and short range antennas. The tech to both do the tracking and to the phones themselves are getting cheaper every year.

Would we be ok going to a local restaurant, tapping to pay and then they just find us? Or with Amazon's (prototype) wander in, put stuff in a bag and wander out stores?

Heck even the just passed "make your ISP data available to marketers" is I'm sure couched in this this same manner: we'll make things easier, we'll show you better ads, etc.

Disneyland feels more like a prototype of what to come than anything else.
...We're all carrying around smartphones, surely that's how you "normalize tracking"?

The Many-Worlds Interpretation of Developer Interviews
Bitcode size =/= binary size. Your binary sizes will remain similar.
iOS and macOS are both little-endian, but there are many other differences between platforms (like pointer alignment, SIMD size, ObjC ABI) and bitcode makes no effort at all to accommodate them.

Bitcode can used to recompile for minor ARM updates, compiler bugs, new optimizations etc without having to get developers to submit new binaries.
Perhaps you could consider the regulatory schemes in place in Canada, the UK and EU? Many countries have reduced the influence of money on politics without bringing an end to freedom of speech. The US is a clear outlier.
This is potentially a problem, as better optimisers can bring to life previously dormant bugs in the code.
This sounds like an interesting idea, thanks for sharing info about Sperner's lemma.

Toronto's problem (and to an extent the other major cities in Canada) isn't so much about the salary differences with SV so much as the entire tech ecosystem. The money and cost of living would probably affect decisions for people outside of the GTA trying to move here. But because Toronto is the largest city in the country and is the focal point of Southern Ontario, it could do well by simply retaining the talent it outputs.

The brain drain from the GTA and Southern Ontario has long been real. But alternatively, many people move from other places to Toronto. What makes it difficult for new grads and industry veterans from keeping shop in Toronto is that the mobility and learning experiences aren't there. There are a limited number of high-tech jobs here and anything else is likely in the medical, law, finance, or even media world. In that sense, I wouldn't even classify tech as a second-class citizen so much as being far down on the totem pole.

I partially wonder if the general inferiority complex of Torontonians/Canadians has created this effect. Because the city typically lusts for things from other places (such as SV or NY), it never develops its own reputation and chooses to be itself. Because of that, tech has never developed an identity because all of our tech talent chooses the shiny opportunity granted to them by some company because it's "from Silicon Valley". Just think of what the tech ecosystem would be like if all Torontonians simply stayed here.

For instance, I often posit what would have happened had the ML/DL community had stronger partnerships with AMD as opposed to building everything with CUDA/NVIDIA. AMD, afterall, is just up the street from the University of Toronto in Markham. A symbiotic relationship could've been built with Hinton's lab.
