> Not only that, but also PATH had a length limitation of 128 characters. You can find more details in the Raymond Chen's blog, as useful as always.[2]

I should note there are still length limits - in practice you'll run into issues with as few as 2047 characters:

Debugging this is really annoying, as one of my coworkers found out when one too many applications decided to add multiple paths to PATH (for example, nVidia CodeWorks has added no less than 8 subdirectories of C:\NVPACK\ to PATH to support Android development - for gradle, ant, jdk, ndk, and the android SDK's support, build-tools, platform-tools, and regular tools.)

Said coworker ended up spending some time using directory junctions to shorten the paths in PATH to the point where his dev environment was useful again.
I found the same thing but would also recommend checking out Aurora, one of his later books; he's definitely less dry when it's a self-contained story.
Reminds me of Everquest, circa 2000, when a player got in over their head and started a 'train to zone'. Enemies would chase you to the end of the map/zone, so when a player realized they couldn't win a fight, they'd beeline for the boundary, and often picked up dozens of other enemies along the way. When they crossed the zone boundary, all those enemies would suddenly have no target, and fixate on any poor soul who happened to be nearby, or along their route back to their spawn area.

Haven't thought about that in a long time.

This seems more like, "issues with how Swagger is used in Java". A lot of Java developers are used to the SOAP APIs of yesteryear, and thus try to create clients with Swagger when they should be using gRPC or Thrift.

In other language paradigms, I haven't faced this issue. Swagger is _just_ documentation, and a nice front-end on top. The Java annotations definitely make it easy to generate, though, I'll give it that.
How do you get started with something like that? Do you have a blog or anything?
There was an article where a Reporter got the chance to drive the old Honda LMP-1 car around Sebring. One of the things that I found incredible was in his briefing they told him he had to take turn 2 no slower than a certain speed. otherwise the Body Work would not create enough downforce and it would go off track.

doomed to eat Heinz

There's worse things, like going to a nice restaurant for brunch and finding they offer some organic ketchup (occasionally even Hunts) or worse... make their own. Sir Kensingtons is okay, but not great.

Some people just want to dispute the fact that Heinz is, empirically, a great product. In my opinion, Heinz might even be a special case of this. What I mean by this is I'm not sure I've ever used Heinz somewhere where I thought "you know, Sir Kensingtons would really be better in this situation".

French's mustard is good, but not as versatile. I'd easily prefer a sandwich with Beaver over French's in most cases, but French's over any dijon for a hot dog. For mayo, Hellmans is closer to the class Heinz is in, but I'm happy with Kewpie in many cases over Hellmans, and a home-made aioli/mayo can bring something extra to certain dishes. That being said, I'd rather take Kewpie over Kraft Mayo and always over miracle whip.

Peanut butter is a little trickier. The major brands are all very good - Skippy, Jif. Off brands can be good. I don't mind old fashioned peanut butter, but it can't compare to the creaminess/texture of the big guys. It's also a pain in the ass to stir it and putting it in the fridge as a hack for that is a terrible workaround.
To be clear the idea of education and operational standards is a good idea I just believe your idea would lead to institutionalized and licensed stupid that is very hard to change instead of real sane standards.

I don't know if standards imposed from on high can even be formulated in a way that improves rather than ossifies in the long term your concept may even be broken just in context of current affairs but unfix-ably broken in all possible worlds.
>It's worth pointing out that the "big four" tech companies aren't the only tech companies worth working at.

They're not, but there's lots of other large-to-midsize tech companies out there that people don't mention when they mention the Big Four, because they're mostly the same. They're in the same locations, and work largely the same.

>You could very well have a higher upside working at a small, remotely friendly company, from Chiang Mai or Bali where the cost of living is 1/15th of SF, and still have a relative mass of expats doing similar things.

The problem here is: what happens when you get laid off? Now you're screwed, because you weren't getting paid much (you say you only get 20% of SF salaries; that won't even leave you enough left over to move back to the States and make a down-payment on a house or a 2-month deposit and 1st month's rent), so you don't have any savings worth anything, and now you're unemployed and have zero hope of a new job in some foreign country.

This is why attempts to "insource", or locate tech companies in cheaper parts of the US, never work out well. You can't get many workers to pack up and take a huge risk moving to the middle of nowhere, where there's only one employer. If they get laid off in a month or two, they're really screwed. So people stay in the tech-hub cities where there's plenty of other jobs in case something goes wrong. It's all about minimizing risk.
I do the same. I usually watch all lecture videos at 1.5x or 2x speed. Saves me tons of time which is good because usually to videos are of random interesting topics that are distracting me from work.
Very interesting.

Can you speak as to the stability of your system for production usage?
F1 is totally not the absolute pinnacle of car technology. It's the premier racing series but the hypercar projects such as the Red Bull / Aston Martin and the AMG project will shame any F1 car because they don't have to conform to a rule book.

Sorry, there's just no way putting a bunch of limits on stuff like traction control and other "cheats" counts as being the absolute peak when there are road-going examples of cars with superior tech from an objective standpoint.
The question is not about this IoT Garage Door disabled, it's about how safe our devices are if it's gone connect to the providers server. I'm sure this Startup will comeup with a story saying it was by a 'so called' bad employee and try to manage the PR for the day. How's that this and other co are going to safeguard our data/access to our own product/home if it happens to say a Smoke Detector or Smart Lock if we give bad review. Will they unlock it and claim its' a glitch because I've given a bad Review and sigh go nuke and use abusive language ? What the hell is this ? I thought the Govt alone is acting in a Totalitarian mentality, looks like it's given Co. also the feeling that they can act like this in a Democracy. What ST is this ? Who to believe ? What to buy ? What if a Smart Smoke Detector co employee decides not to alarm/notify me when my kids are at home alone ? If a life is lost will they be able to give back ? We need LAWS to CLOSE DOWN such Co. so that they don't hide behind 'so called' bad employee or 'so called' bug/glitch in their program.

It raises a larger question, are Smart Devices are really Smart or gone screw us one day like this ?
Depends on your computational problem. For image, video or audio processing where the Apple SDK is superior to most others it might be the best deal, for others maybe not.
Some widgets are pretty advanced, I saw a presentation by a developer from Bloomberg, in NYC, about their bqplot widget library.

They even have gamepad/controller support, which allows dynamic interactions with widgets.

Wow. I don't know what the time scales are when companies like Dell or Zotac spit out one of their bespoke desktop towers, but "not this year" for something they obviously already worked on for a while seems long.

Obviously the trash can was a huge design effort and I get the feeling they want to be just as revolutionary this time if they spend so much time, when they are obviously in a hurry.

Shouldn't they just be making a new 2 socket cheese grater tower? As simple as possible? The USP of the Mac is Mac OS, not that it uses a custom power supply.

Thanks for replying.

So it's a bunch of different technologies - nodejs,etc. I'm kinda wondering if it can be built in Python itself. Make it part of a normal jupyter install, so just a "jupyter hub start " will work ?

EDIT: adding to that, you have built a nodejs based http proxy - can you not build it within Python (for uniformity) or nginx (for performance as well as mind share) ? Do you even need to mandate a http proxy ?

Second question is that can it run in a multiprocess - I don't want to run it in interactive mode, but just straight top to bottom. Perhaps there's huge memory savings there.
Good ole' Nesticle. I remember I was so pumped because I could play the Japanese Final Fantasy's that never got released here. Then I was part of the Destiny of An Emperor 2 translation beta into English, that was fun.

I was in... 6th grade I think when I found out about Nesticle, it changed my life.

How do you see capital being replaced by information?
Whether you call it "business logic" or "the real code", the fact remains that the real, sneaky, controlling code; the one that manipulates users emotions[1], must remain secret and restricted.

I don't think companies that do this have a true commitment to respecting their users, and their rhetoric about the evils of copyleft always make me think, "what are you trying to hide or control?"

ZSNES certainly had the L+R+A problem, too. [1] I assume the default key mapping hit a failure case with some common limited-rollover keyboard design, but I've never bothered researching it. It's possible it was caused by Allegro, as well.

>Of course, if you are specifically looking for consumer tech, ease of use and support, then open source probably isn't for you.

If you can look past your smugness a bit, why? Why is it that if I want "ease of use", open source isn't for me? Do you not see the problem here? I can't see how you can argue your favorite projects are more "innovative & stable than anything Apple have ever produced", but in the same breath say that open source isn't for someone who wants ease of use. What exactly does "stable" mean to you?

> are you actually comparing Nazi symbolism to the LGBT flag?

Again, you're comparing a symbol for a culture/organization that committed _genocide_, to the symbol of a group that was a victim of that genocide. Then you have the audacity to say they could be similarly offensive?

Take your thinly-veiled fascism elsewhere.
Most of the things that skyscraper needs in order to be a viable structure - electricity, data, water, sewage - lie underground in systems that will not survive extended submersion beneath seawater.
The symbols, especially in this particular context, are put up as representations of the communities (and their ideals) that put them there.

What community does the swastika represent and what are their ideals?

The 'passive' bullying is done by displaying the symbol in a public space to 'bully' those who recognize it as a message that they are not welcome and not wanted in that space.

I don't want to detract from TBL's accomplishments, especially on this occasion but, he didn't solve the hypertext problem insomuch as he decided that the really hard things like provenance and bidirectional linkages weren't important. Google and Facebook did solve those problems, but only for commercial benefit. Moreover, it's clear that TBL regrets that early decision to the degree that he rails against the walled gardens.
Yes indeed, there are lots of ways to represent/combine the data to actually create something valuable. Even for experienced users.

I would be interested to hear more about your project when it launches
It was also cleaned up fairly early, I was just disappointed they didn't add full justification.
We have to added more languages, and give it more functionality. For example, ensure it works with GitLab and add auto correcting linters.

> By the same standard

They were describing a situation of 99% bad people where you write off the 1%. You seem to be describing the inverse. That's not the same standard.
That's not a good question. There have always been people who wouldn't have wanted to move to the US, for various reasons. People usually like to stay at home, in a culture they're familiar with, near people they know, unless something really pushes them to leave.

A better question is: take a random sample of 100 devs in Ukraine and India in early 2016 and offer them a green card, and then do the same today. How do the numbers compare? Now you're seeing how many people would have liked to come here, and now have changed their minds because of recent political events.
I am developing a new TCP/IP stack targeting embedded systems primarily. It is being written in a restricted subset of C++14 (e.g. no dynamic memory or exceptions, but virtual functions are great).

There is a LOT of things complete already, it pretty much works. ARP, IP(v4), TCP (with NewReno congestion control), PMTUD, DHCP client. The design is single-threaded around an abstract event loop that a user would generally need to implement unless they found one of two provided implementations useful. The focus is correctness and reliability rather than performance, hence no DMA support for now and maybe forever.

Source code is here: https://github.com/ambrop72/aprinter/tree/ipstack/aipstack

Actually this is currently in its testbed project (APrinter firmware for 3D-printers) where it supports the integrated web interface using a custom HTTP server.

In addition to the one embedded platform where the firmware currently supports Ethernet (Duet board), it is possible to run on Linux with a TAP interface which is my primary testing setup.

If anyone is interested (in assisting development ;) I can help explain things and show how to set it up.

>If I can save X dollars per year in San Francisco then I need to be able to save X dollars per year in Iowa not just live similar lifestyles on less money.

Agreed, and I think that is what people are saying. Also, do make sure you do an apples to apples comparison. In the Midwest, I may pay $1500/mo to live in a 2500 sq ft house (and less with all the tax credits related to interest/real estate). Compare the same cost for a 2500 sq ft house you are buying in SF. I generally see people comparing the 2500 sq ft house in Iowa with the 1300 sq ft apartment in SF, which is not a fair comparison.

Also, consider the age of the house.

How much per month would a 2500 sq ft house built after 2000 in the Bay Area cost you in mortgage + taxes?

> It's crazy to me that it's harder to write a Swagger file than it is to write the API itself. And there's a lot of tooling that benefits from Swagger, but... I've found they all work 80%. Codegen, documentation, etc get 80% of the way there.

Completely agree. This was one of the reasons I liked using hapijs and joi in the past; they combine to validate and setup your HTTP endpoints and the swagger documentation is literarily generated from that code and not some separate thing you have to write. Unfortunately, outside of that very specific space, very little seems to exist.

Hapijs has its own issues and it's rarely my goto node framework anymore but it's hard to beat doing documentation that way.
I think Swagger is nice--codegen makes it simple to generate API clients for various languages/frameworks. Saves a lot of time and potential sources of errors. If there is something easier/better/more reliable, then I am all ears, but Swagger keeps getting better.
I suggest you choose your distribution and software more wisely. Yes, this is the big disadvantage of freedom and choice.

I agree, and I can't recall where, but I think I read some article explaining why Heinz ketchup is a special case. Basically it's a really fine control of texture, moisture, acid and sweetness, and it's hard to do just right. For years I was really sold on the idea that other ketchups must be better (after all, I like Hellman's mayo, but I freshly made is really REALLY good). I tried all of the chunky, and the smooth, the salty and the smoked. I tried oyster catsup, and all of the rest. Some of them are really good, but none of them are as multipurpose (a point you get at with French's for example).

It may just be that tomato ketchup is one of those things where you can make it different, but not "better"; that there is an ideal range and Heinz occupies it. If you want a spicy condiment, or a sour one... you probably don't want tomato ketchup in the first place. While you might want a smooth or a fine grain mustard, or a spicy or a plain one, you're rarely going to want that from a ketchup.

It depends on the situation. There are cases where a senior engineer outperforms three or more warm bodies and cases where two warm bodies would be much more preferable, it depends on the content of that job.

And I have witnessed a case where simply removing "one senior engineer who has worked on this particular software for years and therefore knows his way around it" was a key part of finally getting that software on track, as he was providing literally negative value.

Also, relying on particular single people who "know their way around" some code is an organizational smell - if you have such a dependency then that's a management problem/business risk that needs to be fixed. You do need shared ownership and people who can replace each other, and (except for the very short term) a better engineer will be more productive than a worse engineer who has been stuck on maintaining that code for years.
"I don't know. The biggest cost of college is still, far and away, the time cost. I don't think that is getting any more expensive in the average case. A degree still roughly takes about the same amount of time as it always has. Other associated costs have definitely risen, but are a drop in the bucket compared to the total cost."

From what I hear from my young coworkers they often owe 40k after two years of college. If you realize then that you took the wrong major switching is difficult with that debt load. That is, unless you have a rich dad...
We are currently in beta, and so I don't think production use would be a great idea at this point. We are looking to get things more stable relatively soon so that more adventurous users may try us out in non-critical-path scenarios.

Right now we're looking for feedback as people use it on their own machines or experiments. Don't want to mislead people into using this for something critical and having it not work.
Trade show marketing – I’m afraid I’m going to screw this up
I had these same issues. It took me considerably more time and effort to write a Swagger spec and get the UI to actually behave than it did to write my entire API and some simple docs in markdown.

I also tried out the "codegen" and a few other projects that generate boilerplate from a spec (for Python) - the code it generated was frustrating, lengthy, and much more complex than the simple endpoints that I quickly wrote from scratch.
Congrats on the release!

I'm in the process of migrating from influxDB to a combination of Kafka and TimeScaleDB.

Signal App Downloads More Than Double Since Trump's Election
As a hobby project I'm writing a VM based on VLIW opcodes, so an interpreter written in C (and in assembly for few popular architectures) could run reasonably fast without requiring JIT (i.e. instead of fetching one instruction per iteration, a big instruction containing many instructions with its respective parameters is fetched). On top of that will run a scripting language optimized for fast string processing (I'm not sure about the viability of the compiler, yet -I guess I'll have to put customized opcode combinations for most frequent load/alu/store combinations, for the specific need of the scripting language on top of that, i.e. not academia stuff-).
In general, something star is the optimal value.
