This is so awesome: https://feeltrain.com/blog/hello-feel-train/

I've had the same ideas over the last few years, even the hard limit on the number of people. It sounds like they are just doing some paid consulting work and sharing profits. But what I would like to do, is that everyone only works around 10 hours per week on consulting work, and we spend the rest of the time working on our own app or website ideas. Then we could share in all the risk / reward. So it would be like a self-funding startup incubator. And if we came up with a couple of things that were really successful, then everyone could just retire, or at least switch to "maintenance mode" where we only release bugfixes and minor updates. No need to take over the world, I would just love to have a few little apps bringing in some passive income.

I guess that's the tricky part though.. what happens if someone wants to leave? Do they keep some shares and continue to share profits, or do they have to give up everything? I couldn't find anything in the linked operating agreement.

The company I work for has hired 2 students via 457s that completed their engineering work experience with us during their degree. Finding high quality employees this way worked great for us, it's a shame that it won't work anymore, as I understand it.
I'm traveling and can't find the article but I recall reading recently in the local paper about someone in local government in Montana who was either being fired or prosecuted for failing to keep accurate records about transactions. This was revealed in some audit the state requires, iirc. Anyway the gist is that it isn't the case that city government people simply don't have to keep proper financial records.
At the same time, more specific data is always better.

The focus for Twitter, its investors, and the press have always been on growth, as if getting bigger would magically turn Twitter profitable. Sure there's the economy of scale, but they already claim to have more than 300 million users.

Even with only a 100 million users it would seem that an 11 year old company would have found its footing and started to make a profit, regardless of how small. The people managing Twitter are thinking in those terms, nor are its investors. They seem looked in a dotcom era mindset, where growth most come at any cost. They aren't going to be content with Twitter being a niche product.
It's an old and predictable rant, but for me Twitter is useless and unusable. 140 char limit is artificial and doesn't serve a point except to mimic sms, and interface is cluttered and horrible. Whenever I stumble across someones twitter is is completely unclear who writes messages and who responds to whom. All messages are littered with some visual garbage like tags that are for some reason inside of messages. It is just a UI mess.
> The sloppiness of this code is really shocking, "when the Monero client chooses mixins, it does not take into account whether the potential mixins have already been spent."

I'm not thoroughly familiar with monero's internals, so someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought it was well known that this was a deliberate design decision. Previously spent amounts don't actually run a risk of being double spent as they're only used anonymization purposes, as far as I understand. So why is this is considered "sloppy"?

It seems that English documents are accepted as well, so maybe you wouldn't even need to bother with a translation. If you do need a translation, it has to be from a "certified translator", but I'm not sure what that means exactly.

It looks like you also need a place to stay before you can apply for the work permit. You'll have a hard time finding a normal apartment from abroad, since most landlords won't rent to people who aren't here, so maybe you could book a low cost hotel or a room in a student dorm, then look for a place once you started working.

But all of that probably isn't that hard, and should be pretty straightforward. The only thing you really need is a company that wants to hire you.

Yes. You still haven't managed to think about what's our fault and why yet, though.
There's not much sense in using it on non-Angular projects, as all it adds to Webdriver is stuff to work with Angular's digest cycle. Regular Webdriver should work just fine for writing tests in code as well, and you can use webdriver-manager [1] or selenium-standalone [2] to install Selenium and keep the drivers up-to-date.

I work in UX design and I can already imagine all of my job being performed by an algorithm. Who is to say machine learning can't "read" through thousands of website data points and figure out the perfect layout for every type of website - apps, ecommerce, news blogs, etc. Do we really need "professionals" to weigh in on this sort of thing? The same goes for design - feed enough designs into an algorithm, provide some guidance on what looks good and what doesn't and have it spit out randomized layouts that are every bit as original as what you see designed by top professionals.
Nope. But if we screw them as well, then what happens there is our fault. That's how "fault" works. You screw someone and it's your fault.

Whoever did that study, they didn't interview me.

I mean, it's true that I care more about doing good work, learning new things, and making an impact. But I can do that on my own, and I've been self-employed for the last few years. The only reason I would join or start a new company is for the money.

So? Twitter is as much a platform for consumption as it is for broadcasting.

Also, I find that statement to be pretty untrue. For example, my own account only contains very few "original programming". Most of the time, I just scroll through my timeline and push "retweet" on the most interesting stuff. That has been enough to earn me nearly 150 followers.

An alternative is the 8x8 Grid-EYE from Panasonic, costs around £30. The Melexis equivalent is a 16x4 which costs about the same. Note you'll need to fill in a fairly lengthy export/release form to get hold of the Grid-EYE sensors. I haven't had any problems ordering them from Farnell, just tell them what your project is.

Both are fairly easy to talk to over I2C. You can make a passable wireless (low-res) thermal camera using something like a Particle Photon.

The MLX90640 isn't out until September unfortunately.

NB: Actually Farnell have the Grid-EYE for only £16, but the full range ( -20 to 100) model is backordered. You can still get the 0 to 80 version easily.
Not to knock the Jetbrains Team, but I'd like to see them more excited about the language server protocol. It has the potential to give me a much better default minimum level of support for so many more programming languages that their IDEs would be even More useful to me. Which is good for them. I don't expect them to instantly support things like Rust, or Erlang or Elixir, but I don't expect them to make it any harder for others to suppose these things.

Hopefully they start talking about adding support soon. It's just too good not to.

This is both fascinating and disturbing :)
Why not purchase it and give it away?
Yep. In addition, the reverse is actually true: at the federal level, many agencies are not required to use GAAP. In layman's terms, they aren't required to account for things in the way most businesses are. Common sense does not hold. If the Pentagon says 1+1=3? It equals 3. It's an odd world where money is appropriated to be spent. That's it. The rest of it is smoke and mirrors.

The smaller you are, the more "downhill" you are from the folks making the important regulations, and the more you're required to adhere to strict and closely monitored books. (Corruption still happens, of course, but at least there are numbers that add together and some form of reasonable audit trail for financial events. And don't get me started about whether or not good accounting principles have anything at all to do with good governance)

ADD: Here's a link for reference: http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/23/politics/us-army-audit-account...

(I could also tell personal stories from my time with the federal government, and there are plenty more links to find for those interested. The point is that more political power and money movement, at least in the states, usually is associated with fewer and less reliable financial controls, which is counter-intuitive)
They're a consulting shop, so it would be natural to say that people who leave don't share in the future profits.

For your idea where considerable income is expected to come from past work, I'd say it makes more sense to have ownership of the app assigned to an ad-hoc company that owns just the app, owned by the people there at the time the app was written. The coöp might take a hand in marketing the app and performing other administrativa, in which case it would collect a fee from each sale.

App_1_Co is owned by A, B, C, D and owns App_1.
App_2_Co is owned by A, C, E, F and owns App_2.
Coöp_Co is owned by C, E, F, G and sells App_1 and App_2 (taking a 10% cut) as well as providing consulting services.

Somehow the so called over optimistic intellectuals of our world (specially the AI ones) have this fundamental approach to their thought process that goes something like - "Once you solved some small scale problem, all you need to do is to scale the solution up to solve the bigger complex problem". This has been the case with first era of AI researchers and the same has been with the current set of researchers. Sorry to say but that's not how reality works.
Call Leo and his team. But seriously, what if you tie some ROI to a possible outcome? Is that possible? Nothing gets people moving like money.

You might want to edit your post prepending all lines of code with an indent (I use four spaces, but even two I think work), ie.

public String withoutX(String str) { //handles single x characters
if(str.length() == 1 && str.charAt(0) == 'x'){
str = "";
//handles empty strings
}else if(str.length() == 0){
str = "";
//handles all other cases
}else{
if(str.charAt(0) == 'x'){
str = str.substring(1);
}

if(str.charAt(str.length() - 1) == 'x'){
str = str.substring(0, str.length() - 1);
}
}
return str;
}

public String withoutX(String str) {
if (str.length() > 0 && str.charAt(0) == 'x') {
str = str.substring(1);
}

if (str.length() > 0 && str.charAt(str.length()-1) == 'x') {
str = str.substring(0, str.length()-1);
}

return str;

// Solution notes: check for the 'x' in both spots. If found, use substring()
// to grab the part without the 'x'. Check that the length is greater than 0
// each time -- the need for the second length check is tricky to see.
// One could .substring() instead of .charAt() to look into the string.

Ok, perhaps this is needlessly inflammatory, but this comment actually highlights an important issue. Be careful what you wish for. These approaches require data sharing and centralisation to work well. It could be used to sell data centralisation to health care providers, to get access to advanced algorithms.

But then the government starts using those algorithms to ration healthcare. Not contributing your data means you don't get anything. There won't be any going back then.

Well, at least where I live the problem seems to be one of availability of positions.

Older scientists took all the positions and basically closed the doors to new entrants when it comes to any kind of contract (we work on scholarships), so most of us just changes jobs to industry (which is ratter easy) and don't pursue a scientific career.

Of course now that those older scientists should be retiring, there aren't enough younger scientists to do their work because they pushed so many of them away.

Windows XP did actually include a built in FAT32 to NTFS upgrade tool. Of course, you did have to run it manually from a command line, but I never had a failure from it. Vista would convert automatically if it saw a FAT boot drive, and I think Windows 2000 would upgrade FAT16 to 32.

I wonder if Apple will take the same approach for macOS (convert manually if you want for now, or we'll use it if you reinstall). Seems like a far greater risk for Apple if upgrading the OS breaks something for a lot of people, when they want users to be completely comfortable about updates.
Scrap the system all together. This is frankly ridiculous.
There is (typically) a difference other than pitch. Formants will be in slightly different locations [1]; the energy in the spectrum is balanced differently; there is more aspiration noise [2]. You can model the latter somewhat with this tool by moving the voice source box down.

I've been creating a speech synthesiser recently and it does seem like simple approaches produce a voice that is more passably 'male' than 'female', even accounting for the pitch. Aspiration added with white noise sounds better but doesn't quite get that breathy quality across. I think more sophisticated techniques may be needed.

I started on my own "multi-language/multi-editor" (potentially) out-of-process "language server" (sans an established protocol) in Go (json over pipes because who needs sockets) as the MS-initiated LSP was and it seems remains very much in flight and in flux, still evolving. Once it matures and a fair number of other editors adopt it (to lend it long-term viability), I'd probably switch said backend process from custom-hodge-podge-protocol to that standard.

Of course the motivation here was to begin building out something I can easily extend to other editors and languages over the years to come as I noticed after some 15+ years that one switches out both editors and languages not-frequently-but-recurringly over a longer timeframe. At some point I assessed Sublime as abandoned and VScode as pretty damn hot, but the real lesson here of course is that some independence from one player's to-be-neglected-in-the-future tooling and/or protocols is .. pleasant. In the same vain, when I do switch I won't have to switch from a dozen 3rd-party nodejs-"powered" extensions to a dozen 3rd-party python-"powered" extensions but can just script up one lean frontend shim from the editor's extensibility API to the actual meat furnished by said Go-powered backend.

Bit of a funky concept. It really started out as "this is gonna be a weekend effort, heck I just run existing 3rd-party tooling command-line processes and pipe their results back over json sanitized and somewhat processed". Enter countless intricacies and we're talking a real code-base even for something initially-apparently utterly trivial and one-off! All the better to attack it once, in full.

Daemon doesn't imply communication capabilities, server does. In common parlance 'server' may carry a connotation of remoteness, but for software professionals a client/server architecture just means that there is a distinct process that other processes may 'talk' to via any agreed upon protocol (e.g., sockets or HTTP).

Just think of it as a local language server daemon. :)
