Honestly, the average launch doesn't get a rush of visitors whenever you 'make the big announcement' -- that kind of thinking isn't really grounded in reality. You may hear about it on HN, PH and the Twitters, but they're the exception, not the norm.

Reality is that nobody will visit your site after you launch and you'll have to work really, really hard at getting those first few customers.

I've put my hopes into the 'launch rush' before and was crushed when it didn't happen. (Twice, actually.)

You built the MVP, and that's an awesome milestone, but that doesn't mean the hard work is over -- it's only a start of a different kind of work.

Maybe someone who knows more about structures can comment, but I guess the big issue is how rigid the joints are. A triangulated structure is good because the joints don't need to be fixed--they can be hinged pin-joints and the frame is still rigid + easier to calculate structurally. But if the joints are very rigid, you can go with slightly less efficient option of rectangular framing if that's more convenient.

In architecture it's sometimes called a Vierendeel truss, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vierendeel_bridge
and it's very handy for avoiding inconvenient diagonal columns. (There are some high-profile buildings that use it, e.g. the Salk Institute in La Jolla, the HSBC building in Hong Kong.)
Extracting text from PDF is not hard, though PDF only contains low-level formatting instructions so the result might not be nice, especially if the original PDF has any non-trivial formatting, like pull quotes, multi-column text, etc. If you don't care about that or the correct "flow" of text, it should be easy enough to just find all the Tj and TJ operators and extract their operands. You might also need to reverse some ligatures though.

Producing nice semantic HTML is much harder, though also easy if you don't mind every word in a separate absolutely positioned div.

Many PDF reader software already contains empirically tuned routines to infer the text flow and generate text files (because the software needs to handle Select All and Copy), but they often produce bad results.

But if you just want to read a PDF on a remote machine over ssh, the easiest solution might be just transferring the file and then opening it locally, or use X forwarding and open the PDF with a graphic reader.

I second this - the two golden startup fallacies: 1) someone will steal my idea, and 2) I'm going to be overburdened with users.
People who understand how close to the edge of disaster we are don't seem to understand how far past the edge others already are, and have been for generations.

Nuclear strike is only a relevant fear for people who live cushy lives exploiting those who already live in post-apocalyptic landscapes, often just down the street from them. Those who can afford to worry about imaginary disasters are clearly desensitized to current ones.

Those who truly care about holocausts are already busy putting out fires. Those who only care about themselves are worrying about nuclear weapons.

In C you would only use void pointers very occasionally, to work around the lack of generics/templates in data structures. Most of the time, objects have types. In Cello, everything is a void pointer. Limited as it is, compiler type checking in C is still valuable.

Agree with others are (sort of) saying. If you're a 5 person team and the CEO please keep the card on your name. Then, create a accountspayable email address so you're the only member in it. Then, whenever you get a CFO on board, include him on the account -- this should be possible on the card provided -- however, the main point is that you're aware of things that go on with your account. Have some kind of process in place so there's dual approval on critical operations (txns above a certain amount, voiding transactions etc).

It's difficult to believe that anyone who can claim to really know computers thinks they aren't based on a series of interacting rules. That's basically all they are.

Understanding how those rules interact, how to trigger certain interactions others didn't intend, and the best practices to not get bit by those interactions is what security is all about. It's much like law or medicine in that you are looking at unexpected consequences of multiple complex systems interfering with one another and looking for compromises and best practices to keep the most disastrous interactions the least likely to happen.

> What can a normal person do to avoid harm from these things?

The best defence against this sort of stuff is ignorance. From my experiences, knowing opens these 'doors'. It doesn't make you immune, but staying away from it certainly helps.

Then again, I look at these techniques as part of what makes me human. And living and being is dangerous. I'll embrace these things, to know thyself. It is a very dangerous road. I know the Buddhists also talk of the same, saying the route I take is the quickest to enlightenment, but also one that can have disastrous consequences (usually to myself).

> Is it that we don't cross paths with them as often as we did, or perhaps the concern to protect oneself in the past was overblown, or perhaps they don't even exist?

Oh, they exist alright. I've met many, and butted heads against a few. Go no further than reddit.com/r/occult . There's 40k members subscribed. There's a healthy book selection at the local bookstores over Paganism, Wicca, Witchcraft, and Occultism.

One thing, is the secrecy is still in effect. Even I created a throwaway to disambiguate my normal tech persona from this. If people at my workplace found out what I believe and do, who knows what would happen. Mockery, derision, fright, anger, indolence. Ive had those aimed at me, by both atheists and christians (but usually christians).

> I admit I am very skeptical, but it's been interesting topic to discuss.

That's fine. So was I. And in a way, I still am. I'm talking with someone with a background in physics about further ways to make sensors that can bring the occult to physical world. Instead of this realm being all eerie, and shrouded, I want to blow this idea of occult wide open, so that all may participate. That, as you can probably understand, angers quite a lot of people.
I'm not getting any sleep tonight. WOW

When you rewrite your now hosed mission critical app you won't get screwed again. Seems like a reasonable response to getting screwed to me to move to a different supplier. But hey, making better friends with whatever supplier is screwing you without your consent could work too..? Deciding they're really ok and coming to terms with it as the natural order of things could work too..? Protecting yourself and claiming autonomy isn't the only solution by any means.
I have a feeling he was talking about the process prior to that.
This isn't your normal Asian market. Most of us are happy that we can even make our clumsy attempts at buying sample quantities without speaking the language nor having a local business.

We have all major browser vendors on board with discussing these things in the W3C's GPU for the Web Community Group, and we expect to end up with a final result based on multiple prototypes as inputs.

Submissions so far include:

Apple's WebGPU proposal: https://github.com/gpuweb/proposals/tree/master/WebGPU-Apple

Google's NXT proposal:
https://github.com/gpuweb/nxt-chromium

We expect Mozilla to be submitting their proposal to gpuweb soon too.

Khronos only has two of four browser vendors on board. It remains to be seen what will happen, but I doubt it will lead to a cross-browser standard. Browsers are more relevant for web standards than 3d graphics drivers.

no more than 3 arguments for your functions

It is hard for me to believe that this is a piece of style advice that anyone writing serious software would follow.

If you need to do something wherein the basic task requires 8 arguments' worth of information (which happens A LOT) then trying to factor that into 3-argument pieces is going to give you something Byzantine that is probably also buggy (and it could get extremely heinous, in a way determined by the data dependencies internal to the procedure you are factoring). And if you somehow succeed at all this, congratulations, you just did a bunch of engineering that did not improve the functionality of your software in any way. (In fact it probably made the software take longer to compile).

If doing a certain job needs 8 pieces of information, it needs 8 pieces of information. It doesn't help anyone to try to break that up.

Similarly with this:

keep the complexity of the functions as low as possible

Not really. If you are just factoring some block of complexity in to 4 blocks of less-complexity, well, now you have the same amount of complexity as the original code, plus the complexity of the call graph, and the fact that the person who comes along to read the code will not be able to clearly see the control flow.

There definitely are many cases when factoring a procedure into simpler things is beneficial. But to claim that it's a good idea all the time, or even half the time, is I think mistaken.
Why? I can't stand that and can't fathom the purpose.
The right talks about more freedom, but their actions result in less of it.

Arbitrary power used to be much more concentrated in one particular race and one particular gender. The left has been trying to diffuse that power, the right is trying to re-concentrate it.

Furthermore, there is the concentration of power that comes with having vastly more money than the median person, and the ability to use it politically. Or the power that comes from monopolistic control over an industry. The left generally seeks to curb these powers (e.g. the fight against Citizens United, or for more antitrust action).

The Magna Carta is illustrative: it's a set of regulations aimed at reducing the exercise of absolute power. The lesson is: if you restrict the powerful, the net freedom of the population increases.

A more modern example: the regulations that prohibit companies from firing their employees without cause are a reduction in freedom for the employer, true. But with them, the far more numerous employees are now more free to be and say things that upset the powerful within the company (in ways that are specifically unrelated to the performance of the work) without fearing retribution. Overall, an increase of freedom.

The right wing, under the banner of "less regulations", have consistently lessened the protections of the weak against arbitrary power. They fight for the freedom of those with money, corporate power, and political influence to do as they please. That's a retrogression of overall freedom, and (IIRC) exactly what Atwood was talking about.
Pretty sure you can do that with Alexa. There's one in my office, and my co-workers use "computer" as the wake up phrase.
Never forgot the first time i watched Threads. I was a teenager up late and flicking through TV, probably hasn't had a nightmare since i was 4 years old but I dam well did that night. Brilliant piece of work by the BBC.
Also the legal team would have probably put a price on it. The C-graders can then know they'll make enough to still pay themselves big bonuses, through the publicity of the court case, etc., and conclude that the personal risk to them is non-existent [go U-S-A!] and so it's worth doing any way.
> Don't you agree that the numbers are the way they are because of cultural stereotypes?

Partly because of cultural stereotypes. And partly because there actually are differences between males and females. The part that's because of cultural stereotypes, yes, we should fight. And the part that isn't, we should accept.
SVB is the worst! Go Capital One or AMEX
You know, the worst part about this is the claim made on the WebGPU blog post - "Microsoft has Direct3D 12, Apple has Metal, and Khronos has Vulkan. None of these run across all platforms." The only holdout for Vulkan adoption is Apple and you know who controls WebKit for the most part? Apple. Well that and Windows Phone.

Anyways, the API in the samples looks strikingly similar to Metal.
In particular splay trees do this by rotating elements to the top whenever they are accessed (IIRC) and while they aren't formally balanced, they tend to be "balanced enough" -- if you only ever access a few elements, they will be clustered at the top and the structure of the rest of the tree doesn't matter
Hmm, Contact lens wearer for 30 years now. For 28 of those years I was a RGP lens wearer. They provided much sharper vision for sports, were very cost effective (initial investment was high but lasted 3-5 years with proper care), and daily maintenance was pretty easy.

RGP lenses require a separate cleaner for 30 seconds then a solution for inserting/soaking (eventually they did come out for an all-in-one solution but I never got the same comfort from it). Since day one I was taught by my teenage eye doctor to used tap water as the rinse of the cleaning solution and did for all that time. If you didn't get the cleaning solution off real well, you'd feel it in your eye for a minute. The instructions say to use soaking solution as the "rinse" but I never did as it would be much more expensive and water always worked.

Maybe the type of lens is more susceptible to AK/Infections? RGP is a rigid almost hard type of lens. I've never had any sort of problem using tap water all this time. I've even slept in them a few times in my life. It would seem softer lenses would allow things to adhere more? I wonder if there are any correlations to the type of lens to infection?

I went to dailies two years ago mostly for comfort and convenience. I don't wearcontacts as much as I used to as i've gotten older (just throw on my glasses now because who cares now..) and RGP can get uncomfortable if not wearing them often enough. It appears dailies can give one a false sense as you get "fresh" ones every day. I've swam/showered with them at times and now worry after reading she got the AK even using dailies.

I am bewildered actually because you'd think dailies would be the best possible lens for your eye health. Soft, highly breathable and new pair every use.
You need to pick your battles. Not being tapped by the NSA is a pretty high bar, where certainly for me, I just don't want my ISP or sites I visit to have the data.

I think WeChat's specific success in China was really driven by WeChat payments and QR code - both of which failed in the US. These two features were critical to support so many use cases that WeChat enables today (payments, peer to peer transfers, offline to online service). Yes the Chinese New Year helped garner interest and a lot of people use WeChat to send red packets, they also connected their bank accounts and started using it for payments. This is again in line with how WeChat launches every feature. They try to launch it in groups rather than getting each individual user to try it separately.
>By exporting WeChat, China not just exporting a chat app, but also exporting a vital function of its Great Firewall: it's ability to control communications between citizens within it. Even for democratic states like India, where WeChat is starting to gain a foothold, this could pose a very real threat to freedom of speech if WeChat were ever to become dominant, and greatly increases the potential power of government should they ever want to overreach for it.

Strings are length 10 to 100. A cache line is 64 bytes. A cache miss is < 1000 cycles < 10^3ns. That makes < 1s for 10^6 strings.

Furthermore adjacent strings are likely to be adjacent in memory, from which I would naively expect cache prefetching to succeed.

Additionally, the curve is quadratic (if at all), not linear. I bet the author looked up all n strings from the vector of n strings.
