> The correct answer to that is very simple, and very expensive: just make correct software.

I used to think that was unlikely. Then I had a few discussions with people about the state of C, and things that could be done to make it default to a slightly more deterministic case by changing how undefined behavior is dealt with in regards to optimization. Now I think it's impossible, because nobody is willing to give up even theoretical unknown performance increases for more security. At least for C. You would have to use something that's much more strict about behavior, like Ada with SPARK, or possibly Rust.

I'm willing to bet most the code already written for these projects is C or C++. Good luck getting that changed if so.
"Web startups are made out of two things: people and code. The people make the code, and the code makes the people rich. Code is like a poem; it has to follow certain structural requirements, and yet out of that structure can come art. But code is art that does something. It is the assembly of something brand new from nothing but an idea."

Are writers required to write a minimum number of words? Why so many writers write stuff that add nothing?
Oakland is great except for the poverty and side-effects of poverty. An influx of capital and ownership drives away poverty and makes it a non-issue.
Experimental Nighttime Photography with Nexus and Pixel
It's a misunderstanding of Buddhism to simply run away from all sources of suffering. Suffering must first be acknowledged, then accepted, then transcended. The best things in life take a LOT of suffering to get to. Think about running a marathon. Why do so many people want to do that? It must be worth it for them to suffer so much for it.

Buddhism has a lot in common with Epicureanism. This is the idea that "pleasure" is the greatest good. Epicurus's idea is that pleasure comes from a modest, curious, ascetic lifestyle. That long-term goals are much better than short-term ones.
What an amazing idea, pushing the boundaries of medicine...

In the table with experiment outcomes I see one lamb that survived for a while without mechanical ventilation... Was this the best outcome of the set? I couldn't make out if some of them were actually viable, and survived?

Can you explain a scenario where you would use the resulting Sketch file? I still don't quite get it (probably as not familiar with React)
>What? Not sure where you got that idea, but Facebook was never a good choice for photographers to showcase their work in isolation from other noise, or for people to browse photos in specific categories and collections.

What the parent says is that this, even if true, the above is totally irrelevant.

There's not much of a market for "photographers to showcase their work in isolation from other noise" or for "people to browse photos in specific categories and collections".

What there's actually a huge user base for that can be turned into ad money is casually sharing photos AMONG other stuff, with friends and relatives. Which is what Facebook offers.

This killed Flickr, except in the way you describe -- which nobody (as in: few millions of people) cares about.
Bitcoin makes moving money around slower, public, more expensive and monolithic. Its single advantage is that you don't have to trust anyone. That's a big thing, obviously, but it's hard to say it made the payment functionaliy better.
Did you consider picking up a sport? Say squash, football, basketball, anything? I can see why weights are boring, running is also kinda meh imo.

But sports is motivating for me, I see all those footbal stars on tv and I'm dying to try the moves, the drills and get better at it.

Also if you pick up a singles sports you probably should get a coach to set you on the right path in the beginning, you'll like it even more.
You seem to be arguing against technological progress in order to protect people. Most of us 'self-driving car' skeptics are just pointing out that the timelines presented in much of the press are wildly optimistic.
Did you ever think about monetizing it? I'm sure with your tool and Zillows API, this would be very valuable for people looking at homes.

One application is looking for places that are up and coming with values below MR.
I know that "killed" and "murdered" etc. are hyperbole, but I wonder if they might be toxic, bad hyperbole.

Flickr is still bigger and more important than anything I'll ever be able to take credit for. Any random reader of this comment will almost certainly have to admit the same.

So Flickr is a hit with photo hobbyists, and general-interest snapshot-sharing happens elsewhere. Big deal. That only makes Flickr "dead" if you have a very narrow vision of what it means to run a business, of what it means to succeed.
10 Great Tools for Automating Your Freelancing or Small Business
There are two characters in the book. One rides a newer BMW motorcycle and only lets the technicians work on it and just wants it to work. The other has an older motorcycle that he just intuits how its operating, how it feels, what it needs. The former is afraid of technology and just sees it as a tool to get what he wants done (to get from A to B) . The latter values the feeling of the ride, the ritual of riding, the journey more than everything working out issue free etc.

Before this book I couldnt understand why Apple existed, it exerted so much control over its users, it abstracted away the intimate details etc. Apple appeals to users because so many of them are afraid of being intimate with their tools, they just want it to work.

I say i was a total robot because to me it was all about the facts. The fact was i could get a "higher spec" machine for less money and have more control over it. But I couldnt empathize with the Apple users. Now i get it.
Yep, that's my situation. Been in the valley for a few years now since graduating. The work experience is good for now, but you quickly realize that affording a house here is mostly impossible unless you're on top of the bell curve or you have high combined incomes.

I want a garage, a driveway, a dog, the ability to really customize my living space, etc, but I don't think its going to happen here. I'd like to magically move somewhere else but its a somewhat intimidating process.
Totally agreed. Bay Area seems to be detached from the rest of the country sometimes and it's easy for people who live here to fall into echo chambers/cultural bubbles. I would not give out the company name, but I once visited this company and there is an "empathy corner" that displays low-end phones to remind employees that these still exist, probably because majority of the employees there are well-off and unlikely to own low-end devices. It struck me how detached from reality big tech companies could be and hence my decision to travel around other parts of the country/world to refresh my mind and get out of this bubble.
'The word amae comes from the word amaeru, which, according to Japanese psychoanalyst Takeo Doi (he's the guy who basically made this term a thing), can be defined as "to wish to be loved." On top of this, it has connotations of a need for dependency and a request for indulgence of one's perceived needs. This amae type of relationship is the ideal for all close relationships in Japan. It starts with child and mother, but expands out to student and teacher, student and upperclassmen, salaryman and boss, husband and wife, etc. It's the senpai-kohai relationship in a nutshell. If everyone is able to indulge their needs into everyone else then everything will work out, or so Japanese society has been saying for quite a while now."

I've seen a number of Japanophiles quite taken with this idea of amae, popularized by psychoanalyst Takeo Doi in 1971. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Anatomy_of_Dependence

To me it sounds like a bunch of Freudian psychobabble or pseudoscience.

The author doesn't even really attempt to empiricially link Japanese amae and non-cognitive skills (persistence, self-control, curiosity, conscientiousness, grit, and self-confidence) in the specific case of Japan—where children should do better on the the Marshmallow Test, if this is accurate.

Tofugu has some great essays on learning Japanese, but this is not one.

"Serious counter question; Why is nobody talking about cost? Cars are very expensive... is self-driving tech going to increase or decrease the cost of a vehicle? Do people generally want more freedom or less freedom choice?"

Because you don't need to own the car - you could feasibly rent one on demand (like a taxi), since you can now rent a car without the necessary wage overhead of the taxi driver, or the minimum costs of car-rental (i.e. car rental typically is per-day, for logistical reasons) or the logistical problems of car-rental (i.e. you need to drive to and from the car-rental place, to pick up and drop off the car - and by "drive" I mean "get a lift or use public transport").

Plus, the self-driving stuff shouldn't be particularly expensive, and will be counterbalanced by lower insurance premiums, and likely tax incentives once voters realise that they really do save lives.

"Why does everyone assume the cost will decrease with scale? How many people can afford a Tesla right now? Let alone a fully autonomous car?"

Because just about everything decreases with scale, and it's not inherently hard tech. Tesla's main problem is their lack of scale. As are autonomous cars.

"Why does everyone assume that most people want to share a vehicle?"

Money. It's not "want", it's "can tolerate so as to save money". Your car, when adding together all the costs (purchase, fuel, rego, maintenance, interest payments if you borrow instead of buying outright) is one of the biggest expenses that most people have. Sharing a car between several people should decrease the costs by an order of magnitude, which could be used to buy whatever people spend their money on these days, or saved.
I'm not sure what you mean by "terseness". Do you mean the size of the spec? Because as serialization formats go, it is on the short side. However, typical JSON data is anything but terse; it is almost the most verbose serialization format in use, beaten out only by XML. Which I suppose could be where you're getting the idea that it is terse from, but in that case, it is "terse" only in the sense that it is the second worse of all the couple dozen common formats. It's kind of like how I've said a couple of times on HN that new compiled language designers should be grateful to C++ for setting the bar for compilation speed so low; it makes it very easy to put "compiles more quickly that C++!" into the initial elevator pitch. However, you are not "fast" merely by beating the slowest, nor are you "terse" merely by being slightly more efficient than the worst.
Fun fact: The New York Jets have never beaten the Philadelphia Eagles
You're missing the point too. Your argument is that it's dishonest. Honesty is a moral concept, therefore subjective.

But we'll assume you're right and that such action is objectively dishonest. An ends-justify-the-means approach means there's good parts, bad parts and a price to pay. The price is eternal remorse for such action. Now let's see the good and bad parts:

Good:

- We get science and belief out of the political whims. Science is not a competition. Science exists to serve us all equally.

- People learn about the issues instead of believing baseless tweets.

Bad:

- We're making the candidate think they have chances to win presidency, displacing other candidates of the party... I guess? I can't really think of a negative side to this. Nobody's hurt in the process. We're not breaking any law. The party still has the same overall views.

And the price to pay is based on one's feeling, not on any real consequence or law. It's not ends-justify-the-means. It's just "wrong" because you feel like it is.

And everyday politics are already much more dishonest than this.
From what I gather, battery specific energy has grown by 4% to 8% per annum, so doubling every 18 to 9 years.

Applications in aviation (beyond tiny niche markets) would thus seem two to three decades away.

Got it. I admittedly know nothing about what the pricing will be here - and comparing to Tesla may be apples to oranges, but per The Verge (https://www.theverge.com/2016/10/20/13346512/tesla-self-driv...) the hardware for a Tesla is under $10k.

Additionally maximizing profit (and this may read as condescending but I do not intend for it to be so) does not necessarily mean maximizing price. Obviously if you are not selling at a loss you can potentially make more money with a cheaper price point on volume.

I do agree, however, that first adopters will likely pay a premium.

Eventually I imagine insurance companies will help subsidize these things too - if the price does not become trivial.

Personally, I'm always happy to hear from people who are genuinely looking to learn about my industry, get advice, etc. I'm busy, but coffee is easy, especially when they're willing to come to my location.

I'd say it's a "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take" situation. So ask!

Given that you've decided to ask, get a warm introduction if at all possible. Get a mutual acquaintance to introduce you, even over email. Don't have a mutual acquaintance? Start with who you know and build your network outwards. Alternatively, reach out in the context of that person's public activity: attend the same Meetup, comment on a blog post, etc.

Cold emailing will work best if you have several leads, so you can tolerate a lower success rate.
ohh you can use C# 7 features, gotta play around with it now
well lets be realistic

tagging is key
now facebook has shown us it can automate tagging people at least with face recognition
maybe it will be able to auto tag locations ... maybe it already does

so the solution will be a combination of

1- discipline, spend the time tagging your own photos (technology can help here by making this task more user friendly and easier)

2- be reasonable, dont take or save 10s of thousands of photos .. learn and accept to delete
(again technology can help here by suggesting what to delete , offer you almost identical photos and suggest to delete some)

3- automated tagging

4- skimming, loading and browsing should be super fast to allow photo skimming

i dont see solution outside of those 4 elements
two rely on you .. manual tagging and deleting (and they can be technology assisted)
two rely on technology .. auto tagging and skimming
>I personally don't understand this "redistribute CEO income across all employees" mentality because in reality there are very rare occasions where distributing the income leads to any substantial raise in the living standards of the employees.

Who are you to make this judgement? Would you feel the same way if you were being considered for a payout? And how does paying Marissa Mayer all that extra money raise her standard of living? Paying out windfalls more equitably is itself a worthy thing. Sure, some of the money will be "wasted," but it's not for you to judge whether anyone is worthy.

OpenStax is a really cool project, I agree. (https://openstax.org/) It's organized by Rice University, with support from big name foundations like Gates and Hewlitt. The textbooks are free online, or campus bookstores can order print copies more or less at cost (as I recall). I've done some peer review work for chapters of their recently released University Physics book.

My main complaint is that their books are (intentionally) completely traditional in content and format: they're designed to be maximally easy for a "standard" existing course to switch to (since professors are often reluctant to throw out years of work in polishing their lectures). That means in particular that if you want a more modern textbook redesigned from the ground up based on (e.g.) physics education research, you're still stuck asking your students to pay big bucks for it.

Also, one negative observation I've seen as a chapter reviewer, at least for this particular text: by their very nature, these textbooks aren't the result of one passionate author with a cohesive vision and voice. They're written chapter by chapter by a variety of authors under a central project management team. So while the content winds up being solid (I hope), the text itself isn't really much fun to read. (Not that most textbooks do especially well in that department! But there are some good ones that do, and that can pay off for the class.)

Let's hope they won't use anything else than a 12-gauge with birdshot.

A guy in my school was hit in the head while driving. He died instantly.

It was a bit of a mystery until they found out he was hit by a stray bullet that went through the open side window, shot at 40 degrees angle more than 6 kilometres away, from a military shooting range.

(It was a low caliber bullet, but I can't remember exactly what weapon it was.)
With all due respect, I don't really buy that narrative.

People often mistake critical thinking skills with close-mindedness. Just because someone uses thought and reason to reject an idea doesn't mean they are close-minded. Not all ideas deserve acceptance. I'm as open-minded as it gets, but if you tell me that vaccines cause autism then you will go down several notches in my book. (Ironically, there are many anti-vax people in the Bay Area!)

I don't know about Oviedo specifically (maybe it's a liberal haven in the middle of a conservative sea, like Austin TX), but I've known several Floridans from the more conservative parts of the state, and they were either naive and gullible as hell, or actually close-minded. I don't say that to stereotype the entire state, but it's worth remembering that conservatism is about the preservation of the status quo, and by definition it's not nearly as accepting of new (and valid) ideas and perspectives as liberalism is. That's not meant to be a value judgment, but rather a descriptive statement.
>Curious to hear more on this. Yahoo! was a disaster before she came in, she tried some things to turn it around, it didn't work.

The typical (generalized) setup is paths -> inodes (called "refers to data" or ""something"" in my other comments to avoid using the weird terminology we've somehow adapted for naming file system things) and inodes -> actual data on the disk. Whether you actually have that setup on disk is up to the fs format, but regardless of the format it is typically useful (and as you note, generic file system interfaces like the one in linux do require this) to have this extra indirection when tracking things on the software side (ie: not necessarily the storage side, though many file systems do have this type of indirection because it is also useful on the storage side).

> Your hypothetical driver would need to keep a double-mapping: from inodes to paths, and then from paths to whatever else.

As I've noted in another comment, inodes (`struct inode` in linux) typically contain a lot of information. No additional mapping would be required.

How to retrieve geospatial items near a specified point in Ruby using Redis
Wait until your son is interested. Very very very few children are interested in programming at age seven. Something that most children enjoy at that age is sitting on a parent's lap while the parent shares what they are doing with the child with a focus on sharing rather than on the thing they are doing.

My observation based on limited anecdotal evidence is that an interest in video games does not correlate to an interest in programming among children (or adults). Video games seem like fun to a lot of people and programming only seems like fun to a very few people.

Good luck.
Windows has a similarly disastrous situation where most tools and APIs follow MAX_PATH - which is defined to be 260 chars. But that doesn't affect the actual filesystem or syscall interface, just common APIs and tools. This makes it impossible to delete files from windows explorer for example.

If you want to fix this you basically have to bypass it by using "\\?\" on the front of the full path. The situation gets messy when you're trying to write an installer with node packages especially.

It simplifies implementations. For example, typically you need to be able to store paths in a consecutive area of memory or storage. Knowing that paths don't exceed a certain size means you can know that a particular allocation strategy (like static allocation, for a simple example) will be sufficient.
The point is, which you missed, that Wikileaks is all we've got. So far.

Can an hunter ride share the pacifica out to the forest with his/her hunting gear? How about bicyclists? People with kids know about activity shuffling... I am not sure that sharing will work for my families schedule.

Easy: many households now have two (or more cars), but self-driving cars will allow many of them to reduce to a single car. One people carrier for family outings, on-demand robot taxis for commutes and quick errands. Maybe not a total revolution, but a 50% reduction in household car ownership would be a pretty big deal (it'd make neighbourhood parking a lot easier for a start).
