I'd like to build something that attaches cryptocurrency payments to API calls, basically a 402 payment required implemented with the Lightning Network.

With such a system in place, pulling updates could be pinned to a particular API call, with a particular payment address, which itself was attached to a particular data store. In theory, as long as you had access to the wallet that did the build before, you'd be able to do the same build at a later date.

I'm greatly simplifying this here, but my conclusion after getting a crypto payment OpenStack instance launcher PoC working was that applying crypto payments to deployment methods basically provided a lightweight federated layer that allowed logically linking processes, similar to what you would get with a Zapier/Apigee/IFTTT knockoff. Applied to microservice architectures it would allow deployments to be both trustworthy and repeatable at later dates.
Needs to be a fast mode of transport to keep crew duty hours down, so ground vehicles are out. I was once on a plane at Dublin airport that had to wait for a few minutes behind a small jet that turned out to be the RyanAir (UK and Ireland low cost carrier) company LearJet which they use for positioning flight crews in an emergency or time sensitive situation. Surely United should have chartered a small jet to get crew there, should be doable pretty quickly?
How to Remove DRM from iTunes Music
Could you please explain why and how the Rust compiler is better than compilers for other languages? After all, every language compiles down to machine code/assembly. So, the reason that one language is "better" than the other has to do with the fact that the compiler for one language is "better" than another.
Law firms arent coke or pepsi. They generally dont care about public opinion. Only client opinion matters. What they dont want to see is thier name being used for criminal activity. But being seen as dark and scary isnt always a bad thing (see Wolfram & Heart).
No, because people typically either install nestcam outdoors or set it to turn it on when they are not at home. Also, I suppose very few people install Nestcams in the bedroom/bathroom/closet.
I've never heard Pivot before. Googler has been around for ages.
You can't "improve" on the traditional teachings. You can distort them in a modern way and play with these distortions, but this doesn't cover up the fact that there was something there before you decided to "improve" upon it.

The neo-modernists tend to some Judeo-Christian notion of doing good works as a transcendental connection to God. Essentially, the protestants believe that God is going to tell you what to do, on a personal level. You are somehow a mouthpiece for the will of god.

So act like it.

The idea is that God made the world with "some assembly required". So now, he is going to get personally involved in the lives of everybody and make sure that everyone understands that the world---which supposedly was made according to the orders of the will of God---now needs to be cleaned up by coordinating the efforts of all nations...

...who are going to make it clear what YOUR role is going to be, "willing servant of God" a.k.a. spiritual janitor

This argument isn't fooling anyone. You can't ask people to clean up the spiritual lives of others. That would be protestant reformation-level social rot. It is the argument of a busybody. Injecting a crisis mentality of "old things need to be made new" does nothing more than stir up confusion.

Consider the library: we were told that by adding noise-makers (desktop computers) to libraries, libraries would be improved

Adding noise-makers to libraries gave young people the idea that bringing their own noise-makers (cell phones) into libraries would be a good idea. So they started doing that.

Now young people are just going into libraries and making noise. They don't care about the library. They want to move in and assert their space and right to make noise.

The "improvement" to the library merely turned the library into a zoo. Spreading traditional teachings to those who are not prepared to hear them is simply not a good idea, and there is nothing modernism can do about it. There is no way to improve upon the old teachings because the old teachings are not what you think. They are not pieces of a puzzle that can be translated into some modernist narrative of restoration and redemption.
I've known him personally, it was clear he'd end up like his hero Gordon Gekko since high school. The saddest part is that he didn't need to, hopefully since he's still young he can redeem him self.
I see that I am mistaken: The temperature is a function of the particles energy, not its speed. The energy at light speed is infinite, so that doesn't really pose a temperature limit.

There does however seem to be an quite widely assumed maximum temperature: the Planck temperature of about 1.417×10^32 Kelvin.
So isn't the memory model more to do with the compiler or operating system rather than the programming language? Do think it's possible to write a C compiler that checks for use after free, double free, buffer overflows, index out-of-bound issues, etc.?

Surely if one programming language can do it, another can?
A lot of things about Pivotal inspire strong reactions, pro and contra. I don't see why a demonym should be any different.

On his shoulder, no doubt! Glad to have shared some great literary journalism. Seeing other people enjoy something I find of high quality is encouraging to say the least.
> but I've met a dozen or so diagnosed autistic children and more than a few of them are just assholes or have parents looking for an easy way to not discipline their children.

Yes and same with ADHD, gluten intolerance and other 'diseases' that have gone up in the past 20 years while your annoying, anti social, always crying and shouting, only likes sugar child is just the result of lazy parenting and a general lack of tolerance to suffering at large.
Agree that making keywords look like functions is weird and bad, but I also loathe languages that insist on using special chars for things that are better expressed with words. C# is my daily driver and I like how it calls pass-by-reference stuff "ref". And likewise, while I can see the appeal of making namespace and member lookups distinct, I've never liked the readability of C++ :: syntax, and I learned C++ fairly early on in my career.

Here is a good overview of how Rust is by design fixing some problems which other languages don't.

Rust is "fast" because it runs close to the bare metal, like C or C++. It doesn't feature garbage collection, many of which stop the world to clear memory.

Other non-garbage collected languages (ie those with manual memory management) lack Rust's memory safety semantics and are this subject to segfaults, buffer overflow exploits, etc. Rust is extremely "safe" since it prevents these types of errors at compile time.
Tinder has a company hackathon, where the grand prize is getting the feature on the product roadmap?

What an extravagant prize.
could you be specific about the "most of the comments"? Most of what I see isn't even relevant to the technical on-the-ground details about ISPs. Most comments are just about the idea of whether ISPs that have monopoly/oligopoly status will be permitted to violate net neutrality. What of "what goes on in the ISP level" that is even insightful to bring up?
It has to pay the bills. There is money to be made from the Echo Look so it gets developed first. For things that will help society but aren't profitable we will have to look to other funding sources.

I'm supposed to be one of the "younger" millenials, but reading the article, I felt I related more to the "older" millenials.

Maybe the whole 'millenial' thing is overblown anyways?
I think I understand what you're trying to get at. But it assumes that the person's expertise is truly "aligned" with the subject matter.

I don't want to badger you with all of my thoughts on this, but, at the extreme, even if the author (was such an expert that they) knew who was performing these leaks and why--as opposed to giving speculation, which the author does state--we would also have to trust that they're giving their complete and honest account on the matter. So even in the case that they have perfection information, you must consider how much faith you want to put in their output. Note: I don't like the idea of will-nilly distrusting everything everyone says, but I do think it's worth pointing out possibilities that may exist for many situations.
Correct about the current state of SLAM. However the next wave for computer vision focused tracking and mapping is heavily based on ML - though there isn't a single combined system that gives robust SLAM/PTAM level results yet.
Disclaimer: I really know nothing about biology or genetics.

This is an area I find fascinating. One thing I've pondered is with merely a genome could you construct the organism it's from?

The first problem is creating a fertilized egg. Having that, it's not clear to me (again, as a layman) whether or not you could gestate that to an independent organism.

To put it in computing terms, imagine the genome as "source code" and the host (gestating) organism as, for lack of a better word, a "compiler". Now imagine that a lot of the complexity of life comes from these successive generations, which is to say that an organism isn't simply a function of its genome, it's essentially a function of every ancestor.

If you think about it, some organisms are born with some ingrained characteristics and behaviour. Humans have the moro reflex. Bear cubs manage to find way to their mother's milk when the mother is barely conscious. Some ducks are capable of swimming, eating and surviving from the day they're born.

How much of this is part of the genome and how much is "communicated" from mother to child in the womb?

Obviously only applies to a subset of animals. Birds, for example, are born in eggs and--unless I'm missing something--the only interaction between parent and egg once the egg is laid is incubation so it's easy to imagine that there is no "communication" in this phase.

But maybe this is what makes mammals (particularly primates) seemingly special? How much of what we do is hardwired or "software"?

So there have been two important developments in the last year or so. The first is hatching chicks without a shell [1]. The second is this and this is far more impressive.

If nothing else, this limits potential interactions between mother and unborn child. At least for sheep. I think this is a really important development.

Because that would sound like foreign terrorists are the concern. For this issue, the goal is to present the enemy as being government and anyone who supports government regulation of any sort.
It might be able to, but there are no guarantees. That is the real benefit of strong and expressive type systems: It can prove properties of the program at compile time. An equivalent program could be written in c, brainf*ck, or even a Turing machine, but it gets harder and harder to prove properties like memory safety the less structured the language.
I'm a top Writer on Medium for Music and Social Media. They are trying a pivot into a subscription service and solicited me for an article pitch. If you like the kind of work I do, I do it because I love it and I only hope that monetary rewards can be tangential to the rewards I get from my work. Yeah it's high minded but I got this far by myself in a lot of ways and I like to think I've earned my standing.

HN is, like it or not, a sketchpad for me when it comes to thoughts and ideas to test on a specific market. That's why my original comment went 80+ up.

Wise man once say, people read things and invest when they believe they can learn something. Trust is earned.
What companies are doing so?
Rust is based on LLVM just like Swift, Pony, Crystal, etc to compile to native code. Java uses bytecode which will need to translate to machine code in JVM.

Node.js, Java, Go use Garbage Collection for use case where programmers do not have to manage memory.
The 3-person office would be just about enough for one person. Get rid of the interior-facing windows. Make sure the walls and doors are sound-proof. Combine the three desks into one large surface that's big enough to actually work at. Get a beefy workstation, and a quad 27" monitor array. Make sure the lights for the office are on their own circuit, so they can't be turned on by anyone else on the floor. Bookcases.

Unfortunately, there really are enough laws that everyone is constantly breaking some. Selective enforcement can be used to shut up critics…
So why does C, for example, lack Rust's memory safety semantics? Is it something to do with the design of the language itself? Can Rust predict user input, whereas C cannot?

No need to let them run free. Those humans could work remotely, from a small pod of amniotic fluid, mounted to the side of a huge tower. They could live their lives in MMOs, which would seem absolutely realistic, if that was the only thing they ever experienced. I don't think it is realistic to use them as an energy source though, heat would be a waste product in an environment like that.
I've had this happen multiple times. Usually it's because it's missing the "/" at the end or some other small change in the URL. Their check is only looking for exact matches.
I've personally experience very tangible productivity gains once I got past the (very steep) learning curve.

The compiler will catch many errors that other languages consider logic errors; if your source code compiles, it tends to run as expected.

As for the disclosure: I'm a normal software programmer, and haven't written a single line of code for rust's compiler and tooling.
Not sure which C compilers you're referring to. If you mean Clang which is also based on LLVM.
https://clang.llvm.org/

Clang is a competitor to GCC.
What does it mean to "be explicit" about how to render a page, when the UA is, say, a screen-reader for a blind person? Or Siri? Or an even more novel client-type with no directly-applicable CSS rules? They want to do a completely different thing with the page than what you think of as "rendering" it. They might take some of your CSS as hints on how to do that job, but they're not obeying that CSS; they're inferring their own rule set for their own rendering algorithm from CSS.

Perhaps there needs to be a distinction made between "standard web browsers in Standards Mode"—programs that nominally "obey" CSS, and should be chastised for deviating from it—and all other clients, on which you can place no such expectation.

(But even then, it's perfectly within the rules of CSS to apply UA styles at the beginning of the cascade. Usually those are per-browser, but there's no reason there couldn't be per-document ones generated from heuristics. Want to turn them off? Use a CSS Reset.)
Governments, through the military. And... yes, they're companies.
There were a lot of other common consumer companies 10 years ago, too, like Sears. It's always easier in hindsight. I've been struggling with this problem in terms of picking my "blue chip" stocks to backtest -- my gains are impressive, but I doubt it was so obvious that these were blue chip stocks 10 years ago, or that these same blue chip stocks would be considered blue chips in 10 years.
Then perhaps you shouldn't have that picture in your profile at all and you won't run into that problem.

You could use LLVM to compile any language to LLVM IR, and then to machine code using a backend. Does that mean every language has the same properties as Rust?

If Node/Java/Go use GC (or VMs), then aren't they more safe than Rust?

pwnallthethings has also gone through great pains to walk through the evidence (much of it public) and analysis that informs their opinion of attribution.
Let's say you are using LLVM to compile a Rust program, and an "equivalent" C program. You can compile both of them down to IR, and then enforce type safety at the IR level. Doesn't that ensure that you can prove properties about the program at compile time?

Nice find. It looks like a snapshot from 2015/2016. Shame there isn't a Foursquare-like "check-in" app to report new vacancies (or new occupants) incl. pictures of signs so we can have a live map.

By the way, I've noticed increased turnover and empty storefronts in many little town centers and strip malls in NJ/NY state, which is bad for residents and local tax revenue. In my town, people are actually angry at property-owners who seem to have no qualms about leaving stores empty for many years and rebuffing people with entrepreneurial ideas. I always wondered how they benefit from this...
I did not mention compilers in my comment. Do you mean that if I use LLVM compile a C program then I get the same assurances as when I compile a Rust program?

I'm curious, what frameworks are people using TypeScript with? Is it mostly Angular or are people using it with others also?
Just curious, do you have an inside scoop on what value he's brought to Google and other companies?

In these types of situations where a lot of money is involved, I've noticed folks are pretty quick to vilify someone with little information aside from the heavily biased info that leaks into the news.

While $120MM in a vacuum does sound ridiculous, it's hard to know (or even put a price on) his true value without understanding his contributions in depth.

This criticism doesn't extend to you, but in general I've seen a lot of the same folks make snap judgements about someone's ability based on what they've read from news and then vehemently decry how job interviews (which yield far more information) aren't effective at judging someone's worth.

This strikes me as rather callous, or as well, something that only someone in a relatively secure and high-paying line of work (like software development) -- and of course, no kids to take care of -- could even begin have as a take on the situation

This is something I've been wondering about too. In 20 years, will we treat abandoned shopping malls the way we today treat abandoned industrial warehouses?
I agree. The whole process of raising and educating the next generation of society should be radically reimagined.

There are a lot of ideas on this and there have been for a long long time (look up philosopher John Dewey or Paulo Freire) but they still remain mostly on the fringe.
Groundbreaking innovations do not happen every day. Small, slow incremental change (repackaging old stuff) moves us forward as well.
> meant I'm sure as hell not inventing something new if it sets me up for civil liabilities.

And I'm arguing that not doing so might be a good thing. I shudder to think how we'd be off if other infrastructure disciplines took the same approach we take to develop software.

If you build something that people use in important infrastructure, prepare to be on the hook if it fails.
The GP comment mentioned Ruby, Python and JS which are not suitable for this kind of things.

Of course you can use some other compiled language instead of Rust, I think the choice boils down to productivity and ecosystem.

EDIT: where I said "some other compiled language" I should have really said "some other compiled and non-garbage-collected language"
That's not really the point, more that it was originally not an apples to apples comparison and therefore doesn't really tell us anything. I have no doubt that the statement is correct, it's whether or not that statement has any meaning. As another comment pointed out, even if you compared the hours, the computer still uses a few orders of magnitude more energy for a more accurate (although completely theoretical) comparison.
so what % of the margins on "subscription box" services comes from people forgetting / being too lazy to cancel? all of it? perishables and other time sensitive stuff notwithstanding, there is no reason getting something shipped monthly is going to be a better deal than buying in bulk. these people are obviously just trying to make a buck. they are full of shit if they say they are trying to create value, but they aren't really hurting anyone i guess. its mostly on the consumers for buying it.

Do you feel comfortable saying which company you worked at has that kind of office setup? It sounds like heaven to me.
Totally, I'm sure it's correct, and even if you were to bring the comparison in to line then the outcome is still "computer is watt hungry". The point is that the original statement, while correct, doesn't really say anything useful.
but your talking about something that doesn't spoil. why not just buy a ton once and be good for several years?
