They clearly have different objectives. Uber wants to be a huge multinational company, whereas Lyft can only hope to win the US market.

In other words, even Lyft's best case scenario would be a huge step down for Uber.

Great talk by DJB.

IMO he couldn't give a convincing answer to the guy who asked about LuaJIT author being out of a job. But there's a clear answer. JIT authors are not out of job not because optimizing compilers are not dead, but because they're writing compilers, their distinguishing ability is writing "pre-compiled" code.

You might say, "well a JIT author sped up your code's execution so he/she is writing an optimizing compiler". Well you have to realize that, traditionally, JIT authors don't just translate the code into object code, they also apply these things called "compiler optimizations". The point is that if they didn't do that, and simply produced a faithful translation of the code, they would still make the code faster because of pre-compilation (and if they enabled the "compiler optimizations", the code wouldn't run significantly faster than the simply pre-compiled code).

Regardless of whether I agree with it or not, "Optimizing compilers are dead" is not the same as saying "JIT authors will be out of business". (Even compiler writers won't be out of business).
I went with .io because it is short and sort of quirkily relevant to my area, and had my first name still available.
I've attended way too much meetings to actually support the claim. When I read Parkinson's Law (which I can recommend to everyone alongside the Peter's Principle) I couldn't agree more on that one.
Nice. Is there anything like this for simulating gas? I want to make a 2D simulation of an internal combustion engine.
Interesting article. Open-Source has been an enabler in a world that (yet) depends too much on big corporate products. Let's see where such a trend in india takes us and how the market will adapt.
DMT would probably be the easiest. It's only three steps from tryptophan, and I believe ask the enzymes are pretty simple.
It means that for those zones, they explicitly put the IPs of the edge servers in their resolver (Unbound) configuration, so that lookups of names in those zones don't have to go the root servers and then the TLD (like .com) servers, only to find out that the authority (the edge servers in their design) are in the next rack. Instead they will go directly to those edges. This gives them "Addtionally, public zones are completely resolvable within our network without needing to communicate with our external providers. This means any service that needs to look up api.github.com can do so without needing to rely on external network connectivity."
> A 50KB increase (which wouldn't be much for an optimised SHA-3) would raise questions.

Can you elaborate on that? That's orders of magnitude bigger than a naive implementation, and wouldn't fit in L1 cache either.

Prefix MAC doesn't mean prefix the MAC. It means make a MAC by prefixing a key and concatenating that onto the data to be tagged. Basically what KMAC does: H(K+pad||message). The truncated hash functions aren't vulnerable to length extension attacks, so using SHA2-512/256 is faster than HMAC with no loss in security AFAIK.

Of course that "no loss in security" bit depends on a proper implementation. There are plenty of good library implementations of HMAC out there, and if you want a high speed MAC there's always Poly1305. But if all you have is SHA2 and don't need to interoperate with systems using HMAC, then this is a reasonably good way to go about it. It's certainly simpler than implementing HMAC on your own.
Yes, I agree. Technically, with text classification/image recognition we can block all forms of ads, but you risk throwing out the baby with the bath water, and from my own experience, these 'plug' ads are not so repugnant, can even add an element of surprise to the content sometimes.

My point is that with adblocking tools being adopted by more users, ad platforms will perhaps begin to use this new format.
In my experience most SMB's are obsessed with costs, often to their own detriment.
I think the problem is that you are not doing any value-add, or refinement. If you were somehow enhancing the gas, at a loss, then the example isn't so ridiculous.
And if they reward themselves too much, the blockchain is forked again?
It's a small win on delta V, a small win on gravity losses, and a small win on Isp (due to atmospheric pressure). The delta V and Isp wins are exponentially related to stage mass fraction so they actually become very big wins.
"Software as Experience" is a nice way to describe Apple's business model.

Hardware spec wise, the price of a Macbook is probably double that of a regular laptop with equivalent specs (CPU, Memory, GPU, Disk, etc). But people buy those Macs for the experience; not just the specs.
I use .de for my personal site, but I had it for ages now. If I had something international, I'd take the one where a cool name is still available.
> it's completely irrational to fear the things out of your control.

Fear is the foreknowledge of (or of the risk of) something unpleasant happening to you. Foreknowledge of our inevitable death, over which we have no control (sure, we can try to prolong life a bit, or end it early, but the ultimate result is the same), induces fear, ranging from anxiety to terror, in large numbers of people - perhaps even the majority.

To me, it's irrational to fear events that are highly improbable, but in view of our survival instinct as humans, it's quite rational to fear something horrible that is absolutely going to happen to you, and there's nothing you can do about it - for example, being scheduled for judicial execution the next day.

ended up in a bubble?

Yes they did. They know it. And they don't really give a fuck.

After the election they did some public navel gazing about what went wrong. To prove they were serious, there was even an editorial about The Future of the Times.

So I wrote to Ms Spayd. I challenged her, at the next meeting of journalists and editors, to say something like: "show of hands, who voted for Donald Trump for president".

My contention is that the result would be zero. Nada. Zilch. Even if they did vote for Trump, they wouldn't be dumb enough to admit it publicly to a room full of their colleagues.

So how can the Times ever begin to understand the 46% of the country who are the deplorables who voted for Trump?

They can't, and they don't want to.

Or, maybe, Ms. Spayd actually did what I suggested. And the powers that be decided that she just wasn't a good fit for them anymore. And that's why she was shown the door. :)
For context, this is part of sweeping cuts to NYT editorial staff:

I'm at the same company for 10 year and my actual job description had evolved somewhat like this way:
Cartographer > Database admin > Data scientist > Develloper > ...

Because I felt like moving I talked to my boss and he agreed I start a part-time phd in the company. So chances are high that I'll stick around a few more years to achieve that. If after that a company is dumb enough to reject my CV based on a "to long in same company metric" that will be their problem, not mine...

PS: In the long run I think we agree. The problem is that there is no absolute metric or Machine learning trickery to evaluate experience and value of an employee. Company that believe in or sell such metrics are the main problem IMHO.
That pilot is an artist. Such a narrow gear stance on such a huge wingspan and he lands it perfectly. Wonder how many times it went wrong versus how many times it worked.
Well, I wouldn't even bring it up, because the UTF-8 decoding process by definition cannot produce code points in the surrogate pair range, as those are illegal to encode in UTF-8. But if I must, I might talk about the "bit pattern" and the integral value that results from interpreting it. I certainly wouldn't talk about code points resulting from a UTF-8 decode.

Because doing stuff from the tops of mountains is very difficult. The logistical complexity and cost of doing something from the top of a mountain swamp out the comparatively small advantages.

Also, the best places to launch from are near the equator where there is a large body of water Eastward. And there are very few mountains in such spots.

It's not a creole: it's a creolised language. There is a difference: a creole is a language descended from a pidgin (and thus has increased in complexity), whereas a creolised language is one that has drastically simplified/regularised due to contact. These are two different phenomena.

Lessons from 'The Power Broker'
Maybe you can guess some hand-picked examples, but that's it. Your analysis of 病 is incorrect. It's a phono-semantic compound of 疒 (sickness) and 丙 (pronounced "bing"). From this you can deduce that 病 is pronounced similar to "bing" (or used to, in ancient Chinese) and has sickness-related meaning.

Some characters actually do combine the meanings of several radicals, for example 孝 is a child carrying an elder on their back or something; it means "filial piety" (respect for elders). But there are not that many of them, and you have to know the final meaning anyway, otherwise it's hard to guess.
I'm curious how up to date those books are with the latest version of Play/Slick, given how fast conventions move in those projects. The Play book seems to be from 2015, that sounds quite outdated.

This is pretty cool but to be honest I don't expect it to be very advantageous.

The big advantage of airlaunch is the Isp improvement from launching at altitude. Since the rocket equation is exponential with respect to the ratio of delta V and Isp improving Isp even a little has big effects, and reducing delta V even a little does too.

But the big advantage of ordinary vertical launch rockets is that it's fairly straightforward to just make them bigger. The Saturn V was able to launch Skylab with a 6.6 meter diameter. And rockets could easily be scaled up to launch even larger diameter payloads. That's pretty difficult with something like Stratolaunch. Even with basically the largest aircraft ever made it still has a pretty small payload mass and fairing size.

One other cool thing about stratolaunch is that it has the ability to launch out of a lot more locations since it doesn't depend on a launch pad and tower. However, I suspect that's not going to be of huge importance.

I'd like to see what they can do with this technology but I suspect it'll be underwhelming.
I have a domain where the extension is the last two letters of my last name, like mill.er. It also gives me a pretty cool mail address, e.g. nick@mill.er.
Transhumanism can be viewed as a fusion of what already is given. It is a mere combination of two systems, artificial and natural, that might as well have evolved similar to a symbiontic relationship. Before the actual enchancement, we will have a phase of mingling technology like we do naturally today, extending knowledge beyond our own entity, sharing information and boosting awareness of critcal tasks through the world wide web. Then there will be enchancement. If there is manipulation through it, ethical or not, the world needs to be influenced before we reach critical mass as a species and by our byproducts. Else there won't be no need to ask such questions much longer anyway.

This is my cue for a Tolstoy quote:

> “I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives.”
This is why I love software development. No stupid "engineering licenses". I think software just is progressing so fast there's not enough time for the useless regulatory bodies to catch up. That and the fact that failure is a lot easier to fix in software.

In the linked slides, DJB talks about a language for communication with the compiler, separating optimizations from specification. This reminded me of VPRI's "Meaning separated from optimization" [1] principle. Does anyone know what became of that line of thinking? Is this idea making it's way into Ohm? I remember reading a post/paper about optimizing Nile/Gezira to better exploit the CPU cache (and the struggle to use SIMD), but can't seem to find it now.

The 'Chinese' situation is more complicated than that, and partly because the term typically translated as 'dialect' is more aptly translated as 'topolect' (the language of an area). While the Chinese government's language policies are shitty, fāngyán/topolect is, if anything a much more neutral term than 'dialect', which as a whole lot of extra baggage.
There are commercial static analysis solutions that are free for open source projects.

The idea of running static analysis on the Linux kernel is not new.

e.g: http://www.coverity.com/library/pdf/linux_report.pdf

However it can be seen as an opportunity to improve clang-tidy to produce fewer false positives. I've used the clang static analyzer in some of my projects and it was very useful, e.g: clang-modernize (now part of clang-tidy) is great.

>> Only because it's new and relatively unsaturated

Depends how long you've been listening to podcasts. There are lots of shows I listened to regularly for 3-5 years that I've completely stopped listening to because of the sheer volume of advertising (plus the fact that every week/day/episode the advertising is exactly the same). All TWiT Network shows for example are unsubscribed for me despite listening to about 10 of them and not missing an episode for years. So, in some older shows, saturation has definitely been reached. I think a lot of it is to do with necessary spending.

Podcasts are so simple to make yet people put together networks that have these high-end studios and camera systems when all they really needed was some guests, a few $100 mics and Skype.

Or dart and flutter - all 4 being supposed first class citizens at Google.

My personal philosophy has been to solve/implement the issue at hand using a language that I consider to have "native" proficiency. Because, the list of languages propping up claiming to be the next best thing is large:
1. Kotlin
2. Go
3. Dart/flutter
4. Rust
5. Swift
6. Scala
7. Haskell
8. F#

The advent of llvm has drastically cut down the time to market for new languages. I'm certain a few more will get added to this list soon, so just get the job done following best practices and without incurring technical debt. This will make your work language proof

Japanese people live in abject fear of terrorism outside Japan. There have been a few attacks in southeast Asia against venues that Japanese frequent and, owning that the country is extremely safe, it has been completely blown out of proportion.

I have a Japanese friend that has been road-tripping Europe for some time in his vacations and has been unable to convince any (Japanese) friend to go with him. In the last one, he was almost coming with a guy, but at the last moment, that guys mother convinced him to cancel the trip, and this was before the Paris attacks.
Easiest way just go on Twitter and tweet support. You'll get a response asap. Second way look at all the emails you've ever received from uber and look for a account Id, like a 16 character code. Its not published, look at the links or the reply to address. I had one on a old PW reset. That's your account Id. Forward that message and state the Id to support and tell then you were hacked.

Edit: FYI check out

https://gimletmedia.com/episode/91-the-russian-passenger/

Its a podcast where they talk about uber account hacking. Tldr: anytime there's a hack and passwords are released. Hackers will try that email and PW on uber and if you use common passwords your toast.

Best bet is ask for help on twitter, its public they'll answer.

Second edit:
Call your credit card company and tell them to deny all uber charges if they can. Most likely its best to get a new card just to be safe.he

I think that does facebook a pretty severe disservice. Facebook was, in many ways, the anti-myspace at a time when that was a very welcome development. The lack of profile skinning, the real name policy, and by extension the reflection of an offline network (vs the band spam of myspace) made it a significantly different offering.

I'd go so far as to say that the difference is what allowed them to coexist with myspace for so long. It's not as though they launched and then myspace promptly fell over. The two were side by side for years, the same way FB and snapchat are/were.

Compared to that, the IG stories feature is a much more direct imitation. The geofilter and text implementation are so similar that, to anyone but a power user, a screenshot of a post from each would be indistinguishable.

With that said, I can't say I'm mad to see snapchat in decline. They put pepsi ads between videos of people I care about. Straight to the dumpster with that.
