From what I saw it's part of the company culture. Managers were there late so of course their subordinates didn't want to leave and be seen as not working as hard.

Also there's no concept of overtime with salaried fulltime employees. You might work 100 hours in a week and you're still taking home the same paycheck as if you worked 40 hours. That's just the way corporate America works.
> The best languages to take advantage of chips that aren't compute-limited*

FPGAs may or may not deserve that distinction, depending on your point of view.. but even if you concede that, they're still heavily bandwidth limited. An SDRAM interface takes up quite a bit of floor space, especially if you want more than one FIFO to move data with -- and even then, you're still standing behind relatively slow memory interface. There's SRAM on newer chips, but it's still too paltry an amount to really do anything close to general purpose computing on.. especially with the languages you've mentioned.

> why Moore's law no longer works

Moore's law no longer works because we hit 4GHz in silicon, there's nowhere to go but sidways now, and that's true whether you're in dedicated or reconfigurable chips.
I'm confused by these two statements:

"as close to our actual costs as possible."

"but the steady income is really what Berkeley property is good for"

Wouldn't 'as close to costs as possible' be exactly what it costs to maintain the property (insurance, maintenance / upgradtes, rates, etc) thereby eating all the steady income.
"What students do to this city"

How short sighted, without the school the whole Silicon Valley thing might have happened somewhere else and property values wouldn't be nearly as high.

I wasn't saying that. I was just pointing out why this might be a miscommunication of good intent rather than a malicious statement, which is the subtext of the title of the post and the accusation in the actual tweet.

I personally think that, since English is an international language, Western native English speakers (myself included) should learn to forgive a certain degree of linguistic foreignness when talking to English speakers in general. Many English speakers have a perfectly good grasp of English for professional work, including support problem solving, so they are fluent enough to be competent and polite even if they might miss social nuances in casual or personal settings.

Actually the projection is correct, but the camera is not exactly at the center of projection, so it appears that the lines are bent across the monitor edges. However, if you place your head at the exact center of projection, they look correct. I'm actually doing three separate projections, instead of just stretching one image across three displays. The GoPro field of view was not able to capture everything, so I had to pull it back a bit, and so its not perfect. A spherical camera would have done a better job here.

Thank you so much for Overleaf, as a new user, its great!

I really like how easy it is to experiment with the LaTeX formatting (something I wasnt super familiar with) and immediately see the output.

I had someone send me their resume template on overleaf and it was super easy to get a similar product with my personal touch.

The only feedback I would have is it was a little awkward to do folders within folders (this was a few months ago) and I had to ken the "hey put a path separator in the name" before I got it.
Here is a summary of basically exactly what you're talking about, happening just a few miles away from Berkeley:

All they asked me for was a similar experience, not if I had broken the law. The example and question were based on their Core Value of 'Persistent Confrontation' which basically was spun to mean 'don't stop if you know you're right' but I took actually meant 'don't reevaluate your position in the face of new information'.

> Successful, popular concurrent platforms like Erlang/OTP, Nginx, and node.js, eschew threads in favor a single-threaded, async/non-blocking code model.

Erlang, the language, is threading model agnostic, but the main implementation has been, by default, M:N threaded on systems with multiple logical processors since, AFAICT, the R12B release in 2008. So characterizing it as single threaded is inaccurate.
That is exactly what I meant.
I have been noticing more and more people using "female" as opposed to "woman". (They never seem to substitute "male" for men.) Thank you for articulating this.

My point exactly. Subjective.
I'm not making that assumption. The only assumption I'm making is that the parent is a male, which is based on Hacker News demographic and the type of person who usually makes these arguments.
Still no official WebVR support? Or was it added in a previous version already? I know it was postponed a couple of times..
Having sat through it (but not having experience in law) I don't believe it would.

You miss the point of my comment. When facebook says "now you can manage the privacy defaults of your posts" many people feel relief and gratitude that they did that. Many of us don't even realize how ridiculous that is. It's like serfs thanking their feudal lords for doing something in a one-size-fits-all way they could have easily done themselves if the platform had been decentralized.

The same thing with the App Stores and other things. So thankful that our latest version wasn't rejected for competing with Twitter or Apple or whatever. Yes, they built it. But that's phase 1. It's way better when it's an open source platform and no one gatekeeper to deal with.

Are you grateful you can wear a blue shirt? Or that now finally they'll play your song on a radio?

It's not about hostility towards github or anyone in particular. It's just pointing out (using the vernacular many geeks use to exaggerate a point) the ridiculousness of "we finally let you have sub groups" and "ok but please please add this feature".

Bitcoin will decentralize money and you won't be grateful that a bank lets you pay someone without a problem.

The web decentralized publishing and you aren't begging someone to please publish your story with a video so your friends can read it. It's just a market.

Same here. Centralization in social holding back progress by a lot, and preventing people from getting things done in the real world, and leads to business models to suck people into spending more time posting cat videos and commenting on politics and exacerbates their echo chambers until they hate each other, because they think they only have two choices for President etc etc. And what's the next big thing? VR. Suck them into even more virtual reality and monetize their time. Well, I could be a little mad -- not at the players but the rules of the game. Decentralize. Change the rules.

As a longtime resident of a college town, I have no trouble both appreciating the value of having a University (which I went to) in town, and finding the students themselves to often be an irritance. I'm sure I was loud, obnoxious, and generally disrespectful of other people when I was a student too, but that doesn't make it "inexplicable" to dislike such behavior now.

I don't think we should punish them through housing policy though :-).
Even worse: he interrupted her talking about research results and started with "Actually, what it shows..."
There was an engineer (I think she was the woman at Google who started the spreadsheet about comparing salaries, but not sure) who said something along the lines of "If you have a 'Chief Diversity Officer', you're doing it wrong." Basically the argument was that it's should be everyone's responsibility, from CEO on down, to ensure that you're recruiting people from varied backgrounds, and that everyone is treated with respect. A Chief Diversity Officer basically seems more like a PR job than something that will actually change internal culture.

Now, granted, Uber obviously was failing on their own in terms of having a respectful culture, so not sure what else to recommend, but I agree, the recommendations in this report seem a lot more to do with optics than anything else.

It only took me a few days, maybe 20 hours total? ... I started this back in January but it took me a while to capture the videos and write it up since I've been reworking the physical frame to make the monitors fit closer.

1/4 of the time was spent running GDB trying to find the memory locations and work out the encoding scheme.

1/4 of the time was spent getting familiar with DOSBox, building on Ubuntu, and syncing the data around via UDP.

1/4 of the time was spent trying to automate the start up so I didn't need to press a hundred keys manually to configure all the displays each time I restarted it.

1/4 of the remaining time was capturing nice videos and writing it all up :)

I've done hacks like this before ... back in 2000 I worked on the team that built ARQuake but we had source code http://www.tinmith.net/arquake/

My ex-wife is still recovering from her second liver transplant. The first one was when she was 20, due to a genetic disease that causes sudden liver failure around that age. That time, she went from ER to transplant to recovery in just a few days, because of how quickly she became sick enough to move to the top of the list.

They never told her that liver transplants are pretty much always temporary, at least with the immuno-suppressant drugs that were available most of the past 20ish years. Even with drugs, most people's bodies are constantly attacking the foreign liver and damaging it beyond its ability to repair itself. 20 years is a pretty good run; hers lasted 22.

This time around, she was in the hospital for two months (seemed much longer) while they tried to keep her alive. She went through all the symptoms you mentioned. Towards the end she suffered full-on dementia from the toxins in her brain. After two months of suffering, she lost her will to live, and told me and her family that she was giving up. I was sure she'd be gone by the end of the week, but that night the miracle happened; a compatible liver was available and she was at the top of the list. The next day, after a very long surgery (working around 22 years of scar tissue from the first transplant) she got a healthy new liver.

She remained in the hospital two more months, mostly in rehab, while her brain returned to normal (mostly) and she learned to walk again. It took months after going home for her to be strong enough to fully care for herself.

Unfortunately, the decades of drugs and months of liver failure pushed her kidneys past their limit. She's not on dialysis yet, but most likely she will need a transplant before the year is up. It's just a matter of time, and she's trying to find a living donor. If she can find one, she can get the transplant before she gets too sick again, which will make recovery much easier.

Organ transplants are absolute miracles of modern medicine, but we need artificial organs. Whether they're completely mechanical, natural organs grown artificially, or custom gene-spliced organs to prevent rejection, we need them. There aren't enough organs available now to meet the need, and the patients who get them have to go through hell first. And the ones who don't, don't survive at all.
I find anything but plain text irritating when writing (I dislike attempts to merge the creative process of writing with the only peripherally related creative processes of orthography, layout and printing).

I've lived in downtown berkeley for five years and pay 1100 per month for a studio apartment.

For those arguing that the city could zone and facilitate building affordable non subsidized housing, where exactly would it be built?

There isn't an abundance of empty lots AFAIK and it seems enormous highrises would have to be built in large numbers to make any dent in having prices come down.

I would love more options but without even mildly specific suggestions articles like these seem to lack any pragmatism.
Was there a full screen mode that didn't show the instruments? That would be nice for the side monitors. As much as I played it, I don't remember if that was an option.
A lot of it has moved to SFTP/SCP the last few years.
Ah of course! Thanks for that explanation. It already looked way closer to correct than most games can manage as well.

Man I'd love to try this. I played a lot of Flight Simulator 5.1 back in the day, which actually included the whole Flight Simulator 4 world as well - you could choose to load it in from one of the menus. The untextured terrain was so much harder to read though!
Interesting. But in both these cases (yours and @arkadiyt's) these vulnerabilities only affect GET requests right? In which case—though we would love to lock down GET requests, to prevent DOS attacks, and because GET routes _might_ in some cases modify state—the impact is pretty limited.

I (one of the co-authors of the post) would also characterize our approach as "skating to where the puck will be". I'm sure that browsers will patch these bugs, the Edge one was fixed quickly. Our product only nominally supports the latest - 1 versions of Chrome and Safari. This is of course a luxury not available to all developers.

It depends how risky. I agree you can't afford to lose the proverbial shirt. You can't completely avoid risk. Can't bonds lose a lot of value if interest rates rise for example?

Yes, but then you get people that fail to understand that CSRF only applies to a browser, and CORS only affects a user agent that implements a Same Origin Policy. And they fail to protect their resources otherwise.

They add CORS support to their server resources and get the false assumption that their resources can only ever be retrieved from a web page under their origin or an origin they have trusted (via CORS). They believe that this also protects them from malicious users making requests from outside of a browser (eg. via curl).

CORS is not security, it is loosening of security (namely SOP).

The number of times that I have had someone ask "why can someone access the endpoint via curl? I thought this was protected by CORS" makes me sad.
This should be possible with any emulator for old school systems, like 286 with DOS, C64, Atari, etc. All you need is the ability in the game to "look left" and "look right" somehow, and tune the field of view for correct projection. If the game can't do that, then it might not be possible.

Also, the hacks in the blog post won't work as well for anything newer than DOS, like Windows games, since there is an OS in the way and writing over memory locations gets a lot harder. You would need to approach the problem differently.

> "Females" connotes reproductive capacity

Almost all bees are females.

Almost all of those lack reproductive capacity.

"Female", either as noun or an adjective, neither denotes nor connotes reproductive capacity, though it may connote reproductive role (though even then, only as an adjective modifying a species or some similar classification, because reproductive roles vary.)

It's use as a noun for a human is seen by some as divisive (compared to an adjective modifying "person") or dehumanizing (compared to "woman or girl"); OTOH, it is seen by others as less awkward than either of those constructions and more accurate when the intebt is not age-specific (thus, making neither "woman" nor "girl" alone appropriate) than any similarly-concise expression.
Yes, you can hide the instruments. But then it changes the projection and then nothing lines up across the displays. You need to hide the instruments on all or none of the displays.
I've never seen it before.

You can trust the browser itself (not application code, but the native code) to issue the appropriate headers. If you could find a way of compromising that, it would be a vulnerability wayyy beyond the scope of our protection.

(Caveat: browsers may not implement the specs completely/bug-free yet, as we cover in our post. But we fully expect they will, and in the meantime our module supports fallbacks. This approach is "skating to where the puck will be".)

Non-browser clients can spoof these headers, but the risk then is DOS, not clients leveraging the user's credentials—which is the primary focus of CSRF protection. It's nice that our method can prevent browser-based DOS attacks, but that's by no means complete DOS protection.

Not everyone on the Internet is an Anglophone, nor does every piece of software store and render Unicode correctly.

Many languages use different delimiters, and their keyboards might be set up accordingly.

Eg, in French one uses ‹single› or «double guillemets», and CJK languages use 《more angle brackets》 or 「corner brackets」.

I'm not familiar with question marks being used that way, but let's give people the benefit of the doubt. ;-)
