Coffee lake is not the same as cannon lake. This chart is from 2015 and suggests the cannon lake would be released in early 2017.

I doubt we'll see cannon lake this year, since they released kaby lake early 2017...

>Would be interesting to know why this platform is not more widespread.

Yes, it would, and also interesting to know how much work is available using Smalltalk / Pharo these days. I looked at the success page, there seem to be some slick apps there (on a brief look).
Throwing in my two cents: a) the intent of the moderator is less important, in this specific instance, than the systematic and structural sexism which we know to be present. Who knows, perhaps the moderator was secretly grateful because they were unconscious of the impact of their behavior? Perhaps not. Outcome is a more useful measure than intent here.

b) In a perfect world, if the same thing was happening to a man, I would hope someone would speak up for him as well. Not only was the authors behavior an example of feminism in action, we could also say it was an act of human decency.
This is so true. I can think of a number of applications - where people choose to vacation, clothing. It also has interesting political ramifications

How did you come up with the radiuses?
Sort of. My understanding is that it means "declaring your (virtuous) opposition to <bad thing X>, regardless of whether <current topic Y> is actually an instance of X or whether Y is actually harmful."

On the right, it might be: murder is bad, therefore I oppose abortion.

On the left: gay marriage is good, and opposition to it is homophobia, therefore Brandon Eich should be fired.

When the link between X and Y is too specious, it implies the speaker's primary goal is to show virtue by opposing X, rather than any real concern they have about Y.

Edit -- Added a second, better link.
The $400M is a post-money valuation. The investor gave you a current valuation of $300M, and offered to add $100M for a post-money stake of 25%. Thus, 3333 new shares were created and sold to the investor for $100M.

Your slice of pie before the deal is (200/10000) * $300M = 6M

Your slice of pie after the deal is (200/13333) * $400M = 6M

Except that after the deal, your company has $100M more to spend, hopefully on investing in growing the business so that later on, you'll own 1.5% of much more than $400M.

This kind of thing is why management will sometimes try to steer employees away from discussions focused on percentages and toward ones focused on share prices. As an early employee who has been diluted a number of times, I certainly agree that it's more helpful to think in terms of my number of shares (which is unchanging) times a share price (announced at the time of the investment), rather than trying to compute my new percentage of the overall company value.

Oh, if that'd be true...

Our experiments with React took quite a lot of time (like, weeks) before we got things in shape. And then some more time before that shape wasn't a pear.

And if the backend is not in JS, server-side rendering is quite a mess.
I had 4Mb DSL once. It was okay, then water got into the line somewhere and I was moved to a different pair that could only manage 2Mb. Naturally the phone company couldn't GAF and I had no way to remedy the problem other than cable. The existing utilities should be forced to maintain a suitable quality of service.
I'm not sure that's particularly relevant to this thread; there are plenty of decisions that materially affect the value of your equity that you have no say in. That's true both in a startup and at a large tech company like Google where a significant part of your comp is in RSUs.

The point in the GP post that I was expanding upon,

> It's zero net gain at the point of dilution.

is focussing on the wrong instant in time.

You should be calculating the effect of the dilution on your exit event, when your equity actually becomes exchangeable for money.
I'd be interested in seeing an article if that was real. Otherwise the only place I've heard of that was the plot in one of the Jack Reacher novels.

He means all 3.

His "or" isn't misplaced, because it's a play on an existing phrase: "better, faster, cheaper - you only get to choose two." Meaning you cannot optimize on all 3 dimensions.

Here he is saying that Amazon expects you to excel at all 3, by providing a contrast to a known idiom that says you cannot.
No, but you can get very close using classes/objects. See https://eiriktsarpalis.wordpress.com/2017/03/20/why-oo-matte... and https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/general... for more details.
One thing to note is that competency as it's used here is often a stand-in for process - how much process a company uses around a particular feature.
I don't know your friend so I can't speak to directly to her specific behaviors, but I know a lot of people like your friend and I think it might be helpful for you if you considered her thoughts from a different perspective - Perhaps you may not be personally 'racist', and perhaps you don't feel 'racist', but there is enough objective science based evidence to conclude that we live in a society that highly favors whiteness over browness and blackness. And if you're a white person in a society that favors whiteness, you benefit from that favoritism. That benefit is what people are calling a system of 'white privilege' and 'systemic racism'. So as a person who benefits from these systems, and has never experienced what it's like to be on the other side of this system, it's possible (likely even) that you've unconsciously learned some behaviors that contribute to this system. So her words may not be an attack on you personally, it's just a very blunt way of acknowledging something that has been proven (scientifically) time and time again. White privilege exists, all white people benefit from it...

The last thing I want to say is that something can be racist even if there is no intent to be racist. The outcome is what matters. There are millions of perfectly nice people who don't intentionally do racist things that still end up contributing to racism because of subconscious bias that have been instilled in them by our society.

Just an example - http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/minorities-who-whiten-job-resumes-...

I doubt these companies are intentionally expressing bias towards minorities, but the outcome is a hiring process that requires them to 'mask' their identity, a burden that white people don't have to bear. And if you don't have to bear a burden carried by a large percentage of people unlike yourself, that's a privilege...
I count him as the interruptor simply because he started each "long question" through an interruption without allowing her to change course to accomodate.

You can see the contrast in behavior to all other panelists in the first hour. If he and any of the male panelists end up talking at the same time he always concedes immediately.
Or simply ask for the biological sex instead.

-> Possible answers: Male, Female, Intersex.

I find this way of asking being inclusive and in the same time simple to handle from a data/filtering standpoint.

Gender identification nowadays (vs. biological sex) can be used as a very creative and highly individual expression. And while that's is totally fine, it's not what I'd be interested in in the context of a CRM.
WebAssembly means closed source binaries all over again, and threatens our ability in all the metrics Stallman advocates.

Also, it probably means the end of the Web as we know it.

Browsers very likely should treat closed source like they treat our microphone or camera: don't give access unless the user consents.

But do allow it to run without consent if, and only if, the source code is public.
We use a pack-and-split approach -- files are packed first (as if it is building a big tar file first, although this is only conceptual) and then split into chunks using a variable-sized chunking algorithm. You can customize the chunk size but by default the average chunk size is 4MB so you won't be uploading too much small files.
Yes, in the example of ants and citronella, slower is better if you care about overall suffering. But faster is much better if you care about your suffering AND if you happen to quit the room before the jamming starts.
Startups also like options because they believe it creates an "ownership mentality" among its employees. I believe this is mostly true.

I think equity compensation is also a selection mechanism. If I'm running an early stage startup, I want everyone to have a stake in the game. Equity compensation attracts employees with that mindset. Conversely, if a potential employee would prefer all cash compensation to equity, that would be a big red flag to me.

One of the struggles of offering equity to employees is finding a mechanism that has no taxable value upon issue, benefits from capital gains, and is legally sound.

One option is to organize as an LLC and offer a profits interest. These can be issued with $0 taxable value and benefit from the upside of the company. They can vest, and once vested they can participate in the gains of the company (including distributed income, not just a sale). I believe these are inherently more fair to the employees because there is no golden handcuff. They don't need to be exercised and once they're vested, you can walk away with them. On the downside, they are a little more cumbersome to set up.
I've been asked today if I'd take equity instead of some cash. My answer was a polite no.

If I could work at the same time for ten startups then I would hedge the risk. Most would fail, one would succeed, it could be worth it. But I can work for only one startup so it's like betting on who would win 2018 NFL. There are better choices than others, still it's down to luck.
My favourite pet peeve is the lyrics wikia, which has some css embedded in a <noscript> tag that blocks out the lyrics and replaces it with a "sorry! This site requires javascript" message.
Thanks!

While qualitative, the radiuses are more directional than precise. The key thing with the outer radius is that it's usually outside one's country or even continent.
>> "This also doesn't make sense. Many of the backbones I am intimate with are among the largest in the world and yet have no trouble avoiding congestion through correct provisioning.

> And please provide a citation for its 1:1 to traffic ratio. There isn't a network in the world that isn't oversubscribed.The entire practice of "capacity management" is based on oversubscription.

This is getting a little ridiculous. Again a straw man. Where did I say 1:1 subscription ratios were provisioned. That doesn't mean you can't provision enough capacity to carry your peak load. Any network engineer would understand what I said. (And I'm happy to report I know what a top of rack switch looks like, thanks for the link.)

This seems to be something you're very passionate about, but you only seem to want NN on ISPs and don't want to consider NN on a wider context with an understanding of where things are going. I was interested in having that conversation because I have a background with it, if you don't understand that environment then you don't need to participate.
When a company gives you options instead of cash, they are making a bet with you that they can make a better return on the cash than you can. They are hoping they can convince you that cash_in_your_hand_now < value_of_shares_in_the_future, but in order for them to even consider making the bet, they have to expect that value_of_shares_in_the_future < cash_in_their_hand_now.

I don't get what you are trying to say. I clearly put "talking over people" into the category of informal social rules, not law.
Got it. This explanation makes sense to me.
I was able to register an account without a phone number using this method.
Right. An application can ask for what it wants (low accuracy is much faster and burns less battery since it doesn't start GPS) but there's no way for the user to say that an app can ONLY get low accuracy data.
There is no irony[1]. I never told people not to use waze, just pointed out the consequences of doing so at scale on existing political arrangements made in society.

1. Perhaps hypocrisy, is the word you really meant. Nobody knows what irony means anymore.

I wonder if there's a need for a malware tear down service; submit a JSON request with the binary defined as part of the request, a spot instance spins up, allows the malware to run, and then all of the MITM network traffic and the instance memory snapshot is dropped into S3 for forensic exploration and collaboration.

Forensic malware analysis as a service.

> as fewer people turn off JS and browsers become better at running web apps

In my anecdotal experience, I am running across more people that are turning off JavaScript, partly because browsers are becoming more bloated and worse at running web apps.

Why do activists like these always have to write that they "shake"? I usually stop reading and taking them seriously.
And your argument is not new either. It was used to justify slavery.
No they are right. Due to some sort of accounting thing once upon a time on some of the first iPod touches there would be a small fee to upgrade the OS.
Ruined in the very first line by suggesting that JIRA is somehow a project management tool.

JIRA manages issues.

Advanced use of JIRA may mean that you can use it as a risk log, or a milestone tracker, or an epic planner... but let's not mistake "advanced use of JIRA" with "advanced project management".

Just try and use JIRA to determine a critical path, or to track the impact on one project when a deliverable expected from another project slips, or to alert when the threshold of a slipped due date is exceeded. JIRA cannot even auto-promote a risk (something that may happen) to an issue (something that has happened) based on a change in circumstances (i.e. time-based overdue, or some threshold being exceeded).

Just try and use JIRA to go beyond a single project, and to manage a program of projects delivering multiple things as part of one complex product. If that sounds like jargon, imagine trying to use JIRA to project manage the the construction of a new vehicle, with multiple teams in different facilities providing the chassis, drivetrain, etc.

This is all basic stuff for good project management software, and only those not versed in project management make the mistake of thinking that JIRA is an issue.

On a project management tooling scale, JIRA itself would never pass the first level of maturity.

Few tech companies manage projects well. Few identify risks, few track inter project dependencies, few can determine whether there are resource issues (headcount availability) 6 months out due to multiple projects needing delivering at the same time and competing for the same internal resource.

JIRA is not a project management tool. It is a glorified issue tracker that allows the unskilled to imagine they are managing projects.

I guess that's a strong statement, but it does need to be made. JIRA can work for you, but it is only a simple tool.
The only meaningful difference between the two is that the lambda is named <lambda> and the function is named even.

I'm happy for you to use lambdas in an expression context, if that's how you like to roll, but assignment is a statement anyway, so it doesn't matter there and you might as well choose the one that produces helpful tracebacks.
By that logic, would you call doing a startup cheating poverty?
An additional option is D) make iimmmigration easier.

How many undocumented people would be willing to become citizens? My guess is the % is quite high.
I'd love to use F# in production on a Linux/Mac OS environment. I find the tooling to be problematic and quite hacky on these platforms. In the same time the library ecosystem around manipulating PDF/Word/XLSX documents, CPU/GPU math accelerated libraries, machine learning, stats, charts and DB connectors are not that mature and production ready.
If you just stay withing the F# and .NET core library ecosystem then it's fine. I'd need more support for the ecosystem to be able to fully switch from scala to F# for production. I'm so looking forward to having Microsoft get the full .NET to Linux.
You're missing the point entirely. I'm not saying inequality doesn't exist. Of course it exists.

I'm asking again: What happens if we take the wealth not just from the top 1%, but the top 10%, then spread it among the rest? How much does everyone get? Would it be a life-changing amount of money?
It's a wiki. You can edit it!
I think a simpler argument is that for L1 you want fast, not big. Same thing with registers (a form of cache at a lower level). Why did MIPS only have 32 registers?

Design Principle 2: Smaller is faster. [1]

BTW, if you look at Agner Fog's latency tables [2], mov mem,r (load) went from 3 cycles in Haswell to 2 cycles in Skylake. So Intel has been concentrating on faster which is nice.

And by way of comparison, AMD increased their μop cache size in Ryzen but then only slightly. Way size went from 6 μops to 8. This matches their increase in EUs.

I think the 99.99% uptime that most residential internet has will suffice for my incremental backups that I run daily from all of my machines. ACD with rclone had relatively mediocre throughput and slow stat-ing compared to a basic rsync, so if anything I'm in better shape than before for performance.

I already have internal, networked, and cold backups. I just needed one offsite. Doesn't matter to me whether it's a 15 minute drive away, or across the country. If my entire city gets nuked I have bigger things to worry about.

Yes you did, but then you said that the solution is to reform society so that informal social rules are never broken. And I'm saying that unless you want to make those rules into laws, or something like laws, it's not doable.
Apple tries really damn hard to make their stuff run well on all devices and it's very impressive how well they support them.

But if your device is a few years old… You're right that you may want to wait and see what the reviews say. Sometimes the updates actually make the phone feel faster, but sometimes (like iOS 7 with all the new transparency effects) it definitely can be a worse experience.
