Presumably if I don't want to receive spam emails I'm also unlikely to allow a website to send me notifications. I'm unlikely as well to install an extension for a very specific service I'm not going to use very often. Extensions are a privacy concern and consume memory needlessly.

If I'm willing to give a fake registration email I probably don't care about privacy and this is just for throwaway anyway. I'm not going to give any personal info to a website I don't trust with my email in the first place.

I also don't understand how this is not going to be blacklisted like any other anti-spam email service.

Maybe I'm not the target for this product bu this seems to bring nothing new in a slightly more annoying way.

That's A money. They were founded in 2013. They have 11-50 employees. They already have products (read: MVP) and services. That's not proving a hypothesis seed money. That's scaling an enterprise A money. That said, Crunchbase [1] says seed round. But that's A money both by size and apparent intent.

Sharing images and video is a primary function of the phone, these days.

Phones like this one keep missing the ball, on this feature point.

Seriously, in such social media, what other people see isn't how fast your phone runs or how many apps it can juggle. It's your images and video.
Yes, because I agreed with you that it was perhaps a poor time for a colloquial usage of "dropped" considering that, in the context, it was fairly likely to be interpreted as my counter-example, or your initial interpretation.

I'd like to think my wording was completely unambiguous to make up for any context-switching your brain might have tried to pull on you, and if not I apologize.
Just as far as everybody knows, that doesn't mean that it's necessarily true.

There can be a distinct difference between what is believed to be true and what's actually true.

There might very well be entities that has the information, but it's sitting on it for later use.
I still remember doing a make world on FreeBSD on a 75MHz Pentium. Went out for the night and it was still going when the hangover wore off the following afternoon. This was mainly because it spent most of it's time swapping.
> How is recruiters persuing professionals for their skills different from stalkers persuing their targets for their looks?

The former (speaking of recruiters targeting modern technology professionals; 19th century naval recruiters are a different story) has less of a history of escalating to physical violence and forced taking of what is desired by the pursuer, a context difference which results in a significant difference in the level of reasonably perceived threat to autonomy and physical safety involved.

Salesforce Einstein’s Jim Sinai on Bringing AI to the Enterprise
I've spent my career doing third-party software security evaluations --- among other things, I founded the NCC Cryptography Services practice --- and I will tell you right now that the Wireguard security story is far more compelling than any third-party audit.

It's not simply the protocol design, which is superior in pretty much every conceivable way to IKE or TLS, but also the code, which is carefully written to minimize attack surface and increase reviewability.

Choosing OpenVPN or StrongSWAN over WireGuard to minimize exposure to vulnerabilities would be a dumb bet. Sometimes dumb bets pay off, but it's still dumb to make them.

Ah, cool. I'll absolutely grant that racism, sexism and agism are all acts of superiority. And "superiority" is a really good way to enrapture the idea of these different biases, that makes sense.

Buuuuuuut you posted in a thread about _Hunger_. Hunger comes from poverty-- you're right that income inequality is maybe the wrong word for it, I was taking it a step farther. But from the context, it did feel like you were trying to say the poverty comes from people enacting superiority. And #2 and #3 are my trying to derive other moral positions your that assertion-- so let's put them to the side.

But cool, I'm glad we came to a closer understanding. I thought you were taking the common anti-capitalist position that "all businesses are evil!" or something.
So now knock off clothing will be the new electronics on Amazon. Fake clothing, fake brands.. who really knows.

In our town there is a boutique in a strip mall. They cut off the tags from other store's products and put their on their merchandise. A high schooler kid was heard telling her friends her job is to do this.. Some were clearance from Walmart; others Kohls.

Amazon should really figure out how to not allow knock offs.
Yeah, that works for me. A stupid enough name that I'd never check it in will probably be replaced within an hour, as I've gotten to know the class or function better.

Another thing I do sometimes is tricking people into talking about the thing I'm trying to name without giving away that I'm looking for a name. They often just use the natural term I couldn't think of.
I don't think running processes inside a container will be any more interesting for benchmarking than just running the processes normally. What overhead does a container add? A little indirection in syscalls? I would imagine the number of instructions involved in that are beyond trivial for serving a page, so I can't see how benchmarking running containers would be different than just benchmarking running your processes.

VMs - now with processor virtualisation technology I'm sure the different processor architectures do make an interesting difference there.
> I don't think I've ever seen someone describe a feature that vi/vim/emacs has that an IDE doesn't

Emacs can seamlessly access files over ssh, ftp and/or sudo.

Emacs lets me add custom hook commands to run before a file is saved (to check a file’s syntax using an external command), and after it’s saved (to signal reloading of the file to the relevant process).

Emacs also includes my mail reader, my diary, my organizer, a spreadsheet, an stack-based algebraic calculator, etc. but those may be unfair comparisons. :)

Note: All of the above are part of the built-in functionality of Emacs. Third-party extensions can of course do anything.
So does this mean I'm going to start getting other people's bedbugs if I buy clothes on amazon?
Besides the large plates, I think you're reacting to the focus as well. We've gotten very used to our small lenses and their infinite depth of field that keeps everything focused. We're so used to it that now it's a feature to have a smartphone camera that can blur the background. But those old cameras did that automatically, because they were only capable of a narrow depth of field and the photographer had to be really careful about where the focus was when he composed the shot.

That simply means the theory is wrong, not "odd".
Checking if their various servers exist on install seems likely. And well known C&C servers probably hide their actual IP, they'd be fairly easy to shut down if they didn't.
Naming things is hard because a proper name imparts the essence of the thing you're naming. To understand the essence of the thing, you have to understand what role it serves, what else it interacts with, and what part of that is interface and what is implementation.

Naming is identifying concepts that matter—and occasionally realizing that the thing you just wrote, but can't name, is not a thing that should exist. It's part of understanding what your system really is and what it does.

The naming part, the mapping of words to objects, is easy. What's hard is breaking down a system into parts with obvious names.
I don't know what you're looking for with the wavpack comparison, but 510kbps approaches the noise floor for most audio that isn't white noise or black metal. 96kbps is widely considered transparent on speakers (you have to try quite hard to notice 48kbps), 112-128kbps on headphones (and 96kbps at most for people older than 15, lol).
Anyway else think it's interesting that $4.6m could be labeled "seed funding"?

Seed round 2016 average is around $1m per Crunchbase:

https://techcrunch.com/2016/09/07/crunchbase-sees-rise-in-av...

Cooley has seed round pre-moneys at $4-6m. (Thus, a $5m check is pretty much out of question at that stage.)

https://www.cooleygo.com/trends/

So, this is much more like a Series A? I wonder if they were advised to call it seed funding to leave open the possibility of a "big" Series A, due to the level of interest. It does seem like SV VCs are making somewhat large bets on F/OSS-based companies, so maybe that is wise.

I also realize a lot of this is semantics.
blowing up a satellite in orbit is a massive escalation over even something like a commando raid -- i believe it would qualify as a violation of outer space treaty as well. a great deal of 'space junk' was generated by china's (one, individual) test of an antisatellite missile in 2011, and it caught a lot of critical international attention over it because it puts other satellites in danger -- thousands of tiny pieces zipping around like a 3d minefield. this hazard would potentially apply to US military satellites as well.

besides this: there are many, many ways to spy on satellites. the US is believed to have at least one satellite that sits 'above' a major middle eastern comms satellite with a football field-sized antenna, passively snooping everything shot at it. you can encrypt it, sure, but do you have high enough trust in your crypto implementations to deal with an adversary like that?

what i'm getting at is, i don't think they would shoot down the satellite.
It's still a rather bad trade-off. If you base your operation in a country with strong privacy laws then these at least protect you from that domestic government.

If you base your operation in international waters/outer space then there's literally no privacy law protecting you from anybody, you are fair game for every government out there.
Is that an apples-to-apples comparison (either both monolith or both all-modules kernels, both with all drivers enabled?)

The way I like to explain it simply to people is that right now, you can use frameworks to manipulate probability distributions. Quantum logic gates are basically a restriction on the operations you can use to combine pdf functions. Ultimately, unless you can find a clever way to convert an algorithm into one that uses pdfs and then achieves a pdf where one single value has 99% of the EV, QM aint gonna help ya.

Run it in AWS. They keep their IP ranges comparatively clean.

My hesitation in signing up for any of these unifying products is the potential lock in. If I start using your service and eventually have dozens of sites directed through you, what happens when the product disappears?

My question is therefore how do you plan to fund this indefinitely if it is "Just Free, Forever" and is unlimited? You say it is part of promoting your brand, but it looks like that brand (or at least the domain) has been around for less than a year, so not much history. If it isn't you company's main product, what is to stop you from deciding the costs of providing this becomes too expensive for the promotion it is giving you?
This is impossible. Debian packages are stateful: They have maintainer scripts that can do stuff, they are inherently non-transactional by design.

Even if you can rollback updates, a lot of the time that's no help - your user data format was upgraded, rendering your data useless (especially for web browsers, which you can't really downgrade).

That said, it's trivial to use file system snapshots. Ubuntu has apt-btrfs-snapshot to do this automatically, but it was never provided in Debian AFAICT.

But even with snapshots, you also need to snapshot user state, not just the installation, otherwise you end up with upgraded incompatible data again.
A crisp blog post would be quite convenient than clicking 90 times on the next button. Just saying.
No, I'm sure lots of things have changed. More of the code would be using C99 semantics now, and I have no idea how GCC would have improved or regressed since then. It's possible that it's trading improved runtime performance on ever-more complex hardware for longer compile times.
This is a commonly misunderstood issue, because of Google's superior PR. Amazon banned Chromecast in response to Google's refusal to allow Amazon products like the Kindle Fire from using Google services like Chromecast, without agreeing to the illegal requirement of bundling competing products like Play Books, which Amazon obviously doesn't want to load on their Kindles.

Google behaved anticompetitively, Amazon responded in turn, but unfortunately, very few people are aware of the former.

(And yes, Google's anticompetitive behavior regarding Android apps and services is subject to another, separate EU antitrust investigation than the one mentioned above, which is still ongoing.)
The basic syntax itself will look very familiar to someone coming from python. The immediate obvious differences:

- 1-based indexing instead of 0-based

- end keyword vs significant whitespace blocks (and no colon to start a block)

- function instead of def (or defined inline f(x) = ...)

- x -> ... instead of lambda x : ...

- start:stop/start:step:stop instead range(start,stop)/range(start,stop,step)

- strings are joined with * instead of +

The actual internals, and features such as types and multiple dispatch can make it a very different to use, but hopefully that should be enough to get you started.
Opus is something really, really cool!

My last company (Zip Phone, YC S14) was a direct result of the fantastic work that the Opus team has done in the last few years. I remember researching audio codecs around the end of 2013 and stumbling across Opus, and being amazed at what it could do at extremely low bitrates, and everything was available completely for free! Spent my fair share of time on the Opus IRC channel on freenode (shout out to derf, gmaxwell, jmspeex, mark4o) bugging them with basic queries, and getting excellent support.

Opus rocks.
I mean, I know this conversation is all about railing against the snobbish "you just don't understand fine art" attitude, but I find the stubborn "he really needs to reign it in and not be so crazy" attitude to be unfortunate too. It's good for artists to experiment. A lot of those experiments can be very fun and enjoyable for the readers, if you're willing to give them a chance.

Hey, I'd be interested in knowing if you're just selling plain ol' non-free software. Can I buy the PRO version and give it to my friends, can I study it, can I modify it?

It's a little sad when we are trying to figure out how to make money for free software and the answer ends up being "sell (some) software non-freely". Okay, so it's impossible to make money without selling non-free software? There can only be one Red Hat in the world?

I don't think it's any consolation that you are also producing free software; pretty much every major software vendor nowadays does that while keeping all the interesting secret sauce secret.

I totally agree that I find naming things to be difficult. The worst is arguing over names in a code review.

Is there a dictionary/encyclopedia of programming names somewhere?

There's the design patterns (where we get some of the examples from the slides in), but sometimes you just need the word, or want to look at other words. Sometimes getting a different word can even make you think about the architecture in a different way.

Kind of like a programmer's rhyming dictionary?

I realize that. Thanks for the condescension. But, you realize that people aren't motivated by just one thing, right? Even if they are business people, right?

Anyway, knowing what we know about Job's obsession with getting things right (as he saw it), you do think that his sniping at specific look and feel issues was just to put the engineers down?

To me, it's a more cohesive picture if I interpret his actions as being motivated by obsession to UX/asking more of engineers ( I know these guys weren't working for him).

But, as you said, neither of us were there.

JuliaFin actually includes a bunch more stuff on top of JuliaPro/JuliaRun that is finance/banking/insurance specific.
