It's also a weird thing to say, given how much more difficult GitHub PRs make contributing regarding actual barrier-to-entry. GitHub contributions are only easy if you're already using GitHub to do your work. Talking about the marginal difficulty of using GitHub as if it's low on an absolute scale (rather than a relative scale, which is what marginal difficulty is about by definition) is like talking about the benefits of any other heavily subsidized thing without acknowledging the hidden subsidy and factoring it into the absolute cost.

I.e., it can only be called a low barrier to entry if you're willing redefine "entry" to be something other than "entry".
>The other side of this coin is that, for these "low-cost workers," the goat farm gig is probably better than their alternatives.

When you're talking about people who are in prison, "alternatives" can be actual torture. I'd rather work in a stinking pit than be locked in a tiny room 23.5 hours a day, and that last thing is always an "alternative" in prison.

That's like calling a small Indie film a Blockbuster and dismissing objections as a matter of opinion.

The term AAA is analogous to Blockbuster in the film industry. It's a reference to both budget and expected unit sales. Blockbuster movies have budgets starting in the hundreds of millions where as Indie films budges are usually in the single to double digit millions. Video games are no different in that respect.

What makes you think the next bubble will still be housing? Or be as big? Banks aren't leveraged on CDOs like they were precrisis. Current bubbles are probably subprime auto-loans, which is a much smaller market than home loans, and maybe apartments and commerical real estate. As millenials age they will move from city apartments out into the suburbs to have yards and access to good schools for their kids. This will probably continue to drive the housing market up. If you need a house in the short term you are gonna have to hop on the housing market rollercoaster and adopt your new NIMBY lifestyle.

Yea wow the underwriters are getting picky. We recently bought with a mortgage, and they kept asking about two things that were hilarious from my end:

- transactions between my own accounts to put enough in one place for down payment (this despite sending them transaction records from both sides multiple times)

- the fact that my dad and I co-purchased a condo in the Midwest for 100k in cash. They kept asking for docs on the mortgage for that when there wasn't ever a mortgage. Idk how they wanted me to prove something that never existed. Finally got our insurance agent to call them up on the phone and explain, "yes real estate prices in flyover really are that cheap; no there never was a mortgage; no, that means there's no other bank to talk to"

Really frustrating process when they keep asking for stuff that doesn't exist. The loan officer at the bank that I was working with was similarly frustrated with their own underwriters.
> A few students had pretty bad experiences, I think. It was a very demanding program. Several times, I had full-grown adults break down and cry during our 1:1s.

I think we could all learn a lot from their failures. Is there anything about their experience that could help you predict who would make an ill-suited applicant? Or some helpful advice on how folks should be prepared to approach the program ("you should expect to put in X hrs per day over the next 180 days if you want to be successful")?
73 is soixante treize and is just this : a word (ok, two) one learns by heart. No French think that this is 60+13, but just 73.

I understand the point about logics in counting, but this is just a new word to learn, like déposition or balafré. One can analyze these words from an ethymology perspective but normally you just learn them by heart.

At least this is what I do in English when I need to remember went or throughout .
It seems so obvious that it's too obvious to end up happening... but I agree.

I agree with most things you said, however.

For how long this will last? Many will agree here, that C++
is known for its ineptitude for "long-term" projects where maintenance issues are of crucial importance. I presume that proof assistants belong to that class. If Leo is the only developer of this project for the rest of life, then it is OK, I guess.
Key-value stores provide very little. The whole deal with SQL/relational databases, is that they provide much much more. The SQL database like CockroachDB are built on top of RocksDB, a key-value database: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/sql-in-cockroachdb-mappin...

It's the difference between assembly language and a high-level language. Key-value stores are simple, basic, and primitive. What's wrong with that? It's like a farmer saying, I don't want to learn how to use a tractor (it's too complicated), and who chooses to farm with a hand tools instead.

> if you use tools you don't understand

Yea.... key-value stores are incredibly complex and require years of learning to understand.

I could explain a key-value store to a five-year old. In fact, I think even a pigeon can understand the fundamental principle underlying a key-value store. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigeon_intelligence

For any non-trivial data model, go with something that can capture your model at a high level, like a relational database or a graph database.

There are plenty of examples of work not being valuable in capitalism too.

It's not much more useful than Newton's. The greatest point of Leibniz' notation is that you can do those things such as simplifying dx, or moving dy to the other side of the equality.

It is confusing to beginners, but it's very useful once you understand it.
Tried that, it did nothing. The only thing that worked for me was to delete the library entirely. At which point I'd ask why they bother including it in the first place if it's unnecessary and causes issues.

As the other commenter pointed out, you need to carry your salt with you to deduce the actual password. On top of that, you need to keep your salt secret, otherwise it is trivial to deduce your password. So your system [password = hash(master password, salt, domain)] is exactly the same as a master password protecting several other ones. Just use your salt as a password directly at this point...

Didn't mean to do that. The whole thing has been a point of contention for a long time, so I wanted to clarify that they are actually getting on board with Wayland. They are by no means fully backing with Xwayland. I want a full Wayland experience and nVidia is doing the bare minimum to enable it on their hardware. For me getting all the way there really does involve desktop applications embracing it and adding support too. X is deprecated, and so should be Xwayland.
meetup.com is good, met a new friend there a month ago. Also invite all the local people on Facebook you are "friends" with to actually hang out.
To clarify, when I said "everything" I meant stage-wise, early and late are being co-mingled, which to me, implies that this isn't necessarily related to continuity, which is late stage.

I'm not trying to imply that the overall corporate structure is changing. I was assuming that startup school would fall under the early stage rubric, but maybe not?
That's if you require the range to be [0, infinity). If you don't require 0 to be a valid point in the distribution then a power law is the maximum entropy distribution. A power law just diverges if you try to integrate to zero, so you have to find a lower entropy distribution.

Why are people down voting me. I didn't say I agree with Peter Schiff just that he is one of the people who predicted the housing bubble and other bubbles he's been predicting every year since then.
Adding on to your important thought, if you do NOT accept that the regulations are impotent, than you should look to a different sector besides housing that could cause a crisis. If it is the case that something else creates the problem, different people with different domain knowledge are likely to be the ones predicting it.

Hey related Q - if I got an in law being evicted in a smaller city over there (that still has massive new high rise development), is there still gonna be an easy cheap rental market? They are being very insistent on only buying, saying "nobody in China rents, only buys", so I guess that might be why you see low rents?
What your describing is not a lack of engineers, it's a low uneployment rate. There are enough engineers for 100s of new startups. The only thing that excarbates more than San Francisco, is that there is much less a culture of jumping ship here, which is good for companies long term. Also, it's much easier to convince engineers to move to Seattle than San Francisco, which is probably why we are growing at over 3x the rate.

Despite all the rules? My friend, who do you think the rules are for? Compliance departments are EXPENSIVE, which means that only big banks can afford them. Which means less competition. Which means higher prices and profits for the few that remain.
People keep using Glassdoor numbers and think they’re representative.

Representative of low performers, maybe, but even then I’m not convinced. The idea that a high performer only gives up $5k total comp going to Amazon or Microsoft in Seattle is... well, feel free to believe that. You’re making a ton of money any which way relative to the general population.

But most people I know in the Bay Area don’t report that they’re leaving net income on the table staying here. Maybe all those software engineers are just bad at accounting, seems to be everyone’s analysis.

Difficult to comply with (aka expensive) regulations create a barrier of entry that helps these entrenched megabanks. Also, in finance, whenever regulations impede business, after some time bankers learn how to circumvent the regulations with new products or business process changes.

Uhh, having to scan a printed and signed document is not much better than having to use snail mail.

When I see "full digital support" I understand that to mean I can use just a computer.

Many other projects accept a digital signature (basically filling out a form -- in a browser). Why isn't that sufficient for the FSF?
I'm not sure I follow this, but if you're "extending" randomness from an externally-provided "seed" of random data, what you're doing is encrypting with a stream cipher, not a one-time pad.

I might be just misunderstanding you though.
There is a fairly strong political urge to not blame indigenous peoples for the extinctions in Australia.

It's part of the "noble savage" myth, as you say. Very much to do with a narrative about indigenous peoples living in harmony with their environment unlike us stupid modern people who are destroying it.

This is linked with indigenous rights, native title, and a whole bunch of really deep-rooted issues in Australian culture. Aborigines living in the bush are revered, those living in the cities are despised. Australia takes pride in the fact that we have the longest continuous culture on the planet, whilst simultaneously doing everything possible to destroy that same culture. It's very complicated and very political.

Unless the science says definitively that humans were the cause for the extinctions, then the default position is that they weren't.

You're missing his: that he feels (or wishes to explore the possibility) that it's a strictly inferior platform because it's not "extremely compelling" unless you've already bought in. You do not get to tell him that those benefits are "extremely compelling". That is a relative thing and you don't get to tell him what he finds compelling.

This arrogant prescriptivism is what you did last time, too. You did this last time this came up by trying to slag me because I didn't want to waste hours of my life debugging weird edge-case issues with Linux as a desktop operating system (and, funny story, Ubuntu 16.04 hard-locks on my desktop when I plug in a bog-standard USB sound card, that's cool, and has DVI timing and desync problems between my monitor and the graphics card--this is fiiiine, everything is fiiiine). You have decided it's compelling for you. That does not mean stating "it's compelling" makes it so for a single, solitary other soul.

Hi,
Thanks for your interest in Atlaz and for your worthwhile advice.
1. We plan some work on additional web pages, but developing our product features is on the first place for us right now. We are an American company with development center in Belarus, Minsk. Here is our Linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company-beta/7572878/
And it is a good question, we will place the link to Linkedin on our website.
2. Yep, why not? Usually, it takes a long time to qualify the idea and to make a qualitative market research.
3. It free now for all beta users, and will be free for 3 months. And yes, we are still working on the competitive pricing model.
Thank you! Let me know if you have any questions.
Author here - I appreciate the 2.0 version adds the concept of "container-as-a-service" and "function-as-a-service" in, as those are really the latest trends. I actually agree on Traditional on-premise deployment and IaaS. But I still find the right hand side 2.0 is not a good abstraction of X-as-a-Service. Reason: The relationship between Conversation / Friends / Beer / Pizza is not as such in SaaS /FaaS / PaaS and CaaS. They do not illustrate a correct hierarchy of customization and abstraction.

Secondly, why does beer mean "scaling"...
Not as many as San Francisco, but there's a ton of startups here and the city has a solid startup culture: https://www.geekwire.com/startup-list/. Some notible ones include Zillow, Redfin, Rover, and OfferUp. I agree houses are getting to be too expensive for most, but for those in the rental market things are increasing, but the Outlook looks good as soon many units are getting built.
In these cases I often wonder if there is a piece of software (or three) to blame. When someone's role is tied to a form requires them to pick an option, and gives no free-text alternative, this creates a recipe for making mindless, illogical demands. But in truth, it's not the underwriter, really: it's the underwriter parroting their bad software that is making mindless, illogical demands. (And the manager who gives instructions like, "Just fill out the form. No, I don't want to hear about exceptions. The form has worked for 15 years, why are you so special?")
No, it's like saying that good art doesn't equal to whether big publisher funds it or not, and millions in budget can result in trash result.

That's why I don't like the term AAA, it's way too confusing, conflating unrelated and often orthogonal issues (budget, publisher funding vs independent development, quality and so on).

Anyway, there are big budget games coming out for Linux, so above is really besides the point.
> That's a natural result of human intellectual progress and knowledge being passed down through generations.

We have direct evidence that that is incorrect and any high school student knows it. Many, many times have we failed to progress due to being in systems that don't allow for it.

> Is it growing or shrinking?

Why would that matter to me as an individual? So long as my overall wealth is increasing, I don't care. I don't need to be making more than my neighbor to be happy with my life. As long as I still get the goods, I'm quite happy with this deal.

This is just plain wrong in terms of a way to think about the economy or my life.

> The whole point of smart contracts is that lawyers' (and judges) opinions are not relevant.

To the extent that that's true, the idea is simply wrong.

I would argue that it is quite possible to see smart contracts as having potential practical value without taking that ideological position on their role, however.
Scala is different in that it has stronger type system, automatic memory management, the language is well-specified and is based on JVM, a reliable runtime. I would suggest that even Java would be much better choice than C++ for that project.
