It's not like the top execs at startups are compensated any differently. They might have more options than you, but the majority of their upside is still options.

He does explicitly say completely honest, and you admit that nobody is 100% honest all the time.

It's more that C++ is the only widely adopted fast language. Rust and D are the only real challengers there but D doesn't seem to have caught on and Rust's growth, while impressive, isn't up to widely-adopted language status yet.

Granted most things don't /need/ the raw throughput potential of C++, but if parts of your code really does need it then it tends to be easier to just make the whole thing in C++ than deal with bindings to other languages.

Seth Godin talked about this (OK, not the "electric" part, but the consuming fuel part) 8 years ago: http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2009/08/not-so-good-.... Elaborated upon at https://gillesarbour.wordpress.com/2009/08/22/a-little-math-... and https://antipaucity.com/2009/08/23/want-to-reduce-gas-consum... at least.

You always get the best "bang for your buck" as a percentage improvement, not a numerical improvement. Sometimes the numerical improvement is also the better percentage improvement. But not always (nor, even, often).

It's the same math that makes going 10 MPH faster less and less important to shaving time off your trip the faster your starting speed was.

For example, say you need to drive 420 miles. At 10 MPH (a casual bike rider's speed), it will take you 42 hours to go 420 miles. Add 10 MPH, doubling your speed to 20 MPH (about the average driving speed in NYC), and it now only takes you 21 hours to travel 420 miles.

Add another 10 MPH, increasing your speed by 50% to 30 MPH, and it take 14 hours to travel. Same numerical improvement in speed, but the percentage is lower, so the impact is less. Let's bump by another 10 MPH, 1/3, to 40 MPH. Your time drops to 10.5 hours. An improvement, no doubt, but not nearly so impactful. (The quick way to calculate this is for every 1/X speed improvement, you get a 1/(X+1) reduction in time (for the same distance). Adding 1/5 to your speed going from 50 to 60 drops your time by 1/6 (from an hour - for 50 miles - to 50 minutes, for example).)

An average tractor-trailer gets 5-7 MPG (http://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_average_mpg_of_a_tracto...). So to go 400 miles, they're going to use 60-80 gallons of fuel. If you can improve mileage to 9-10 MPG, they'll use 40-45 gallons of fuel - a reduction in fuel consumption of 25-50% (or, an improvement in distance per gallon of 33-100%).

So if you swap-in electric vehicles for vehicles which consume the most fuel, you'll see the biggest immediate impact. And transportation businesses (and manufacturers aiming at the transportation sector) are going to be where the biggest improvement always happen: they have the best economic incentive to cut their costs, and have the biggest pockets to do the research and development to make it happen.

I used the Peanut Butter and Jelly one in my classes when I taught programming. I also used "tying shoes". Both of those examples came from a class I took on how to teach general subjects. Before you can teach someone, you need to be able to explain it well. Thus, before you can tell a computer to do it, the same applies.

CMake is a big improvement, but it's a shame they didn't opt for Buck or Bazel. These two build systems are as much an improvement over the previous generation as autoconf and GNU Make were improvements over random ad-hoc configure scripts. Both take pains to ensure that builds are fully hermetic and fully reproducible, support rich introspection, and run very, very fast.
I would sooner buy a Shuffle than a Nano (I have neither). For the exercise use case, Shuffle is a third the weight of Nano, a third the price, smaller form factor and has a clip for your clothes. If all you want to do is shuffle your playlist while you run for an hour, it's perfect. I never understood the people who run with a half-pound smartphone strapped to their arm.
The TRUTH is that all people are not "created" equal, by any definable metric. Intelligence, athleticism, charisma, beauty... each are quantifiable and vary massively from person to person.

Hell, we don't even pretend to treat people equally under the law. See affirmative action, offering disability benefits, treatment of addicts, etc.

But I guess saying that makes me "not a true American" according to this facile, pretentious blog post by SV royalty.

Post should be called, "How to Pretend to Tell the Truth in Business."
Your assertion that it is a genetic problem and it lies within women takes it as a given that mistreating people who smile more or are more polite is perfectly A-Okay and they brought it on themselves. I will suggest that even if women are genetically predisposed to smile more (and I see no reason to believe this is actually genetically determined) there is something very wrong with a culture that essentially punishes a pro-social behavior with abusive treatment of the nice person.

I don't have citations at hand, but I have seen some studies that suggest that adults treat boy babies and girl babies differently from the get go. So just because the behavior can be traced to infancy does not prove it is genetic.
SpaceX also operates at a seemingly breakneck speed because they've taken a lot of production in-house. A lot of places contract out in order to get things manufactured, and that takes a lot of time and money because you're going back and forth instead of being able to directly take a design and go to a technician for manufacturing.
I can't share the code with you, but I did just that on a proprietary app for my company. Only the GUI shell of the app is in C#, and that only because the GUI builder features of Visual Studio can only generate C# code.

All of the "real" code in that app is in an F# library, which you add to the Visual Studio solution just like you would any other C# helper library. When you add a source file to that library, it's an F# source file, and it's built with the F# compiler into the library, which is then linked with the C# "main" program.

There are a few tricky parts, owing to the substantial differences between C# and F#. They all come down to the fact that there are aspects of both C# and F# that don't map naturally to the other. While there may be low-level .NET or IL ways to force the call, it's better to restrict your use of each language at the boundary between the two parts of the program.

Some examples:

1. F# has two ways of passing parameters to a function called the tuple and curry forms. Curried functions are the full-power form, but C# can't call them directly, so any function or method you want to export to the C# side must use the tuple form. At a superficial level, the only difference is some parentheses and commas, but at a low level, you're purposely nerfing the F# function to allow C# to call it. This is not an area you can avoid knowing about, since all of .NET uses tupled calling form, being written for C# initially.

2. F# has several native data types that have no direct implementation in C#. Some newer versions of C# have .NET extensions to allow them to manipulate values of these types given to the C# side from the F# side, but given a choice, it's often simpler to restrict the set of data types you define the interface between the two in terms of. That is, you generally don't want to allow discriminated unions, records, tuples, or function values through the boundary, if you can help it. Use data types C# copes with better: classes, structures, lists, and arrays instead.

3. C# code often makes use of null values, which are...well, "sinful" in F#. It is possible to use null in F#, but strongly recommended against, since F# is all about definite value states, and null adds an element of indefinite-ness to the application. You can choose either to allow null values through the C# to F# boundary or enforce the F# side's wish not to accept them at the boundary. Your choice.

4. Once you get into the F# way of doing things, you start to become more choosy about the C# libraries you use from F#, since some are more acceptable from an F# standpoint than others. You start to avoid libraries that have mutable values flying around everywhere, methods with side effects, etc. Some C# libraries are outright annoying to use, because you have to continually cast away so much of the F# value in order to use them. Fortunately, .NET itself is generally pretty good in this regard. The NuGet world shows less restraint here.
People drove around in cars with no seat belts, solid dashboards, craptastic drum brakes, and other great features along those lines, and most of them survived. The cars were still outrageously dangerous.
Personal identity seems like a generally intractable problem, despite the lofty goals stated in the introduction. And without it, the document is built on a foundation of sand.

An argument that I find myself having quite frequently about Bitcoin and pseudonymity is that pseudonymity and concealing identity is not a feature of the system, but rather that defining two-way identity in any sort of useful way is such a difficult problem that solving it would be a bigger achievement than Bitcoin itself.

Seeking a biological equivalent to a non-portable key in a TPM is pretty hopeless, and that's what you'd need to get a HUID -- not just a hash fingerprint that anyone can appropriate, but an internal signing mechanism to allow zero-knowledge verification of identity. And the inverse problem, the Sybil problem, is just as intractable, and as far as I know has never really been solved without a centralized issuing authority or reliance on a scarce resource (like proof-of-work, which even there solves only a weak variant of the Sybil problem by conflating the unit of "identity" with a unit of "work").
I'm a huge fan of Perl, and I've been playing around with Perl 6. The transition had been pretty smooth, and other than a few minor syntax changes (e.g. "." for method calls instead of "->") it feels the same.

Having said that, there is a lot more to Perl 6 than what comes baked into Perl 5.

The transition is a lot more like C to C++, where you could just use a C subset and be immediately productive.

Perl 6 has given me basically all the things I wanted changed in Perl 5 (function signatures, everything is an object, built in REPL) plus a whole bunch of stuff I didn't know I wanted but now love (gradual typing, crazy powerful type system, amazing out of box CLI argument parsing).

With Inline::Perl5 you also have access to all of CPAN.

Performance isn't quite there yet, but for the stuff I use it for (one off scripts, reports, personal CLI tools) it's been great.
If they wanted to continue the iPod nano line, Apple should probably use watchOS. It's perfect for a device that size.

Basically such an iPod nano would be a vertically elongated Apple Watch with a scroll wheel instead of the "digital crown" (that tiny wheel on the side of the Watch), and a Lightning connector instead of wireless charging.
Please be that guy more often.
I will definitely be taking a read. I've tried to get into Rust before and it was a lot to be getting into (especially since I was also trying to learn Go at the time.)

But now, almost a year later, I think I finally have a pretty good handle on Go, so I think it's time to break out the Rust again.
Assuming "current services" includes Apple Music, the Nano does not have wifi.
> In fact, if the data on sperm counts is extrapolated to its logical conclusion, men will have little or no reproductive capacity from 2060 onwards.

Emphasis mine. This is where I stopped reading. The absolute most you can conclude from this study is that sperm counts have dropped, not that they will drop.
I was watching a couple of Intel CPU delidding video's and I was surprised by how they were getting drops of up to 20 degrees in CPU temperature by simply removing the cheap thermal paste Intel put on the die and replacing it with quality thermal paste.
Because the exact current form of their website today isn't as important as the development processes that got them there, and that is harder to replicate.
This website if one of the best I've read, and I recommend it even if you have no interest in F#. I learned more about how to write OOP and think about types than years of reading other blogs.
What about confronting crowd fear? I think I was scarred by my first presentation ever at the age of 12 (on DNA) in front of not 1 but 2 classes full of people, because I basically stuttered through the entire thing (speaking to 1 person- Fine. Speaking to 5 people- Fine. Speaking to 10 people- Mostly fine. Speaking to 30+ people- NOT FINE. lol). I took a public speaking class in college and they videotaped us while practicing and it was apparent that we improved but that was now years ago. I taught a couple small classes in things (or tried to) like SQL but they didn't fly very well. :/
It's not that I don't want something smaller. It's that I don't want the hassle of configuring and updating one more thing.

If I had an "iPod shuffle" app on my iPhone that would just keep the shuffle updated with music wirelessly, I'm in.
I'm sad. The Shuffle has been my best electronic device investment in terms of price/value. Solid and reliable with a neat design. Such a great product. Been washed out several times and using for 5 years still with its original battery.
IMHO The iPod nano is more interesting to keep around than the iPod touch. The nano has a much more convenient form factor for things like the gym and exercise. I don't see why people would choose the touch over a low-end iPhone. It's basically the same device without cellular network capabilities.

Speaking of cellular network capabilities, I'm still amazed that Macbook Pros still don't have the option of adding a sim-card. I know I can tether to a phone or pocket wifi, but I don't understand why depending on another device is still the status quo.
I started w/ Office 95 (well, standalone Excel 4.0, actually). To insert cells I'd type "ALT-E-I". To delete cells "ALT-E-D". Aside from cut/copy/paste and simple text formatting (bold, underline, italic) I've never used the CTRL-x shortcuts. I've always just operated the pull-down menus with their accelerator keys very quickly.

Edit: Ahh-- I re-read your comment. I'm not using the ribbon ALT-x shortcuts. I'm using the accelerator keys from the old pull-down menus. No-- those ribbon "shortcuts" are frustrating to me.
You can't even pretend that you did a single web search?
Honestly, as someone who is leaving "blue-team" network security work for a "DevOps" production team (I know, I know), it's really a mixed bag. I've done blue-team for 2 companies now and honestly the job is more project management than anything else. I found that I was very rarely actually getting hands-on with technology. When implementing a new piece of security tech, we were simply directing other teams to perform most of the the actual technical work (this was the case at both of my "security engineering" jobs). I didn't get any of the satisfaction of building anything, solving problems etc.

The other big thing to note is that a lot of companies have security teams solely to meet audit requirements. If you find yourself on a team like that, you'll be spending a lot of time just gathering evidence for audits, remediating findings and writing policy. I really loved security intellectually, but in practice, the blue-team side of things wasn't my cup of tea.
Do you think it has anything to do with the CEO?
I personally hate that the Shuffle is dead. It was a prime example of a device that did one thing only and did it well. No love for minimalism these days, I suppose.
If it inspired dozens of similar games and they all used the gg domain, then yeah, it would be reasonable to call those gg games.
I recently made the switch to management, but before that I built robots - electrical, mechanical, and software engineering. The switch didn't really bump my pay - many of the engineers I work with make more than me. It is definitely easier to command a higher salary working on the software side of robotics, although I do know a handful of people doing hardware making even more (these people are truly outliers though).
I wonder how this compares to rsync.net, especially with their HN discount and http://rsync.net/products/attic.html if you're doing the kind of backups I'd imagine Glacier is used for.

Culture, Language barrier. Hong Kong speaks Cantonese, and Mainland China speaks Mandarin.

In many ways, that is like telling people from UK to move to France, Germany or other less expensive city in EU. And even so, the Cultural and Value barrier between different Counties in EU is properly less then HK and China.
The market for them were already hurting back when Featurephones were a thing, so i am surprised to learn they still exist.

Heck, featurephones with music capabilities were probably what drove Apple to make a phone in the first place.
I'm not sure that "to make it difficult" is true.

MS Office is very old, from their point of view compatibility will always have to mean it works as much as possible like the previous version.

So suppose you have a three-way condition clause in some code, each paragraph has either "Straight", "Fast" or "Thom Hopkins" formatting. Hmm. During XML standard writing you ask engineers to explain these options so you can write them up for the standard.

"Straight" and "Fast" turn out to each have six paragraph definitions. Great! Write those in the XML standard. The guy you asked to work out "Thom Hopkins" has gone on sick leave due to a mental breakdown, he has left a forty page document, which includes excerpts from several multi-page C++ classes, one of which seems to be a partial implementation of a bin packing solver and another involves regular expressions.

You find the supervisor of the guy who last worked on the original "Thom Hopkins" code. He explains it was developed over 15 years by a large team and was originally a core part of the document engine before the invention of the faster "Straight" paragraph mode sidelined it.

Now, you _could_ add all this crap to an appendix of the proposed XML document standard, and watch a committee vomit when they try to read it OR you could say "Thom Hopkins" is a special mode and shouldn't be used in standards compliant documents, even though it's actually used in millions of templates for your own popular office suite. And then people will say you did it just to spite them...
Regarding current draw, it should be possible to regulate it with the external equipment if you really need it. All US EVs support J1772, and the J1772 plug tells the car how much it's allowed to draw. Some cars let you tell it to draw even less, but it will always respect the equipment's limiter.

For a simple example of this, Tesla's mobile connector will signal different maximum currents depending on which outlet adapter you have on it. If you have a NEMA 14-50 adapter it'll tell the car to draw up to 40A, but if you swap in the NEMA 5-15 adapter it'll tell the car to only draw 12A.

I'll take MS's commitment to F# seriously when they stop treating it like a 2nd class citizen. .NET Core 1.0 has been out for over a year, .NET Core 2.0 is in preview and there is ZERO support for F# with .NET Core in Visual Studio 2017. Yes you can use VSCode, but VSCode is no Visual Studio - it's a text editor on steroids, not a proper IDE that most C# developers have come to expect.

This seems like the strongest explanation. Apple has a greater chance at upselling someone to a subscription service if there is wifi or cellular data. That said, they could have added wireless connectivity to the Nano maybe.
