When I finally updated to the “improved” GarageBand a couple years ago, I went literally months believing that certain features had been entirely removed by the “upgrade”. Then one day I accidentally resized my damned window and entire features reappeared. It turns out that Apple actually has panes HIDING things when they won’t fit, instead of having scroll bars or fading or some hint that there is more.

I worked in this field a bit at Baylor. There are those who want to model the 'hardware' down to every complexity and those who want to figure out the 'software' that emerges from the physical hardware. The groups communicate but are fairly divided.

Does it tune itself or is static? It definitely tunes, but it can be meaningful to the algorithm or ignored.
In fact, make the structs opaque so that you retain full control over the data and its invariants.

I had the same thoughts until the haha-outage hyperbole. Perhaps this little feature spurring so much discussion about delimiters is caused by a lack of thought by the developer, releasing an idea before it fully matured. A sort of race towards innovation mixed with a hint of it-works-ship-it.

The same tired argument has been made every decade since the 70s, with mostly the same cast of characters: artificial intelligence, English somehow being used to specify the behavior, stock libraries of code, etc. I think we're about as far from it today as we were when Prolog was a big deal.

The amount of incipient complexity in programming has been growing, not going down. What's more complex, "hello, world" to the console in Python, or "hello world" in a browser with the best and newest web stack? Mobility and microservices create lots of new edge cases and complexity—do non-programmers seem particularly well-equipped to handle edge cases to you?

The problem has never really been the syntax—if it were, non-programmers would have made great strides with Applescript and SQL, and we'd all be building PowerBuilder libraries for a living. The problem is that programming requires a mode of thinking which is difficult. Lots of people, even people who do it daily, who are trained to do it and exercise great care and use great tool tools, are not great at it. This is not a syntax problem or a lack of decent libraries problem. We have simple programming languages with huge bodies of libraries. What's hard is the actual programming.

Referendums are, by definition, the tool to change the law. In this case, to make legal something what was previously illegal.

Other than that, it makes sense that the Spanish law does not allow the Independency of a territory. I assume that the British law did not allow the Independence of the US neither.
That only makes the dynamic even more exaggerated when you travel from a reasonably clean, streetcar-suburb neighborhood like West Portal or the Outer Richmond to the city core and are abruptly surrounded by a mass of bodies failed by society.
Given the bugs/missing features in the google docs lineup, I've never believed they are dogfeeding. It's been out for 10 years and it still has formatting issues. Change the zoom level of your browser and tab-aligned things will suddenly unalign. Made a report with pictures/figures? Good luck printing that, everything will move around as soon as you go to print it.

The only thing I know google uses google docs for is coding interviews. Which is just sad.
I also consult for Fortune 500 companies on a regular basis, and most of them still have core business processes running on mainframe code bases well older than 10 years. No one is doing major greenfield development on mainframes, but they still exist all over the place.

But it won't, the US investment dollars will simply be spent in the entrepreneur's home country, which won't create any US jobs and in fact will help dilute the power and influence of Silicon Valley.

> We're exploiting poor conditions in other countries in order to attract their best, as well as creating poor conditions here for natural born citizens to suppress their demands from resource owners.

Well you could see it that way; in my case it is a quality of life sacrifice to work in the US in exchange for significantly more interesting work environment; on the other hand my wife couldn't deal with the lower quality of life here (worse and more expensive medical system, worse food, schools, etc).

Yes, but they aren't proposing people do illegal things. The referendum wasn't that they change the law, the referendum was that the secede regardless of the law.

I imagine that they'd have had different results if the referendum were about changing the law, but that's not what this was. This was specifically to violate the law.
"Supermarkets often have an average margin of 1-3%"

They often have operating margins of 1-3%. Gross margins (what people usually mean when they say 'margin') are usually over 5%.

Furthermore, neither operating margin nor gross margin are useful when considered in isolation. Supermarket chains are special because:

1) They have negative working capital: they receive payment from their customers before they pay their suppliers.

2) They have fast inventory turnover. Tesco's annual inventory turns are about 18x. So, for a given level of margin, they make twice as much as a normal retailer (e.g. Amazon's annual inventory turns are about 9x).
How is it possible that guns are less regulated than startups?
I think if you narrowed it down to every tech start-up that took on venture capital at some point in the last ten years, the answer would be a resounding no. It might be positive if you included all tech start-ups over ten years (any of the others that make it ten years pretty much have to be profitable by necessity and there are dramatically more of those than the well-publicized VC backed companies). The red ink pile from the VC companies is epic though, so the others may still not be close to an offset.

I'm not aware of any tech start-ups from the last ten years, that are printing income at an impressive level (something akin to the profit ramp of a Google or Facebook). Airbnb might be a candidate for a large income generator, that segment has good margins if expenses are tightly managed; it was founded in 2008, so it's about to age-off that list.

There certainly may be some young profit machines hiding in China, as a universe unto itself it can be difficult to track all the start-ups there. Jinri Toutiao for example, is at or around $2.5x billion in revenue for 2017, after just four years, a rather extraordinary growth rate for an ad business. As an aggregator, you'd think that would have tremendous margins, but they're raising tons of capital, so I'd guess they're currently spending at a very high level.
Yay! Another revolution! I was starting to miss the IoT revolution, and chatboat revolution, and...

There's a discussion on HN somewhere. TLDR; we're building complexity into software that developers can't keep in their heads any more, which is leading to more and more errors.

It crossed my mind today when I was fiddling with some AWS stuff. Keeping a mental-map of all of these services, security groups, VPC topology, IAM configs, etc. is also growing more difficult.

And now, this. Haven't done Lambda work, but the paradigm would seem to contribute to mental noise. On one hand, it seems liberating to move away from bound-servers, but who maintains the configs and mental-model for all of the "unbound" processes that can "materialize", do work, then quiesce again? How about the dependency map between Lambdas? Overall, seems they'd kind of become "phantoms" over time vs. servers.

>Permissions are a nightmare. You have to give both users trying to run lambdas and the lambdas' service accounts some crazy permissions sometimes in order to get anything to work

And once you've done this, it has to be recorded and mentally mapped.

On a related note, I find much of AWS to be this way. For all of its success, it is not the clearest to navigate, especially on the interoperability front. It's not always obvious what you need to do to connect things the first time around on any given service(s), and it requires more trial and error than I'd like. When it doesn't work, it generally just doesn't work. Is it a security group? VPC setting? Firewall? IAM role? Something I don't know that I don't know? Do I even need this or that component?

Always seemed that there's a lot of documentation on the parts, but that there's something missing on the whole/overall cohesiveness.
Excuse my ignorance here, and trust that I'm actually asking because I'm genuinely curious, but what do you mean by a "common runtime"?

We use Cloud Function for a large part of our infrastructure, and it's all just Node under the hood. Some of it we recently ported to Iron.io for cron runs and it was a pretty smooth process. I'm just curious what changes you'd actually like to see made here.
Exactly what I was thinking. The report is dated 5th August 2016 while the acquisition was announced on 18th August 2016. Awfully short time to go through the report, specially with the amount of red flags which were raised and acquisition being announced.
Report says it was requested by Uber and Otto in March 2016, and it is dated Aug 5, 2016. Uber announced Otto acquisition on Aug 18. So this looks like an investigation that was part of the due diligence for the acquisition, and Uber would have had it well before the acquisition was announced.

Could be that when you're hustlin', making bold bets and being optimistic leaders[1], you don't get too concerned about (or read) a report like this.

I tend to squeeze every penny and I have a bit of buyer's remorse for buying a refurbished MacBook 2015 with the smallest storage: 128 GB.

Everything else is great, but I'm constantly finding myself in situations where I am about to install Docker, or go-lang, or something I am experimenting with and eventually come to the conclusion...not worth it to install.

Fwiw, i was there for several years and every team i was on used it pretty much exclusively. I never came across the issues you describe, but have heard similar things from others: if you're not in a position where it matters how pretty your docs are, then I would imagine the issues you're talking about don't really matter. IME it was hard to find anything to complain about.

For example, I don't think I've printed a document in a decade, except when dealing with dinosaurs like govt or banks, which my team didn't deal with.

> Engadget's 3 paragraph article contains no less than 5 links back to engadget.com and not a single mention of this source.

That's Engadget's house style. They forbid external links the the body of an article, only allowing links within their own site. The best you can hope for is a single hard-to-find link at the end.

They've done it this way for years. It sucks. It's one of the reasons I never read anything on Engadget except by mistake.
Then they should wash. Perfume + odour is even worse than one alone.
The consumer groups proposal breaks the FIFO abstraction of a stream by allowing multiple clients to process a single stream.

Have you considered adding a semantic layer inside streams that allows each client to consume a substream? In effect the stream becomes multiplexed substreams.

If substreams makes the design too complex... have you considered server side stream 403 semantics? When a stream is manually deprecated it enters an immutable state and provides a redirect response with a link to another stream. This would allow multiplexing and demultiplexing streams without changing the client implementations too much.

For completeness I would state the obvious when fifo grouping is needed:
1. Scaling stateful event processing by splitting streams and adding more clients (CPU limit)
2. Scaling cross region replication by splitting streams and adding more tcp connections (network limit)
3. Handling more throughput by splitting a stream into two redis nodes (disk I/O limit)
Am I the only one who finds this editorial morally repugnant, especially considering it was written by a VC who runs a fund that specifically invests in startups facing "regulatory challenges?"
Eh he's obviously very smart, he's just doesn't appreciate how lucky he is too, which is probably pretty normal, everyone has been fawning over him for so long it would be hard for him to not start believing in his own exceptionalism.

Given the caveats you mention, is there such thing as proving anything?
You gotta be kidding. Literally everything at Google happens in Docs. Every written doc of any kind.
The Puerto Ricans themselves disagree, as they've never voted for independence in any of the referendums on the issue that have been held over the last fifty years.
google docs is not for typesetting; if you care what things will look like on a printed page it's not the right tool.

re tab-aligned things, are you using explicit tab stops or not?
> This is no different from writing tests in a dynamic language.

Types and tests are not equivalent. This is a prevalent myth among dynamic typing enthusiasts. There is no unit test that can ensure, eg. race and deadlock freedom, but there are type systems that can do so. There are many such properties, and tests can't help you there.

Types verify stronger properties than tests will ever be able to, full stop. You don't always need the stronger properties of types, except when you do.
People forget that just 20 years ago - August 1997 - Apple was on the verge of going under. Microsoft kept them afloat with a massive (at the time) $150M purchase. Microsoft was in the middle of their anti-trust fight so they couldn't afford to lose a "competitor" no matter how absurdly mismatched they were. iMacs, iPods, and eventually iPhones fundamentally changed everything.

The economic behemoths regularly change shape, form, and function and others replace them. Believing that we're at the final result of everything seems misguided at best.
Thanks. OCR isn't 100% accurate but does a pretty good job. So we recommend double-checking before generating. Is your second point to be able to re-use a symbol for another part in the same family but that uses a different package type?

That may be entirely true and everything you can achieve with Roslyn and T4 templates may be achievable through some more elegant construct in another language.

But I've never had the luxury of choosing a tech stack for it's purity of design. So the feature is wonderful in my day to day regardless.

I'd love to build 3D experiences in a language like lisp or scheme. It'd be great fun to learn but I don't currently have the luxury of the time it would take to ramp.

And I certainly don't have the political capital to convince my entire dev team to change.

vm.go/l.call doesn't seem to be reentrant (though I'm not native go speaker). This means that yielding across, e.g. for-loop [edit:]iterators, would leave vm with broken invariants. There are also pcalls that must be dealt with. But since this language is just similar and differs in too many things, explicit restrictions may help solve that, like it was done for <= 5.1.
No tests. At all. Ever.
I am not an enthusiast, hence the question - if outlawed, how difficult would it be for someone to re-create it in a metal shop, or with a 3D printer? I'd assume the designs are floating on the Internet somewhere.

Maybe because of "lifespans"?

People live for ~80 years... doing a 2-4 decade study isn't out of the realm of possibility.

Computers on the other hand... While there are a few mainframes that live to be 10 years old - the vast majority of the internet, program languages, apps, etc... Hell, even the iPhone just hit 10 years old.

How can you have a 20 year study when the majority of "code" is less than 10 years old?
Only 220 Model 3 cars in an entire quarter? There's a big problem somewhere. That sounds like some key part of the production line doesn't work at all, and something is being hand-built to get some product out the door. Tesla isn't saying what's not working. Has anything leaked out?

When something like this this happens, the manufacturer has most of the costs of full production with the revenue of tiny production. Profitability just got further away.

As of August 2017, there have been about 63,000 cancellations of Model 3 preorders.[1]
