Personally I found Lisp and scheme (I'm lumping them together for their similarities) confounding to get into. There are many, many different implementations, and it seemed to me you are adopting a culture and specific ecosystem more than anything. To my mind, it was difficult. Tcl seemed much less fragmented to me. There is one canonical implementation of Tcl, managed by the Tcl Core Team (TCT). There is (at least) one popular re-implementation (Jim Tcl), interestingly enough originally implemented by the author of the original article we're discussing here.

Re: backward compatibility... I'd say Tcl is remarkably stable. A core tenet is "everything is a string" (EIAS), and logically, this has been honoured. Originally (before Tcl 8, or 8.4(?)) internal components of Tcl were literally strings. As in C "char " strings. It is (and has been) byte-coded for a long time now, and uses Tcl_Obj internals, with a string representation, and a high-performance "native" representation as well. It does still logically behave as if EIAS, though.

That cited doc you mention doesn't actually seem to have a bearing in reality for some of its assertions, to my eyes. It would perhaps have "gotchas" for authors/users of scripts, but doesn't invalidate the EIAS core tenet. Additionally, that document was last edited 20 years ago. It's ancient, as is Tcl < 8.0.
This does nothing. The 'little guys' have gotten scape-goated.

I don't see Infosys, CapGemini, TCS (Tata Consultancy Services), Cognizant, Tech Mahindra or for that matter any of the Top 10 H1B Visa Abusers [1] in this List.

Business as Usual.

It's strikingly similar to the list of countries in the Trump's Muslim Ban wherein countries that sponsored terrorism, but that in which he had business interests in ,were not listed, incl. Saudi Arabia ( 15 of the 19 911 hijackers were Saudi Citizens)

EDIT: Addressing @praneshp's question. Microsoft might be a red herring, but the rest, esp. the Indian Companies like TCS, Infosys, Congnizant are also the TOP 10 Abusers of H1B Visa. Speaking from personal experience here. I've written at length about this on Quora, so don't want to re-hash it. You can read it here => https://www.quora.com/Being-on-H1B-is-it-worth-joining-TCS-i...

Not only do these Indian Companies abuse the H1B Visa program, but they also abuse and underpay the workers they bring on the H1B Program. I've written about this also in my Quora answer linked above.

A Raspberry Pi or similarly-cheap board would be my choice.
So just use cgit on your 128mb box and don't complain about gitlab? It's like installing Windows 10 on a machine with 1gb memory, starting Photoshop and complaining about swapping and that it's running slow.

Gitlab runs fine out of the box with 4gb memory and when screwing with some provided knobs it's fine with 2gb or less memory.

It's in the docs, it's in every FAQ, every Stackoverflow answer... so why the hate?

64mb memory? Use gitolite.
256mb memory? Use cgit + gitolite
1gb memory? use gitea or whatever else there is.
4gb memory? use gitlab if you want.

I'm not affiliated but I can't stand the "gitlab doesn't run on my home wifi router - it sucks" posts here... it works pretty well if you read & acknowledge the documentation and requirements.

A cheap[0] entry into a market with a lot of outdated established players. This is a classic potentially disruptive move.

I wouldn't say it's trivial, but it does probably save money overall. Highly educated workers are rare overall, and they smoke at much lower rates, so they barely count to the average. The elderly get an income enough to live off plus usually quite a lot of expensive healthcare for many other conditions - and I'm glad they do! But not for financial reasons.

Yes I also think it’s incredible that the court was convinced by redacted evidence to allow Mueller to question Target A and Target B’s attorney.
My suggestion would be to run sprints (Check out the book "Sprints"). The process of validating a market via leads and/or customer feedback shifts your team from theorizing to exploring. One founder mentor of mine said it well, "all startups are inevitable narratives in reverse, with a confusing reality of constant reinventions on the way there." That's what your team needs practice in - being a team in the midst of uncertainty. As a captain of several startups I can tell you the art is in navigating with a team, not possessing the conviction yourself. You guys have the financial background so do what you do best: pull data from mattermark, angellist, and accelerator acceptance announcements. Make a list of concepts you like and run sprints. Pit your ideas against the ones you test. You'd be surprised how much faster you'll get on your third sprint vs your first. At your stage of learning competitors are irrelevant. Building something people want is all that matters.
Huh? It's "astounding" to dislike groups that riot and attack people/property in the pursuit of political aims I disagree with? Is this some George W. Bush "you're either with us or against us" BS?
Mueller is hitting Manafort with everything to provide maximum leverage to flip him. I just hope Mueller has considered bringing state charges somewhere if possible, because there is a very real chance Trump will try to use the pardon power to get out of this.

Why is it one extreme or the other?

I defend decisions made by IDE developers because those are niche markets, but slack is not a niche market. They're "IRC for normies" (yes, yes, they fix a lot of cruft too but, it's effectively the same system).

We're not talking about hand optimised assembly, but maybe assuming that I'm going to throw 1/8th-1/3rd of my system resources into your IRC clone is not healthy.

the highest tier macbook pro can only handle 16G of memory. I had to get a special laptop (precision 5520) in order to get 32G of ram, which I feel is the only option that is future-proof for the next 3 years, and if everyone follows the slack model then it will be the minimum in less than that.
That's how Fedora/EL does it at least. GDB even tells you what debug info packages are missing

Accounting for country, education, and industry you really reduce the population you're sampling from but those deviations are huge. You need to account for industry especially.
I was curious how this was legal, but it looks like they're only required to accept cash as payment for debt. As long as no service is provided before you pay then it's legal to refuse cash.
Moms dying of high blood pressure is pretty different than a healthy kid with Down Syndrome being born. The percentage of Down Syndrome kids who don't survive to age 1 is less than 7% in the US. Down Syndrome is not a contributer to maternal mortality, either. It sounds like you're interested in having a different discussion.

Perhaps a discussion that you'd be interested in that is also related to maternal mortality (the topic of the article) is that abortion is currently safer than giving birth in the US. Or we could discuss the fact that in US jurisprudence and medical practice, infant survival is privileged over maternal survival.

Can someone with a better understanding of the medical industry comment about the quality of this device? It seems like a small portable ultrasound device would be a great thing for diagnosis. But I understand there are all kinds of issues that might not be obvious to people without a strong medical background.

Is this as good as it seems, or are there features this lacks which prevents it from being that useful in the hospital setting?
That's right. It's designed that way on purpose. A 30% decline in VTI will likely have no bearing on the other asset classes. Best case: the other asset classes overcompensate in value (see volatility harvesting) offsetting the crash. Worst case: you re-balance with a portion of the 25% cash you have on hand. As a concrete example, look at what this portfolio did in 2008.

Netflix would LOVE to provide their whole catalogue to their whole subscriber base. They'd be crazy not to. The more content they can offer, the better their service, the more subscribers they'll get.

They block VPN's and other tools because their contracts with content providers say so.

It even says it right in their terms of use

4.3. You may view the Netflix content primarily within the country in which you have established your account and only in geographic locations where we offer our service and have licensed such content.

Netflix is in the tough position of needing to know where you are -now-. VPN's mess with that.

Don't get me wrong, requiring someone to disable a VPN to use the service is bullocks. But some services don't have much of an option. From what I understand Netflix is aggressively trying to obtain world-wide rights for their whole library, but until the old dog content producers get on board they'll have a rough time.

One example: applying an effect to an image using custom JS.

I also once used this as a fun way to arrange the repeated string "FILE NOT FOUND" in the shape of the characters "404", using the system's native font.
I suppose the inaccuracies caused by the 'prose' of Ampère's false proof that all continuous functions are differentiabe might be what inspired Hilbert's demand for rigor. In turn, this lead to Godel's incompleteness.

We are then left in the curious situation of despising any hand waving, whilst knowing deep down that at some point we need to accept things without rigorous proof. Of course, that other reason to hand-wave remains. Often, things are `obvious' and yet very very tedious to proof. It is an odd balance to strike.

If you can spare an hour I highly recommend listening to this talk that Tom Kelley of IDEO gave on innovation and identifying problems as part of Stanford's Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders program:

http://ecorner.stanford.edu/podcasts/2054/Young-at-Heart-How...

The TLDR is to be aware of what is going on around you. He gives examples of that in action including a couple that stuck with me regarding the turnstiles at the Paris airport and children's toothbrushes. Things that are so obvious in retrospect but it takes stopping and observing in order to identify the problem.

My favorite quote from the talk, "Be childlike as often as possible. Be childish as little as you can."

(If you're looking to do something in financial services I think there are still a lot of problems that need to be solved and tons of opportunity over the next decade as demographics shift. Just think of what has happened in the past fifteen years. People used to do their banking in person. Now people even considering going to an ATM an inconvenience. Let's talk.)

Hey Seattle Founders, Need $100,000 in Funding? Pitch at GrowthHit's Office Hour
Yeah, this sort of thing is making quick inroads in prehospital care (this is far from the first portable ultrasound). Finding veins, FAST[1] scans, assessing the heart more directly during cardiac arrest, etc.

The interesting question is who/what does the diagnosis. I've had my kids fall over a bunch of times (with a couple broken bones in there - never ambiguous, sadly) and broken a couple bones in my life too (as well as done stuff that convinced me that something must be broken in there, when nothing was).

So I think there were essentially zero times when a cheap-hand-held ultrasound in that home would have added information. The question is really whether this could be enormously helpful to a GP? Can they be trained usefully to take over some of the role of an ultrasound technician and do first-line diagnosis? It'd be great to not have to do the standard schlep over to the diagnosis place, wait around, get the thing done, and wait to get the results back to the GP or specialist.

I imagine there's also a fair bit of computer "vision" work on this stuff too - I would presume people are working feverishly away on ways of reconstructing 3D imagery and actual diagnoses of an image via computer, as opposed to squinting at these mysterious pictures.
Less than $2 a day with resale value. And service costs more than $2 a day. So if you are given a free phone, you are still spending more than half as much as an iPhone X. If you get a "cheap" $500 phone you are spending at least 80% as much as an iPhone X.
A trivial use case would be to save a drawing the user has created as a jpg/png and allow the user to download it.
Empathy is a privilege of the wealthy. NFL is primarily consumed by people working three shifts desperately struggling to keep their life together.

I cannot fault people on the bottom not being particularly concerned about someone making millions. As a matter of fact lots of NFL players see their sport as a way out of the trailer park. Do you think the NFL players are stupid?

Let us have some empathy for the people who live in the underclass of society.
Asking because I have no clue: You just linked to the top-10 H1B holders, not abusers, no? I see Microsoft on that list, and find it difficult to believe they are abusers.

From what I know from extended family, firms like the ones in the link do things like faking a job/resume, etc. Do the large Indian firms do that as well, in addition to flooding the lottery pool?
I think most people don't really care that much how their fonts are rendered, or would even notice a change. (And no, I don't have data to back that up)

edit:

The emphasis here is on "most". In a world where an OS will have many millions of users, at least more than a few are going to care a lot about things like the differences between font renderers; programmers and graphic designers are no doubt among them. But the typical user? Without real data to back it up, count me as skeptical.

"Just don't use it" isn't a reasonable solution to something a gigantic portion of the world uses every day.

Arguments like these are about "how can we structurally change this problem so that society as a whole ends up in a better place".

Your "well, I do it better" anecdote is neat, but doesn't really help anyone.
I know Antifa is mostly white. That doesn't change anything in my view, because prejudice based on skin color is racism, no matter the color of the person holding that prejudice.
Indeed. It's clearly not meant to be a realistic or recommended approach. It's a practice of lateral thinking, an experiment to see how much of a problem you can solve with limited set of tools. It's easy to throw in every library, framework, technology at a problem, and they might not be necessary. Sometimes approaching a problem from this unusual perspective can yield good solutions. Often times, it's messy and hacky, but in either case you learn a lot along the way.
That's not how FDA approval works. It's actually easier for device approval when others entered the space first thanks to the "substantially equivalent" 510(k) process. Here's a link to Butterfly's premarket approval: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/cdrh_docs/pdf16/K163510.pdf
I somewhat miss XMPP.
macOS does have an autohinter, but it only makes very slight changes. More important is the stem darkening (which Apple calls font dilation), which distorts outlines to make fonts bolder at small sizes.

Windows actually has two font rasterizers: GDI, which lived in the kernel prior to Windows 10, and DirectWrite. GDI does no vertical antialiasing, but DirectWrite does. Both do vertical hinting, but only GDI does horizontal hinting. (With ClearType on, GDI applies a hacky subset of horizontal hints--Beat Stamm has documentation on it on his Web site.)

FreeType, naturally, can do all of the above (except the GDI hacks), depending on how you configure it.
It seems like the equation shown in the article doesn't satisfy the condition listed on the wikipedia page. Did the author make a mistake?

It's possibly completely a demographic change.

Back in 90's the internet was for the young, curious and open minded. And I mean like 5% of the most most open minded people around.

Now internet is for everybody. Maybe the average population just wants their media bit stale and censored.
In a hospital setting this isn't terribly useful. An ultrasound is not that big, and easily moved around on a small cart.

Small portable ultrasounds like this are gaining popularity in prehospital care (in ambulances, etc).

This isn't really a new concept though. Things like the GE Vscan have been around for years.
Nothing is perfect, but I'd trust it after doing a small trial, and maybe my own conversion mapping (e.g. 1=16, 2=14, 3=15, etc.) just to satisfy some amount of paranoia.

It is a configuration option, for sure. But I've never even heard of a VPN service that put multiple clients on the same subnet. It'd be a security nightmare. And I can't imagine what the advantage to the provider would be.

These articles explain the concept, but it takes nothing but SSH & Linux (albeit it can work on macOS too with additional software):

I've seen it done before where it was fully transparent to both networks. This required the tunnel to be setup on the default gateway for both networks. Again, as mentioned before and you agreed too, this is not a solution I would ever want to see in production for a company I was at.

Similar to the advice about trying to find problems rather than solutions, I would look at existing businesses that are doing well, but aren't executing well. The computer world is full of dominant products that were second to the market (despite what people think). Often teams have great ideas without great execution. You can capitalise on that and eat their lunch.

And like others comments have said, I would also start thinking very critically about your self assessment of having a "great team". I could give you 10 viable business ideas before breakfast (actually, it is before breakfast for me!) Ideas are cheap to the point of being worthless. If you don't realise that, it's because you are likely inexperienced. This is not a criticism, just an observation. I would start by cashing one of those "blank cheques" and go looking for someone with experience who can help you. You are looking for someone technical who can give you sound advice about how to execute well building a product from end to end.

You may be thinking that the technical person on your team is who you need. But what ever the academic credentials and how ever smart the person is, execution relies on having done it all before. It relies on having failed a hundred times before finally finding the one way that works.

Finally, no matter if you follow my previous advice or not, begin by beginning. Like I said, good ideas are so common that they are worthless. You will either succeed through good execution or good luck. So start. Follow this advice: http://wiki.c2.com/?PlanToThrowOneAway
I have an idea called Check Your Bias which is basically to make readers more attuned to detecting bias in news they are reading by selecting words they think convey the authors opinion and gamifying “guessing” how right or left an article is.

Microsoft hires thousands of H1B workers for generic roles like project manager and software developer.

Do you really think there aren’t Americans that could fill those roles? Of course there are but it would cost more. A true shortage would not affect Microsoft at all. They have as much money as anyone.

This is a dirty secret of tech that you can’t discuss without being labeled racist or xenophobic no matter how untrue that is.
