> in fiction it's easier to depict that as a virtual space

Not really! Watts does something a lot closer to what you describe with "ConSensus" in Blindsight, and handles it deftly enough. I think it's more just that the idea of VR as virtual space was the dominant metaphor of its time, and contemporary fiction reflects that time every bit as much as Watts's ConSensus - thought-controlled wireless information access, rendering to the
optic nerves - reflects its own.

I think the persistence of the older style has to do partly with the fact that we can't yet implement the newer one no matter how much more useful it would actually be, and partly with the fact that VR metaverses look really cool in demos.
Ford or GM couldn't possibly do what? Pre-sales? The new Ford GT cost $450K and will only be available to select buyers during the first production year. I imagine GM does something similar with the higher-end Corvettes. Dodge did the same with Viper.
In the US, I suppose. Though this seems to be the way the job is sold in many other places.
Large tracts of Africa have 10 points shaved off their average IQ because of parasite infestation, if you get bilharziosis in early childhood it really makes you more stupid. Malaria doesn't help either, also because it causes you to miss school.

Fun fact: South Korea had a very serious schistosome problem, too. Merck discovered Praziquantel in the early 1970s, it's the only medication that really works but Merck could not provide doses at a price the country could afford. So South Korean chemists got to work and developed their own process, and it gave the Korean chemical industry a big boost. Shinpoong still produce 50 % of the world's supply of praziquantel.

I checked the TechShop reviews on Glassdoor a month or so ago. While you have to put all such reviews through a b.s. filter of your own design, the overall impression was that the business was sinking and that management was wildly out of touch. Looks like some of that was accurate.

You often end up carrying more fuel than you need so you can buy it in cheaper places. And then there’s the whole art of timing your fuel stops around the weigh stations...

That’s not that crazy if they can actually deliver on the operating cost savings they’re claiming. Big if though.
In this thread: Microsoft aligns their business interests with open source projects and extends financial support to those projects, therefore they must be trying to destroy open source, force everyone to run Windows, and have Linus Torvalds assassinated.

Have you ever met people who work at Microsoft? The Microsoft engineers are just engineers like you and I. Some of them are some of the best and brightest in the industry. Microsoft has made major contributions to technology that some people just aren’t aware of or don’t seem to care about. The “evil” that existed at Microsoft was largely an upper management issue. There has been significant change in upper management.

But here’s what’s important. Ask yourself where Microsoft’s interests lie today. Their goal is to get people on Azure. They don’t give a damn if you run Linux or Windows Server. They aren’t stupid enough to fail to realize that ship has already sailed. They’ll keep developing and selling Windows Server to the people who depend on it and collect that revenue, but the future for them is Azure. And that doesn’t require that they extinguish or destroy anything.

I would also like to say that members of the open source community have taken jobs at Microsoft, obviously convinced that Microsoft’s private plans match their ideals and principles moving forward.

TL;DR If Microsoft’s profit motive in Azure aligns with open source, why do so many people continue to need to infer sinister motives?

Not sure what the margin of error is on these things, but generally 97% should probably be considered 100%.
I think this had less to do with Let's Encrypt, and more to do with the fact that StartCom's root certificates were distrusted by nearly all major browser vendors some time ago due to [their parent company's violations of the Baseline Requirements](https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA:WoSign_Issues).
That's basically all this is, but with fewer commands to remember and modify. I think that's quite useful, especially when under lots of time pressure.

In an economy with a very broad and strong middle class and less extreme income distribution, the working class can demand higher wages than the middle class can afford. This was the case in the US during its strongest economic periods in the second half of the 20th century.

I agree. In fact, I started to realize I've been using sites like The Pirate Bay just to get a sense of what people are watching, new releases etc. Ratings would tend to be very low, of course, it's their culture to say that any movie sucks; but at least I can get a list of titles and then search for them in paid service providers.
One interesting thing that rtags does is provide a gcc/clang wrapper script. You make symlinks to it called cc/c++/gcc/g++/etc. in a folder that's in PATH ahead of wherever gcc/clang proper live. When invoked, the script submits an appropriate tags job to the rtags server, complete with compile flags actually used, then passes the command line on to the appropriate tool so that the compile actually gets done.

So quite often you won't need to do anything. (If you use CMake, you will have to rebuild your Ninja/make files after first setting this up.)

I didn't find rtags perfect. There were a few files that it simply never seemed to create tags for, and the rtags setup is complicated enough that I couldn't quickly figure out why, so I just put up with it. But when it works, it works very well...

(This sort of thing seems to be par for the course with this kind of tool. I've seen a number of people complain about how terrible Visual Studio's code browsing is, for example, but it's been a long time since I've had a problem with it...)
Clean Code vs. Dirty Code: React Best Practices
If a single CD contains (say) 10 songs, then it seems odd to compare the cost of a listening to a cd to streaming a single song. Listening to the whole CD would be the equivalent of 10 streams.

And if we divide those 238 streams by the 10 songs on the CD, it seems as though we only need to listen to a cd about 25 times before streaming becomes a better option for the artist.
This would be a great TV show.
I think people who have always used iphones seriously underestimate how good google has become at this.
I have been thinking about this recently and come to the following conclusion:

- If you receive a call, it breaks your flow, which is bad.

- If you send an email, it breaks your flow, which is bad. (As you have to wait for an answer, and do something else in the meantime.)

So if you have a question, the optimal strategy (for you) is to make a call. But if someone else has a question, the optimal strategy (for you) is they email you.

There's even a further level, which is that if someone else has a question, it's optimal (for you) that they email you, and you call them to give your answer, and discuss it until it's done.

So if it's up to you (and you're thinking only about your own productivity above all else) then tell people to email you when they need something, but call them when you need something.
Agreeing with you, mini rant time:

Why in the fuck do desktop computers have user-based permission models? Don't answer that, I know why, it's because they inherited them from the server-OS ancestors, but it's retarded. Desktops are personal computers, there is no reason to stop the user from doing what they want because it is their computer. Some might say, "oh, well, we can protect the system from malicious software by limiting user access to it" and they're correct, but who gives a shit? If my OS gets destroyed I'll reinstall it. It's a bit of a pain, but whatever. What's really important to me are my documents, my work, and the user-permission model does jack and shit for protecting those as the ransomware wave proved.

Application-oriented permissions are the obvious and correct way to do things in personal computing.
That is a very concise way of saying something I've struggled to articulate well in the past.

Sometimes stuff like this is a horrible idea. Sometimes you need it. If you lock out the entirety of the "sometimes you need it" use cases as "too dangerous if applied en masse", you cripple yourself. Remember: not everyone has the time to do it right (the time they have might be measured in minutes or seconds before a push or bugfix), or the wherewithal or ability to even learn how. You can lament that reality if you like, but tools that accept it will be useful anyway.
Ask HN: What's a good long term incentive plan for a bootstrapped team?
This question is for bootstrapped companies that want to provide a long term incentive plan to its key employees.

Some potential plans I've seen include deferred compensation, phantom equity, or a simple profit pool. The first two can even be funded with life insurance or annuities, which can create tax free growth or tax deductions for the company.

Do you have any experience with these plans as an employee or employer of a bootstrapped company? What plan would you recommend? Are there any pitfalls to avoid here?
I'm surprised no one has noted the copyright is to Design Science - this is a small company in my hometown who are still around. I've spoken with their CEO a few times and I wouldn't be at all surprised if the source code was lost, or somehow at least wasn't being made available to Microsoft (I doubt it ever was). It's a really old school shop who seems to have largely been coasting on the licensing of this one component for the past couple decades and I wouldn't at all be shocked to find they no longer are capable of maintaining it themselves.
Rtags is great for code browsing, but completion is slow and dumb.

Yes but in those cars traction control is usually off. In Tesla extremely precise traction control may work in your favour giving only as much power as tires can handle effectively allowing to near zero time loss on regaining tracktion. In quarter mile cars you don't have option, either tire will handle all that power or slip causing time loss.

I'm on the monthly donation to Watsi, which is another product they don't mention in the article. I don't pick people to cure like the article suggests.

They do send me emails about patients that I've contributed to. But I don't know who they are ahead of time. It's kind of a gimmick I guess, but a useful way to retain contributors by reminding them what their money is going towards.

I believe their model is to raise from investors to cover overheads, but donations go directly to treatments. You have an assurance (as far as those go) that what you donate is not paying salaries of management. That hopefully has a propensity to make the operation more frugal and efficient.

A useful reading if you want to understand what happens if a patient is "not picked":

> there are no regulations on how much you are allowed to drink

Counterexample: drink-driving blood alcohol limit.

> So you're saying it's ok for the government to manipulate you, but not a company, because their goal isn't a vague idea of societal good, it's to make more money?

In the right area, sort of (manipulation generally bad but a few things can override the badness) but I would say that governments are (in theory) democratically accountable, whereas business are legally and financially accountable. Yes, people do vote for dumb laws, but in principle that can be undone by another vote, businesses only get in trouble with their shareholders if the government doesn’t limit their behaviour.

While I agree with the point that it would be better if it wasn’t “so easy to generate huge databases of people and claim ownership over them, and it definitely shouldn't be so easy to use those social ties to create an addiction“, I don’t have any long term solutions. At some point the collective footprint of someone’s public statements on the internet is such a database, albeit in the informal sense of the word and spread over dozens of unconnected businesses, and demonstrating that the information has been used to cause addiction is more difficult than demonstrating tax avoidance.

I really fail to see how "Go's idioms around error handling" would make NPE rarer than in Java either.

In java, an error is an exception and will bubble up to the handler, it has very little reason to "birth" null references.

In Go, an error is a non-nil value next to a zero (often nil) value, and a success is the reverse, so error handling always injects new nils which you're supposed to carefully not used (since no sum types).

Rust would have to have a significant and meaningful presence in the commercial space for this exploitation you mention to exist. It doesn't. Rust adoption right now is trivial and tiny compared to commercial programming at large.

Rust is a great language with some over-zealous fans who seem to not understand that frothing at the mouth about how C and C++ are literally weapons of murder and how Rust-safety is the most important thing any programmer should think about for any project is...not the best way to advocate for the language.
I believe the main reason for why European trucks look soi different is regulations. European trucks have a length limit that covers the tractor as well as the trailer. Because you want to maximize the cargo space, the tractor is made as short as possible and gets this very un-aerodynamic shape. The truck in essence gets the shape that best fills in all permitted space. In addition they don't have plows or similar that make them take less damage in collisions because Europeans instead minimize the damage to people hit by the truck. Given the US doesn't have those regulations you really need different trucks and one truck won't work in the other market.

It makes sense in large European cities because people won't take their car (if they even have one) because transit is more expensive during rush hour, instead they will try to adjust the time they use transit.

From a very crass and cynical perspective, but probably accurate, as Google and Facebook become more powerful, they can and should expect opposition from all previously entrenched power centers. It would be a very, ah, Silicon Valley utopian nerd idea, for lack of a better phrase, that it could otherwise. And even if there are some ideological lines drawn, well, even people on the "same side" still jockey for position and work at cross-purposes at times. If Google and Facebook are agreed to skew left, yeah, you can probably expect a bit more vigor in the right side attacks if only because they have more operating space, but you can still expect plenty of left-wing "jockeying", and that the latter may even have a greater effect over time. (Could go either way, assuming you can even agree on a basis for measurement.)
This seems like the "Copenhagen Interpretation of Ethics". If there is a problem unrelated to you, under this concept you are free to ignore it, and no one will blame you, because it is someone else's problem. But when you do anything to help, you become entangled with the problem, and then of course people can blame you for any imperfection.

There's no margin of error for the test they did, just potential sampling bias.

Given the 5000 questions they asked, the system will provide the wrong answer 2.6% of the time. Every time, until they improve it. There's a chance that they managed to ask the only 150 questions that it doesn't know the answer to, but not a very big one.
Now that seems like a good place to work!
Instagram’s Billion Dollar Mind Trick: Internal Triggers
At 7 lbs a gallon for diesel most semis can carry 200 gallons so add an extra 1000lbs if you like, the Tesla still has to make up 5000 lbs while having 1/3rd the range.

Timing stops for megachargers will be a whole lot more difficult than truck stops until they are as ubiquitous. If you have to use a plain old supercharger your talking 8-10 hours for a charge, don't even bother with a normal plug of any kind.
The repo doesn't get big because the dependencies are huge at a point in time (though they may be); it gets big because they change over time, and history gets huge and intensely messy in this situation. Shallow clones, branching, and fetch tuning are band-aids on this, which, over enough time (which in practice can be as short as months on a big project being iterated on by tons of people) will still cause clone/deployment problems, repo storage problems, and lost time.
And don't start with the "well then just break it up into multiple git repos!" stuff. That's not only incredibly hard to do in practice/in the face of legacy, but it's fundamentally just another constant-factor mitigation on the problem.
Sometimes, checking in all the deps makes sense. Sometimes it doesn't. Big node projects are a situation where it often doesn't.

> namely uneven power delivery and physical limitations on peak RPMs. An electric motor has none of these problems.

Electric motors do actually have an uneven response at different RPMs (in the form of back-emf losses). I worked for a while with an electric car team in university, and we used a mechanical system to adjust the stator position and tune the motor for different RPMs. I’m not sure what Tesla is doing to address this (could be mechanical or solid state), but you definitely can’t just keep dumping more power into a motor and expect it to get correspondingly faster, not even as a reasonable approximation.

> Anyway, I'm not quite sure how is that different from, say, Ruby's begin...rescue.

Ruby lets you write foo(bar(baz())), the rescue block will just coalesce errors in any of the three calls.

And because Go has no generics and its errors are not reified (handled through MRV which is a special language construct) you can't build abstractions like flatmap/then/>>= which would let you compose these functions (or function calls), you have to handroll every instance.
