Well, among other things, we want a future where people without two functioning legs, a healthy heart, and healthy legs can participate. Also pregnant women, families with small children, etc.

Agreed, though, that simple timeless things, like meals with friends and family, are underrated in these futurist visions.

You’re referring to a mobile application that inherently has a slower release cadence - certainly for Apple with their verification process.

A web app can be released multiple times an hour if the business has confidence in its automated tests and release plan.
> I should choose an instrument that uses single notes, it might be easier.

I'd say the easiest / most immediately rewarding way is to pick up a guitar or similar (banjo / uke / banjolele / mandolin etc) and learn a few chords. Although people who can do that aren't exactly in demand so there's a case for learning the onde martineau or glass harmonica or something - that way if you get decent at it you can actually get paid to do it.
Honestly, VC is probably one of the least attractive investment opportunities around. It's a crapshoot, very high risk, and the returns (if you even get any) are low.

It's a lot easier making money through Private Equity deals.

If I had $100m, I wouldn't be putting it in a VC fund. Not saying I wouldn't make direct investments, but I would only make those on the assumption the money is gone.

I don't think anyone makes investments in the stock market and private equity on the assumption the money is gone.

Agreed.

I'm seeing a lot of outrage, especially on left leaning sites, at the direction the FCC is headed under the current administration.

But to me, it really just looks like a lot of the power that SV has amassed over the past 15 years is being returned to the more traditional media cartels and access providers.

Yea, my sympathy level is pretty close to zero. Both of these "companies" are examples of how Amazon is full of dropshippers selling identical white-label knock-offs using 16 different brand names. If this is entrepreneurship, it's pretty sad.
I don't think this will make a big dent on account of geometry being fundamentally simpler and easier to reason about than language in general, and thus mathematicians dealing in geometry have a much more workable framework for employing an algebraic approach than do computer scientists.

I think if these ideas were going to be revolutionary, they'd already have been. They're not new, unfamiliar, or esoteric, they are in standard curricula.
I'm curious: why and how do you think Exterior Algebra will have such an impact on programming in general? What programming constructs that EA capture that are currently not well-abstracted (apart from graphics/linear algebra)? And can EA not be expressed anyway in modern languages with expressive typing systems such at Haskell/Scala which even have higher-kinded types?
We have a similar plasma model, which we got for free because the owners were upgrading to a new one. I love how it doesn't do anything except display signals; we pair it with a Chromecast for most things. Of course, the electricity cost of a plasma TV adds up over the years...
PM for Git at Microsoft here. We explored splitting it up. It's a 300GB repository and it's been a monorepo for the last 20 years. Splitting it up logically would take a lot of time (to put it mildly) and development would stall while we did it. And once we did, we would have 100 3.5GB repositories? 3500 100MB repositories? Neither of these are particularly appealing and getting changes checked in atomically across multiple repositories is insanely challenging. There's no doubt that we would need to build tooling to make this work for us. (We did actually explore this direction, but ultimately decided that it would be too much work for too poor an experience.)

Instead, we decided to - as you put it - change Git to fit our needs.

Zoning is terrible. And height restrictions are a serious problem. The Space Needle and the Boeing airport nearby are seriously constraining building in the area. There was a massive downtown apartment tower that was (maybe still is?) going to be built that was running into big problems because it might be too tall for the airport. And in surrounding areas, the locals don't want their views spoiled so forget anything more than 3 or 4 stories. I lived in West Seattle, which had as many apartments as it could handle being built, but none above 3 or 4 stories. Its like people think that holding onto these utopic view of how Seattle should never change is somehow going to solve everything. The only way these issues will be fixed is through compromise and hard work. As it stands, I don't know how Seattle can hit a million people and still work properly.

>Anecdotally though, I've met plenty of coders who did this to themselves by refusing to learn more about the domain or the business.

Anything outside of learning enough to do your job should be at the business's expense.

1) some fields are not good for self-teaching. It leaves the possibility open to misunderstanding and writing code to that misunderstanding

2) the business will probably have a good idea of conferences and workshops that impart the knowledge the business is looking for

3) this is more fuel for "unpaid studying outside of work hours"

Based on posts like this, it seems really dumb to enter software first -- better to get a degree in some other technical field and just teach yourself to code.

Good problems to have are still problems and can still cause you to go out of business. Car manufacturing is all about logistics, quality and capital management. Fail at any one of those three and your car company will fail. There is a pretty good reason why there has been a huge consolidation happening in the car industry over the last 30 years, getting those things right isn't easy at all.
In many environments, you probably can do a lot of that learning at work, just by talking more than strictly necessary to people having the knowledge.

I was recently looking for a 4K TV to use as a monitor and was reading good things about Samsung when one of the reviews mentioned this advertising stuff in a single sentence somewhere near the bottom.

There is no indication that the TED attendees were taking advantage of a power differential. So it would appear that we are working with multiple definitions.
What brand and model?
PM at Microsoft here. TFVC is completely different, though.

(To quickly clarify nomenclature: TFVC is "Team Foundation Version Control", the name of the centralized version control system in TFS and VSTS, which are our on-premises and cloud hosted development platforms, respectively. They both support both TFVC and Git - Git with GVFS, and they do more than just version control, hence the naming clarification. Apologies for all the three letter acronyms.)

Anyway, TFVC is totally different and a centralized version control system with all the workflows that go along with it like expensive branching. The desire to move to Git opens up all the awesome workflows that Git offers.

The impetus here was to standardize the entire company on a modern set of development tools - one engineering system across the company - hosted in Visual Studio Team Services. We could have moved them to TFVC, it's remarkably similar to its predecessor, "Source Depot" which is a Microsoft internal tool that the Windows team was using.

But that's a lateral move. There aren't really any benefits to TFVC over Source Depot except that we sell and support one to end users and don't with the other. So that has some nice organizational benefits but not enough to warrant moving everybody and the build/release farms over.

But moving to Git unlocks all sorts of new workflows - lightweight branching, pull requests, all that good stuff that everybody who uses Git is totally used to.

Anyway, that's the background on Git vs TFVC. And, no, I totally agree that Git not supporting giant monorepos is not a failing, per se. But it is a limitation, and thankfully one that we're working to help overcome.
In other words, the kickstarter donation model, with kickstarter the company removed from the equation. Makes sense, for certain use cases, but those use cases are not investments, in exactly the same way as kickstarter donations are not investments.

No it’s not. I might want instant rollback on large databases on a development machine. Others might want transparent compression and send/receive on a small device. Neither has anything to do with “complete protection” yet both are easy to accomplish with ZFS.

There are a whole slew of reasons to run ZFS outside of mass redundant storage with “complete protection.” The decision to use ECC or not has nothing to do with ZFS. You may as well ask someone who is building an ext4 file server machine whether they “used ECC RAM”; it’s just as relevant.

Yet no one does that for EXT4 and they do it all the time for ZFS, because of one stupid post on the FreeNAS forums that has been roundly debunked a half-dozen times.

It'd add even more value if companies spent more on proper training. Maybe even training geared for software devs learning the field from that perspective if that's available.

Honestly I just feel like you may have wielded judgement too hastily at the expense of your sense of wonder and shared joy in someone exploring territory that is well trodden only to relatively few. Very few people have a solid grasp of musical theory. For most people, scaling what may to you be barely the foothills of knowledge is a great and challenging experience, and I think it should be celebrated.

And sure, perhaps you and I can easily distinguish the subtle difference between 'Musicians always use chords' (obviously wrong) and 'Musicians always work, individually or together, within a key, which is an abstracted but well-defined set of tones that can be combined in time series or simultaneously to produce an inexplicably pleasant experience in the listener, by some neurological magic that has never been adequately explained' (non-obviously correct) but y'know what, I actually am willing to let little gems like that slide because they're adequate approximations of the truth that allow good folks to proceed on a journey that may one day lead them to, just maybe, have the arrogance required to belittle the uninitiated.

I think that if someone chooses engineering then he must love to learn.
For me it would be too boring to do the same thing for my whole life, I always try to learn more languages, more paradigms, architectures and whatever.
I can jump in the code of a different team and be immediately productive.
Usually I suggest and implement small changes that have a large impact on the maintanability of the system as soon as I start to grasp it as a whole.
I couldn't ever do it if I stayed in the same field, in the same environment, for all my life.
I think that if someone expects to work in a field doing the same thing for the majority of his career then probably should not choose engineering.

It’s worth remembering that trust is not binary, and not the only criteria for a good system.

You can have a solution that requires trust and is better than a trustless one for a variety reasons. Also, within trust-requiring systems you have ones that are safe and less safe.
>If SVN is a terrible application with no merits to large developers like MS, why did it exist in the first place?

Where's the contradiction? All kids of terrible apps exist. Terribleness and existence are not mutually exclusive qualities.

(Assuming SVN is terrible, of course, which I didn't say. I'd say SVN was a attempt to go beyond CVS with some shortcomings that don't make it the best available option today).

>If the features SVN brings over git are not considered detrimental by Torvalds, why did he create his own VCS with them removed, and why hasn't he added them back in?

Lots of possible answers (given the assumption in your "if"):

E.g. he might not consider them detrimental for other people and use cases, but he doesn't need them for his use case (Linux kernel development) either.

Or he thinks that while they might be good, they complicate things too much, and he prefers a more minimum feature set.
The small, early order is Walmart not assuming those things.

Is mandatory research ethics reviewing ethical?
Microsoft PM here. It's important to note that Hg also had similar constraints. So Facebook was in a position of having to fix Git or Hg to suit their needs. It turns out that for a variety of factors, Hg was the better choice for them to hack on.

Microsoft took the same look and went the opposite direction, and decided that Git was easier for us to hack on. This was a no brainer for us. We build multiple tools that host peoples Git repositories (TFS and VSTS) and have Git repositories as deployment mechanisms for Azure. We have several contributors to tools in the Git ecosystem on staff, including people contributing to core git, and the maintainer for Git for Windows, libgit2 and LibGit2Sharp. But we have comparatively little institutional knowledge of Hg.

That post you linked is awesome. Facebook has done a lot of really impressive work scaling Hg and a lot of the lessons learned at Facebook and implementations in Hg are very similar to what we've done with Git.

This video from Durham Goode on Facebook's version control team (from Git Merge, amusingly) is also awesome:

Really great simple interface which enabled and encouraged me to jump right into it!

Some feedback I'd like to give:

- First thing I noticed was that I'd like to re-order the habits to give them a priority.

- The 'streak counter' didn't change when I entered the past few days of accomplished habits. I've ticked off the current week and the counter still sits at 0.

- On first use, it'd be great to enter a streak further back than the current week. For example, I know an existing habit streak from Duolingo or a meditation app. Being able to enter these as pre-existing when I start using Helix would be great, so that the numbers match up. Bonus points for not making me manually check every single box of an existing two-months streak. :)
Historically, people have been killed for way less than metaphors.

I think there's a chance a handful of blockchain projects will have enough utility to be sustainable long term, but almost certainly not at the valuations that are common currently. But the vast majority of them have zero long term value. The way I see it crypto is winner-take-most. There's room for one "currency" that can potentially have a Trillion+ market cap, followed by a couple of niche utility projects with maybe around 100M market cap at best, and the rest are utterly worthless.
