Interesting. I had read a BYTE magazine article about Modula-2, back in the day. This was after having been a fairly heavy Turbo Pascal user for a while. Never got to try it out, but from the article, I thought Modula-2 seemed like a good language, a sort of better Pascal in some ways, and good for systems programming.

In those days BYTE used to have very good and interesting article about all kinds of both hardware and software topics, and not only mainstream (at the time) ones either. E.g. there was an issue dedicated to Lisp and another one dedicated to Smalltalk, IIRC. Later it got more commercialized, with less good content, shorter and less in-depth articles, and more ads.

Some old BYTE articles or issues are there on the Internet Archive.
I feel the web is so much faster on my phone since I started using brave and blocking all js by default. It's surprising how many pages load just fine with no javascript. Most HN articles do.

> I'm not arguing if its right or wrong, but the author sure doesnt seem like they understand what theyre talking about.

I think they understand - to a point. It's just a few steps removed from what they normally think of, so is easily confused as "from thin air".

If they solicited people to draw doodles and simple cartoons in their free time and send them in, and they would auction those off, it wouldn't be "from thin air".

If you have your computer randomly generate fractals or images and send them in and people purchase the aesthetically pleasing ones, that's also not "from thin air". You've just traded your direct effort for use of your computer, which includes increased energy costs, and possibly slowed computer usage.

Replace images that are aesthetically pleasing for a bit of cryptographic hashing that helps the whole market, and you're where we're at today. Costs are there, they are just so small as to be easily lost in the rest of your costs, and the work is there, just abstract and automatic enough that it's easy to not realize it's work. Fundamentally it's no difference than everybody contributing a doodle though.

I expect you are exactly correct on the narrative angle. Which is sad because there are so many great stories of people who worked on someone else's technology and then branched out and started their own. The Fairchild => Intel story is just one such example. And it makes me sad when the 'narrative' interferes with the goal. If the goal is to develop a vibrant CPU/semiconductor capability in India then that effort is cultivated by minimizing risk where possible and leveraging other work. And leveraging ARM would be a great way to train up on all the things you have to have/do in order to support a range of offerings for a given ISA.

As for abrasiveness, I read it as a passion more than insult. I also read it as a signal of frustration and I like to understand the roots of the frustration in order to improve things.
Typical bails are so small already that I can't seem to get riled up over this particular "injustice".

An assault and battery charge will generally get you a $10K bail. Assuming the typical bondsman charges 10%, that's a measly $1,000 to be walking the streets again after assaulting someone.

I can already hear the stampede of justice troopers coming to tell me that $1,000 of emergency funds is too much to ask of your average accused criminal. How many of you would be amenable to say, a $100 charge for an ankle bracelet? Or a work-release program that allows them to attend work while waiting for trial?
That’s the first I’ve heard of sliceplanner which looks interesting. Are you using an official sliceplanner journal so you can benefit from the cloud ‘sync’, or just copying the radial calendar idea into a regular paper journal? The one way manual sync seems a bit gee-whiz since the biggest issue for most would be getting calendar invites from the cloud back onto paper.
I haven't had a chance to go through the new marketing stuff, but the original terminology of drip referred to the actions of the creators - not the payments. Albums and tracks released by labels were called "drips", not what we paid for them.

And as I pointed out, drip.com was originally registered by this service. They moved off that domain a few years ago and it was eventually taken up by the current occupants.
I never thought of it that way before. This whole time the border wall was really just a branding statement. Thank you for enlightening us.
Thx Buro9
So basically there's zero evidence in the paper that capsule networks require fewer training examples, correct?
Does that work well with multi device updates? What happens if two devices write to the database and then sync?
Parent's point is that high school should serve as the broad base of understanding in civics, arts, history, lit, etc. and by the time you're in university, you should be focusing on your major.

I've casually suggested this to some people involved in Fedora. FWIW I think it would be a good idea, and I think at this point the retention of the FPCA by Fedora is mostly a matter of inertia.

But I share jwildeboer's sentiment, having been directly involved in the drafting of the FPCA to replace the old Fedora CLA. If one looks at the FPCA in historical context, it may be clearer that it is intended as an "un-CLA".

One could argue that the DCO is a type of CLA. I know some people who call the DCO a contributor agreement, at least, and if it is a contributor agreement, it is one that refers to licensing of what's being contributed.

Anyway, kudos to Gitlab for switching to the DCO!
Flappy bird? so what? right?
I don't think we are. 1Password X is a purely in browser app. It doesn't have local access to your files, it is an extension. The only way for it to get data is from some server outside, i.e. cloud.
Don't try to see the malicious intent where it was just practical decision.

At the moment this is the only way to get 1Password to work on Linux (except older OPW4 with local sync support under Wine). I personally happy about it. You don't have to be, if you don't use cloud. No one pushes you.

This is the case since late 2015, and they haven't budged since. If you want to provide a @2x image to look nice on hi-dpi, or simple responsive elements, you are out of luck. It worked fine before, I really don't get why this is being ignored. At my job we went so far as experimenting with image-rendering: optimize-contrast, but it doesn't work well for logos / solid shapes, so we have to live with blurry crap in the most popular browser.

I recon two of the most common reasons people leave are boredom and unsatisfying career progression. So all you have to do is ensure people have interesting work

My current job is very interesting - I’m leading a team building a brand new green field system and building a modern software development shop simultaneously (CI/CD, automated testing, newest version of everything), I have almost complete autonomy in how things are architected and the resources (money, people) to make it happen.

But once I get done, I don’t see anything the company can do to keep my job “interesting”.

If you were on the iPhone team in 2006 at Apple, what could Apple possibly do to keep you from getting bored?
One person already controlling an overwhelmingly large portion of Bitcoin, and you are still worrying about government...

Logic, people...
So instead of running WinForms or Qt or GTK or, god help us, Swing, components in a tight, snappy desktop app, we're mostly running Bootstrap components in a webview. Six of one, half-dozen of the other, in my book.

The Stockholm syndrome around using browser technology everywhere, just because you've been brutalized into learning its wrinkles to work on the web, is scary.
Yeah, now you're doing some sort of logical yoga, with an added dose of maybe-identured-servitude-was-actually-great-relativism.

Also, if I did "something about people using [chemical weapons]" wouldn't many of the things I would do qualify as useless non-technical progress? After all it's not technology that stops the US from dropping Sarin on ISIS, but the Chemical Weapons Convention.
Short answer: it's a Reddit community full of idiots.

More relevant answer in this case: it's a term frequently used as a cudgel to shut down conversation. It's a fallacy of association, and thus can be safely ignored.

That sort of thing.
Too little and too late. It took then years to finally announce (partial) Linux support. By this time most multiplatform users like myself tired of waiting and switched to other password managers like LastPass.
All you have to do is arrest people converting rebel cryptocurrencies into the one you can use at the grocery store. Since every transfer of legitimate money is now in the blockchain, they'll be able to identify them pretty quickly. Not sure if a government in turmoil could do it, but it's easy for a stable repressive regime.

I agree the government doesn't get any benefit from decentralization and would just have a MySQL DB in real life to make corruption and whatnot easier, but cryptocurrencies only work if the government tolerates them.
I feel like there are whales that simply manipulate the price based on news. There's little evidence to suggest bitcoin has any usage in zimbabwe in practical day to day usage.

Therelies the problem with bitcoin, why would someone in zimbabwe pay 1 week of their salary to move 3 weeks of pay and still not be sure if the money will still be there tomorrow?
Nothing really. He is offended by that FAQ, obviously the game isn't for him.
It's okay for front-line devs to think this, but when the people in charge of salary and hiring believe it, your team ends up a crew of fresh graduates herded by a senior dev who is exclusively occupied with making sure the junior devs don't make things worse.

And most failures of junior devs (breaking stuff) are considered the responsibility of the senior dev managing them, so the senior dev bears just as much responsibility as before but now with less control and more unpredictability. It is certainly good to have juniors on the team, but managing them should not take the greatest part of your senior devs' time, and your product should not be written exclusively by juniors.

Some CEOs deflect accusations of cheapness by claiming they don't want "rockstars/divas," but that's a personality trait, not a skill, and the crappiest of crappy junior devs are certainly capable of embodying rockstar arrogance.

Most work is tweaking an existing codebase, and quick fluency in arbitrary code written by strangers is definitely not a junior-level skill. In fact, CS-heavy stuff with little external integration is perfect for fresh graduates, as they did learn it in school.
This looks really neat. As a side note, it bothers me a bit that they haven't used an actual URI, e.g. tty:xxxxxxxx-xxxx-... That would allow for nice hyperlinks from web pages and chat rooms.

A 1080Ti will mine 0.0396XMR every 24hours (yielding $4.71 at current prices).

Presumably a CPU will fare significantly worse?

Exchange fees and tx costs are negligible (especially compared to the variation in elec prices depending on where you live).

Edit: as I understand it there's really no such thing as an ASIC resistant coin. Rather there's just an understanding that if ASICs get produced for XMR/VTC the devs will change the algorithm and fork the coin. If that's the case, surely these PoW coins are still susceptible to needing more and more hash power for a return as difficulty goes up (though perhaps less aggressively/rapidly compared to BTC?)?
I'm not saying doing what I described is immoral. It's just incredibly stupid.
Do you mean “win” compared to the counterfactual where the house has appreciated and you don’t move to a similar one, or compared to the counterfactual where the house didn’t appreciate and you move to another one at the original price?

If there had been no appreciation, your final wealth (cash + home equity) would be lower than in the case where the houses are more expensive, even after paying taxes, so it’s hard to see where is the loss.

But of course if you expect prices to go down it’s a good idea to avoid paying taxes on a gain that may be reduced in the future.
Destroying the paid market for a minimum standard of existence is the whole rassafrassin' point! The idea that you have to pay something if you want to continue living is the root cause of trade relationships that are fundamentally skewed against the already-disadvantaged party.

You give everyone the bare minimum for free, and charge for anything on top of that. It's the freemium model applied to national economies, and the market for smartphone apps suggests that it would work fine. People complaining about pay-to-win are preferable to those complaining about pay-to-not-die.

It doesn't have to be communism where the government owns a government corn field and government trucks and government dispensaries, so that it can distribute corn to the residents. It could also be acceptance of those specific foundation goods and services in lieu of cash taxes, where your cash dividend from shares in AgriCorp is not taxed, because the company already paid that tax in the form of truckloads of UBI corn. And your dividend from TransporTech is not taxed, because the company already paid that tax by moving that UBI corn from the grain elevator to the distribution points. And your dividend from Grocerino is not taxed, because the company already paid that tax by giving up shelf space and administering the food part of the ration card system. Or maybe your salary from nonprofit FoodServ Inc is not taxed, because that company moves that UBI corn into the food deserts where the for-profit grocery stores either do not have a presence or choose to not pay their taxes in-kind.
I've been paying attention to how slow the web is these days, and just as often as not I can finish a newspaper article (by far the worst offenders in 3rd Party API callouts) before the tab's page-loading indicator completes.
Technical interviews are just a form of an expensive filter that works for big companies and should be considered as a warmup.
As I understand it, NIT is very similar to UBI.

The differences are

1) Payout schedule. We currently have no means to calculate and provide NIT payouts on a weekly or monthly basis. Annual payments (like the Alaska PFD) have problems with splurge spending since the people who need it the most tend to have the worst money management skills.

2) The shape of the curve at the bottom. While the shape is not actually inherent to either proposal, UBI proposals tend to provide greater income gains per extra dollar earned by those at the bottom of the income distribution

3) The name "Negative Income Tax" is a bit confusing. A "negative tax" is not a term we use (we use "subsidy" or "tax credit") and so it can be easily misinterpreted as a tax on those with negative income... "Universal Basic Income" is clear and easily understood.

Sometimes its just laziness.

I was forced to add GTM to a site because it meant marketing could just hand over the GTM login and a pile of money to another company which could then provide them with pretty reports on what the customers were doing.
The analytics company promised to not do anything bad so it was OK.

And that was after an incident where the entire site was turned purple by another external JavaScript...
A lot of old computers were used as front-ends to manufacturing or test systems. I know one place that had a PDP-8 well into the 2000's running their barge offloading. It was pretty expensive to change since for some reason they couldn't run an emulator (direct hardware?) and the guy babysitting it had to have a lot of spare parts on hand. Some of this old equipment is really costly to replace just because the computer is old. Plus, you have to figure out what the old software is doing.

Housing, just like any other input, is best for the economy when prices go down. The less money spent for housing, the more money that can be spent on other goods and services (the same is true of food, healthcare, fuel prices, ....).

Much of the cost of rising housing is because of the increasing scarcity of land in desired locations (read major cities such as NYC, SF, Boston, London, Paris, ...) though "rent-seeking" which in this case is politically induced scarcity through zoning density restrictions, overuse of historic landmark status, and overregulation. The "rent-seeking" causes market inefficiencies or "market-failure." Healthy economies rely on wealth creation. Rent-seeking is a form of robbing Peter to pay Paul without creating wealth.

Happily, the solution costs no money at all. It simply entails ridding the legislation that caused the rent-seeking, the artificial scarcity of land. For example, in Japan, the federal government overrides local laws that limit zoning densities.

See Economists Edward Glaeser and Tim Harford (in his case, Greenbelting) for more details.

They don't yet support it and I don't think they will have strong Ionic integration as we haven't talked with them about it.

However, we recently rolled out Ionic Pro which is similar to App Center, but focused 100% on Ionic apps. Adoption so far has been strong despite only being out a few months, and we're investing a lot in the product. Hope you give it a try and we're excited to have some extra validation from App Center!

Rising housing costs used to be considered a public crisis that required intervention. For instance, in the 1960s Sweden responded to a housing crisis with their "Million Houses Program."[0]

But after decades of "ownership society" propaganda all we hear about now when there's a shortage of an essential good like housing is the comparatively few winners and their unearned windfalls. The much more numerous victims don't matter and aren't considered.

They haven't lost any good will that matters in the long run. I find 1Password valuable enough to pay them a monthly fee and so do many many others.

They changed their business model to be more sustainable/profitable and they know that means that they'll lose a segment of customers but that's OK.

The products that won't do well with a business model like this are products that don't provide enough value. There is nothing wrong with the pricing model itself or a company choosing to adopt it.

In the context of iOS at least, it has the potential to stop working or lose functionality as time goes on. Compatibility for apps that are not continuously updated is not high on Apple's priority list.
Agreeing with you. Customer service sites are prime targets for solutions where JavaScript is used to enable training, screen sharing, user tracking and advertising, and the up-side is so compelling, especially to non-technical customer service operations managers "those who decide to do so", that they can't conceive of how this little widget can scrape the whole screen, or worse, be maliciously tipped to steal or inject information. The site owners are at fault, but also the browsers should make it easier to disable active content. We can presume that most users aren't discerning, but I'd switch to both plain text e-mail and plain-text browsing, if possible, switching to bloated sites when i can't find an alternative, and like the other comment here, using Lowes instead of Home Depot because their site is less awful. I'll be sharing the link to No Boundaries page next time i'm talking with someone who wants to add a tracking feature to a page.
