> Doesn't affect my opinion on the usability of the platform, though. For my part, I got my work to do, so I ultimately ended up back on a Mac (yet again, ugh) because, for all Apple's recent problems, none of them bother me as much as things like, "I just flat-out can't use this app that I need without a microscope."

Well, at that point, you're no longer using 4K (even if you use a 4K external monitor, OS X doesn't render at that resolution by default). Incidentally, if you do try to render OS X in 4K, it looks horrible, for the exact same reasons.

In my experience, the 4K experience is actually strongest on Linux, followed by Windows. OS X comes in last.
India’s Foreign Trade Policy
That mantra applies to "most" programmers.

I think he was talking mostly about size.

Odds are good most programmers tinkering in machine code won't beat the performance of the compiler. That takes experience. It is a good rule of thumb.

I think it is easier to write smaller (size) code than a compiler, but when you measure performance it will beat you often until you get good. Alignment, x86 tricks... It takes a bit of knowledge to do well.
Acceleration is not all that matters. I'm going to hold until a hands-on driving test before I make such claims as "best sports car on the market" and "no Ferrari can compete".
Stuff happens, indeed, and more often than most of us realise.

Getting on for a decade ago now I was working at Red Gate when they bought .NET Reflector - a decompiler for .NET code - from Lutz Roeder. After the acquisition we started asking people what they were using it for.

Turns out a significant minority of them were trying to recover lost source code, or source code they never had in the first place (e.g., where a supplier went out of business). I don't remember the exact figure but it might even have run into low double-digit percentages. Bear in mind this is a tool that was being downloaded tens of thousands of times every month by all manner of people working for all kinds of organisations of every size and you can see the scale of the problem.

There were a couple of Reflector add-ins that would allow you to take a .NET binary and generate a C# or VB.NET Visual Studio project with all source code from it. The source code was never perfect and wouldn't likely compile first time, but it was certainly better than starting from scratch. Not surprisingly these add-ins were among the most popular.

Granted, times have changed, and I think source control is probably the default for almost everyone these days - although I would have expected that even in 2008 - but, bottom line: I think this sort of thing happens a lot, for one reason or another.
Optimising for size is a relatively "obvious" goal, although it still takes a lot of skill to do it well. Optimising for speed is much less obvious however, the x86 architecture is incredibly complex when it comes to working out what code will be faster.
JSX to C++ Virtual DOM
While this cars specs are no doubt impressive I wouldnt say no one will be able to challenge them. Porsche has been working on a high end electric car for a while and they specifically said they would challenge Tesla. Porsche can build some nice high end cars, and with their racing/electric technology i wouldnt be surprised if in 2020 they take some wind out of teslas sail
Single answers is basically what's needed for Alex, Google Home, etc. I was surprised that Google beat Alexa. Siri was horrible.

I haven't purchased a home voice device yet because I wanted it to get a little better. However, I'm not sure if there will be much improvement in the device itself. The real work is on the server.
"I used to donate regularly to Watsi, but recently I have churned, as they have de-emphasized the p2p aspect over universal healthcare."

It's my understanding that the their "other projects" are not being funded from the same bag that the p2p healthcare. I don't see the problem if they want to expand their activities.
> Their answer was that it's not economically viable for the public bus service

There's a huge number of dollar van systems all around the world, they're usually profitable, sometimes profitable enough to wage wars against competitors.

Public buses: Big, amenities, lose public money.
Private minibuses: Small, rough, earn profit.

Moreover, they can totally turn the table with regards of quality of life. Village where my granma lived had a bus from the city maybe once per for hours. Now it has some bus still, but also a minibus every 15 minutes! That's a game changer.
In a developing economy like China or India, it does provide a good opportunity to transfer wealth from rich urban dwellers to poor rural residents. It isn’t clear how development could happen otherwise if some weren’t allowed to get rich first, and then pull up the lower classes.

As a developed economy, much fewer people can afford house keepers in the USA. Our cleaning tech is better to compensate.
Replacing terms doesn't make the problem go away, nor does providing a possible evolutionary reason. You're advocating a behaviorist approach, which Chalmers and everyone else has been aware of for half a century or more.

And you misunderstand the p-zombie argument. It's functionally and behaviorally equivalent, because it's physically identical. Of course it would seek to avoid death as all life forms do.
I get your point, but also... You are complaining that they are not willing to give their work away, unless you are willing to give your work away.
The Motorola F3 is that phone, if all you care about are phone calls (it can’t really do SMS). You are probably better getting a similar era Nokia though, as the battery life was about the same and they were a lot more functional.

Musk did mention in his presentation that the motivation for making this car was as "a complete smack down to gas powered cars" and it may be no more than that, though the halo effect doesn't hurt and neither does the R&D effort.
The Lytro Camera[1]. The idea of refocusing a photo after the fact felt like an absolute revelation. Their initial camera was somewhat affordable, but ended up being just downright awful. The pictures were low res, low quality, and the camera was difficult to use and lacked basic, yet essential functions. I was a super-excited early adopter. After I got the camera I think I took, maybe 100 pictures with mine and it's sat in a box of disappointment ever since, because you couldn't actually do anything with the crummy pictures it took. All I wanted was a reasonably good 4MP image where I could refocus a picture on my kid's face when the camera focused on the wall behind her so I could send that picture to grandma, or post it to facebook. They clearly had something else very different in mind and the novelty of all the interactive-y stuff they added around the refocusing forgot that what we(I) actually wanted was a picture.

It's all fine that I ended up not taking more pictures becuase the one place you could see them is being shut down at the end of the month.

They appear to have pivoted to professional cinema.

He didn't receive the classes he paid for, and yes, he can and should charge it back on that basis. You generally have 180 days to charge it back, so as long as the charge was within this time frame, his bank should reimburse him. They'll try to suck the money out of TechShop's bank account, and if the money isn't in their account, their merchant provider will become another creditor in the bankruptcy proceeding for the total amount of chargebacks.
So basically Musk unveils future products of lesser demand but probably higher profit so he can raise Tesla stock value a bit and also grab some preorder cash flow and help Model 3 while it's stuttering ?
From what I see, Node is something you install on a web server and it executes javascript server-side. How is it possible to build a web application (with user authentication, web pages with different content, etc.) from that? It doesn't seem anything like web frameworks I've heard about in the past like Rails and Django.

Good point. But best to not remove them, just move them to a separate section at the bottom.
> Then again, how many people actually care? I don't think they'll have trouble finding buyers.

You're right, the actual performance doesn't matter for the buyers of such cars. All supercars are playthings for folks with money burning holes in their pockets. Pure luxury, thrill and ostentation. The vast majority of these cars will be slogging it out in mind-numbing stop-and-go traffic just like the rest of us. Sure, there may be an occasional opportunity to make a dramatic passing maneuver on a pristine highway against a driver that doesn't think he's racing-- big whoop.
I recommend finding out for yourself by trying each and seeing the results. It will cost you nothing in time or money. I guarantee you will learn more about yourself than you would imagine and develop skills applicable throughout life.

I recommend against not trying and finding out through experience. I've found the results amazing, despite costing nothing. Since I've made cold showers a regular habit -- http://joshuaspodek.com/js_blogseries/cold-showers-rock -- I'd love to hear your results.

I do think it has some merit; the comparison to student housing is made, but IIRC there's nothing like that once you've graduated - you're almost forced to get a house of your own, rental or bought. I can imagine for a lot of people it's not actually an improvement, especially if you can't afford a house right after you've finished school.

I know where I live, in NL, there's a few scenarios. One, some people just remain students for ten years until their early 30's, living in student houses like this for that whole time. At least this used to be the case until the government cracked down on scholarships. I don't know if this type appears in the US, I can imagine with university being a lot more expensive year over year it's not that bad.

Another thing, and this goes for me, is that if you're out of school, especially in the city area, it's very hard to find a house. There's social rental which is the affordable rental apartments, but there's a 10+ year waiting list for that - that is, your parents would have had to sign you up for it when you were still a kid. If that's even possible. Then there's the free market, which is more like student houses and such. I've had to do the latter for... I think 8 years, at the end of my education and the first seven or so years of my career until I earned enough to be able to buy a house. (that + other factors, mind you; I think I could've bought a cheap apartment much earlier if I wanted to. Wasn't sure about buying yet 5-6 years ago).

erm, anyway. I think there's some merit to this, give the benefits of shared living but add the comforts of adulthood and working for a living (maintained shared spaces, privacy, etc) and there might be something there, especially in areas where housing is expensive and/or space is limited and/or people don't live in the same spot for more than two years.

Clever and funny. I might find this useful for broken Typescript typings that have been somehow included in the package.
> Their quality is indistinguishable from CDs despite what audiophiles would have you believe

Well I blame the system. You needed upgraded headphones or speakers. I have $2000 studio monitors when I was an audio engineer and well I can 100% tell you in a blind test I can tell the difference.

95% of the reason why is people don't care about quality audio. It's something about human brains. MP3 sound horrible compared to a FLAC and good equipment. Instead people wear Beats Bluetooth Headphones listening to streamed Audio.

I also blame myself. I use $15 in ear bluetooth ear piece (Looks like a hearing aid) Inovate G10. I listen almost exclusively to podcasts or YouTube videos. The convenience is so much more needed than sound quality. I listen to music at home (When my kids aren't around because all they do is complain). I need to get a good pair of headphones.
>Traction control: F1 cars are driven by some of the best drivers on the planet. I think it's straining credulity to believe that an electronic traction control system is going to outperform them to such a huge degree.

I'm with you for the rest of the post, but this is not straining credulity. Look at the F1 season where traction control/launch control was not yet banned. You can see how the cars with that technology gained a massive advantage. Look no further than some starts featuring Schumacher vs Senna. The former wasn't a better driver, but Senna couldn't do anything but watch him pull away on the starts. And that's 1993 technology.
So we've had the Model 'S', 'E' (or '3') and 'X', and now the 'Semi'?
I kind of agree with the sentiment. It isn't that crazy.

We do this as a matter of course all the time. Patching a small handful of instructions is pretty easy. You could learn to do it on a week or less if you are a decent programmer.

Do it well? Do it quickly? Do it idiomatically and in a short amount of time.... Takes real skill.

In the same vein, I'm excited about the Light L16[0]. But with the hefty price tag, I don't know if I can get on it this early. If takes off, then the price is comparable to a DSLR and a few lenses, but right now I'm hesitant.

Is there anywhere to compare the wages, credentialing, and insurance of those drivers to those of a city's bus system?

It's easy to earn a profit when you don't pay taxes or have to worry about liability insurance.
They are probably trying to bring the "gated community" concept to the apartment block level.

Gated communities are a very bad sign; outside the US, they are usually found in places where income is very unequal, crime is high, taxes low and public services of very bad quality or inexistent.

It doesn't have to be like this. In fact, a more balanced society improves the lifestyle of everyone, including those who make more (and end up paying more taxes).

Before I'm asked "citation needed", try and imagine which societies I am thinking of.
i think one problem with buses are the routes are absolutely terrible. in my morning commute i see a bus stop 3 times within 6 blocks, i kid you not. if you have to go from the end of 1 bus route to another it would easily take you over an hour. honestly remove some bus stops and make people walk anb extra block. i feel the same way about our metro system too.
How (well) does this work in a dependency of a dependency of a dependency?
Sure, but he goes on about religion a lot. And it's always been obvious to me that faith is foolish. I was reading Popper, Kuhn, Nietzsche, Camus, Kafka, Hesse and so on. And I had no patience for Kierkegaard's obsession with fantasy. I mean, I enjoy fantasy. But I know that it's fantasy.
I'm saying that it might not always weigh up against the disadvantage the diverse workforce have accrued over the years, and that that will likely remain the case unless we're doing something about that. (Which is often being done.)

And hence, that some sort of external motivation may be needed to make it weigh up against that at present, which would eventually lead to it simply being a competitive advantage.
It is easy to not let addresses change, because compilers without “-O2+“ do lots of extra stack ops. Documentation is not needed there, because it is overflow fix, it is catchable by debugger and both caller and callee are right in bt. And the fact that this program was not recompiled for 20 years actually adds to the possibility of what was done. Modern compilers are much less forgiving.

Anyway, your points are pretty weak and oh-magic-driven, and I don’t see any reason gp comment to be gray or work to be called stellar. Though of course it was done by asm-skilled person.
As someone who has been developing software for many different companies over the past 21 years (and counting) I am discouraging my kids from going into this field. I want them to know how to code and know not to be afraid of electronics as well as curious about what's in the box and how it is trying to shape their behavior. But as a career, software developer for me has only been good for taking a guy from a blue collar family with few prospects and give him (me) a halfway decent living to raise a family on. Had I had better advice before college, there were many better avenues for someone with my abilities. I really feel like I missed the boat somewhere and was just too stubborn to notice, or maybe my personality wouldn't lend itself to other roles, who knows? Anyhow, I am hoping I bootstrapped my kids into a better life trajectory.

I'm hoping my kids surpass me and find careers that are more sensible, lucrative, and rewarding.
Seems obvious now, I wonder why he didn't do this sooner. The first Tesla was a high end sports car after all.
For one thing, it sounds like it implements the Language Server protocol, which will make it usable for other IDEs and text editors with support for this protocol (a quickly growing list.)

Not aware of Rtags but I'll assume it's similar to the omnipresent C tags but with an actual C++ parser. If that's the case, in theory cquery is a lot more powerful; it would include the symbol indexing of Rtags but also code refactoring tools ("fixits",) fully aware context-sensitive auto-complete, ability to detect dead code (i.e. #if 0 or #ifndef _WIN32) and support for the type hierarchy. Some of that stuff is definitely not supported by LSP so I imagine it's custom stuff for VSCode only.

All in all, it sounds like it would provide most of the IDE experience to VS Code. The only annoying part would be that you'll have to extract the compile flags from your build system yourself, but that's not usually too big of a deal.
It's not just that non-geeks aren't really interested; it's that it has a whole bunch of barriers as well for those that are interested.

1. You need a reasonably powerful PC or PS4 ($$$)
2. You need the VR kit itself ($$)
3. You need space to use it
4. You need to be physically able to use it
5. You need a lack of motion sickness, etc.
6. There's bugger all games at the moment
7. Probably something else I've not thought of
That's more helpful. That's a lot of special cases - and thought - to put into each time we look at a C5-attached volume as opposed to any other. It also does not include any mention of Average Read Latency and Average Write Latency, which appears to be incorrect in all dimensions (average, min, max, sum).
To elaborate, you sketch out the assembly you need, assemble it and literally drop those new bytes in.

Tools like IDA Pro, Binary Ninja, and Hopper make this quite easy. A good hex editor and knowing the file offsets is also fine. This is seen as magic because it is a bit of a lost art, but it turns out to be easy to learn.

I guess that kind of language is always going to represent some hyperbole. People like porsches.

That said, the stats posted here are faster than any car you can currently buy. Porsche have a very fast supercar at the top of that list now, but it's not as fast as this roadster (again based on the table in this link) and costs 3-4 times as much.

The kind of cars that approach the performance suggested here are generally very expensive, very low volume "Sheikh" cars. Tesla is claiming that they beat all of them, for a lot cheaper. If so... I wouldn't want to be a Porsche dealer in 2021
OpenGL is the basis of computer graphics on Andriod and Linux and works well on Windows. So it is fairly universal these day. It does work well. There are always new proprietary APIs to compete with OpenGL and they usually jump ahead but then OpenGL slowly but surely consumes them.
Worse still, we spent weeks on the phone with AWS insisting there was no throttling - just to find out there was throttling. And that would have been discoverable if a single engineer had looked at CloudWatch.

Not to be a Tesla apologist, but how many people track their supercars? Or at least proportionally to road use? An Aventador is pretty crummy as a track car, and its performance is all but unusable on the roads (unless, ahem, liberties are taken).

A lot of the appeal is in the perception of performance and that initial acceleration. It's putting your foot down with a passenger, or breezing someone at the lights whilst putting a smile on your face. 0-60 is probably one of the more relevant performance statistics for road use (even if 1.9s renders it all but pointless!)
