I think it probably really depends on the co-working space. I was at one for a few months that made a point of socializing. They had a portion of space dedicated to meetups from 7pm. They had 4-5 meetups a week. They organized dinner outings. One person organized a programmer meet up where he'd give out a short problem, have everyone solve it in their language of choice, then we'd have each person explain their solution, it was enlightening so see why each person made their choices.

I don't know how to know beforehand if a co-working space has lots of social activities or not, maybe see if they have an event page or a FB page showing past events.
Bing has spent untold amounts of money on in-house development and buying up companies and they've barely made a dent. I'm sure there are various reasons for that, but it at least suggests that having smart people and lots of money is not sufficient to crack Google's monopoly.

The rules of the tournament forbid it, it's the same program in all rounds and current standings aren't an input.

Can anybody point me to a list of problems with "legacy" BIOS that UEFI fixes? My PCs have had no problem booting in the decade I've been using them. They boot windows, ubuntu, arch, basically whatever I want them to boot. What's the big problem?
First, block all your notifications and display only one window on your screen. Then, try to focus only 20 minutes on only one task. After that, give you a break of 10 minutes, check your email, FB, Twitter, etc. And repeat the process. It takes time, it is not always easy but with perseverance it is possible. When you will be comfortable with 20 minutes of focus, you will can go to 30, etc. Force yourself and you will be very satisfied with the result and it will entice you more.
My step father was on sub duty for 25 years. He said he signed up because it was the closest thing to being on a space ship.
- Better enums

- The way one can plug into JIT code generation via invokedynamic, methodhandles and varhandle bytecodes

- A JIT compiler written in Java (Graal), now pluggable in the reference JVM

- An actual roadmap to rewrite remaining C++ from OpenJDK in Java (Project Metropolis)

- The research being done in Graal and Sulong about using Java to write compiler infrastructure

- Being portable to devices where the CLR probably will never be ported to

- A a better JIT in what concerns dynamic code re-writting

- Multiple implementations, some of them with AOT support, from disparate vendors

I just enjoy using both eco-systems since they exist.
That technology already exists and is being tested in a military setting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGAk5gRD-t0. Not sure if those ones have explosive on it but I'm sure it isn't harder to implement it.
Compensation is important, but not the only factor. The fact that older developers are viewed as obsolete but older attorneys are viewed as an asset makes a different too. Commanding respect and admiration over time is an intangible that tech lacks relative to other professions.
Thanks for clarifying it.

Still if such products had been successful earlier, most likely our C++ IDEs would be much joyful to use even without plugging into clang.

It always feels so many products have been a market failure just because people weren't yet ready for them. Only to have others 10, 20 years later to conquer exactly the same market.
It looks a lot more like the Pokémon wooper.
Where is the problem? Should selling imported generic goods on Amazon only be allowed for major brands? That would make the cost go up as there would be less competition.

Velcron: Introducing multi-party state-channels
I observed a friend's computer that shipped with no hotkey to access the BIOS settings or boot menu. In order to get into the computer to boot to a usb drive for installing Linux, you had to either accept the Windows license agreement or disassemble the computer and pull the hard drive.
I love trips down the memory lane to, what I call "the old internet" (before facebook etc), like this.

I also had to check if "my" bot was involved somehow. I wrote a C-bot called VladBot in the early 90's, stopped working on it somewhere in '97 but it's seen all kinds of reincarnations (good and bad) since then.
I have never read _The Four_, but stopped by to make a quick complaint: can we please retire the verb "signalling" in political discourse?

As far as I can tell all "political signalling" means is "I cannot believe what you profess to believe, therefore I assume that you profess it merely to be trendy".
This completely depends on the field.

For example, a 2016 study (pdf) by the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation that looked at the demographics of over 900 individuals who have made high-value meaningful, marketable contributions to technology-heavy industries in the US.

In mathematics, for example, innovation is typically done by the young. In architecture, by the old.
"If you need a friend, get a dog."

Otherwise, toughen up. If it was easy, everyone could do it.

Is this a leak of Black Mirror Season 4?
I'm happy with the Android device as long as I can unlock the bootloader and flash my own OS. I'm happy with the PC as long as security settings don't stop me from installing my own OS. If I'm prevented, then I don't care about the security arguments; the device isn't useful to me.

My solution there is to avoid buying from vendors that I consider shady.
Checking out her podcast, looks interesting.
I'm glad you are working on that, but "Just run the core anywhere (we’re looking into offering it hosted, too), connect with the web ui," really doesn't count as easy to use -- now everyone on my IRC channel needs to run a server which is is accessable to the internet, worry about security updates, both for the server and your software specifically.

Whereas with slack, I just do "make account, login, done". Until it's as easy as slack, I can't pursade people I work with to move over.
Maybe allow users to set it up for free, and go through one project with one client with the tool. If it makes the process amazing people might be in a position where they would like to pay for it.

You could include a nudge to increase their pricing for that project to cover X months of usage of the tool (depending on project size I guess).
Helicopters can autorotate but I wonder what the statistics are for them doing so and landing safely?
>It's not the product, I strongly believe we have a decent product.

It sounds like you're in a spot where people are interested in your company, (why you have sign ups) but you're not solving a hair-on-fire problem. Heck, you yourself wrote that you strongly believe you have a "decent" product—Not an amazing product, not a product that freelancers are going to rave about to their friends. Just a decent product.

Try talking with a lot more potential customers, and when they are nice and tell you it is good and such and such, actually ask for $10. I think in those cases you'll all of a sudden hear something different from them.
Even though superficially they are cracking down on every conceivable way of abusing and harming others, including mere "wishing" for harm, I see nothing about one of their user's favorite pastime: Attempting to cause economic damage to a target, such as loss of customers or loss of job. It's an interesting omission.
Why don't you contact your potential users and ask them?
That is just temporary glitch, until Java gets value types.

The biggest problem is that no-one wants to do a Python3 on the pile of Java code written in the last 20 years, so of course that have been doing baby steps, which are starting to see the light now post-Java 9.

And they will come, because Java is feeling the pressure on Fintech from companies that want to move away from C++, but still feel some pain, ergo Pony.

Java also needs such features for Project Metropolis, the JVM can only be successfully rewritten in Java, if there are no performance regressions.

Also, IBM and Azul JVMs do have language extensions for value types.
A rule is one thing, enforcement is another. No rule or law is 100% enforceable, nor is the discretion at which punishment prescribed is equal and constant.

It is quite an endeavor to regulate a platform with the population of the US with much fewer resources. Twitter isn't perfect, however I applaud their efforts.
Except that I don't live in the "West". And I've seen my share of the world, and done my share of NGO work at home and in the places where it's directly helpful.
I also know that taxes are used especially in the West to fund the military industry that contributes to killing people all over the place.
So I am well aware of the ambivalence of "taxes".
But that's not what I am talking about. I am talking about "taxes" as a way to create a strong public service, not as taxes to create even stronger dictatorships.
Also, places where the Red Cross/Crescent and BWB won't go are also very unlikely to be places where Watsi will go.
How about app design templates?

What makes a positive "false" is not necessarily objective. It may be fluid and entirely dependent on the "mission parameters". Consider two states at war where the bots are by design targeting a specific genetic fenotype.

If you look at Naver Search in Korea, most of their search results focus on results from community discussion sites (called cafes), blogs, etc. instead of commercial websites.
Not having to go down into C++ or C++/CLI to express performance algorithms that now can be fully written in pure C#.
I've wondered how much of the youthfulness of math has to do with burnout or other factors that are unrelated to the age of a brain. By this logic, maybe someone who started late in math could be highly innovative later in life, as or more innovative than if they'd started young.
To me that sounds like it would make the situation much worse than it already is. Instead of a lottery there would be a waiting list that is hundreds of thousands of entries long and backlogged for years. They'd have to sort by salary or something so that companies don't have to wait for years to hire highly qualified people
Defining User Access Levels in Flask
I really disagree with the "random" part, though. Human openings need to at least have some "theory" around them to know what to do if your opponent diverges from the main lines.

Usually "real evidence" that the human choices sometimes are better than the machine ones is that the engines after a long time agree with the human choices.
Java KeyStores–the gory details
I think the proposed ban is: don't develop weapons with software that can make the killing decisions without humans in the loop. That itself isn't so impossible a ban to make something like the CWC out of, but nations couldn't even stop 3D gun printing, despite the same sort of worries.

Additionally, even with that ban, you could have the exact same video with the minor difference that each drone sends its video stream to a human somewhere else who presses a button to authorize each suggested-by-the-drone kill. And if we got that far, the pressure to get rid of the ban would be immense, because tool AIs are better as agent AIs.

And if we can't even handle regular old microsystems technology, how are we going to handle nanotech? https://www.amazon.com/Military-Nanotechnology-Applications-... (and briefly covered in this talk by the same author http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MANPyybo-dA) discusses it but in the 11 years since it was published I see no reason to think the world is any better prepared.
I'm not sure if you're implying that there's some hypocrisy here

No, I was just wondering whether there was a particular reason that you'd take what appears to be the minority position within tech circles. I'm mostly in the possibly-more-common "the US is over-regulated" camp, tend to be moving farther in that direction, and was wondering what perspective I might be missing.

I'm strongly for greater governmental regulation regarding environmental issues (and in general, biased toward regulations that protect the commons from individuals) but generally against regulations that mandate government involvement in what would otherwise be person-to-person interactions.

In both cases, though, I worry that new laws are often created for some hidden private agenda rather than for the stated public good, even if the benefit to the public might be real. Usually, I'd prefer that we improve enforcement of our existing rules rather than adding more.

Thanks for your excellent answer, and I'll read the links you provided tomorrow.
Just like NGOs are making a change. And that's what's criticized in the article. You can't just click away misery.

The idea of online donations is nothing new. The idea of online donations to support people with health issues is nothing new.
Give to your local Red Cross. Give to the Army of Salvation. Give to your local groups. Help the people in need in your neighborhood.

There are plenty of things you can do locally to alleviate people's pain and suffering, and it does not involve sending money through a site that feeds on voyeurism.
Interesting, thanks. Did you ever manage to find better-quality material on raspberry ketones that you think should have been in the search results instead?
Systems such as Phalanx CISW with fully automatic mode have been available for ages.
> I think the most surprising vulnerability for Google is web search

Is web search still the main problem, now so much content has moved off the web and into apps and walled gardens? Could the big challenge for Google be a startup that somehow solves the problem of searching all of that content (assuming that is a problem which can be solved)?

At the time Rybka was not one of the strongest engines anymore, and "correspondence chess" (human + computers) is still played.

The strongest players are not GMs, as far as I know, and a very important part of those games is trying to force positions where the opponent's engine might make a slight mistake

Exactly. The sentiment that you need VC money and IPO is kind of crazy these days.

Why would I even want further people that say me what I should do with my company. Except when money really is necessary I really don't see why.
This perfectly explains my own reaction/opinion when I started reading the comment that started this subthread.

> There is no way to use stack allocated memory in Java.

Not directly, but most JIT compilers do it.

It is tricky and fragile, but one can make use of the JIT logs and try to re-write the code so that it takes the right decision regarding escape analysis.

As for an actual support at language level, we need to wait for the outcome of projects Valhalla and Panama.

Could someone design a new kind of product and seize first mover advantage, eclipsing Apple? That would be a cool product. Maybe the manufacturing capacity exists, and the money to back it, so the producer could avoid acquisition. Patents matter. But it's hard to imagine Apple falling behind, or even being caught off guard. It would have to emerge from super stealth. Maybe a general purpose, human level AI? It would have to be something that extraordinary to even make a dent in Apple.

In some theoretical parallel universe somewhere, and maybe even in the future of this one, I'm imagining people with private (tiny) airplanes flying out to some backwater dot county nobody knows about, just to code at one of the coffee shops there.

Because people are really forward in rural areas.

Hm, now I see the bugs in this idea; poor internet speed for one, compounded by the fact that said person is likely going to want to move out there permanently...

I think spending it on a house is one of the worst ones though. If the money was kept in the bank it would at least go to reinvest into other companies or help people get loans, etc. But a big house, it just reserves land away and wastes material.

P.S.: I'd love to have a big house, and don't jusge people who can afford it that do. Luxury is fun, but in this case its wasteful non the less.
It's the national equivalent of "Don't invest in your employer, because if it goes bust you lose your investments AND your job."

Hey, current maintainer of omnisharp-emacs here.

Would you be willing to submit an issue to github about the problems you have encountered (if not already?)

I would love to make the experience of using C# on emacs with omnisharp-emacs easier for people.
That's what I was thinking. As if the name brands aren't just getting most of their products from the same factories in China.

I contemplated mosh while waiting for things to install, and wondered whether it’d resolve that issue; but I’ve never set it up, and would seldom indeed have any use for it, so I expect I’ll continue to not use it.

If you have a look at the paper (figure 12), although the actual location of some cities lie outside the predicted confidence regions, the model gives a pretty good hint of where they are.

It is easy to see how the study could be followed adding other factors such as geographical data, or the goods that are traded between different regions. But still, this simple model gives a very good estimation.

I may be wrong, archaeology is not my field, but I'd guess 2/3 is a high probability by their standards. I do not think they usually have so many chances when they start digging.
What is it with using C# w/ emacs that is wrong? Compared to say development of Java or python code on emacs? Although it doesn't have all the tooling present from say VS, it is still managable with refactoring, autocompletion and some more functionality working already.

This thread is such a stark and welcome contrast to the dozens of "remote work is the one true way" and "open offices are bad in all ways" threads that seem to pop up here every few weeks. For extroverts (or in my case, introvert-deliberately-turned-extrovert) energy, creativity and innovation are fueled by human interaction. I consider going solo, couped up in your sterile, quiet home office, to be a certain path to failure. I'm glad to finally have a discussion here where this is being recognized!

I also clicked on signup, but then didn't. Here is why: I wanted to sign up to test the product, but after clicking on signup I get a Typeform modal. Typeform as a signup form makes me suspicious that the product doesn't really exists, and the startup is doing some sort of landing page -> signup validation.

You also ask that I enter my credit card and you want to charge me 10$ upfront, without having established any sort of trust, or having shown the product to me. I would never do that. I don't even do that for established trust worthy companies. I wan't to see and test the product before I buy.
