> Can someone explain it to me?

It's very simple - it is harder for younger managers to work with older subordinates.

The age-based hierarchies are deeply ingrained into virtually all cultures - "Elders are wise, respect your elders, etc." This makes arguing with (or reprimanding) someone who's older than you a doubly-uncomfortable task for many people. The reverse is also true - that is being bossed around by people significantly younger than yourself.

When everyone does a splendid job, the age difference is not a problem. But if someone is not pulling their weight, that when it starts to complicate the situation for everyone involved.

I read the article, I understand completely and I've heard that argument before. Thats why at my company we have three incompatible, half arsed K8s clusters.

At the point where you have to fix upstream bugs, its the point where one says: fuckit, its not stable enough, more trouble than its worth. Lets use gaffer tape and move on. As for maintenance, without company buyin for transplanting the _entire_ stack, its questionable. And if there are only two people, and you have to maintain an entire distributed stack, that smacks of pain.

One company, one platform.
So there’s zero leverage across the ecosystem, not withstanding bucket shop margin at fly by night exchanges, and you think you can call an absolute maximum?

This is the only bubble WITHOUT credit and institutional leverage so far

I would take the opposite side of your bets, there simply aren’t enough whole bitcoin units for even every schmuck with a million dollars

Wake me up when crypto ventures are built entirely on rehypothecated assets in the crypto ecosystem, and Morgan Stanley is leveraged 5,000% again

The discussion here is interesting, but I haven't seen any psychological and sociological aspects of hiring mentioned yet. Not all hiring decisions are rational.

First, there's a culture thing - when a company is composed out of 20 year olds, it's natural for them to prefer working with other young people who they can relate to. That 40 year old job applicant, the one with the kids and the years of experience in companies that no longer exist doesn't look as relatable as someone your own age.

Second, there's ego. In a company in which junior and even mid level managers are 25-35 years old, who wants to hire a 45 year old "veteran" that has 10 years more experience? Managing someone more knowledgeable than you is a challenge. It's much easier to get a fresh graduate and mold him into the employee you want him to be. Ego-wise, it's much nicer being the mentor than the mentee.

There are many more aspects to this and I suspect that they play a more important role than at least some of the the purely rational reasons for ageism in our industry.
I'm curious about how people's arguing about Bitcoin's prospects correlates with their cryptocurrency holdings.
Ehhh. I don't think modern computers could even render Toy Story still, maybe an approximation but that's what realtime graphics are about - using tricks to make approximations, to make things look "good enough". Non-realtime graphics feel easier in some ways because you can use e.g. raycasting to get "free" realistic reflections and lighting and whatnot. Then you can focus more on what makes a material look the way it does, like they do in this article.
It is good for investing long term, why? (like Bitcoin)
In The Netherlands, the transit card create a great deal of budget. By having a digital card that you need to top up. You end up with money on a card that isn't used. Thus the transit company suddenly has €20-€50 extra cash available per train user. The intrest even generates pretty good money I can imagine

Replace kits cost $25 from iFixit and others. It's not as easy as just plopping a new one in but together with the excellent guide at iFixit, it works pretty well. Upgraded the battery in my 6 last week.
Why is an "SV-based disrupter" at all necessary? That's an absurd and bizarre question. Just pay them - you say you read it often, yet you don't pay. Say you read 6 articles there per year - that works out to a whole $4/article, or equivalent to one fancy coffee every two months. To defer instead to some "SV-based disrupter" to act as the person who will pay for it on your behalf seems exceptionally lazy on your part. Just pay for the things you benefit from. Constantly using services while hoping someone else will pay for them is why we can't have nice things that last.

(And yes, I pay for it - I like the print version that shows up every so often, in addition to the articles I read online).
Apollo 8 Completes First Manned Moon Orbit
There is one called Google Contributor.
Apple had two problems at the time. One was technology and the other was leadership. Be would have helped with the technology part, but in an incomplete way. It wasn’t just the core OS NEXT provided, but also the application development stack. Be wouldn’t have helped on the leadership front at all though.

The Mac certainly benefited from attracting a lot of Unix devs, but I don’t think that was a significant contributor to its mainstream success.
New York has one of the highest state tax rates, 2nd to only California. It is absurdly high given the quality of public transportation. They cant have it both ways.
COM is its own ABI and does not use the C++ ABI:

"Unlike C++, COM provides a stable application binary interface (ABI) that does not change between compiler releases.[3] This makes COM interfaces attractive for object-oriented C++ libraries that are to be used by clients compiled using different compiler versions."

The others seem to be mostly embedded kernels or unikernels which will be tightly linked into your code anyway, so there's no issue of ABI incompatibility with those.
Running tests is nice as long you hold the experimenters accountable to actually measure the effect.

For example, educational programs sound as a rational idea until you look at older studies that looked at the effect of increasing the punishment for crime. As I recall there were no effect for most form of violence, including sexual violence, with the researchers conclusion that much crime don't follow rational planning. If the criminal don't do a risk vs reward analysis before the crime, then increasing the punishment won't have an effect on the thought processes. Similar education and work sponsored events is unlikely to help if the action is irrational and involve a lot of self-delusions.

I can see how mores lights and banning hard alcohol can work. People have a emotional reaction to light, and drugs/alcohol operate on the part of the brain that handles social interaction and inhibitions.
Note 8 is also a lot bigger than the X.
There are also a lot more developers who have ingrained work routines that are just bad. You might be a 10x developer, but there are a lot of 1x developers, 0.3x developers than 10x developers. If they are younger, you can still change their ways a lot better.

If you're the hottest startup around, yes, you can only hire 10x developers.

However, if you're the average tech company, like most are, you cannot. Those 0.3x developers and 1x developers with bad work routines occupy the most job positions in companies.

There was a HN post some time ago about a ML tool that can put the face of an actress on top of the face of a pr0n actress.
Unfortunately its not, yes framework is reused but business logic part is written from scratch most of the time and it is that part where most errors usually occur. That is why you can't just install SAP or Dynamics you need to program your logic and workflows into if first, the fact that framework itself is reused saves some time sure, but error probability increases with the amount of customization framework provides.
Singapore just looks/looked at Malaysia the last couple days because a man was killed in a rather spectacular fashion - and everything's on camera..

(I live in Singapore. I'm not a fan of CCTVs, not at all. Locals all seem to be fine with them so far, even happily quoting that they make life saver as a consequence and therefor are a Good Thing)
Funny how these things work... I've lived in Singapore for close to 7 years, have permanent residence, and it is when I travel to the US that I feel slightly uncomfortable.

It starts with the immigration agent who sometimes feels the need to ask me questions for 20 minutes as if I were a criminal, there's the part where they get to look through all your social media accounts and hold you indefinitely, and then there's the thought of a traffic stop by a bored cop "degenerating"... it's tough to travel to countries like these when you're used to a polite government whose agents treat you, the foreigner, with consideration and like a customer.

For example, when I went to my PR interview, my medical checks had expired (and it was transparent I had hoped to get away with it); the lady very helpfully opened up a slot for me a few hours later and recommended me a range of clinics nearby to do the missing medical checks. A breath of fresh air after dealing with the French and other "first world" governments...

No CCTV in my street except for the hedge that borders the Istana 100m away. We do get the odd police car patrolling the perimeter, but since the President lives there and the Prime Minister works there, I can understand. As for the US, I've never been in a building with more than a couple storeys that did not have CCTV, so I'm curious about your frame of reference there (most of Singapore consists of 20+ storey buildings). I've never been in a US mall or office building without CCTV. The only reason my residential building in NYC did not have CCTV was because it was pre-war; it also didn't have working heating, and I'd rather have had both.

I do agree that Singapore is probably not the place to move if you enjoy a suburban lifestyle in a big house with a garden.

edit - here's something you can't do in the US: my friend and I bought a couple craft beers from a Japanese supermarket, then sat down on public benches in front of the Asian Civilisations Museum (opposite CBD and the Fullerton Hotel), cracked them open and sipped them slowly in front of the view.
That was a good read. I'm excited to see these gains trickle down into video game rendering. A 35% gain on normal mapping performance without any user intervention would be huge.

Next step is to explore a similar method with parallax mapping so that we can see these some of these gains transfer to VR titles.

I'm highly sceptical about the entire cryptocurrency space, due to the weirdly gold-standard like underpinnings of most of the currencies. I don't like the idea of deflationary currency. I don't like the idea of decentralised currency; I think central banks play a useful role, even if they don't always do it well. I don't think BTC is a good payment mechanism because it requires exchange at each end, long confirmation times and burning a ton of energy. I don't consider putting money into cryptocurrency 'investment' because it's not like putting money into a company or venture - you're just buying a virtual asset to sit on it. I think a lot of the programmable stuff around ethereum is an overhyped solution looking for a problem, most/all ICOs are scams and a whole host of other negative things about the entire sector.

That all said, I got curious and started mining with my gaming machines, and apparently I now have around $1K in various cryptocurrencies (half an ether, half a ZEC, some SIA, some ETN, a tiny piece of a monero, a few other little bits and pieces). The only money I've put in is through the electricity bill. I may find a way to cash out eventually, but at the moment I'm just going to hang on to it all and see where it is a year down the line. I don't believe in any of it - but I know other people do so there might be an opportunity to make some money.
Kanban is very much Agile. Scrum can be implemented in a variously heavy to lightweight way, though FWIW I found having leftover time at the end of a sprint that could only be used for non-business-facing work (e.g. improving the build system, refactoring of code that wasn't immediately being worked on) to be very valuable.
I’m pretty sure there are multiple gunshots in Se7en. E.g. when they chase the guy through the apartment building.
The 3 Most Popular Ecommerce Platforms for Opening an Online Store
No, no, no. The marginal revolution of the 19th century solved that question. Value is not determined by what it cost to do something. For eg. You can dig deep in south Africa to mine diamonds, but the bits of subterranean rock that emerges along with it doesn't have the same value. Value is always subjective. If you paint Monalisa it has a different value from the one in the Louvre
To clarify for non-Eurozoners: SEPA is the Single European Payment Area. All bank transfers denominated in euros within the EU, EEA, San Marino and Monaco must cost the same regardless of destination bank or country. In the eurozone that cost is usually zero.

It seems you do care, since you've commented twice now claiming the author has ripped off your work, without any evidence whatsoever. Perhaps you should contact them privately if you feel that you've been wronged here?

Publicly claiming someone has ripped off your work is a pretty strong allegation and I don't see any basis for it.

This looks like an uninformed ad for LedgerX.

For god's sake, no one in their right mind trades naked options - neither the seller nor the buyer. Given the historical volaitity of bitcoin rising from 1000 to 16000, it shouldn't be surprising at all that someone wants to hedge (a concept which seems alien to the writers) their positions.

The missing information is - what premium did it cost to secure the trade? Well, as per the data ~ $3600, which at current price is nearly 20% of the current price. Very costly premium for a very volatile product.
It could be slighly more complex than just be discriminated on based on age.

To be perfectly honest, I'd rather work with people who are better than me and who know things that I don't. Sadly, I work in a location and an industry where those people are thin on the ground, and thus I'm usually deciding between people who have less knowledge than I think they really should for the roles we're advertising.

I'm not going to lie, when someone has 20 years experience on paper but has a shallow understanding of their trade, I'd rather hire the grad with similar knowledge if all else is equal.

With that said, I have hired people who are older than me as junior members of a team before, but that's because they show an interest in learning and improving. Usually this means they've been transitioning into the role from another area.

Interviewing is a crap shoot though. I have no idea if I'm good at it or not because I'll never experience the world where I've made different choices. All I know is I expect senior people who know their shit and when they disagree with me, I expect them to be able to argue their point in a friendly and somwhat clear manner.

P.S. We're hiring "devops" contractors paying above market rate. It's not a thing about being cheap, it's simply having a quota of allowed hires and trying to get people who can do the job.
PBR has seen commonplace adoption in games since 2012. Roughness mapping has been used for years in real time engines.
In the London Underground (and on the london buses) you can literally tap your contact-less debit or credit card. Just charged the cheapest rate for the route you took, which automatically caps per day or week on how much you pay, if you do multiple journeys, to be like an "all-day" or "all-week" pass.
Everything can happen to anyone.

I think stickfigure is trying to say that, with cameras above head, which will result in higher probability of being caught if someone commits a crime, the one who would commit a crime if there was no camera will refrain from committing a crime.

With cameras, the probability of losing life will be smaller than without them.

They also have to repeatedly spend money on fundraising. Monthly donations are good for charities, just like monthly subscriptions are good for software businesses - they have a very high LTV if churn is properly controlled and make the finances of the organisation far more predictable.

Companies don't care for more experience. The experience the younger programmers have is "good enough" for them, especially weighted with all the other benefits from hiring them (smaller wages, more impressionable, longer hours, less/no family commitments, etc).

It's over two decades since that was written. I remember reading it when it was first published. Does it look much like the future?
“No rational investor would ever make this investment”

Are the current buyers of bitcoin rational?
I often read Nautilus too and never pay them anything. Moreover, I run an effective ad-blocker, uBlock Origin, so the little they may have derived from my visits that way evaporatwes.

I am very conflicted. I love consuming quality journalism online. But there is no way I'd be able to subscribe to every site I visit – off the top of my head I regularly read The Register (UK), Economist (UK), The Atlantic (US), The Grauniad (UK), Nautilus (US), The Intercept_, and quite a few more …

Maybe I should just disable ad-blocking on the quality news-media sites I visit. However online ads are just so _ugh_. They destroy the reading experience in a way print-media ads don't. They load in unusual places, they contain animations or audio, they track me (what the hell?), they may contain malware. It wasn't so bad back in the day but there came a point when it was just easier to install an ad-blocker and blanket ban them rather than to vet them on a site-by-site basis.

It's why I like podcasts. Ads there are read out by the host. It's not jarring. They can even be fun they way someone like Bill Burr does it. They don't track me. It shouldn't be my job to figure out for online text-media how to package their advertising in a way that doesn't repel their audience. How about a consortium for advertising solely in quality news-media? Set standards. Feature the benevolent ad promise prominently. Communicate your standards. Have a way for ad-blockers to have a switch for Content R (Responsible Ads).

If they can't make that happen then the only alternative would be some kind of way would be to bundle news media together (a la Spotify for diverse labels, and Netflix for diverse studios) and let me subscribe monthly to a swath of online titles. Kind of like how I get access to a whole host of journal publishers via my university's subscription channel.

Otherwise …

To re-iterate, I can't afford to pay a subscription to every news org I visit online. I won't disable my ad-blocker until quality news media and advertisers figure out together how to deliver appropriate, responsible, and vetted advertising alongside their quality content, just an static image in an appropriate place, not repeated with no fancy CSS or JS.

Maybe (you have every right to argue) that if I can't afford to pay and won't disable my ad-blocker then I should be deprived of the content by a paywall. And I say, fair enough, if that's what the solution turns out to be – I'll go back to buying print media. Is there no halfway house by which my browsing/consuming could be subsidized by responsible advertising thus increasing readership?

Are others in the same boat as me? I'd love to know. How can we make our voices heard?
That may be true, but it leaves me with the frustration of having no other choice as I haven't developed interest on any other subject that would possibly give me a more healthy lifestyle. Perhaps being rich with no worries in the world would help?
I always wondered what would happen if you just remove the trains and the track and just let people cycle through the tunnels.

No. When they have seen all the bugs, they will tell you to fix them and when you make a new feature they will tell you the same thing, just make it work, just ship it.

> Let's address the first reason: malleability. A recent grad presumably will adopt the company's culture faster, complain less, and in general pick up things sooner. Well, the hardest, meanest coworkers I've ever had were late twenties, early thirties. I've worked with people in their sixties, and they're sweet people. Even the grumpy old sysadmin had only a thin layer of spikes. After just a few days I could see through most of it, and he was 10 times more helpful than my other sysadmins. Not only was he softer (at least deep down) but he was smarter, having done it for decades. Even when he met a new problem, his keenly developed taste made him more likely to choose something that would be more maintainable long term.

What if they're right on average, and your experience is the exception rather than the rule?
