I don't believe that at all. The obvious reason why they discontinued Android support is because Apple isn't interested in continuing the existing B2B business. They're interested in the technology and the team and they're likely to integrate it into their own developer tools and offer them for free.

Why would Apple invest resources into making developer tools for other platforms? What's the real upside if Buddybuild continued as is and they tried to scale it up? Hundreds of millions in revenue per year? That's a drop in the bucket. Buddybuild's value is strategic, not because it was going to make a financial difference to Apple.
"There are no such things as bugs in code; the computer always executes the code as written."

Loopholes and bugs are differences between intent and effect.
I was talking about backtesting of the models to see if they would have predicted the past correctly. I.e. You run the model from 1970 to today and measure how close the model prediction is with the actual measurements. If it's too far off then obviously the model is wrong and changes are made to try to improve it.
Maven at its core is very simple. The lifecycle is well-documented and so is the dependency resolution.

Many coworkers I've worked with have called it complicated and then I find out they really haven't learned the (very simple) lifecycle and how build behavior gets attached, etc. This is all very simple but it is something to learn.

I don't know why this happens. I think programmers are so used to imperative (ant/Grunt/etc/etc) programming/building that it becomes confusing for them when they encounter a declarative system. And their brain revolts. Because they are like how do I just do a thing (i.e., copy some file somewhere, call a "build" method, etc, etc.)!? Instead of realizing the value of the declarative + idiomatic Tao and learning it...they say no, no gimme gimme let meee do it. Much like my two year old. And then I'm left fighting non-reproducible builds and getting their projects going in my IDE like it's somehow 2005 again. But Maven is great, declarative systems -- especially declarative build systems are the optimal way to do builds (in most cases).
That is an aggressive timeline to drop android support!
Applications like this where the syscall overhead (and latency) starts to be a significant factor in processing time and latency have moved to userland drivers anyway:

DPDK for 10-100 Gbps networking: https://dpdk.org/

SPDK for NVMe storage: http://www.spdk.io/

The queuing and balancing stuff the kernel does makes sense for spinning rust harddisks and residential networking, but when the underlying hardware is so fast that nothing is ever queued, really what are you doing. At 100 Gbps line speed, a 1518 byte packet takes all of ~ 120ns to transmit, or about 360 clock cycles for a 3 GHz processor.

Yeah actually kidding aside, why not that? Maybe the idea is that robots are more like insects than fish, but that seems a bit exotic imo.
I believe the comment you are responding to would say "both".

The learning styles to which they refer is the notion that different people learn better through visual or audio or hands-on experience. Spaced repetition versus intensive study is a different question, one of practice and time use, that doesn't address the question or value of "style".

At least, that's how I understand it. As a casual interpreter of someone else's comment, I could of course be wildly wrong.
We've been tracking this SDK at MightySignal. I can confirm that the apps often record data for some time after the app becomes inactive and that the amount of data sent is enough to represent a full audio stream, multiple requests with sizable blobs per second, bothers me mostly because of the terrible drain this SDK must be putting on user's batteries. It's only present in ~280 low quality android games atm.
> So much Java runs on the server side anyway, where executable size and entrypoint doesn't really matter that much.

This assumption is why developers are abandoning Java in troves with the serverless trend, where exe size and init time matter immensely.

And good riddance!
I'm sure most artists do. Apple reportedly pays about 40% more in royalties than Spotify does.
Hah, that's what you get for rephrasing comments. It used to say "the JetBrains guy who added zero latency mode".
It's also the reason behind ridiculous things like DRM.

The idea that there is a difference between broadcasting and copying, and that computers can emulate that difference is a pipe dream; nonetheless shared by most music labels.

On a logical level it should be treated the same as broadcast radio, however it gets hazy because you can store playlists and play tracks on demand so its really not clear cut. With radio you can hear the song if it happens to be playing but there is no on demand, no playlists.
It makes sense to have a function that is like the common functional “map” but passing the index as well, it's probably not a great design to have it be called “map” and have the basic, no-index behavior rely on the passed function taking only one arg, especially in a language where functions that usually take one arg but also have optional args are common.

Thanks, yeah, someone already mentioned this and I already edited in "contended" to clarify. I was actually already aware of futexes (thanks for the link though, I've never actually read the paper), but I was assuming contention -- the "every" referred to every type of operation, not every instance. See my reply to the sibling comment regarding lock contention.
I would. Every time. I've been happy with bitrise if people are looking for mobile CI alternatives: https://www.bitrise.io/
The whole idea here is to achieve convincing 3D illusion. To achieve that you need to achieve approximate enough 3D cues. With opaque reflector, the occlusion cues is contradicting with the effect we want to achieve. We want the object to float inside, but the occlusion tells you that the object is in front of the cone. Transparency, the parallax you can see between the object and the background and feeling of co-presence all add magic to the final illusion of 3Dness.
You wouldn't have seen Linux Journal on newsstands in recent years because it discontinued the print edition and went online-only way back in 2011: http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/linux-journal-goes-100-d...

Funnily enough, the article announcing that was subtitled "Introducing Linux Journal 2.0"... so this new one should be 3.0 really. :-)
I'm fairly confident that consent is an adequate defense against the charge of rape.

I completely agree that consent can be revoked or modified and that nobody should be passed around like a joint against their will. That's not what the article is describing though, at least not in my reading. The young woman who went to the party did consent, the whole way through, and didn't revoke or modify her consent until she decided to leave, and when she did, she left, presumably unimpeded. Furthermore, neither the woman in question nor the author of the article called this rape, so for you to imply otherwise seems a bit inappropriate.
I love his 60 bazillion sites. I've seen his stuff on lulu as well, but I wished he went into more detail on some of the apps at times. I can mostly follow along, but stuff like rebtris is pretty terse in a way (lot of functionality in one spot).

Yes, AMD doesnt have engineers. They rather throw money into garbage fire like Seamicro acquisition resulting in total loss of ~$300mil than actually invest in developers.

- This is why AMD drivers require 15-25% more single thread CPU power to reach fps parity with Nvidia, basically if you want AMD GPU you need to go Intel CPU).

-This is why their educational outreach is a joke, all GPU computing uni courses are teaching Cuda with Nvidias provided support (materials and hardware).

-This is why there still is no viable answer to Cuda. Forget about AMD and Tensorflow.
Yes, as stated in the blog article, the optimizations they made put it in the same ballpark than Vim.

It's probably faster than Vim if you're using a slow terminal emulator.
> using a gyroscopic sensor to dynamically vary the viewpoint as the user rotates the device

Yes, this is what occurred to me when watching the video. It must know if it being rotated. For the tiger to be seen on the side of the cone you are viewing, it needs to be rendered on the display somewhere between the "nickel" and the viewer.

Someone viewing from the opposite side of the cone would not see the reflection that you are seeing — no tiger on their side of the cone. (Now, in that specific case, two viewers 180 degrees apart, you could in fact render two tigers on opposite sides of the code so both viewers see a tiger.)

No true stereo at all though with the cone. Left and right eye will see the same tiger. Only a sort of "perceived" stereo if you rotate the device.

Poor countries use tax havens as well.

Those countries are the most hurt by the use of tax havens. Many people in poor countries depend on tax dollars to survive.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/may/14/tax-ha...

It's a disgusting practice, that many on this forum seem to have no problem defending. Astounding.
Yes, it's horrifically terrible. The hospitals/doctors you can go to are dictated by your insurance. Having a good job does not equal having good insurance. It's hit or miss. Having a good job does not guarantee you have someone to help you out with the paperwork and the stress from that can and will kill you even if you survive the actual hell that is the healthcare itself (topic of the article).

If you get injured on the job, you have to go through the worker's compensation system which can take months to years just to be seen for certain conditions like RSI. And if you change states, you're fucked because there's literally no one who knows how the systems should work together. The more history you have, the worse. Sometimes you have to lie and omit medical history just to get your foot in the door.

I worry about healthcare and whether I will be able to do my job (writing software) next year, let alone ten or thirty years from now because I simply cannot get the care I need for a problem that's 100% caused by work. This is supposed to be covered 100%. Now imagine how bad people without insurance or people who have otherwise not-covered conditions have it. It's a fucking nightmare for everyone who is not part of the upper class and can afford good insurance and the ability to hire assistants to actually make the insurance work for them, so much so that certain companies have contracted out for such services for their employees. It's a perk of employment that very few employers offer. I'm sorry, but horrific doesn't even begin to describe the situation ... I'm actually at a loss for words in describing how bad healthcare is in the US.
That's true. HN is a little too lean on the markup.

Even though that is considered one its main features, HN would definitely benefit from a markup for quotes.

For better or worse, the answer is yes. Or as I said in a 12/19 tweet (https://twitter.com/ecaron/status/943292264692011009):

When I have some time, I plan to implement it myself for fun & learning. It's a cool effect and the linked paper provides enough detail for others to build something similar. I think building it would be a good exercise for learning about camera APIs, projection mapping (i.e. pre-distorting things so that when they are projected they look undistorted) and writing fragment shaders. When the code gets posted, I think it'll be even more educational.
My problem is that every JS-framework story on HN is full of comments either a) showing a lack of understanding of the tech like the parent, or b) bringing up "fundamental issues" with SPAs which are either nonexistent or long-solved.

That isn't to say some concerns might not have merit, but SEO/SSR/shared routing/state/templates are problems with production-ready OOTB solutions.

If someone isn't familiar with the basic SoTA then they should refrain from commenting so harshly on it.

Have you any idea where you saw this? It doesn't sound right to me, as voter numbers are generally stable to falling the elections I pay attention to, while religion declines. I'm also not convinced that politics is more tribalised (perhaps it is in the US?) but have not read about this either.

Anyone notice that Java is suddenly cool thanks to Kotlin?

I haven't done much more than dabble, but it was an enjoyable dabble. Unlike vanilla Java.

It even compiles to JS with a relatively small-ish runtime. It's big enough to cause problems embedding it, but it's small enough to be workable.

How about "known" in the sense of "there's a significant uptick of ID theft cases here after the breach statistically that sure suggests it was the cause, but we obviously can't necessarily pin down any individual cases on any individual breach"?

a.k.a.: how much evidence is there of actual harm having resulted from the breach?

One thing I miss on every merge tool is full history context for both sides ("side" == ours/theirs).

i.e., I don't want to just see the final state of ours/theirs, but the changes that us/them did in order to get to those final states.

IOW, often, both sides of the diff are nearly identical, and I have to squint to see the actual difference, and make some additional effort to figure out the intent of each side.

A better format would be, for each side:

Original state -> change -> final state

- "Original state" would be normally identical for both sides

- "change" would be tiny and unique for each side, helps you see the intent of each side clearly

- "final state" is normally pretty similar between sides, (which is what troubles me, if no context given).

Maybe I'm missing something, feel free to correct
I think its better to rip off the bandaid. I lived through the Facebook Parse shutdown with a production app where the drama was strung out over a year, resulting in service outages, poor messaging from parse/facebook, and a lot of general anxiety about migrating etc.
> If you cannot make money off of your work within 20 years, it's highly unlikely that this will change.

Is your argument that if I can't make money off my own creative work in 20 years, anyone should have the right to give it a shot after that, even if I'm still around?

That sounds pretty shitty to me. I'm all for copyright expiring, but I'd hate to lose the rights to my own work while I'm still living.
We have what, six major news orgs in the USA (3 networks + CNN, MSNBC and Fox). And a handful of semi-relevant newspapers and magazines.

And aside from political leaning there is no difference between them. I take it you think that's because it's wise to swim in a red ocean? Because they are all chasing the same market? That doesn't make any sense.

I get it, not every outlet can be The Economist. But to call the fluff yacked out by (say) Newsweek journalism is pure fantasy.

In a democracy The Fouth Estate has certain responsibilities. These are responibilites that exist beyond the restriction of "market." To confuse this with commodity reporting is, at best, naive.

Again, I'll point you to Top 40 radio. There are a fair number of times where uniqueness - and dare I say quality - rises to the top. More importantly ulimately they accept and embrace what's there. The dial doesn't move.

I'll also point you to cable TV vs "traditional" TV. Game of Thrones, Sapranos, Walking Dead, etc., etc. The market went for that.

Star Wars was shunned and not expected to be what it became.

You're blaming the market and there's minimal - if any - opportunity for the market shows it wants otherwise. Instead we get "me too" reporting being passed off as journalism. And you believe this LCD approach is market driven. God bless you.

All this would be comical if the healthiness of The Fourth Estate wasn't so important. As it is, I'm having to convince someone of decent pedigree that journalism and reporting isn't the same thing. They are not. Cats are not dogs either.

I'm not sure whatelse to say.

Good luck.
The JVM doesn't suffer from slow start-up time:

https://purelyfunctional.tv/article/the-legend-of-long-jvm-s...

But frameworks (and runtimes for things like Clojure) absolutely do. It would be possible to write a fast-starting framework for Java, but i suspect nobody has because there's no demand for it, because nobody who needs fast startup uses Java, because it doesn't start up fast!

That said, i think the real reasons Go has done so well in devops are (1) it's easy to pick up for devopsists coming from Perl/Ruby/etc backgrounds, (2) static binaries are easier to deploy than a jar plus a JVM (not massively easier - but easier enough), (3) a focus on systemsy stuff in the standard library and community, and (4) sheer snowballing momentum, in that Go has become the default choice for stuff like that.
This Utah model[0][1][2][3]?

I'm all for getting the homeless into homes, and for the chronically homeless perhaps sending them somewhere cheap and giving them a lifetime of social services is the answer. But the majority of homeless are not chronically so, these people need economic opportunities, and the places with the cheapest housing are also the places with the fewest economic opportunities. If we want to prevent this class of homeless from slipping into the former group then finding ways to provide them housing in booming cities is preferable.

PostgreSQL: Fix for intel hardware bug will lead to performance regressions
I can see how it would in some situations. From the article's description though it sounded like a lot of the women at the parties worked in different fields. So, while I fully agree it would be a problem for the CEO to be hitting on interns, as an extreme example, I don't see the power imbalance of a rich guy from one field hitting on a woman in a different field - provided there is no implication of coercion (e.g. it would be a problem if a powerful investor threatened to get a real estate agent fired if she didn't sleep with him, but it's not a problem if a rich investor hooks up with a real estate agent because they like each other for whatever reason, even if his reason is that she's pretty, and hers is that he's rich).
> There is literally no evidence for the extraordinary and outlandish claim that this happens "all the time".

I've worked at multiple medium sized companies that bonused executives who went to optional political fundraisers, but it is anecdotal evidence at best.

Some companies also run very public PAC's for the same purpose. They may or may not discretionarily bonus employees who donate to the PAC, I haven't worked at these places so I don't know first hand, but I wouldn't be surprised.
There have been a spate of breakthroughs from the NHS in recent weeks. Sceptically one might think that 10% would be viable in the long term.

That is because the "war on ..."-metaphors are pretty much bullshit talk. If you want to look like a strong person, that takes an issue seriously, declare a war on a concept... Its a simple propaganda technique, aimed at people, that are easily impressed by bellicose statements. But it wears off quickly. Especially if one considers how other "wars on concepts" are going (war on drugs, war on terror)
