As a side-side note, and just for the record, in 1993 existed (I had one) the Compaq Concerto, using the Windows for Pen Computing (a spin-off of Windows 3.1):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compaq_Concerto

My model was a 486Sx 33 Mhz with a whopping 8 MB Ram (default was 4 MB)

I could have written more or less the same review at the time, nice (doing what at the time was more like "magic" or "science fiction" than anything else) it would have needed a more powerful processor, need (better) character recognition, sold for a VERY steep price [1], etc.

At least it needed not a stupid proprietary cloud, it was compatible with most if not all existing software, doubled as a "normal" laptop.

[1] The cost was if I recall correctly around 4,000,000 Italian Lire, roughly 2,000 Euros which at the time was like 3 months salary of a worker.

EDIT: Clear slip of the fingers, it was 8 MB and 4 MB, I wrote GB originally

Production-ready is so complex, it's hard to make any comparison. E.g. for a library, writing good documentation (with diagrams and decent technical writing) takes me way longer coding anyway - probably by an order of magnitude.

Proper unit-testing is also going to take roughly the same time in any language, just because you have to think hard about sensible tests (although I still love mocking/patching in Python, so I'd give it an edge, plus pdb/ipdb for debugging tests is cool). Production-ready also includes deployment, which for anything non-trivial I'd say Golang > Python > Perl.

Finally, if we're talking "serious project", IMO tooling and how that tooling integrates into a CI pipeline are more important than development speed, because as a team or project goes, terrible CI will slow developers more than any language. Although again here I think Python does quite well with decent linting, unit test frameworks, and code coverage options, Golang's opinionated tools are simpler in this respect.

(I enjoyed C# for similar reasons, although I don't think it's kept up w.r.t. tooling - been ages since I used it though.)
It is virtual in the sense that it does not realize the entire dataset in the JS side of the WebAssembly bridge - this is a performance optimization but entirely in-memory. While you can run the engine in node.js and use it to efficiently stream updates to a symmetric engine in the browser, we do not currently implement server-virtualized views.

Though, we have quite alot of experience doing this in the past - and the design of Perspective is very much a reaction to what we learned, at lesat in regards to the typical financial dataset which is much smaller than 1TB.
Propaganda?

MSU measures in SSIM and PSNR. SSIM and PSNR, I think i need to say no more. The one demo was done in IBC with industry expert, but not only that but many other independent test. Needless to say AV1 isn't finished yet so it isn't a fair test anyway.

The latest video show [1] shows AV1 still isn't finished yet. And lots of update and changes were still put into place at this stage of development. So any 2017 made comparison is moot at this point. But with all these improvement it is finally looking like the 30% bitrate savings ( in subject measures ) that they said they HAD from the start.

We dont know the complexity of the Codec? Oh hell yes we do. AV1 is complex, much more so then HEVC. It isn't more cost effective by definition, because AOM has to figure out how do make it much more speedier.

The last report of AV1 is roughly 200 - 350 times slower then VP9. And VP9 is already quite slow. The Reference Encoder for AVC or HEVC were only in the 50 - 100 times slower range. Also worth mentioning the Reference encoder of both AVC or HEVC wasn't even tuned for quality or speed, this is radically different to AV1 reference encoder. Whether AV1 can be optimized to being only 4x slower then HEVC remains to be seen.

So there is absolutely nothing in this pieces that is even propaganda. But lots of valid scepticism, as an industry and business you have to do the maths and calculation. And AOM must work to ensure these concerns are being solved and expectation.

Lastly, just because you like free, royalty free, and hate HEVC payment, doesn't automatically mean AV1 is best in everything. This kind of fanboyism or whatever -ism is spreading like wild fire in every circle.

OP here. I made a silly function that identifies Googlebot, but has 'plausible deniability' built in:

http://www.tomanthony.co.uk/fun/googlebot_puzzle.html

The idea being you could use a function to always send Googlebot down one execution path and users down another, and make it look like you are doing an AB test on a small set of traffic. You could then do something nefarious, such as add spammy content to the page for Googlebot.

However, in reality it is not likely to be a viable tactic for any decent quality site, and unlikely to have much of an impact on lower quality sites that may be willing to risk it.

It is an interesting idea though, and we research this sort of thing such that we can better identify such behaviours in competitors of our clients.

A lesser known program for Windows 3.1/3.11 was at the time the Norton Desktop, see:

that provided, even on Windows 3.1/3.11 roughly the same UI of the Mac OS of the time, very similar, for some aspects, to the later Windows 9x one.

Could you and GP share more about your project management setup (and ways you use it) in org-mode?

I do use org-mode quite a bit, but for project-specific notebooks, I usually quickly get mentally overwhelmed with the volume and mix of finished/unfinished tasks. I can feel the problem is in the way I use it. Somehow the same content, put in a crappy kanban-style web board, doesn't seem as overwhelming (even though it's an order of magnitude less efficient to work on than it is with org).

The speed could possibly be improved by using map. Also, not related to speed if this is all of the code, but might affect it in a larger programs: you should make sure your file pointers are closed. Something like:

with open('interesting.txt') as interesting_file:
interesting = {line.strip() for line in interesting_file}
with open('data.txt') in data_file:
total = sum(int(val) for id, val in map(lambda line: line.split('\t'), data_file) if id in interesting)
More than enough. Chromium takes only 128 bits from /dev/urandom to seed a V8 isolate. You can also use a fixed seed like Googlebot by passing the command line flag

Techies get treated well probably equals higher employee retention, again leading to higher institutional memory, meaning bugs have a chance of actually getting fixed. More happiness probably also correlates with more creativity, meaning that there is also a chance of getting more features with updates.

> Our testing data told us that the main problem was windows not being visible at all times, so users couldn’t see what they had open or access tasks quickly. This realization led us fairly quickly to the task bar design

Hmm, I wonder if that should be reworded to “and then we saw RISC OS and it had a task bar design that we really liked”. I can’t believe that they wouldn’t have known about it.
He isn't basically doing what you're describing at all in fact. :)

The launches are cheaper because of the breakthrough in being able to reuse the rockets by landing them.

That's the exact opposite of copying.
It doesn't seem worse than private companies literally owning people's lives (and having the audacity to call it not slavery). But it seems this is where we're headed, some sort of dystopia ruled by wealthy people.

As for space launches - well, the US Gov did a "great job" at saving what they learned from building the Saturn V, can't imagine them being better at space exploration, either.

Besides, all of the planes and ships are built by private companies, and it's worked OK-ish so far.
I use a lot of Python for web stuff and I haven't been in a situation where Python itself was the performance bottleneck. I always thought that when you run into a situation where Python is the bottleneck, you replace the critical bits with something like C/C++/Rust. Following this approach, you would get the best of both worlds: rapid proof-of-concept/time-to-marked with the option to improve performance critical parts later (which often isn't necessary). Could anybody share some experience with this?
They don't need to buy anything. Related visuals (models and textures of KSP rockets) were already made and are maintained by the community, and all they need to do to crowdsource a test is to post it on Reddit. I guarantee you, hundreds of players will try to one-up one another on that one.

(Hell, I might even be among them.)
I agree with the downvotes in so far as it is silly to still get upset about this (instead of silently admitting defeat), but I am 100% guilty of that folly myself.

It's highly relevant to the discussion because it illustrates just how deeply ingrained these basic UI expectations are. UI (re-)designers take note, in some cases even decades of forced retraining won't make everybody accept gratuitous change.
It's hard to remember, but even though Windows 3.11 was extremely dominant at the time, it was by no means assured that Windows 95 would be the success that it was. The very first version missed wildly in some big ways (MSN was a folder integrated into the desktop, for example, and no TCP/IP support [*Edit: yes there was - I misremembered.]), but the core, underlying redesign of the GUI was so profoundly good it propelled Microsoft into a new level of ubiquity. Compare it to other GUIs at the time, like CDE, IBM's Presentation Manager, or even Mac OS 8 and there's no comparison. Windows 95 solidified Microsoft's dominance, but could just as easily eroded it had they dropped the ball.

Even though I've used a Mac daily for the past decade or so, I still miss the task bar, and window-oriented GUI of Windows. I still get frustrated on OSX when I minimize a window and have to hunt around for it. I wouldn't switch back because of the underlying crap that is the Windows OS and file system, but I still miss the interface.

Edit: Found this fantastic PDF "Chicago Reviewers Guide" which goes over all the new stuff in Win95. So much stuff I had forgotten - TrueType fonts, Plug and Play, registry settings, right-click properties, long file names... Basically everything that makes Windows what it is today.

I somewhat disagree, the author is perfectly aware that putting this code out can cause security issues and is willing to accept patch when necessary. For example 9 hours ago he added support for windows in responses to reported issues. Please take time to read contributing rules before complaining about a totally legit FOSS project:

All changes are welcome as long as no code is involved. If you run into any bugs, please file an issue and explain how that was even possible.

So I kindly invite you to discuss this issue directly with the author through GitHub issues manager as he had invited you.

Lenses in OCaml using modular implicits
Well... that's a small number of "insiders," essentially. The person most vulnerable to the OP's concerns is a rank and file employee with $100k of paper wealth structured as an incentive to stay long-term, the 162nd hire. Equity starts as part of ordinary compensation, but converts to long term employee retention incentives as times goes on and the company increases in value. To be indifferent to these employees' interests is immoral, after you've essentially asked them to make long term decisions based on this deal.

These employees understand the least, have the least amount of information. They have the least negotiation power, and hence have equity deals with the fewest protections. They have the least influence over strategic decisions like this, so their interests come last. Owning so much private shares in one company is typically a bad wealth strategy for them, possibly 100% of their "portfolio." Typically after leaving, iliquid shares must be purchased with cash (exercising options) or the options are lost.

At the very least, (1) employees should have their options exercised, converted to shares at the companies' expense, after vesting. (2) The protections (preferences, anti-dilution etc.) an average investor would demand should be attached to these shares. That would leave them with an asset they may prefer to sell, but at least they unambiguously own it.

Generally though, I agree with the OP. If after raising significant funds and expanding the employee equity pool past 10-20 employees, you can either go for a 5 yr race to IPO or find another liquidity solution for employees. It's possible.

It's like putting a satellite into orbit, right? Up until the rocket stops burning, it's held in place by something, then it's released, then enclosure opens with minimal/nonexistent effect on the payload, leaving it out there...

For some aspects, yes. For the over-all experience, not similar at all.

Sure, here's an article from Microsoft describing how to access and view the source code for their library implementation, ASP/ADO/Forms/etc: https://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/net-framework-library-source... That's from January 2008. This release is specifically what enabled Mono to really go to the next level, more than a decade ago. You can even see the little 'carve out' they made in the license to ensure Mono, in particular, could use the code down in the 'Reference License' section.

You're making a reasonable mistake of confusing .NET Core with the .NET Framework. They're different things. .NET Core is a new development that is not directly compatible with applications relying on the .NET Framework. As you can read on the blog post you linked to, .NET core was announced as open source before it was released -- which was 2015. Its implementation and technologies being open sourced is something altogether different.
I've worked for a well established print magazine publisher in the recent past, and can attest that in a period when online subscription increased by 100x, print subscription shrank by a factor of 10.

Yes. Warren Buffet discusses the elements of this strategy repeatedly in various iterations of his annual letter. PayPal most certainly didn’t “innovate” this.

I've only got experience with Android and MobileOrg is a pain in the ass to setup and sync. The workflow is a hassle.

by connecting via USB and flicking a switch in the options menu, you get SSH access, as well as a REST endpoint where you can upload your files via curl. So if you don't like their cloud offering, you can turn of wifi and be sure your data is local

Maybe it's just me, but why do the defaults for devices like this seem to now always require either a special app or reach out into the Internet? Whatever happened to simple USB mass storage where you can just plug it in and copy files back and forth? The hardware is certainly capable of it.

That said, I don't mind the presence of WiFi, but the default behaviour of requiring one to send files from a computer out far away to some server on the Internet, and then back to the tablet sitting only a few metres away seems rather silly and wasteful.

There absolutely was TCP/IP support in Windows 95 from the very beginning. It was not installed by default but it was trivial to add via the Network applet in Control Panel.
