Iron Tower Studio bussiness review: 3 years in indie game bussiness
When seeing an annoying popup with what seems to be a bot in it, people just happen to write shit in it. Even if it's just to annoy and waste time of that particular company.
Reading this left me with a complex feeling...

On one hand, I am glad to say I have been practicing the given advice for many years. On the other, I am intimidated at the notion that others learn anything useful without doing so.

I hope you see the irony in accusing them of that in a post announcing that the compiler just got better.
I don't know about the other studies, but I assume they were short-term? I think I remember one of them being only 3 months. That could have been the issue, as I believe calorie restriction leads to a slower metabolic rate. So if you need 2,000 calories, but eat 1,500 for a year, your body should get used to eating 1,500 and maintaining your weight (after losing some initially before it adapts to fewer calories).

But I believe intermittent fasting where you eat the same 2,000 calories but just shorten the window of eating to allow your body to crank-up the growth hormone and start autophagy does have long-term benefits, that should lead to prolonged life.

And of course, a calorie isn't a calorie. If you eat 200g of net carbs a day, intermittent fasting probably won't prolong your life too much, but it's also going to be more difficult to do IF when you're body is used to having high-levels of blood sugar and insulin in it.

Or to put it in simple numbers, every startup founder needs ten employees, who themselves have to not be startup founders. Unless 90% of the people who reach age ~35 die, and then 90% of the survivors die at ~50, there is no way to guarantee an entrepreneurial career path to everybody. Or, I guess, robots waves arms.

What I suspect will happen is that people will be able to leave dead-end jobs that are stressful and provide little to no value to them. Which in turn might crash the economy, because while not having the next Juicero isn't that big of a deal, not having anyone picking up the garbage on time is a real issue. Or, it might end up with employers offering a fair salary that fairly redistributes the gains in productivity afforded by modern civilization (I almost wrote this with a straight face). In any case, UBI is not just a money redistribution scheme, it's also a power redistribution scheme, because it gives you fuck-you-money, or at least the next closest equivalent.
There hasn't been inflationary pressure in the last 20 years. We can print money till the cows come home and we'll still be stuck in this economic nadir.
Is it they who didn't "budge an inch", or you, that despite a reasoned explanation, insist on the original accusation?

Not to mention the underlying insinuation, that the Rust compiler developers are dumb for not being able to get at the 80s compiler's level of speed -- since you don't seem to accept that this is a byproduct of the advanced optimizations and security guarantees they do.

If memory serves well, this wasn't ever possible on mobile devices in the first place. Countless times I've googled an image of something I want to show someone, found a result, clicked on it to zoom in (because the image search result page doesn't support zoom) and ended up on a page that doesn't even contain the image itself.

I'm not sure what limitations were the rationale for not providing this option on mobile but selling this change as an improvement is ridiculous -- especially when it was made to avoid (more) legal issues.

Umm yeah, they've been a part of every ML-family language since the '70s, OCaml, Haskell and Rust included.
While I care a lot about typing lag (but not at all about autocomplete), if an editor doesn't start fast, or at least has a client-server model where the client starts fast, I'd drop it after 5 minutes.

That's one reason to care about program size, though less so about the basic binary as about how many extra dependencies it has, and certainly what else it does during initialization matters (e.g. many Emacs configs does DNS requests synchronously in the critical path on startup, and end up hanging until timeouts trigger if your network is down... Fun times)

RAM usage I agree matters less. I can't remember the last time Emacs warned me I was about to open a large file. My own editor is so RAM inefficient it'd bring my laptop to its knees in no-time if I were to open a huge file. I'm happy to fall back on another editor i I for some reason ever need that. Though with many application RAM usage is large for all the wrong reasons (my editor would be in that category for other people; for me it's the right reason: it keeps it tiny and fast for me to hack on for the time being - but I don't inflict it on other people (yet)).

But it's still useful to evaluate on these criteria, as they may matter more for others.
Actually hot-linking in that way is often considered bad form because it can incur bandwidth costs, sometimes significant, for the image host.

The stores of the French chain Fnac - which sells mainly books, movies and consumer digital equipment - often have coffeeshops inside, where you can sit with a book if you buy something. And during working hours, they're usually quiet enough. I'm not sure if they have wifi, but I've seen people studying there.
They don't. Not according to the article. Not if it's a neutral logo or an Asian guy. They only do so if it's a female face on there.
Is there a portal like-place to share our findings of ISPs generally in the world so that others can work together with better transparency?

I do data analytics and data engineering and a couple of months ago indirectly I have been contacted by an ISP in Spain and they literally were collecting every bit of data that their customers were seeing on internet (websites, timestamps, how much data were transferred and etcetera with the user's id and basically in another table name and address). I was shocked how easy they were talking about it. I didn't accept but for sure someone has done it! I never heard the name of the ISP, I wish I didn't bark at them so fast and I could collect more information about them.

Good point, thank you. I did not realized I might be implying that.

Image search finds images mostly based on the text that is placed near the image on the webpage.

So, with your search engine, you'd put in keywords to describe an image, it would then look at the webpages' text to figure out, if the image on there might be relevant, then it would present the images that it has found, so that you can select the webpage that you want to go to based on the image which's surrounding text on the webpage suits your keywords.

That does sound like a cool concept for a search engine, but ultimately just the regular web search will do the same without the fuzziness of images added in between.

As a result, I don't know anyone who uses image search to find a webpage.

>At some point you can no longer say: "This is an isolated incident".

The problem with this is there's really no such thing as an "anti-sexism" story. No one posts news about how they worked at a company and everyone was just a normal person. That's not news, that's just life. It happens all the time, and in fact it's probably happening right now within a few hundred meters of almost everyone reading the post, yet it will never make the news. Moreover, the vast majority of news articles on this site are analyzable as containing an absence of sexism, but that's not an "anti-sexism" story either.

What I'm trying to get here is that the signal you are listening to is unidirectional. If you're incrementing a mental counter of "how many sexism-related articles have I seen" without any way of decrementing it then yeah, eventually you'll hit a number you dislike. That's not because there's any meaning behind your metric though, it's just because you've structured your metric in a way that means given infinite time, you'll hit /all/ the positive integers.

Anyway, that doesn't mean that sexism isn't a major problem. But it does mean that you, jakobegger, don't know if it's a major problem or not.
How to Start Learning PHP Programming Easily. February 16, 2018
>Jonathan Reynolds MP, Labour's shadow Treasury minister, said: "This new report from the RSA raises the right questions about the future of work and the long-term challenges we face, including making sure automation and the changing nature of work deliver a fairer, more prosperous society."

Instead of pretending that our iPhones were all just built by magic Chinese robots (or soon will be), the UK could instead decide to enact policy changes that grows rather than bleeds our manufacturing sector.

I don't think policymakers understand the long term risks associated with trade and currency policy pushing manufacturing to places like China. Building a dense industrial ecosystem - exhibited in all its glory in markets like Huaquingbei - is simply impossible in the UK under current "free" trade policy. This means startups like OnePlus (which grew out of Huaquingbei) won't and can't work in the UK - which should worry people.

One day we're going to wake up and find out that China can switch off the flow of hi tech goods to the UK overnight - components and finished goods alike - and the rude surprise will be that industrial ecosystems take decades to build. Neoclassical economic models buries this problem in assumptions, so most economists are just as blind to this risk as they were to 2008.

The fact that we let our industrial ecosystem rot while they steadily built theirs up will come, if we get cut off, in the form of a highly inflationary shock and ultimately a shortage of hi tech goods.

Perhaps then the notion that trade and currency policy created to appease banks and landowners ('unfettered trade'), rather than companies that actually make things and created jobs ('protectionism'), wasn't such a great idea.

Enacting basic income (which will, by its nature, also be very inflationary) with those kinds of medium term risks hanging over us seems unwise when its impetus - the shortage of good jobs - was artificially driven by bank friendly trade policy that can't last forever.

Seemingly the path to UBI leads to UBOF:

>The central proposition is the creation of a Universal Basic Opportunity Fund (UBOF): an effort to reimagine how society supports people to live meaningful, contributory lives.

>Its premise is simple: fund every citizen under the age of 55 with a £5,000 opportunity dividend for up to two years, taken at a time of their choosing over the course of a decade.

>The fund would initially last for ten years, with dependent children also eligible for the payment in the year a parent, or both, were receiving it.

It's funny how Silicon Valley is like a fish in the water. They don't see the water, because they are in it. Technology is like putting a V8 engine on the skateboard of evolution. It accelerates the shit out of everything.

These people that are commenting and being sexist, trolls etc. are hurting. Most of them don't have the awareness to realize it. Their attention has been hijacked by the superstimulus of the 21st century. The 24/7 media, sensationalist headlines, addictive apps ( facebook, twitter, instagram, snapchat ). Everything there comes to them in a blink of an eye. But life is not like that. Real life doesn't move at that blistering speed. And it creates dissonance, that hurts.

Everything is amplified with technology. I've been there. I've been an addict, but I got my head out of the water as well. Once you see it, you can't go back.
I always assume that they might be. So I always use my own perimeter router/firewall running pfSense. Plus I use VPN services. And so my ISps don't end up seeing anything except encrypted streams. And have no visibility into my vLANs.
I'm horrible about tabs too. But I mostly use it as a "I'll use this page again in a moment". Often that's true, but often I also just end up leaving it around.

My solution was the OneTab extension for Chrome. It gives you a button to click to close all tabs (with some ways of marking exceptions), and adds them to a page, so you won't lose them. It groups it by date, from newest to oldest. It makes it easy to come back to the things I left in tabs "in case", while keeping the tab count down.

In effect I find I come back to quite few of them, but knowing I can makes it a lot easier mentally to press that button.

(And now I'm off to do just that before doing some work)

And so by people having to demonstrate what they will use the money for will kill one of the benefits of UBI, the low administration cost. That and you can be sure that once they collect this information sooner or later some politician will come along and put the clamp on it for certain people as soon as the economy turns a little for the worse (which no doubt will make things even more worse).

This is the main reason I want a basic income. I want persons who have a job to be the same persons who want that job. If nobody wants that job then there is something wrong about that job - maybe it doesn't pay well or maybe the job conditions are horrible. But in any case, I think we will all be better off if our workers are people who want that particular job rather than people who are stuck with that job and can't afford to quit.
A popup window with a female avatar starting a chat with you with a generated message reminds everybody of a "hot singles in your area" ad that pretends to be a chat window.

Thanks for your work on the ec2 AMIs.

Just deployed a lambda script that spins up a FreeBSD ec2 image that checks out, compiles, and runs the contents of a dynamically provided git url, with dynamically specified pkg and pip dependencies to make my own long-running FreeBSD-based lambda-esque service for some continuous deployment.

Wouldn’t have been possible without the ec2 images and the configinit magic.

IMHO every programer has a unique style to some extent, you just need to spend enough time looking at their code to start recognising those specific patterns. For some of my friends I can always guess that code is theirs by the way they name variables, how they structure the logic and other small details. So I guess you can just pick any elegant programming solution and try to replicate the logic on your own, and then compare it and see what they did differently.
Ideally a cofounder. It's usually a win-win deal, pay them a little now but a lot when you have money later. And unlike tech, marketers usually immediately bring in income. If they believe in the product (as a marketer should), it would be a great deal for them.

If the product is mature and generating income, you might be able to work out something like a 5% deal or less, with minimal payment.

But if you don't know anyone, I'd still take all the blog posters I could find. We used that as our main marketing medium because of cost effectiveness and it worked out really well for us. You might end up partnering with a blogger too, like I did.

If you're reading programming books as practice, and think you're supposed to copy the code examples to learn, you're doing it wrong. If you need eval() to figure out what's going on, you need to spend more time practicing the basics, then step up to the book.

It doesn't matter. Once one company wins in court, it sets a precedent. It attracts more companies to follow the same path as they'll think they have a better shot at winning. Google obviously wouldn't risk this.
TBH even when I see a chatbox that isn't a bot (aside the automated greeting) I assume it's a minimum wage tech support drone in some low cost country. Especially when they have a cliché American name ("Dave", "John", "Adam", etc).

I'm not the kind of person that routinely insults chatbots but if I'd see a portrait photo of a woman I'd likely assume it's a bot, simply because too many companies use fake photos of smiling women because someone told them it's good for business (though this article makes me wonder if that trend might finally change).

The memory safety checking (or more generally, the type checking) isn't what makes the compiler slow. That part is pretty fast because it's intentionally modular.

It's the cross-module optimizations that make the compiler slow. Those optimizations are in service of C++-inspired ideal of being able to use layers of abstraction to make your code cleaner, but having the compiler flatten them down so your program still runs fast.
