Eclipse is a direct descendant of IBM Visual Age for Java, which branched from VA for Smalltalk.

VA was an excellent tool for Smalltalk insofar as it allowed you to work with a big soup of classes, abstracting away source files to the point of near invisibility.

Fitting Java required a bit of shoehorning, and I must admit VAJava was an acquired taste for me. I had to sink or swim as VAJ was the official tool of my job work environment.

Having grokked VAJ, Eclipse was a godsend for me. It was similar enough that I had little learning curve, coming from VAJ; and it was a complete, professional IDE for $0. At the time Eclipse was gifted to the Java community, the alternatives were either costly or minimalistic and crude.

Eclipse continued to get noticeably better from release 1.0 to the early 3's, and I was honestly excited about each major upgrade. I would say that yes, this was Eclipse's Golden Age.
I'm not disputing your main point, but I do have a relevant sidenote:

Like most politically charged post-regime-change trials, the T&RC in South Africa is widely regarded by knowledgeable parties as mostly a sham/show trial. You can read more about this in e.g. R.W. Johnson's books such as [0].

For context, Johnson is a Rhodes Scholar, self-avowed communist, and longtime ANC sympathizer (since long before '91), which IMHO lends his few critical-of-ANC opinions mainstream credibility.

If you disagree with him for some reason, it's easy to find other observers who fit your political taste to corroborate his claims.

The Gopher took a nice cozy corporate job and is sitting now in a cubicle. He wears a suit and a tie instead of Hawaiian shirt. It's a serious business now.
Superresolution microscopy. It blew through a long-standing limitation- the best resolution was determined by the wavelength of light passing through a lens. That and other recent discoveries in microscopy like light-sheet microscopy have turned microscopy on its head.
Emacs was designed with the mouse in mind, you can get pretty far just using the toolbar and menu items like you normally would. My understanding is that Emacs users don't typically work in a shell, they use the GUI application.
Australia is legal too and probably a very healthy industry.

Thanks for forwarding that. In case you're curious how I'd respond to them...

Let's see roughly how much I made, for every year of my life:

45 to 30 years ago: $0 (well, maybe some allowance)
25 years ago: $5,000 in a year
20 years ago: $25,000 a year
15 years ago: $50,000 a year
10 years ago: $100,000 a year
5 years ago: $150,000 a year
last year: $250,000 a year

Okay, now, if you ask me when I'd like to have paid less taxes - or received some UBI... And when I'd be willing to pay taxes, and when I'd be willing to pay it forward, the answer is very clear to me:

UBI + Free Education + Free Healthcare + Progressive Taxes

I think trying to turn someone who ends up making $40,000 a year into someone who ends up making $70,000 a year is worth investing in them, early on in their career.

I'm also willing to give up several things:

Minimum Wage, Union Protections, government mandates on "if you work X hours a week, and the business has Y employees, the business needs to offer you Z benefit"

I believe in education like Sam Seaborn [1]. I believe that automation is really on the verge of granting us essentially infinite Supply of very many goods and services. I believe that UBI + Progressive Taxes are the right way to distribute the benefits of automation as fairly as possible, while still benefiting from the advantages of a capitalistic market.

That's my stand.

Not sure why I could not reply to your post so will reply here.

Find the questioning on the entire stack just baffling with Google.

People - Google has the strongest team of AI experts in the industry by a wide margin. At NIPS this year Google had more papers excepted than anyone else. The big AI breakthroughs come from Google. They solved Go a decade earlier than anyone thought possible. Would put FB #2 with AI experts but a very distant #2.

Google miles ahead with SDC.

Plus Google is able to attract the top talent better than anyone else.

https://unsupervisedmethods.com/nips-accepted-papers-stats-2...

Applications - Search, Photos, Speech, AlphaZero, Self Driving Cars, Google now has over 4k NN in production. Nobody else even in the ball park. Hand down the leader in applications.

Infrastructure - Tensor Flow now has 98k stars on GitHub. It is the canonical AI framework in the industry and really nothing else close. CNTK is #2 with 14k stars. But Google ads about 7x per days stars.

https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow

Then there is Google cloud infrastructure and their other engineering talents which are well ahead of anyone.

I can go on but this is so incredibly silly. There is little question that Google is leading at every layer of the AI stack by a wide margin.

This is so silly I suspect something else going on here. We do not seem to be discussing things based on reality.

Is this about Damore?

BTW, Nvidia can only spin up what they know about. Google does not share everything but luckily they do a lot for Nvidia.

In 2018 you just have to run the infrastructure to be long term viable in the chip game.
That's whats mentioned right at the start of the article?

I don't mean the topic is off-topic. I was talking about the level of technical detail.
my girlfriend is the Program Manager of the Mordor study. when i told her this was here, the first thing she said was, "everyone's going to freak out about resistance. just tell them they've been using these antibiotics in the region for decades and have been measuring and monitoring resistance levels."
This is fair, it's just not realistic for a lot of places. In the places where I've worked and interviewed people, this was not my main responsibility. Typically I'd get a resume that morning and have to prioritize looking at it along with whatever else I had going on that day.
Recently I've been working with some legacy Win32 C/C++ code and had the thought, why don't I take all of these hard-coded #defines and Win32 message numbers, window-class names, etc. and put these magic numbers in an Sqlite database instead?

Of course I'd be loading a lot of data from disk into RAM that would have simply been encoded as immediate values in the executable before. But my rough estimate still puts this at (at least) an order of magnitude less RAM than abstraction layers like WPF use.

And that's when I realized: we jumped from severely resource constrained designed straight to completely wasteful designs without adequately exploring the design space in between. To paraphrase Richard Feynman's quote, "There's plenty of room at the bottom": "There's plenty of room in the middle."
I'm talking about things like PEX, which drastically simplify and reduce the time needed to plumb a house. The construction industry as a whole seems to be making a huge investment in time-saving innovations.
> Maybe they should make a stackoverflow for women. The answer doesn't have to be right, it just has to make you feel good.

You're being a shithead. This isn't about men or women, and feelings are not exclusive to women. For example, I am sure it doesn't feel nice to be called a shithead.

However, it's inaccurate to assume that the problems on SO stem from how these mythological women feel. There's a disagreement and lack of clarity on the purpose of the site. That needs to be resolved.

Moreover, the site has become a big enough platform that it now it needs to answer the question whether it exists to serve the needs of the users, or primarily to serve its own assumed purpose.

I don't know why the SO blog chose to highlight women, poc etc. as the ones inconvenienced by this. Poor move on their part, as it seems to have targeted these populations as the cause of the problem.
I’m based in the U.K. and curious about what company that does what you do. Am I allowed to ask what the company you work for is?
It will be interesting to watch Cuba now.

Like it or not, there is at least a change in tone from Obama to Trump in what the US is willing to accomodate in Cuba. There's this whole debate going on about Trump's effect in the Korean process, but Cuba will be a much cleaner test.
That's reducing things to a logical extreme and removing all considerations of practicality. In the end, that's not a good way to look at law, or the nitty-gritty of the world for that matter. If you find someone with nude photos of yourself, and you didn't give them to them, then you can conclude that those photos were obtained illegally. That fixation on the distinction between "technically just posession" and "creation/distribution/etc." is not really helpful.
I'm a rare breed of designer + developer with 20 years of experience and I've been involved in branding projects with marketing agencies too. I agree, branding is hard, pleasing humans is hard.

In the case of Go I think both the branding and the logo are a mistake, objectively speaking.

I get that in the briefing they conveyed to the designers the idea that Go is a fun programming language, but both the client and the designers completely ignored the target audience. Developers, specially Go developers, care about reliability, performance, convenience, stability, etc. None of these characteristics is expressed in the brand other than "fun" above anything else.

Subjectively speaking I have a strong reaction against the brand. I'd rather have the old ugly gopher than this which I can't identify or empathize with in any way.
This just confirms my strong distrust of online messaging with a stranger. Life is short. If you can't agree to meet me for coffee and conversation in a neutral location, I'm not interested.
Wait, they identified it AND managed to get it to tell them its name? Wow!
I don't think pair production makes more sense, it's probably Compton scattering because all QFT interactions using Feynman diagrams are expressed as particle interactions.

Neither do I. I don't find any harder than Visual Studio.
Amen to this. In '89, a Sun Sparcstation 1 ran a decent implementation of UNIX with a GUI on a 20 MHz processor with just 8 MB of RAM. Now we have dual core processors running at 700+ MHz and 0.75GB of RAM used to power smartwatches that do vastly less. I mean, sure, it's technologically impressive and all but one has to wonder what the devil are they doing in there that requires all that power?
So only NUCs will get Cannon Lake after all? With rumors that it contains a discrete Radeon 500 GPU it might be the first cheap Steam Box for everyone...
You shouldn't care about people possessing child pornography, because if you do then it's because you should have "paid more attention to your kid and improved your parenting". Got it. Have a nice day then.

EDIT: I know I shouldn't reply to trolls, but your drivel ticked me off so, dumb as I am, I'm going to respond.

Yes, criminalizing possession of child pornography reduces the consumption, and therefore demand, of said child pornography. I'm sorry if this offends you, or that you think your "freedom" (to own child porn?) is threatened by this, but I rather think reducing the number of child abuse cases is a worthier goal than stroking your misplaced sense of worth.

>What next, are you going to make the government threaten to kill others if they refuse to feed your kid through taxation because you bred despite the fact you are unable to feed your kid?

Oh you're one of those guys. You just couldn't resist the urge to shoehorn your agenda and announce at the top of your lungs: "look at me guys! I'm rugged and tough and I don't care about your kids! I am so smart!".

>many perverts on the Internet are probably also masturbating to these photos

That I don't give a shit about, and I never said that I did, so you can store your straw man back in the cupboard. What I care about is measurable decreases in demand for child abuse content that are the result of criminalization of possession.

Finally, kindly knock off your stupid fucking derisive tone. I would wager a considerable amount of money that you wouldn't talk like that in person, with anybody.
I don't know the answer to your question but I wouldn't compare modern sloths to ancient ones. They're each adapted for completely different environments.
How does a ban like this tend to work? The chemicals can no longer be sold in stores? Or you can buy it but are not allowed to apply it to your fields?
A friend of mine used to work on US Airforce C-5 Galaxies - the second largest aircraft in the world.

When hunting for pressurization leaks in the cavernous aircraft, they would throw toilet paper rolls into the air, and look for the direction that the streaming toilet paper was sucked.

Once they threw a toilet paper roll, and it was sucked out of the aircraft so quickly that they didn't spot the "leak" location. So they got a blanket, throw that up, and it was gone too...
I signed up with every agency in sight -- Monster, Reed, Manpower, whatever. I had saved keyword queries on all the major agencies and sites. I joined mailing lists with job ads -- I recall https://www.environmentjob.co.uk/ had some interesting ones, but many, you have to pay your own way, and I was broke. I went looking for as many ads as possible.

I had a file of application letters, needing minimal customisation to fit. Copy, paste, add salutation/role/location, attach CV, send.

My CV is longish -- 3 pages -- but then, so's my career. I've done what I can to optimise it for keywords that will get hits when pimps do searches.

The CV didn't get customised for specific applications unless I really wanted that role and thought I'd be perfect for it. It didn't help. I don't bother doing it any more. I maintain a "writer" and a "techie" CV, just in case.

Every morning, I would make a cuppa and breakfast, sit at the PC, read a few comics and the news, then start applying. I'd keep going until there were no vaguely relevant positions left. It took from 2 to 5 hours most days.

I logged every application in an OpenOffice/LibreOffice spreadsheet: date, title, reference number, agency. Every fortnight, I signed on at the Jobcentre, and took the printout of the last 2 weeks' applications to get it initialled as evidence. I needed that in August; by then, the printout was about 2cm thick.

I probably still have it somewhere. Perhaps I should put it on Dropbox for people to see the evidence. :-)

Actually Eclipse was a product that IBM designed in the 90' : VisualAge (I used it at that time, it was really slow on an average computer).

In the 2000 IBM renamed it "WAS" and it was its main studio for J2EE (Websphere) developpers. Some people really liked it.

Then IBM opensourced it as "Eclipse". This name was perhaps a pun on "Sun".
Yes, but once Moore’s law really stops, the need for product iteration will too, unless you can get functionality gains from increased performance. Once you start caring about performance, you’ll rapidly realize the “productivity” languages slow you down.

For example, try to compute CRC32 checksums of 100 byte arrays at bus speed in C/C++ and then in the higher level language of your choice.
It’s pretty naive to think that any disparity between sex drives is a social construct

I always like the idea of what EV Certs are intended to be, I just don't think the browser exposure to general public users has any value.

Factoring in EV Certs for systems that are scanning the internet and trying to separate things that might need more validation...think news agencies and the search engines or social media that distribute their content. This illustrates both the benefit and the consequence of that model at the same time.

It would be ideal if there were some type of EV appeals committee to deal with revoked certs that could mandate a revoked EV be reinstated in a situation like this.

There is a place where using the EV model of more comprehensive verification can be beneficial...it's just not to the general public in a browser bar.
I think they mean to say "being bloated like an IDE is slow, here's how to not be slow because of bloat". Or at least thats what I got out of it
Or you could use a public and well-defined bit sequence, such as binary digits of pi, and distribute the XORed sequence.

You might even decline to mention which well-defined bit sequence you used, and just leave it as an exercise for the reader to try XORing with pi, e, phi, sqrt(2), etcetera on their own.
I don't think the NK desire for nuclear deterrence has ever been about deterring SK - as you note, they've already got plenty of conventional deterrence there - but SK's US allies.

"If you hit our leadership with a bunker buster we'll wipe out LA" is something new for them to be able to credibly claim, and likely makes them feel quite a bit more comfortable.

> It seems in these comments people are resistant to credit Ams because that would admit the current admin’s strategy is better than the prev admin’s failed strategy and people are loath to do that for political reasons.

It may be a better strategy, but I think we'll only know that years from now. Lots of potential potholes lie ahead.
It's not just due to wanting to function on a remote terminal. You also have your hands on your keyboard while typing, so taking them off from there to your mouse and back to your keys will almost always cost you more time than doing it with keyboard shortcuts.

And in case you're not aware, you can install gvim to give vim somewhat of a GUI.
I'm a biohacker (by training) but a computer hacker by vocation. It's clear the HN community has an abiding passion in the deep relationship between information and computation systems. I just want to make sure the less experienced readers don't immediately jump to making naive conclusions by making weak analogies between computers and biology.

Yep. As a professional developer, I'm way over being excited and enthusiastic about Java; on some days, and having sampled more modern languages, I downright hate it. My guess is that the grandparent poster is mistaking this disillusionment for a decrease in demand.

Like COBOL, I believe Java will continue to be the bread and butter of application programmers long after crossing popularity curves with a dead slug.
Yeah, doing blind hiring won't fix most biases. People's careers are reflective of the oppourtunites that they have had and blind hiring seems like it has the potential to just reinforce existing societal biases instead of eliminating them.
If you want to have the argument that a "thing" can mean "information" I wish you all the luck in getting a partner that agrees with you. Personally it's both for me, depending on the occasion.
That doesn't really apply here does it? My comment is only in reference to S&P500 companies, that the OP to my comment referenced.
I think you are right with respect to the need to hit the accelerator on growth through sales and marketing. Great products do not sell themselves. I think that having some notion of how to get a product to market and how to market that product is essential.

I thought this article was interesting and touches on your experiences:

It's not a feature problem—Avoiding Startup Tarpits

https://hackernoon.com/its-not-a-feature-problem-avoiding-st...
Wow lots of bad information being said in the comments. My take as a B&M and online shop owner:
If I see a business using Square that's not a coffee shop, I will probably not go back because I expect them to not be in business too long. It's a terrible platform. Same goes for Weebly. If I see an ecommerce website ranking well and using weebly for ecommerce I will have a team member research the market and then we beat that website in ranking. That being said I've yet to run into that for weebly platform specifically. It's that BAD.

2.4 mm annually is considered a small business? On what Planet? My experience says that's a very successful SB to say the least.

200k per month and not on Amazon? And your using Stripe/Square/Weebly and not getting InterX Plus? Tell me your website again..?

Considering rates, square is usable at 5k/mnth or below, avg ticket $10 or below. Now if you were laundering money square is great since they do 0 background checks. I'm looking at pizza joints in Brooklyn... you know who you are.

TLDR Square and weebly are terrible platforms for people that dont know any better. Ditto for Wix. I LOL IRL when someone says they use either of these platforms.

Buy me a ticket and I will work for free (JS Dev, 5+ yrs)
Hello everyone,

Sitting in my current job as Frontend Developer for 1.5 years, I have decided that it is time to do something different,
I want to give my time to help startups or NGO's or just people with ideas with my skills.
I have been developer for 5 years mainly in IOT and Fintech and now I want to travel, work and learn more about different cultures.

My main skills are in React, React Native and Node.JS. When I started my career I also was PHP developer with knowledge in Laravel and similar Frameworks.

I have EU passport so no need to worry about VISAs that much. Any country is welcomed.

I am willing to work on your project on site up to 2 months half time, but you have few things to do for me:

* Buy me and my wife a ticket to your city (my wife is also willing to volunteer so that's a bonus!)

* Accommodation for whole time I am working on your project. It doesn't need to be fancy, just a clean room with bed, shower and internet will do.

* Pocket money for Food and Transport.

I am also willing to work full time or longer than 2 months but for a good reason.

So if you want me to build you a website or web app, or even a mobile app - buy me a ticket and see you soon!

If you are interested, contact me at freelancing4good@gmail.com
You can find them if you look. E.g. tsmc 7nm is roughly equivalent to Intel 10nm in most dimensions. Samsung's 7nm is almost exactly intel 10nm in two dimensions. Etc etc.
Yes, it will run on your system X11 obeying your .Xresources. I have never tried using update-alternatives to replace the system-wide GCC (or any piece of software for that matter).
Up to a point, yes.

I tried to use as broad a range of places as I could find. I bought the Guardian every Thursday for the ads in the Tech pull-out, until they cancelled that. I subscribed to Computing and Computer Weekly and went for any print ads in there, too. I applied to a few from New Scientist as well, borrowing friends' copies or going to the local libraries.

There are indubitably many ads for each role, and also fake ads for agencies wanting lots of people on their books, but you can't really tell real from spam, so I just applied for them all.
