> Oh, I see, I think. So for the sake of argument BB(10000) could be, like, 5. But there's no way for us to know that for sure because BB is non-computable above a certain N. 5 itself remains just a number. Takes a bit of the drama out of the topic.

Sure, although BB(3) is already larger than 5 and every BB number is much larger than the previous one, so the specific estimate of 5 is probably going to be more of an understatement than almost anything anyone has ever said. :-)

> (And while "Aha: BB(10000) is NOT 5", one could make some function BBOBB(N) := BB(N)/BB(N-1), and maybe BBOBB(N) for whatever reason is 5 for some large N, but is not computable and thus can't be proven so. Or something like that. Which also takes some of the drama away).

BBOBB(N) also grows faster than any computable function, and for N≥4, BB(N+1)>BB(N)². So also it's not going to be 5 for any large N.
Panera has a really good model (Rapid Pickup) whereby preorders are name-tagged and shelved on a self-service, grab-and-go counter.
Starbucks designs their stores' flow to have cashiers near an ingress point and the orders are usually delivered at the far end of the counter from where queuing starts. Starbucks has signage indicating "mobile order pickup here" and it's usually in the same location that normal orders are delivered. I would probably wait in line at other stores but at Starbucks, I can see my order waiting for me with my name written on it. I don't feel like I'm jumping the queue -- most folks probably can't distinguish my order from one that was placed at the cashier.

In NYC, saving up for the down payment on an apartment with a 30-year lease basically requires being able to hold a reasonably high-paying job for 3 years. Real estate is definitely way overpriced, but it's not exactly insane either.

I believe this is implying that developers take Atom (and other Electron apps) working fine on their computer and believe Electron app products they build will also work fine on any computer their end user may be using. So that particular line doesn't apply to the original "which editor is faster" article, but it does apply to the context of this article.
I have had to send cash to my sister a handful of times recently. Because her bank (Bank of America) stopped allowing cash deposits to any account other than your own, the most convenient and inexpensive way to do this was through Walmart, which has its own money transfer service. You can arrange the transfer through an app, then you go to an express line at a Walmart store and complete the whole transaction in under a minute.

The problem is that Walmart underestimated just how angry its typical customer would get by seeing someone skip the line (even though there is a special line for app-based transactions). Of the three times I have done this, once I was called expletives by a couple of the people in line, and a second time a woman simply decided to come up at the same time I was called up and insist that it was her turn, not mine. Only after the cashier threatened to call security did she go wait her turn.

It turns out that the typical Walmart customer tends to already be stepped on by the rest of the world a lot during their normal lives, and being slighted in a Walmart seems to be a bridge too far for most of them. So while I enjoy the convenience of skipping the line, I won’t be doing it again. Stores that offer features like this need to consider how their clientele will react to others skipping the line, and engineer the experience in such a way that normal customers don’t feel slighted.
Every time I see this video I am blown away by the technical skill involved. I would have difficulty creating this with video editing software, let alone writing assembly programs to inject into a game to actually do this. The Portal song in particular stands out, the only other game that I know of that tries to do voice playback is the Pokemon Yellow Pikachu cry you hear at the beginning of the video, and it's rough at best. I know this program isn't faced with the same size limitations as an actual cartridge, but it's still incredibly impressive.

Do we know that this is true for features of vision systems in the same way it is for the system in general?

Sorry, I think I expressed what I meant the wrong way. Not that no one idolizes Tony. What I meant was not all the people who liked him and liked the movie idolize him. I liked the movie not because he was rich or someone to be idolized.

>but plenty of people look at that as the actions of outside actors and not the consequences of his behavior.

That's the recipe for a great story/a great movie: The great moment in storytelling is when the viewer/reader starts to see the world as the protagonist sees it. The viewer stopped caring about whether the protagonist was objectively right or wrong/moral or immoral, the viewer starts caring more about whether what they did given the situation make sense or not.

That is - given the situation, could/would you have done the same? The answer for me in the cases of Tony Montana, Scarlett O'Hara, Michael Corleone were a really convincing yes.

This has to be one of the most dishonest pieces of writing I've ever read. Why stick the thesis, namely: "envy and resentment are good," at the bottom? Why pepper the article with Marxist terms like "late capitalism"? Is it maybe because the author is trying to trick you into agreeing with them?

I thank the author for keeping me on my toes about intellectual dishonesty.

There are ways to determine the relative size of numbers even when you cannot write down the digits. It's how we know TREE(3) is larger than Ackermann(20) (or maybe larger than any description of simple recursive uses of Ackermann using only Ackermann(20) symbols -- so even [It's Ackermann sub 6 applied Ackermann sub 5 times to Ackermann sub 5 and so on, where Ackermann sub 1 is the Ackermann function] doesn't get close). Notice that claim is strong enough it doesn't matter what number you start with. 20, 3, a googolplex. It's all basically the same size.
It's novel to me; never worked anywhere that required high level PCI compliance or that scheduled log reviews. Adhoc log review, sure. I think it's a fantastic idea regardless of PCI compliance obligations.
TFiR's interview with Richard Stallman
Disclaimer: I am from the Asylo team

The Asylo framework has partial support for POSIX APIs and system calls. Each programming language implementation that implicitly depends on system calls in either its generated code or runtime environment will need to be inspected and tested. Languages that depend on unimplemented system calls or POSIX APIs to provide basic functionality will pose some challenge, depending on just which system it needs. If a runtime forwards calls to non-crucial system calls that Asylo does not currently support, then Asylo would need extending to satisfy the linker with at least a stub implementation that calls abort().

Asylo does provide support for basic I/O, sockets, and threads, so basic language functionality within Asylo should not be a significant challenge. We welcome any pull requests you might have to support your favorite language.

Developers using Asylo still must be concerned about writing buggy code. If you write past the end of a buffer with user data passed into the enclave, that code is still vulnerable. We haven’t fixed that part of the software development process.

Stupid question department:

W3c and IETF or other similar clever folks really like security stuff and do lots of clever things to make us safer. So why couldn't we create a http browser/server authentication method that has something closer to a nonce-based challenge/response mechanism? If it were standardized, the browsers could even do some clever hashing of some peer addresses or other things that we think should be static. All of the browsers could still present a "username/password" field that looks remarkably similar to existing forms but never reveals the plaintext password to the peer.

As long as I could type my password into other browsers on other computers and still get the same result, it seems like it's moving things forward. It would be opt-in, traditional username/password forms would continue to live on for decades to follow.

So what am I missing? Presumably something like this was considered and ruled out?

EDIT: yes, of course, I forgot about the existing HTTP authentication mechanism(s) in RFC 2069. I don't know why it never caught on but the fact that the browser uses modal dialogues for these means a significantly different context/user experience.

Everything you listed is something pocket casts does very well. And it doesn't have any overhead as far as I can see.
Make no mistake: this is nothing more than the old "treacherous computing" that RMS warned about a long time ago, but coming back in new clothes, and is going to be used the most by DRM and other user-hostile applications. They're just trying to sneak it past everyone under the guise of "security" and other ostensibly-somewhat-friendly uses, but don't be fooled.

The clock problem is, as it seems most philosophical problems I seem to encounter, one of definitions. It's a game with words. It doesn't change the underlying facts. You had a good reason to believe proposition X, and X happened to be true, but your reason to believe X was not causally linked to X's fact-ness. Whether you want to call that circumstance "knowledge" or use some other symbol to describe it does not change the underlying fundamentals at all. And so all the millions of hours of thought that have been spent on this problem have been wasted.
I've listened to 37 days, 9 hours total, and have saved 28 days 22 hours.

- 1 day 5 hours from skipping
- 25 days 19 hours from variable speed
- 1 day 12 hours from remove silence
- 8 hours 28 minutes from skipping intros

I'm most surprised by hour much "remove silence" has saved me.
FWIW I'm pretty sure both the devs who did this and both the other devs who code reviewed it would claim the same thing...

Like other people are saying - the toolchain should have caught this. And it should have, I don't remember how it'd been disabled...
I worked 80 hours a week at a startup for about six months where we weren't sure we were getting paid unless we shipped to customers so we had to get things done but I was the only programmer at that time. I worked 12 months in 70+ hours a week crunch on one game project (I found documentation here https://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/131533/postmortem_bli...) - remember the motivation speech was we had to finish or we were all getting fired but I never felt like it was ever as hard as the startup - it was a larger team effort so I was hardly ever the one thing holding up progress. YMMV.

I do not believe that an apples-apples comparison between the Tokyo and Madison real estate markets would justify the equivalence you've drawn.
By the legal definition, sure, but in common usage the word "overtime" is usually qualified as "unpaid overtime" if that's the case.

Invoking the word "overtime" to mean "unpaid overtime," especially by young team-members, typically results in uncomfortable coughs, silence, and expectation setting from managers / senior members of the team, none of which would be necessary if, like the word "crunch," the unqualified word carried no connotation of payment. I've seen this happen many times in a number of settings so I'm pretty sure it's not just a regional quirk. Connotations are important.
Same here. I bought a cheap 4gb laptop and put a light linux on it just for coding away from home. All electron apps suck the life away while sublime runs like a dream.
It seems like sticking a CDN in front of the static map API could be used to reduce costs quite a bit there as well, especially if you forced it to cache more aggressively than the cache control headers returned by Google indicate. Has anyone tried this?
> They're also on average the wealthiest age demographic in the US.

That's true, but it's a bit misleading IMO. Older folks might have accrued more wealth than younger demographics, but they're not really adding to it each year.

For example, the 65-69 age range has a median net worth of ~$194k[0]. However, somebody in that age range is likely retired and will be living off of that $194k for the remainder of their life. Conversely, somebody under 35 might only have a net worth of $6.6k but will likely be bringing in ~$4,000 each month. Were an individual in the 65-69 age range to withdraw $4,000 per month, they'd be out of money in 4 years. Realistically, most might withdraw around $2,000 per month (before or after Social Security). That's where my parents are at. They really have much less to spend even though they have a lot saved up.

If you take into consideration home equity, it's more apparent why property taxes and such are a big deal to older folks: upwards of 80% of their assets are in their house[1].

A simple "on-line orders pickup" sign/queue is how most places handle this. Panera has a rapid pickup section/shelf, or at some places you can sit at a table and put in the table number for your order (although I'm not sure if you should use their app after the recent Panera security post on here).

The bank transfer issue is another thing entirely. Zelle is suppose to fix that issue in the US, even though most other countries have this figured out:

https://penguindreams.org/blog/the-american-banking-system-i...

But from what I've read, Zelle has a lot of the same issues as non-bank services like Venmo.

So I haven't shopped at a Wal-Market since 2009. They offer some app/pre-order services, but they don't have a sign for pre-orders or on-line transactions? .. or they call out your name? How does their system work? How do you think it could be improved so it didn't look like you're jumping the queue?

The whole point of Asylo is to provide a hardware abstraction layer to make applications portable across different enclaves; it's the opposite of reinforcing Intel's position.

My main concern is not "reinforcing Intel's position" --- it could just as well be AMD, or ARM, or any other relatively tiny group of hardware manufacturers; the point is that everyone else is giving up and handing the ultimate control over their computing devices and the software they run to a small group, and that is most doubleplus ungood.
