I remember in Marketing class they taught us about "Herb the Nerd".

In the 1980's Burger King was expanding and as part of this came a big advertising campaign centered around a nerdy-looking guy called Herb, who was the only person who hadn't been to a Burger King. If you could spot him in a Burger King restaurant, you could win money. It was a colossal failure, and instead of increasing customer volume, ended up having the opposite effect and decreasing it.

Why? Because the overt message of

"Herb the Nerd" <-> "The only person who hasn't gone to Burger King"

was shortened in people's minds to

"... Nerd" <-> "... Burger King".

It's fascinating: indirect/subtext messaging will beat direct messaging every time.
Should we ignore wind and current? If you are in a medium that has winds and currents, and you do not touch your yaw controls, how will you know if your course remains on a straight line?

You either adjust your compass bearing (also correcting for magnetic variation), or you adjust course.
yeah, that's a sticky problem unfortunately. on the plus side real transcoding is pretty rare given h264 is pretty much everywhere now. most of the "transcoding" gnomecast does is repackaging an unmodified h264 stream from one container format to another, which FFMPEG can do at 30-100x (rather than 1-2x for real transcoding).
So if this lossless video over ethernet thing ever trickles down to consumers, what happens?

Can my computer monitor become just another network device plugged into Ethernet like my printer already is?

In my living room, can I ditch the video routing part of my AV receiver and just plug everything (streaming devices, video games, cable box) into a very fast ethernet switch?
Oh I see now. You want to run the raw kernel with no front-end on the remote machine and communicate with it via the 0MQ/JSON transport layer. I'm curious, what is the advantage of doing this vs. simply running an instance of Jupyter on a remote machine?
Nice work! Although the UI looks too similar to Postman IMO, it's a great way to showcase what's possible.

I'm not a fan of Java so I'm really excited that with Kotlin (& TornadoFx), this can actually be a very pleasant environment to program in.

We didn't encounter it by chance though; we encountered it by complex goal-directed physical processes that are known to produce extremely high distictiveness-to-kolmogorov-probability outputs.
I appreciate the followup and reply!
Oh hey, that's quite a critical comment. But usually the best comes out of criticism. So let me go a bit deeper to explain our case.
layerJS is not implementing a single UX effect. Then it would be indeed a bit too big for that. (Actually using jQuery + 1 plugin per effect would be even bigger)
layerJS implements a general UX concept that can handle basically all UX navigation pattern. It actually thinks HTML further: Instead of documents that are linked and loaded one after each other it actually links fragments (frames) into different views (stages) in an animated way.
With regular HTML documents you need code everything that is dynamic. And that actually makes things more complicated because you can't see from the declarative HTML how the final UI will look like. layerJS makes the UI layout and most of the interaction declarative, so everything is clearly declared in static HTML. And i think that the boilerplate for this is pretty small.
So your notion that some of the declarations should be in CSS or so is totally agreed. But we can't do this right now because the browsers do not support this yet. So for example the scrolling example is not working in pure CSS because we are actually allow something like "background-size: cover" (which usually only works for background images) to actually work on any frame while still allowing (or not allowing) scrolling. This we have to implement in javascript today and for this we need something like "lj-no-scrolling".
If the browser guys find the concept intriguing they may at some point implement similar mechanisms directly in HTML. For now I see layerJS as a polyfill for these concepts that may vanish at some time.
I hope i could clarify things a bit. Please let me know if that raises more questions. I really appreciate your long feedback, even if negative. I know from experience that out of those often good things arise!
You can still use Kotlin + TornadoFx (https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx)

I interviewed at a place that started by having me do a HackerRank test online, and complimented me on my code and comments. Then the in person interview ended with a coding test involving a much simpler problem which I assume I failed, from my perspective due to the pressure of limited time and people talking at me. It's hard for me to figure out what was going on, unless they basically thought they were testing to see if I cheated on the first test.

However, I haven't experienced repeated failure of a consistent type, so I'm not particularly motivated to worry about this sort of thing. I do know that different companies have radically different processes, so if someone tells you "you're not a good fit" it may be completely true and not a negative judgement at all (even if that's how they mean it).

It so happens that I got my undergraduate degree about ten years later than is typical, and thus I can pass for someone that much younger than me, at present. So in an interview, it is tempting for me to give away my age by reminiscing about computing in the 80s, and that could have caused me to be rejected a couple times but I will never know for sure...

Paying $4000 a month on a one bedroom apt, means throwing 48k away a year. Tax is about 35% so your take home income from 150k senior salary is ~50k. That’s not a lot of money for “all other expenses”.
Unless that’s your brand - see Volvo.
I always laughing when I'm thinking about it. A lot of tech people complained about Java being resource-hungry. Just to get another more resource-hungry technology. It just means that those complaints are not very serious. If people like software, they'll use it.

Wallaroo: We’ve heard your feedback, here’s what’s coming
I think he’s talking about the other CEO. Musk is 46, meaning he couldn’t have graduated in 76.
Neat approach. I've also seen public facing trello boards used to varying success (at the very least to give users a hopefully clear picture of what features/issues are prioritized)
> Nobody [...] writes fundamental algorithms, you use libraries and classes from the language you're working in. Most people don't work in compiled languages anymore, and if they do, they don't write their own compilers.

This is sad thing to say. I'm a sysadmin, and I'm regularly using the
knowledge about algorithms to assess which data structure to use in my
programs, I've written recently a binary search function (if we're talking
about fundamentals), more than once I needed to write a priority queue that
allows fast(er than O(n)) updates to random elements, and I assure you that
I'm very happy that I took the compilers course, because I've written several
parsers (one more interesting was a translator from a simple query language to
SQL, to easily extract data from inventory database). And I am a sysadmin,
I'm not supposed to write that much. What went wrong?
Whenever I see a ridiculous reaction on HN (like on the Signal/AWS article a few days ago), I just wait and watch how the same folks bend over backwards to defend Musk.

I support the position that the people who live in that locality should determine what happens there. In a sense, I support the status quo—because that's the way it is right now. But instead we call that NIMBYism. The whole YIMBY movement is trying to move things up a few levels so that people who live outside of a building/block/neighborhood/city can determine what happens within.
Is this the source stream that gets turned into the GitHub BigQuery public dataset?
Again assuming the uniform random distribution. Select from (1, 3, 6, 7, 9, 11) is just as random as selecting from 1-100.

I would argue that not specifying the boxes have a specific order is a much larger problem, but saying 'random' does not nessiarly mean what you might think. As to moving the cards, they are specifically excluded from communication.
Companies shouldn’t be expected to dominate. If you make any consistent profit, you are a successful business. If you are 2nd in a huge market, that should be applauded.

Yet instead, why does it seem that companies are judged based on how well they siphon just a bit more from customers, how well they completely monopolize, or how obscene their profits are now versus last quarter?

Absolutely. I just don't think omarforgotpwd's stereotypes about the young are a good counter to stereotypes about the old. Its not a victory to replace one prejudice with another.
It appears you're saying that "A YIMBY's only valid political stance is to advocate for the destruction of the building they live in, otherwise they can be safely ignored."

I'm assuming I'm wrong, and I sincerely hope I am. "Saint or GTFO" arguments are pretty facile.
We're speaking of mobile CPUs and LPDDR4, here. In other words, viable designs for laptops with good battery life that don't weigh 8 pounds.
#1 is not true for bazaar-style (ie. rather few inertia) open-source projects, say the Linux kernel. At best, subsystem maintainers can push their own agenda, but even this level of control is rather limited. However, I do concede that it's rather true for non-profit focused cathedral-style (ie. lots of inertia) projects, say, the BSD.

#2 does not mean that code is crappy at all, unless you consider that not writing down every single assertion made by a developer who wrote the whole subsystem as "crappy". In which case, I can assure you that all software is crappy. This might sounds as a huge generalization, but unless infinite amount of time and money, everything is a compromise, especially when deliveries are constrained.

Devs who are working daily on the codebase tends to know these compromises way better than newcomers. That's my point.
First, I presume your studies have more substantiative work, such that the ratio of IRB overhead is lower. A large part of his problem stemmed from basically just trying to formalize things that were already being done anyway. This certainly doesn't mean he should be exempt from any additional overhead, but it does set the priors for the "smell test" when the answers to various questions are rejected outright rather than iteratively clarified.

There does seem to be a few points where ethics do directly conflict with his desires (eg getting explicit consent to be "part of a study" versus priming the patient), but reasonable stakeholders should be able to mutually work out their real concerns, rather than go off the rails with arbitrary bureaucracy - say, ask the question first for the clinical purpose, and then obtain consent to incorporate that data in the study itself.

> - Patients signing their consent forms using an alterable substance

You're really referencing the signatures being in pencil?! I don't see how this could possibly be construed as a strict ethical requirement. Please do enlighten.
Programmers are not just welders, or should not be equated to welders. Welders have a blueprint, generally, to work from. There is someone who’s had to design how to form the thing being welded.

Software engineers are constantly asked to design and build the things they work on. It’s not a straightforward process of sticking two things together, based on some predefined blueprint.

We make the blueprints while we code. On top of that, systems as they come together sometimes show problems that need fixes, because of the scale of the system. Then we need to completely redesign for the newer bigger problem.

Using the welding analogue, sometimes you start building a BBQ, and end up making a bicycle or a rocketship.
If you want affordable housing, remove the regulation that blocks people and companies from building high buildings.

Great move from Amazon. Don't take more bullshit from the bloated State.

It's obviously much less pretty than WD2 and GTA5 (heard there was a fancy re-release though?), but it feels much more alive. And I suppose the 'wild west' environment being less demanding than a modern city helps too.

The Debian security team doesn’t patch packages from the non-free repository, like the 7-Zip RAR support:

I've never had this work in a cube-farm. It is apparently too easy to just assault you in person, even when you are obviously deeply concentrating.
I don't claim the moral high ground. I'm just saying that YIMBYism is a farce.

We need more housing. We should rezone certain areas. But we should be honest about it. This is a needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few argument, not some fake pseudo- altruistic bullshit.

Speed in Software Development (2014)
I'm from near Research Triangle Park in NC and have to say that the weather is miserable all summer, just horrible. The traffic is abysmal, and everything is strip malls and McMansions. You can top that off with the insane gerrymandering in NC that prevents the most populace areas from having any political power. Locals are quite hostile to new-comers, and the government keeps trying to tell people which bathrooms to use which is just bizarre. Yeah, BBQ is great, the schools are good, and low taxes are nice, but NC really misses the mark for me in a lot of ways. Having grown up in the area, I am not a fan.

I don't know too much about the other places.

Disclaimer: I work on the Asylo Team

We started with C/C++ mostly because that's what we need for the bottom layer of a POSIX-like stack. For instance, to use OpenSSL we need to be able to build C and if we wanted to support, for instance, Python we would need to build its C language components. Some of the applications we want to target include Redis and SQLite and, again, there we need C and broad support for POSIX APIs. Ideally, those applications would build for Asylo out of the box, but we have some work to do to get that to work.

Going forward, we are very interested in broader language support. For instance, we are currently working on support for Go. Rust would also be interesting because it (potentially) offers an orthogonal set of security guarantees at compile time.

Generally speaking, optimistic updating should have some type of UI to subtly display the network status so the user is aware of what is going on under the hood, but the network activity doesn't block them from performing additional actions. This model brings a whole boatload of complexity to your implementation however, so be prudent with where and how often you apply it.
Did you know the "knowledge" thing is a meme? Google Tai Lopez Knowledge
Yeah, unfortunately, the C64 couldn't offer you that, at least not in that generality. For one, it only supported 16 fixed colors, not RGB values. On top of that, its 320x200 pixels could not be addressed individually unless you constrained yourself to monochrome, i.e., only two colors: one background and one foreground colors (out of the 16 mentioned above). There were, of course, graphics modes that allowed more colors but in return gave you more restrictions on the solutions.

Interestingly, by abusing some architectural oddities, people have been able to create new graphics modes on the 64 that support more colors than the original 16 and in hi-res. But it's still not as easy as set pixel (x, y).
I'm not familiar with these types of calls, but might it be possible he's trying to avoid getting into the nasty bits in front of all of the investors collectively in the hopes of swinging back around and dealing with them individually?

I've found that strategy to be pretty effectively employed by "perception management" types elsewhere. You know, guys with "reality distortion fields?" When you have a large group of people you're trying to maintain context for, you can end up getting into circumstances where you can get caught at giving contradictory statements more easily. Once the group catches that, they tend to dig and twist, and have further ammo for doing what you, the presenter, DON'T want.

Isolating said group members allows you the luxury of being able to devote your full attention to spinning the perception you're managing to only show what you want them to see without getting caught with your pants down by someone else you spun a yarn for previously.

I could be wrong of course, but I've seen it before.
Hi all,

I'm the VP of Engineering at Wallaroo Labs and the author of this post. I'll be keeping an eye on the comments and aswering any questions that might come up.
Efficacy is a bigger problem than safety. Think about all the products you see advertised on a typical day (especially if you watch TV). How many of thing actually work? Anti-oxidants, probiotics, shampoo with gobbledygook ingredients in it, homeopathic teething ointment.

For the most part, all this is just a waste of time and money. But for medicine, things that don't work create an opportunity cost--someone uses an anti-oxidant-packed cancer treatment and dies. It's a basic information asymmetry that exists in the market: its too hard to prove that things work, and the wonders of modern marketing ensures that lots of things that don't work still sell like crazy.

Efficacy tests address that problem. But proving efficacy is hard and expensive. But they're probably not "too expensive." That is to say, if you made clinical trials cheaper by just testing for safety, you'd probably suffer a net economic loss due to people spending money and dying from products that don't work than you would on the trials.
Minneapolis if you ignore the weather for 6 months..
Agreed entirely. It's shameful how big tech corporations have not been doing enough to champion better housing and transportation in the neighborhoods they are located in, while spending feel good PR initiatives on endeavors abroad, or lobbying in D.C. for regulation that benefits them directly.
this is a very valid request. And we are thinking about it. But note that layerJS is not a collection of effects. It actually uses the same mechanism for every effect (that's the concept behind it). Maybe we can off-load some of the routers and some of the transitions types...
