Yeah - he could have been nicer. No question. But notice his guy didn't quit. People who worked for him seemed to actually admire his ability to be dedicated to the product and make decisions based on what was best for the product. That's pretty rare. And it was not personal with Jobs - he was just so upset that reality differed from the ideal.

He was deeply technical. He began his career as a programmer at Atari.

[Edit]
Jobs had many traits that would lead a psychiatrist to classify him as sociopathic - not mass murderer type, but the psychological type. For example, his complete lack of empathy towards his daughter, who he refused to acknowledge for a long while. One of the weird traits of sociopaths is that to navigate world that requires understanding of empathy and emotions, an understanding they don't have, they build models of human behavior and can choose to deploy those models when required toward their aims. What's interesting also here is his ability to be singularly brutal to his subordinate, while at the same time be completely empathetic to the customer's view point. Just my amateur psychologist 2c, but that combination of brutality on one side with solicitousness on the other adds weight to my view that he was a high-functioning sociopath.
I would agree with this. Emulators typically are missing a few features, so moving from emulator -> vim should work okay. On the other hand, I've never had success going from vim -> emulator. It's always missing a few key features in my muscle memory that completely destroy my productivity.
I use a white noise generator at night as I live near a major street. More customizable than a fan, extremely compact, and won't affect the temperature. Just putting this out there so people in similar situations become aware of this option.
Yeah, I definitely don't like hearing that, because phones can fuck right off. That's not my computer, that's someone else's computer that they're letting me use.

I'm not going to get a smartphone just to use Signal. I'll use my spare laptop instead, that I already have, and just run Signal on it. It's not going to get compromised by Boogeymen From The Scary Browser Tab because I won't be running a browser on there.
For all the "big" Google projects they use a proprietary system called piper.

I think all their open-source stuff (Angular, GoLang, Android) uses git (and sometimes Gerrit).

Although given Google's scale, I'm sure there's some teams/projects that use Mercurial.
Over the years, we've seen reddit increasingly turn into an echo chamber. I've been personally voted down for telling people in a general subreddit that the anger they feel about ${Political Party A} is the same way that the opposition feels about ${Political Party B}.

What mechanisms are you planning to implement to, for lack of a better phrase, increase exposure to and improve tolerance of different points of view? Is strict moderation the only way to keep groups, or entire sites, from becoming friendly to only one point of view?
Because something takes a long time to do doesn't necessarily mean that it is complex...
That's a fairly broad field though -- there are some analytic philosophers who were/are practically mathematicians, and who certainly helped advance logic and related fields. On the other hand you have analytical people who are working on the "big questions" like ethics where the same questions from ancient times get asked over and over.
Instead of just naming the bad actors, what stops the FDA from taking action against them? If there's no generic available for a pill, pharma companies won't care about bad PR - people have no choice but to buy their product.
It is not only used by telcoms. It is also used by utilities. So an unpaid bill on your broadband service can lead to a higher deposit when you move and sign up for electricity or propane.
Great project - just wanted to mention Cortex which is a different take on long-term large-scale Prometheus.

Best to read the design document [1] to learn more about the different choices that Cortex makes.

Also no connotations of large-scale destruction :-)

I’ll repeat my question: How so?

I don’t know what “magical” lane you’re referring to, since I don’t believe in magic. Are you trying to score rhetorical points by using such language? Does it make you feel better to attack strawmen?
Go started on Mercurial and then eventually moved into Git.
I seriously doubt it.
Git didn't have a proper version number or extensibility field in its protocol? That's quite a bit of hubris.
Schopenhauer contends that works of genius will scarcely be recognised by the creator's contemporaries simply because understanding genius takes significant intellect, with which the majority of 'living' humanity is not endowed. But over time enough people will exist who can understand a work to raise it to the stature it deserves. This makes time a good filter (but obviously not the only criterion).

I tend to agree with Schopenhauer.

I'm pretty sure rayiner knows what the concept is, he's criticizing it for misusing the term "natural" and he's replacing it for something that is actually natural.

Besides, current property is quite far from the Lockean concept of mixing your own labor and only taking it when "there is enough, and as good, left in common for others", which the original "natural right of property".

There are notable exceptions. The Bambi DVD, which was created in 1942, is listed on Amazon for $28. In 20 years, it will be $50.
The field is absolutely saturated with people who want to be a data scientist but have no experience. This is where some of that gate keeping comes from.

What are the data science "gotchas?" A lot of people can pick up basic programming in a weekend, but they wouldn't necessarily know what they don't know and might well get deeply mired in problems with concurrency or algorithmic complexity.

It's such "gotchas" which justify gatekeeping. Otherwise, gatekeeping is just unproductive manipulation of the market.
'Tis true we don't know the backstory - but Steve may have tangled with his guy before, he may have tried diplomacy with him and before and found it just didn't penetrate his defenses, or he may have felt the display was necessary to nudge another one or two of his troops who were present. Or he may have wanted to create a viral story to prod his troops and the situation provided him the perfect opportunity. I've known bosses who planned and scripted their explosions (and the topic of them) days or even weeks in advance and then waited for the right moment in front of the right crowd to present itself, if the issue was sufficiently critical, to pop their cork spectacularly. So we can't necessarily assume Jobs was impetuously undiplomatic or just fumbled the diplomacy aspect. I do believe there are instances of Jobs exhibiting diplomacy and politess.
Maybe you should read on the excesses and failures of Taylorism ?

Jesus NPR has been really heaping on the neoliberal propaganda in the last couple of weeks.

Look we’ve already been in a trade war for 10 years. Except it hasn’t been tariffs, it’s been currency depreciation which in turn helps exports. The thing is though, just like tariffs, it doesn’t work when everyone does it...

One thing that will work though with tariffs is stopping the flow of global capital. Global capital flows so fast between so many countries, it destroys the notion of sovereignty. It makes the law, even for tough-as-nails EU regulators, really hard to enforce.
All three of those guys were/are clueless about business until Jobs made their ideas work.
Robotic Rules of the Road
I maintain that my cofounder is a genius (computer vision and signal processing), and he's one of the kindest nicest people I have known.

Being good at something and not being toxic to humans you interact with are absolutely orthogonal -- it's just that a lot of geniuses can get away with being douches, that we let it happen.

What law are they breaking?
Fascinating counterexample about Dennis Rodman, though: Gregg Popovich famously decided Rodman was too much trouble and got rid of him after only one season, vowed that he would never tolerate a player like that again, and ended up winning five championships and counting, while building a team that remained a serious contender almost continuously from 1999 to, frankly, the moment Kawhi Leonard got injured last year.
A bunch of companies are going to do this and then regret it when they notice that their competitors really didn't have to do much work to become compliant.

Woz is a notable exception to your rule.
Saridon but all the same I guess. Not my wording though, but the doctor's.
Neither of those things is relevant to the point I was making. The legal costs often incurred by firing someone (and they are very real) makes it more difficult to fire them. Also, the time spent by employers dealing with legal issues is very expensive also.

The fact that it isn't unique to the firing process doesn't change the fact that it often makes it more difficult to fire someone (again, even if the case goes nowhere the employer often has to deal with it anyway - costing both time and money).
I guess I meant, how difficult is it to have a OpenGL component with relatively arbitrary OpenGL commands issued from Rust. I don't really care if the buttons are rendered in OpenGL or not, but I need an OpenGL pane inside a normal GUI. Imagine a Rust CAD application with a QT GUI.

QT-3D doesn't really fit my use case unfortunately.

At my work one part of the interview is a System Design test, where the candidate is presented with a problem and we ask them to come up with a system (i.e. by gathering requirements etc)

Usually this means drawing stuff on the whiteboard with boxes and arrows. Not looking for the perfect system or 'correct' solution, just really having a look at what the candidate is experienced in and how they think.

Whiteboards are fine for that use case, and can be very expressive.

Doing binary search trees and stuff though doesn't seem as useful really.
Or, more likely, an oversight.
It all amounts to little more than our industries hazing rituals.
There is a missing piece of complexity here and other comments regarding "asshole" behavior.

The story recounted here is a concise demonstration of some aspects of leadership — decisiveness, fairness of discussion, and as mentioned the confidence to steer a large company.

But in these stories the means by which those aspects are demonstrated are colored by toxic masculinity. The rage with which Steve is attributed, the combative or abusive belittling he was known for & demonstrated here is the the very same toxic interpersonal dominance normalized by mass culture as essential male behavior.

There are emotionally supportive ways of doing exactly what Steve did. Perhaps his success could have been even greater had he executed what seems to have been an innate wellspring of leadership ability with a supportive disposition.
AIUI, the git ssh protocol is just the git protocol tunnelled through ssh. So why do they need different mechanisms for signalling V2?
I think whiteboards are much better than the remote code-as-we-watch stuff, which is even more common and not a good way to measure actual work skills.

Not being allowed to pump your own gas has always fascinated me. I believe Vermont also has the same law in place. Or maybe it was New Hampshire?

Does the overall price increase as a result of not being allowed to pump your own gas? From the gas station standpoint, they would need to offset the wages given to the station attendant. Is this difference passed down to the customer?
Same here. I feel I have vastly more control of my work performance over the course of 30 days than I have control of the assessment of 6 interviewers after seeing me for 30 minutes.

In other words, I think there is far more than 50% chance that things work out after 30 days and far less than 50% chance that I impress 6 interviewers.

Something something about simple rules being able to describe complex behaviour. Example: you can describe a flock of birds in motion around an object with 2 or 3 rules.

One would suspect there would be a certain appeal for clandestine purposes, assuming one can make them hard-to-attribute. Plausible deniability is a useful thing for nation-states. Just look at Russia.
There's a fascinating amount of shamelessness and unwillingness to admit when you're wrong, though, if you're willing to drive people 100% in one direction one day and then completely reverse course the next while making it sound like it was their fault.

If your job applications emphasize the same material as this comment, it's no wonder you aren't getting callbacks. You say you've got a wide range of programming experience. Great, that's usually evidence of intelligence. You say you've done AI in some fashion. Also good.

Then you go off on a jag about how simple the math is and how easy to implement the algorithms are. Totally true, but this isn't what data scientists are paid for. Data science/machine learning positions are more about understanding the limitations and pathologies of the algorithms, the data, and their interactions. This isn't necessarily hard, but it can be -- and the pay tends to scale in proportion to the difficulty. Since theory doesn't provide much guidance -- you can learn everything that anyone knows in a year -- employers will necessarily prefer someone who can demonstrate practical experience with data. Selecting for PhDs is one way of filtering for that.

If you've got experience with data, emphasize that and you should get callbacks.
It's a meme passed around the right-o-sphere based on deliberately misreading laws and/or constructing insane scenarios.

I love Woz, but he's demonstrated no ability to create an impression in the marketplace since his time working with Jobs (arguably an unfair assessment as he largely retired). Jobs turned Pixar into an animation studio and gave Lasseter a place to practice his talents. Ive was working at Apple for years before Jobs came back and put his talents to use (not to mention that Ive's design efforts are only one of a huge swath of things Apple started knocking out of the park after Jobs was back in the chair). That's not just success-through-association.
I thought Linus Torvalds was almost wholly responsible for the initial development of git? Even so, everything, especially software, is easier in hindsight....

Completely agree. Take the branding out of law making. In my home country and I think most former commonwealth countries you instead see acts with names that are simple and semi hierarchical, e.g. this would just be something like “Copyrights (Ammendment) Act 2018”.

Got a new change to a crime? Well that all goes in the Crimes act, so that would be the “Crimes (Ammendment) Act 2018” instead of the “Drugs Are Anti Patriotic and Congress Persons Spensoring this Are Good Vote For US” act.

Far simpler and saner.

At the time Linus was the sole author/contributor of git, and he needed a replacement for BitKeeper in a hurry. BitKeeper had been made unavailable for Linux kernel development because the proprietor of BitKeeper was really unhappy that Tridge had reverse engineered the protocol and created an open-source client[1] which could talk to the Bitkeeper server. Linus created the first version of git sufficient to do a kernel commit in ten days[2].

[2] https://www.linuxfoundation.org/blog/10-years-of-git-an-inte...

(As Tridge tells the story[3], he telnet'ed to the bk port and typed "help" so it wasn't that much of a reverse engineering effort. :-)

The Ulam Spiral: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulam_spiral
War on poverty has been successful because of a massive wealth transfer from rich countries.

There is nothing wrong with this, except the global financiers kept around 50% cut for themselves once all intermediaries are added up.

Just like they did to rich countries, they will abandon these countries in due time, setting off social distress just like in the US. While the US has a resistant democracy, these counties will likely spin into dictatorships and totalitarianism states.

World is definitely going to get better, but we’re heading to the part where a bunch of institutions get destroyed in order for new ones to be built. Will be very chaotic.
What's the tech stack?
Why LKML? Despite Git's origins from and use by the Linux project, it isn't especially tied to it now.

LKML would presumably be the place for Linux to announce when they adopt this.

The Google open source blog is among the several credible options for this post, since Google employs much of the core Git team, and this post discusses their experience deploying Git protocol v2 at Google.

As noted in the blog text, it's not in a released version of Git yet, just Git master branch. So maybe it'll appear on a dedicated Git announcement list, if any, once that happens.
"Part of his method, at least with me, was to deride contemporary options and dare me to tell him differently."

This was Ibsen's method as well. Notoriously, if he needed a private tutorial, say on an aspect of physics for a play he was writing, Ibsen would make outrageously false statements about the relevant physics in front of a Nobel laureate in physics in order to provoke exactly the energetic private tutorial he needed, from an expert. Didn't give a shit about embarrassing himself.
What do you think is “grossly oversimplified”?

You're the one being intentionally vague with "what you think a policy 'is about' and its actual consequences are very different things." I'm trying to get you to be specific concerning the technical details of your argument, but you seem to be fighting that pretty hard.

Not yet, but presumably there will be a post like this: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/2/425 when it is released. It is strange that the Google Blog is the first place to announce it through.
My guess is that "smarter" people have trained their brain's neural network to identify patterns with less "watts". Likely, the total power consumption of a brain is more or less stable, due to heating/cooling considerations, so less connections (but more efficient ones) lets them have more compute power.
Thinking there's anything wrong with relativism is perverse, and a disgrace to philosophy as a whole. Trying to discredit relativism means you think there's one, and only one, standard of right and wrong, and that our ethics can never improve based on philosophical thinking. It's anti-progress and, therefore, utterly anti-philosophy.
Very interesting comments especially conclusion that voice for peace must be loudest. Generally, personally agree. However, what you think of current USA stance of beefing up defense and probably nuclear arsenal while others are not allowed such weapons? Won't it make them want these weapons even more?
Well, maybe I should have said it was an attempt at a proxy for general intelligence? For what it's worth, I agree with you. When people start studying for interview questions, then something is probably wrong..

I will remove this phrase. As a business, you always have to do your own promotion so this comes off as a bit patronizing or even arrogant.
