Agreed, my impression is that the main benefit of bitcode is that it allows Apple to rebuild apps for the purposes of fixing compiler backend bugs and perhaps introducing improved micro-optimizations for newer CPUs generations within the same architecture, but it certainly does not work as a "java bytecode" layer - it definitively wouldn't enable Apple to change to a completely different CPU architecture in newer iPhones or Macs. The LLVM IR and the ObjectiveC/Swift/libc ABI is too architecture-specific to work as a portability layer.
Building a Founding Team | San Francisco Bay Area

SEEKING...

Exceptional engineers/developers/coders who want to join the founding team of a disruptive company with a long-term vision.

Those who are incredibly passionate about the web and the future of application and platform development. React native and serverless cloud enthusiasts would be ideal.

Those who loves games and the multiplayer communities that surround them.

Those with passion and taste who care more about quality of product and craft than accolades or ego.

Those who want and are able to initially take a majority of their compensation in equity.

... Is this you?

Be ready to wear many hats and share your knowledge with an ever-growing team.

What you've done matters far less than what you can and will do.

SF Bay Area is ideal. Remote work could be considered for the right person, but you'll need to be ready to move here eventually.

Let us know why you'd be a great fit – ourfoundingteam@gmail.com
It would be useful to know what percent of the population is affected by this. I look at my computer/phone up until I go to bed, and I’ve not seen any adverse effects. It’s an N or 1, but surely I’m not the only person who doesn’t experience the negative effects this article warns about.
Thank you for your thoughtful breakdown and useful links!

> Grades aren't meant to be predictors of career success, they're meant to be indicators of past academic performance.

Isn't it both? If we had figured out the perfect academic program for all time, then it could be just a reflection of performance compared to all prior students in the program. Since we haven't, we update the programs and that might mean some aspects become easier and some harder. Or maybe overall easier, if career demands have generally gone down (which, imo, is a much more interesting discussion than whether an 'A' is really an 'A').

"I spent my check on groceries when I got it, and put the rest into savings."

That is entirely appropriate. When the economy is depressed, we want people to both spend more and pay off any debts they might have, so your mix of spending and savings is just what the economy needed. The boost to consumption helps the economy get going again. And to the extent that people are paying off debts, their debts are moved on to the ledger of the government. Since the government pays a lower interest rate than private citizens, this reduces the overall burdens on the economy, and, again, helps the economy get going again. Both aspects of this help.

Divide the cost of development by the number of devices expected to be sold within a reasonable payback period and add a percentage of profit required to make it worthwhile developing the thing in the first place and you'd probably come up with a pretty close approximation to the same price.
A big problem though is that a college is such a big institution with an array of faculties in it and every single course credit can piggy back that reputation.

The government of Sweden does routine quality checks on the university program (we don’t do the whole major/minor thing, we have focused programs) and my computer engineering program in a small university was ranked second while KTH and Chalmers were tied for last and were ordered to change their programs to keep giving out engineering degrees in that field. In case you’re not Swedish, those two are the most renowned schools.

By any other name would smell as sweet.

As it continues to? Please look at oil prices over the last 20 years. You will see a lot of fluctuation.

> Seems like a poor time to drop your sedan production in favor of SUVs with oil prices climbing,

GM can do this. They can change production so quickly that when oil is cheap and people want SUVs (aka now) they can do that. And when it is not, they can change production back to sedans and EV. Much more flexibility.

Are you filling this role for the SEC, or are you contracting for them? If the latter, can you please edit "SEC" out from the banner and use your company name, indicating that it's an SEC contract that you're filling? (or a subcontract, either way)

Not looking, just asking for clarity. Seeing a non-SEC.gov address at the end irked me a bit.
Agree. Libre is a french word.
That is not my experience with self-checkout. I guess I'm lucky. I love self-checkout because I can get through so fast. Yes, I run into problems sometimes, but the attendant is usually right on top of it.

Bitrise | Budapest, Hungary | Full-Time | ONSITE | https://bitrise.io

Bitrise (YC W17) is a Continuous Integration and Delivery platform focusing on mobile development. We help developers to automate their every-day tasks so they can go back to building great apps and have more time for their ideas. We'd like to create an ecosystem for software developers which they can use to build, test and distribute their apps in a way that it feels natural and fun. We take being open very seriously and we love to automate everything!

We're funded and profitable and currently scaling out our team in beautiful Budapest, Hungary. We are currently recruiting for the following roles:

Engineering

- Senior Backend Engineer

- Senior Frontend Engineer

- Senior Tooling Engineer

We would be particularly interested in hearing from you if you're currently a mobile developer but would like to branch out and be involved in building tools that help make mobile developers happier and more productive.

If you think you'd be a good fit send an email telling us a little about yourself and why you'd like to join Bitrise to jobs@bitrise.io

All roles are onsite only and you must be eligible to work in the EU, unfortunately we are not able to sponsor work visas.
Something that stands out to me is the extent to which PE is in all kinds of different agencies through various sector-specific funds. I recognized several of the firms mentioned from the power sector, where they have a habit of acquiring somewhat distressed assets that still have some value in one of the market structures (e.g., selling capacity) even if they don't really expect the plant to run very much at all.

In one sense it's good that someone has the flexibility to maintain an asset that still has real value but a different use case than its original intention, but on the other side that money could be propping up something that doesn't really have long-term value; distorting the market by delaying entries by newer or more efficient technologies.

I remember seeing a comment the other day about how the next recession could probably/easily not be housing (the last one) or tech (the one before that), but the next big chunk of the economy that's under-studied and not well known. Maybe it's these pools of cash at the top extracting more $ from everyone below them on the global financial stage. Not sure what the failure point or mechanism would be though.
Except that Syndrome's plan was to use technology to actually make everyone better, which in a way is admirable.

What we have here is that we leave everyone mediocre but tell them all that they are super. Now we are left with no way to measure the people who really have put in the work to become better.
The good thing about no-runtime languages is that you can mix modules written in them, within reason.

So Rust can make inroads into existing C++ code bases where it makes sense faster than we think, without replacing C++ wholesale for a long time. Firefox itsef is likely such a codebase.
> Having to sort through messages individually

Your email reader is supposed to help you read and reply to message threads.

> not being able to browse code

You browse code by doing a git clone/checkout, and then using your regular programming tools.

> no convenient links

Your email client should help you navigate and search message threads. Here is one of many that helps you do this: http://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/mu/mu4e.html

> no formatting

This is what you editor is supposed to do.

> no branch visualizations

This is what tools like magit are supposed to do: https://magit.vc/

> release notes being easily accessible

They go in a text file in the repository. You open the text file with your editor. Your editor should also help you write release notes: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Ch...

> having to set up a bunch of fragile text based filters.

Why?

I see arguments like yours about email and git a lot. Why do you think people disagree with you? You have to pay attention to what you are really saying. You are not listing advantages of web-based git interfaces. You are listing "disadvantages" of existing tools. And all of the "disadvantages" you list are really areas where you do not understand how to use Unix programming tools effectively. Getting off of webmail and onto a good text-based email client is one of the best things you can do as a computer user.
The parent seems to agree with you, that Haskell is maybe too eager to keep to 'mathematical' names, but it almost sounds like you interpreted the parent the other way around?

Your comment reads almost equally well with two different interpretations. One a restatement of fact, and the other a rather rude response to a misunderstood message.

Full disclosure: I work on a language that is almost by definition niche, and benefit from its adoption.

I think workplaces really, really should be using newer/"sexier" programming languages and libraries, but not as a blanket approach. People should be allowed to experiment and try new things, especially for projects or parts of projects that are new and exciting. This shouldn't be in lieu of existing and well-known technology.
The sentence I responded to said "Nobody knows how to do any industrial process in space" not "exciting industry." Electrolysis is an industrial process, and not only do we know how to do it (as you showed in second grade), but it is done operationally.

You set the bar pretty low, easy to prove you wrong.

I think the passage is entirely accurate in regards to what they like to THINK of themselves as doing. I'm willing to believe that most journalists are failing to live up to their own self-image rather than being actively cynical (though, mind you, the actively cynical ones are incredibly damaging).

Those are just European figures, just 3 brands, and just the existing numbers.

In 2006, the market for smart phones was tiny. A couple of years later, people paid 3 times more for a phone than they ever thought they would.

Yes, $500 for a phone is not the same as $50,000 for a car. But who would have thought that people would readily shed out $599 for a cell phone before Apple made that market? The amount of people able to pay $50,000 for a car is increasing every year due to the economic growth in Asia and elsewhere and Tesla expands the market of people interested in expensive cars in Europe and America beyond the usual motor enthusiasts to people like me.
Well that's sort of what I'm thinking of too. I'm talking about the idea that this might be doable by limiting topical scope. So for example you'd only index some portion of tech related sites.
X86 does have array bounds checking now with MPX. Further everything you've mentioned is useful to all languages including the stack. Can you give an example of a negative trade off made for C?
Reading this makes it very clear why Apple would be moving towards using its own chips in laptops.

Blackbird Studios | Lead Fullstack Developer | San Francisco | Onsite or Remote* | Contract to hire

Blackbird Studios is a full service digital product studio. We specialize in a holistic approach inspired by HCD and Lean. Services include CTO consulting, product strategy, engagement strategy, UX/UI, and development plus long term BML iterations and maintenance. We work with large and small companies/startups on projects ranging from 1-6 months with 2-6 people on each project.

We build full stack web, mobile, physical installations, etc. Our favorite stack is React/Redux, GraphQL, Rails, and React Native. We also use a wide range of other tech as needed since we face a pretty diverse set of challenges. Recent and upcoming examples: Elixir/Phoenix, .Net, C++/Qt, embedded Linux, Native iOS/Swift, Native Android/Kotlin.

Working at Blackbird is very different from larger product companies. We operate in very strategic relationships with our clients which gives us a unique opportunity every few months to deep dive into a new interesting understanding of our client's business and build ground up new apps where everyone is making major and early contributions.

We are looking for a Lead Developer with extensive experience in dev team leadership, new product development, and collaboration with business and design stakeholders. Serious consulting experience is also a huge plus. Specific skills ideally include our favorite stack (see above) plus deep knowledge of either native iOS or Android. As a senior Blackbird team member, occasional travel to San Francisco and other locations is part of the job for project kickoffs and other critical collaboration phases or meetings. In a given month this can be anywhere from no travel up to a couple days every week or occasionally an entire week on site with a client.

I am a founder so ask me anything! If there are other aspects of what we do that interest you definitely still hit me up!

Email me at jobs@blackbird.us
