"The only reason attributable to this situation is lethargy and laziness – people just don’t want to step into the shoes of power-users or even try and learn a new tool."

I cannot reconcile that statement with the observation that people try out new tools like Snapchat and Telegram seemingly all the time.

I think "power-user" here is a way of saying "willing to use (needlessly) complicated software".

It's very hard to make software which is easy to use. People are more complicated than machines, and most engineers prefer solving machine problems, not people problems.

Plus, most projects fail. Only a handful become big.
That's definitely not a tail call, and even with a smart compiler it's pretty hard that it would get optimized into "return f(a)".

If "x" is declared there and never mutated in the subsequent code, and the code in the "..." doesn't perform any side effects, then such an optimization could occur... but then again, if the code in the "..." in your example didn't perform any side effects, it'd be dead code.

Said skills and tools are both less than common and scale worse. Scale also makes things cheaper counterintuitively to hand crafting. If you have say a drill press that can easily drill every hole at once it makes for better logistics to just drill every hole and stock them than keeping a ton of variants or worse drilling on demand.

I can certainly understand that mental blindspot however given I can't help but think of enterprise software as drastically overpriced for stuff I could slap together myself.
Figma 101: learn Figma in 7 days
Just like some people like answering StackOverflow questions (or posting comments on HN) there are probably already engineers in a staff of 200 who enjoy helping CS, but are primarily assigned other work (and if there aren't any then the hiring process is filtering against hiring engineers who like helping people and that's probably a broken aspect).

Imitation learning is both imitation and learning. The difference between it and reinforcement learning is that the latter learns a policy for decisions based on rewards and the former learns to approximate observations as ground truth.
And that is the reason why Elon reduced the speed for aggressive growth for the next few months and is pushing for actual profits in Q3 and Q4. With 5000 Model 3/Week (and 2+k S/S), Tesla has plenty of cash flow, they just need to stop spending money on future projects faster than they earn it.
Even amongst those who say they would pay $25/year for Twitter premium, we'd first have to account for stated vs. revealed preferences of how many would actually pay. I can't speak about you as an individual, but study after study has shown that this can be a huge effect. And keep in mind, this is only among privacy minded tech people. The vast majority of social media users do not give a shit about this (and will explicitly say so). Also, I imagine the people who are willing to pay for Twitter premium are highly correlated with the people who constantly rail about social media and threaten to quit/actually do quit. For those people, switching to a paid model is just going to provide the impetus to go ahead and quit anyway. All of which serve to bring the per user expenses up, but then increasing the cost of online services usually prompts a huge hue and cry (see: every time Netflix ups their prices), so you can't keep up with inflation even. And so people start quitting, and then due to network effects everyone else also starts quitting and the service dies. This is not in Twitter/Facebook's best interest and rest assured, they will not ever do it.

Well, not a great start - the console is throwing Java exceptions, and when I ask for a code completion, it just spins for a while and eventually fails.

I'll continue to poke at this, I think. For me, the competition is Sublime Text with a bunch of Rust plugins. It took a while to set up and it's not super snappy, but it works decently. I would like to replace this setup with something more "out of the box" and better integrated.

The fraction of retained materials is minuscule. The totals amount of stored and written records, also.

At the time of Gutenberg, there were about 30,000 books in all of Europe. (Inthink -- research suggests this may be higher, see mss. chart below.) Not titles, but books: individual, discreet, volumes. The University of Paris in 1200 had on the order of 2,000 volumes, amongst the largest collections of the time.

There were something shy of one billion volumes by 1800. Publishing in England during the 19th century was about 1,000 titles/yr. For much of the 2nd half of the 20th century, the US Library of Congress added about 300,000 titles/yr. That's remained fairlyconstant, though "nontraditional" publishing (self-published and on-demand titles) take this to over one million titles annually.

The Thesaurus Linguae Graecae is a comprehensive archive of all known surviving Ancient Greek literature:

Today the Online TLG contains more than 110 million words from over 10,000 works associated with 4,000 authors and is constantly updated and improved with new features and texts.

http://stephanus.tlg.uci.edu/tlg.php

(Many of the authors survive only in fragmentary quotation.)

Given that 100k words is a substantial book (about 400 pages), the entire surviving Greek bibliography -- every retained written word -- would be 1,000 such volumes.

A bit under 5 GB of uncompressed text.

The chemical stability of clay means that, yes, some records have survived. They are a minute fraction of all ever created, and those represent a minute fraction of all information that existed to be recorded, but never was.

The largest surviving cuneiform archive is at the British Museum, comprised of about 130,000 tablets, though the core collection is about 30,000. Each tablet is more analogous to a page than a book.

>Zerodium is known for buying zero-days and selling them to government agencies and law enforcement.

So how much is Zerodium getting for these Zero days? If all you care about is money then aside from the fear that you might end up getting investigated by one of these agencies, why wouldn't you sell directly to them for more money than Zerodium is giving you.

Otherwise if you actually care about the security of systems, then disclose it to the developers, give them reasonable time to fix/patch and submit it as a CVE.
Its pretty clear Chevy, Niassan, Hyundai/Kia, and Toyota are already competitive in many regards.

Jaguar, Audi, and BMW arent three years behind.

Right now its about perceived luxary and marketing, and a bit of a software / business model lead.

I dont think any of those companies would be three years behind if they actually tried to deliver a market leading luxury car, although some might need to acquihire some better software divisions.
I think there's also some anchoring bias that happens with easy mental math calculations like 20 on 80, or 40 on 360, since the financial fundamentals don't matter at the earliest stage companies.

It’s not all black and white, though. Limited supply pushes up the prices (and AirBnB’s earnings are a percentage of the total spend), licensing requirements remove a few unknowns, decrease the potential of the host running some kind of bait-and-switch scam and make a rental appear more legitimate from the guest’s point of view.

The i-Pace is great and the first real competitor to Tesla, but they are making about 20k/year, so it is a welcome addition to the electric car offerings, but won't cut into Tesla sales. Actually the electric car market is going to grow in the next years faster than the worldwide production capacity for electric cars, so there won't be huge problems selling all the made cars.
So, according to the abstract, this is looking at the absorbtion of a particular infrared band (3.4um). This band is presumably associated with the carbon-hydrogen bond, but I'm rusty on my IR spectroscopy so don't take my word on it. It's already known that there is attenuation of this band correlated with distance to a star, so they created molecules in the lab that mimic the absorbtion. This tells them how many molecules are needed to produce a particular amount of attenuation. From this, they can estimate the mass of a column between the Earth and a star, and extrapolate that to the Galaxy.
Probably, though it's still going to be very sparse and thinly spread.

When I was in grades ~4-8 I was placed in my school's special education stream, which really just amounted to a day a week of totally unstructured play in an incredibly well kitted out classroom (at the high school across the road, no less). There was a group of us that spent more or less every available second in that classroom playing this game on the Apple II, sharing secrets and strategies through the (surprisingly long) game. I credit a large part of who I am to today to it.

As a grown up I've watched video walkthroughs of it numerous times with my daughter, and have been meaning to figure out a way to actually play it with her. This.... is amazing.

Top 5 Essentials for Running a Successful Online Business
Our natural world is disappearing before our eyes
The concept of government contractors is quite common. If zerodium can guarantee auditing and safe zeroday acquisition then I don't see anything different in governments using a broker to attain their exploits.

The same attractions would apply as when they're dealing with other government contractors rather than individual actors.

The really sad thing here is that those exploits might be put to use against the people of the world.
This gets into the entire controversial business of selling exploits to "Security companies." Often these companies are just brokers, sometimes selling to states, but also to criminals.

Years ago at Ruxcon in Melbourne, this came up in a panel discussion. One of the members, Ranty Ben, talked about how exploit sales were part of his career/income.

The talk was originally here, but it seems to be gone now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlJ1DQdjVHM
Tail calls are semantic, not just an optimization, at least in languages like Scheme. Also, blowing the stack only applies to language implementations that have a fixed stack size, it's not a universal truth. In Scheme, a call stack is an implementation detail, and some implementations dynamically allocate stack space to accommodate recursive procedures. For example, here's a simple implementation of 'map':

(define (map proc lst)
(if (null? lst)
'()
(cons (proc (car lst)) (map proc (cdr lst)))))

You might look at this and go "that's bad! it will blow the stack when the list is too long!". Well, some Schemes will dynamically grow the stack so that this straightforward code translates to an efficient process that doesn't hit arbitrary stack limits. Otherwise the programmer would have to contort this into an iterative, tail-recursive process, which would involve building the list backwards and reversing it at the end.

I would suspect that accumulated space grease is an insignificant factor when compared to a ship's existing energy/mass ratio and the effects of relativity and time dilation, where energy requirements and an object's apparent mass tend towards infinity as it approaches lightspeed.

It's probably no more a factor than how thick the paint is on the hull.
I think you must live in a pretty opaque bubble. You might expect those things to happen, but they only do in your imagination. Most Christian colleges are actually pretty accepting of LGBT. You might be able to find a couple examples of some that haven’t been, but you barely have to open your eyes to see that conservative voices have pretty much been prohibited from all of the country’s other Colleges. Forget how intolerant the user base is, conservative voices are very heavily suppressed on most social media platforms. If your unfortunate enough to voice a conservative opinion in the wrong place at the wrong time, you’ll get a Twitter brigade harassing your employer until they fire you. Schedule a conservative speaker to talk at a College, at you won’t be at all surprised when a gang of violent, intolerant liberals start a riot.

Your comment is completely disconnected from reality. If you look hard enough, you’d probably be able to find a couple of minor examples to point at, but intolerance and suppression of speech has become mainstream liberal politics.

I’ve been a liberal for most of my life, I voted for Obama’s twice. But it was the grotesque intolerance for all non-confirming views that drove me away from the left. Any form of individual thought is liable to be labeled as hate speech, and possibly the worst element of it is the demand to have your cake and eat it too. To go around literally violently suppressing freedom of expression, and then attempt to claim some level of victimhood as if it was actually your voice that was being suppressed.

I work for a company that does work for a utility.

After starting I saw some huge inefficiencies, and decided to write a program proposal for an analytics and tracking program to increase efficiency and decrease turnover. (more efficient company = better for the utility = better for the customer, right?)

I ended up with a few meetings with company leadership, and things seemed to be progressing until they accused me of causing a data breach when I gathered my non-identifiable test dataset.

After threats from corporate counsel to sue/prosecute and a secure wipe of my hard drive, they backed off.

I'm still there, just trying not to notice the inefficiencies for us and the utility. Really kind of broke a part of me.

I don't know what their precise constraints are, but they are already building 2500 S/X per week there, add the 5000 Model 3 and you are already at 7500 cars per week. Tesla also produces more parts in house than other car manufacturers, that might contribute to the space constraints.

I think this is a critical point for engineers to see, and it sends a great message for engineers joining a company: "You don't have to go to the mgmt. track to have great career growth."

Rancher 1 is extremely easy to learn. Generally you do everything from the UI (I only use the CLI to view combined logs). High-availability is easy too; they provide a load-balancer (haproxy) with good UI integration.

Rancher 2 has a nicer UI and is more tightly related to Kubernetes. But there are moreorless zero docs, so be careful.

With either version: it's trivial to grab the master and node Docker images, and deploy them to your local machine to have a play.

I made brief comment on what I believe the other side of the story would be; he was sick (suspected flue) and modern medicine could heal him. In most cases I would consider that a moral imperative, as in "it is wrong if you don't do it." But according to the information presented in this article, healing an 82 year old man of the flu is not assuring him any quality of life. Consider it a "Do Not Resuscitate" order.

It's never been portrayed as "anti-US", and it isn't. It's pro-privacy, and that's an entirely different thing. While I think certain US companies have aggressively persued certain business strategies which are very much anti-privacy, so have many companies around the world, and this legislation is long overdue pushback against some very dubious business practices many people are very, very uncomfortable with.
