I just checked MDN, since I've had problems with html5rocks tutorials being outdated due to specs changing in the past (not related to localStorage though), but all pages I can find on it seem to overlook the whole quota aspect[0]. However, the Chrome dev page on the topic[1] mentions this:

> Unlimited storage is similar to persistent storage, but it is available only to Chrome apps and extensions (.crx files). The size of unlimited storage is limited only by the availability of space in the user's hard drive. You can ask for the unlimitedStorage permission in the manifest file for an app or extension. At installation, the user is informed of permissions required by the app or extension. By proceeding with the installation, the user implicitly grants permission for all pages whose URLs are listed in the manifest.json file.

As you see in the code this is linux only:
CLOCK_MONOTONIC, HW_CPUSPEED, -soname, -rpath, linux/perf_events.h,

Even on linux it would fail:
sort.c:386:21: error: always_inline function '_mm256_loadu_si256' requires target feature 'sse4.2', but would be inlined into function 'djbsort_int32' that is compiled without support for 'sse4.2'

-march=native or -msse4.2 would be needed.

> They could buy wooden ladders

Can you point me to someplace selling 50' wooden ladders appropriate for firefighting?
Dunno, as a mac user I only buy cross platform games lately. I.e. those that have at least win/mac (preferably linux too) available in GoG or Steam. I would never consider buying just a Mac or just a Linux version.

However, most AAA games are made with consoles in mind, so if i do want to play one, i'll get it for my PS4. It happens pretty rarely lately, though. Huge backlog of Mac indies to play, sorry AAA companies.

About the Witcher 2, the performance on Mac (and I guess on Linux too) was crap on launch. And that's what most people who bought the game saw, because they didn't expect the ports and bought when the Windows version launched and dual booted. Whatever they improved, it was too late, everyone had finished the game by now.

As for Witcher 3, I bought it but I only got like 1/3 of the way through it. Why? Because it only runs on Windows (I haven't tried Wine lately, so this may have changed) and rebooting to play a game is disruptive to all the stuff I run on the Mac OS side of things.

That doesn't bode well for my chances of rushing in and preordering Cyberpunk, sorry CD PROJEKT.

Edit: please no one explain to me how Macs don't have the hardware to run games, I hackintosh, have a proper video card and stuff like the ports of the Metro games work just fine(tm).
It doesn't explain why they couldn't just buy wooden or fiberglass ladders though. I'm sure there are many vendors who would be happy to fill such a contract.
>haven't shipped a game in years

The Lab was released in 2016, Artifact recently went to beta.
There are plenty of ladders on the market that are non-conductive. None of them are wood because wood is conductive. (though wood does have some interesting fire properties that probably make them better anyway)

Oh, absolutely. If someone doesn’t like the surveillance state, this is just another datapoint on an ever-increasing list. Still disappointing, but not uniquely so.

The people so civically unengaged that they actively champion the increased surveillance of modern life right up to the point it’s used against their pet causes disgust me.
So I wonder why fiberglass ladders are not used?
This is why a test suite is so important. There's no better source of why that a developer who is new to the codebase can turn to. Documentation is likely out of date and pestering the original developer with questions takes both developers' time and is often not possible in cases where the original developer has moved on or forgotten the why. But tests show all the use cases that the original developer thought were important.
Not open source though, as far as I can tell. Also, and I know this is stupid, but any website this fancy for a simple extension makes me a bit suspicious.
How does fiberglass stand to high heat?
This is very accurate. I was thinking I had value as a starter but you have put me in my place!
Appreciate the response! Interesting to read.

The Libsodium guys wound up doing exactly what you're suggesting, because of the impossibility of trying to package NaCl as-is.

So they essentially had to re-do/duplicate all of his build work just to make it packageable. And now there are two competing implementations (three if you count tweetnacl). And a bit of a confusing mess in the documentation department.

It seems a little selfish for djb to take the "works on my machine" attitude, because it means that a bunch of other people have to reverse-engineer all that stuff just to make it portable.

But I guess OTOH it's his software, so it's his choice. And maybe he doesn't care whether people choose to use his stuff or not, as long as he's publishing.
FWIW, I knew it was a clever reference to the GOT sword after reading the title. It's obvious the project isn't based on or associated with a group using the same common words. Whether they are actually "extremist" is a different matter.

> I guess the flat management structure isn't all that its cracked up to be.

I guess it's also because they feel absolutely no pressure to do anything. As things are right now, Steam generates massive revenues for them (and profits since they remain a fairly small organization) so everything else looks like pocket money in comparison, especially anything hardware related.

And only if you're also about 40 years behind ladder tech - notice the stepladders in the "A view of the main repair facility" photo?

They're nonconductive fiberglass.

They're stronger than wood, lighter than wood, don't need to be oiled/varnished, don't require cutting down old-growth trees, and aren't susceptible to moisture damage.

You can buy them exhaustively tested, mass produced, in whatever quantities you require for a couple hundred dollars - probably an order of magnitude less than these artisanal wooden ladders.

> What is especially ridiculous is that we keep seeing folks, in 2017 and 2018, repeating the same nonsense “Witcher 2 runs like crap”, which is completely false and a blatant lie at this point in time. The long tail of stupidity.

Witcher 2 did indeed run bad on Linux the last time I looked at it, and that was many months after its release. It wasn't at 2 FPS anymore, but still only barely playable. I bet it still runs badly, I think my last test wasn't that long ago, but given the driver improvements since then I might be wrong. All that on a system where the game ran fine on Windows.

I know nothing about whether the criticism was too heated, but if a linux port is released and does not run properly on user's systems, then complaints are to be expected.
I do not know the answer of this question.
I like that Texas article particularly. The DMV has a db of 22 million car registrations, and they sold the trust of their citizenry for a couple million dollars.
>One thing I’ll add to that is that I meet a lot of founders all over the world, and at this point in time, I still think it’s helpful for any founder form anywhere to spend, you know, three months in the Bay Area, and get to build that network. There’s such, so many investors there, so many other founders, and you can stay there for that amount of time, and then theoretically if this is where, if New York is where your customers are, you move that to New York. But um, at this point, it is still so much easier to raise up and build that network there, so even spending a short amount of time, I think still helps.

I hate this. Not the comment but the fact it is a reality. It reminds me of what old-school FedEx employees will say "Wanna move up ya gotta move to Mecca (Memphis)".

I get that the investors live there but argh! You have all of these companies, all of this talent, all of this money in a cramped city on the coast.

Then of course you have the conditions. I visited San Francisco a few weeks ago for the first time in my life. Within the first hour of leaving SFO and heading to downtown I saw a completely naked man in what I judge to be his 60's just walking down the street with a bag and his sandals going about his day without a care in the world. I've never seen someone layhing on a sidewalk before, in the uber from SFO until the time I walked into The Proper I saw now less than 20 (I stopped counting) people in various states of alertness laying on sidewalks. Around hour 20 I witnessed a woman walk exactly one step out of her tent and within 10 seconds as I was walking down the sidewalk up to a building defecate immediately in front of her tent and pop right back inside.

I hate that the general attitude, and reality, is that if you want to work in tech or get traction and funding for your startup, you essentially have to relocate to the Bay Area.

We need this to change. Even if it's just having a coalition of VC types get together and say "look, let's pick 5 cities spread across the country. We'll agree that we will send representatives from our firms to these cities for invite-only conferences where we meet with startups/companies that satisfy some application requirements with the stipulation the city we meet them to must be the closest to their company" and then inconvenience themselves for 3 days a quarter to go out and meet people.

I find it idiotic that we want to concentrate everything in a geographically small city, with rampant homelessness, in earthquake country, that frequently has airport delays, where it takes 15 minutes to drive 2-3 miles, that literally smells like a portapotty because of all the public urination and defecation.

Boggles my mind. Being there for 2 days and change was the most surreal experience I've ever had in my life.

You can seek out your best interests without powerful emotions that cripple your sense of well being.

For instance, rather than worry constantly about impending doom you can just calmly go about preparing for worst case circumstances. Same result -- perhaps a better result -- and far less suffering.

We should all seek to calmly and rationally seek the best interests of ourselves and people around us, without having to be paralyzed by fear, anxiety and other negative emotions.
That's technically "years".
I can't think of any reason to acclimatize them this way instead of kiln drying/vaporizing them (depending) to roughly the right moisture content and waiting for 1% change (instead of kiln drying them to 0, or waiting forever for completely green wood)

There are studies going back to the 70's by the forestry service (and others) showing there is no change in mechanical properties of pine/fir from these drying schedules.

(This is not true of a lot of hardwoods, but is true of these softwoods)

Waiting years seems like a pointless waste of time.
What do you mean? The OP question is straightforward. How can you twist the meaning that much is beyond me
"The page teaches users to use su to lower privileges ..."

In the example, he could have used his own utilities for dropping privileges (setuidgid, envuidgid from daemontools).

If I am not mistaken, busybox includes their own copies of setuidgid and envuidgid, meaning it is found in myriad Linux distributions. I believe OpenBSD has their own program for dropping privileges. Maybe there are others on other OS.

Instead he picked a ubiquitous choice for the example, su.

It is interesting to see someone express disdain for the version.txt idea. I had the opposite reaction. To me, it is beautiful in its simplicity.

As a user I like the idea of accessing a tiny text file, version.txt, similar to robots.txt, etc., that contains only a version number and letting the user insert the number into an otherwise stable URL.

This is currently how it works for libpqcrypto.

https://libpqcrypto.org/install.html

I would actually be pleased to see this become a "standard" way of keeping audiences up to date on what software versions exist.

By simplifying "updates" in this way, any user can visit the version.txt page or write scripts that retrieve version.txt to check for updates, in the same way any user can visit/retrieve robots.txt to check for crawl delay times, etc.

It is not necessary to "copy and paste" from web pages. Save the "installation" page containing the stable URL as text, open it in an editor, insert the desired version number into the stable URL.

Save the file. Repeat when version number changes, appending to the file.

I like to keep a small text file containing URLs to all versions so I can easily retrieve them again at any time.
That does explain some of the servicing offers we get from local car dealers.
The version of that currently operating in Hungary is that even though living on benefits is impossible, you can just go to Austria/Germany/UK and make way more money. Interestingly this is less true of programmers than it is of waiters and cooks, but then it's extremely true of doctors and plumbers.

Nobody in Budapest expects to make even a Berlin salary, but the difference is big enough now that lots of people say screw it, better to live abroad at least long enough to buy an apartment and so on at home. But I doubt many of those people will be coming back.

Ironically enough you could make a killing as a plumber anywhere in Germany right now, or in Vienna, or in Budapest, as per your choice. But a ton of Hungarian plumbers left when it wasn't like that, and now they have lives in Dinkelacker or wherever.
Debugging is an extraordinarily first-class, up-front, frequent activity in Common Lisp, as the facilities are built into the language itself.

Smalltalk is something like the ultimate debugger. The advanced Smalltalk coders would often do most of their coding in the debugger. (It's very easy to unwind the stack a few places, then resume execution.) The VisualWorks debugger was so nimble, people would put expressions to be executed and debugged into code comments! (The debugger would execute the code in the context in which it was evaluated, so this could be absolutely awesome.)

Given that the normal way to develop a Lisp program is to do it incrementally, your program (or someone else’s!) will break, and it will break often, and you’ll get launched into an interactive debugger.

One of the most frequent demos we did in Smalltalk, was to write some empty scaffold methods, launch into an exception, then fill in everything in the debugger until the system was complete.
Nope. Just a bunch of people circle jerking over accosting officials in public and recording it.
Agreed that this is an annoyance. Autoconf-generated configure scripts are definitely slow, mostly because they test a ton of things that probably don't still need to be tested.

The overall system still provides a ton of value and a lot of relevant tests in addition to the not-so-relevant ones. After years of writing increasingly complex Makefiles to test for this-and-that, Autoconf was a breath of fresh air for me when I made the switch a couple of years ago (even with all of its crustiness).
The worst why that I regularly hear is, "the client changed their mind and it's the best we could do."

The thing with practical experience is you can put two engineers with practical experience in a room and they can argue for days about a architecture or design pattern.

Nobody argues about which algorithm is better for sorted data sets: linear search or binary search. Theory already establishes one is faster than the other, but no theory establishes which architecture is better than the other.

> Repeat steps 1 through 6 until the average programmer salary hits minimum wage

Did it ever happen? I mean, some active high-tech markets that have a lot of hiring going on and have been around enough to run these cycles if it's indeed what is happening. I don't know about other first world countries, but I am seeing in the US software developer's salary is nowhere even near the minimum wage. In fact, they are substantially higher than average wage for all the other comparable occupations (i.e. not bank CEOs and board members for Fortune-500 companies). I also am not seeing them precipitously dropping. So I am not seeing it happening as your model describes. Why do you think it is so?
There's various kinds of documentation of differing granularity. Typically the high level documentation (coarse grained if you will) about architecture, requirements, etc. stays good over time but finer grain documentation (the kind I mentioned in my earlier comment -- data structures, order of function invocation, etc.) gets stale quickly because source code is constantly changing -- it gets refactored, plenty of bug fixes are put in, etc.

Reverse engineering is probably a loaded word, but in general digging in to understand the codebase helps you work more efficiently and avoid introducing bugs to the extent possible.
I would encourage that you not bend to the will of those who would impose upon you what your brand might be or might be associated with. If you make a meaningful product in your space and the origins of the name are easily explained through 1: your aforementioned wordplay and 2: the GoT reference (likely more common), then I think you should fight to keep a name you love and find meaning in.

As one of your potential customers / users, I would not base any judgement of your company or product based on some a shared name with a small fringe organization that some people find unsavory which uses a pretty common term or combination of terms.

To piggy back with you on to this point --

I see your grandparent may have something I've noticed is a common misconception, not just in the analysis of the value of human traits, but also in the analysis of modules in software, and other engineering projects.

This misconception boils down to believing that just because a trait/emotion/module is not being used for the "reason" it was originally intended (scare quotes to prevent implied creator relationship to evolution) that the trait/emotion/module is unusable, or bad.
No way. It makes sense way more times than that.
Probably not. I've been doing it since I was a kid, but never meant for it to be my career. That happened out of necessity. There are definitely aspects of it that I enjoy, but my days are way too sedentary and I'm basically just expected to be a coding machine. Project requirements go in, finished product comes out, and apart from that managers and other departments don't want to hear anything from you. At least, that's been my experience.
Several manufacturers offer NFPA 1931 compliant fiberglass fire ladders. When used with a suitable resin, fiberglass has significantly better resistance to heat and flame. Fiberglass and wood are both prone to sudden failure due to crack propagation, but in both cases that risk is mitigated by regular inspection.
