If you have 512MB RAM you can run the atom editor on your IoT device. At that point why would anyone even care about whether the software is designed for constrained systems?
Definitely true. I don't have one, because I'm not an idiot, but I know someone who does -- the dongle outright stops working when it gets too hot.

Leaking data is only one consequence of getting hacked. Another consequence is corrupting data. Even if you can't prevent the former, there are still times when you want to recover from the latter. If the attacker can overwrite old backups then you are toast.

> I rarely if ever see cars parked on the sidewalk.

Here in New York the police often park on the sidewalk--fully or partially--to the point the police have painted ranks on them in some precincts.

Here are a few Google Maps examples of our police parking on the sidewalk:

https://goo.gl/maps/4CkLXhajuiG2
https://goo.gl/maps/1i5NMhjJS1v
https://goo.gl/maps/2zT2vHyMkk22
https://goo.gl/maps/nikFJgyb9tj
https://goo.gl/maps/7ciEWeJd1Wq
https://goo.gl/maps/CFtp7oVvomB2
https://goo.gl/maps/Tc3vfhMp5mN2

Look up most police precincts and you'll see this sort of behavior. It's not limited to police, of course; the city government engages in widespread abuse of sidewalks as storage space for vehicles.

And it's not limited to the government, either; I know a number of restaurants that have valet parking where the valets will at best double or triple park cars--including in the bike lane--and at worst park on the sidewalk. All this a few blocks from the police precinct. Sadly, Google's street view cameras came by at the wrong time of day.

This understates the impact of cars on sidewalks, however, as historically many New York streets and avenues had wider sidewalks before we introduced street parking.
I'm gonna say overly high expectations probably have an effect here. As you said, these things aren't necessary for a startup with a small amount of users, but... very few startups seem to realise that, or consider that they won't become the next Google or Facebook overnight.

So services like OVH aren't as popular as AWS because startups always buy on the assumption they'll suddenly hit it big, even if their needs are more modest.

It could also come down to branding too; AWS and Google Cloud and Azure have done a lot of marketing in order to get themselves out there in front of the startup crowd, with whole conferences and events on how to use them. Hence some people are likely using them because it's 'the thing startups do'.
Here's my entire .screenrc:

The first line sets the prefix key to C-M-6 which is not used by emacs. The second turns off the "ctl-f" flow control stuff so emacs gets that chord. I then use emacs itself for all "window" management and terminal multiplexing.
> Calling a pterosaur a dinosaur is an error of the same order of magnitude as saying that our species is a marsupial

I'd say it's more like the error of calling a tomato a vegetable. While it's true that from a phylogenetic perspective that pterosauria aren't dinosaurs, they still have many basal characteristics (relative to today's flying dinosaurs, the aves) that give them a certain dinosaur-like quality in the imagination. Besides, they're contemporaneous with the true dinosaurs. Grouping them with the dinosaurs is understandable. The grouping is incorrect under one classification scheme, but correct under another.

Curious. What do you do with tmux on phone?
I don't think this is actually true. In many cases on packaging for items I've purchased they explicitly state "Do not return this to the store, return to the manufacturer."

It's also not true for Car Dealerships (recalls) and Large Appliances that aren't from major Box Stores.

So yes take it up with suppliers, but your claim that the middleman (Apple in this case) is de-facto responsible, isn't nearly universal.
Sure, but BASIC doesn't need to be the 8 bit versions or GW.

Something like Turbo Basic or QBasic, with a REPL as well would do quite nicely.

On the other hand maybe what is missing is making those little boards with JavaScript or Python more widespread.
Ask HN: What are some quantitative finance startups?
Just wondering, what are some quant hedge funds and prop shops founded in the last 3-5 years? I'm having trouble finding much info about this online.
It really depends on kind of person OP is, Personally I never want to work at any large corporation especially Google, the benefits do not outweigh the drawbacks for me.

Apart from what others mentioned in the thread In the startup choice the biggest benefit not going the Google for me is that I choose to work in a domain(by choosing the startup) where I am passionate about, slim chance of it happening in a large organization.

OP has to understand what he gets and does not get at both outside of pure comp and then figure out how much of value they are to him

I think it'd be a mistake to ignore them. Content creators are cool and they set trends and fashion. The first iterations of the iMac, the iPod and the iPhone were nothing special, yet they were successful because they were used by cool people. i.e. Apple products became status symbols.
a) Noise reduction usually requires a powered component, or some kind of neck brace to contain the battery required for active noise cancelling. This adds expense and weight.

b) Sometimes it's good to be aware of your surroundings! When I'm listening to music, noise is usually sufficiently blocked by the sheer volume of the track, and during podcasts and audiobooks I'm also not bothered by the sounds of the streets.

If anything, it's good to hear a siren, or the ramblings of a nearby crazy person in order to avoid them.

The only time I find noise cancellation useful is on airplanes.

> Apple decided rightly or not that they don't care about me.

If you’re view is that every product should cater to the needs of everyone, then yep, Apple shouldn’t care about you as you are being unrealistic.

You get wired headphones and a dongle in the box, you can buy Beats headphones with the same chip as the Airpods with longer battery life for about the same price, or you can use a vast ocean of other wired or Bluetooth headphones. It’s not like you are forced to use something that doesn’t work for your needs.
Preferences are the starting point of economic analyses, under the assumption that people pick what they want after who-knows-what a priori decision process.

Money (or, more commonly, assets) is sometimes included in models, but is not a starting point. If you're looking for models where solely wealth=power as an entry point into the field, I suggest political science (mentioned above) or finance. Overlap with economics in toolkit and occasionally questions, yes, but not composing the entirety of economics.

Project Treble makes updates easier for OEMs but in no way guarantees that they will actually happen.

The Moto G6 for example has Treble but Motorola has said it will only get one major update, to Pie. It came out in May with March security patches, they released the May security patch in July, and then released the July security patch in September.

Android One devices will (supposedly) all receive 2 major version updates and 3 years of monthly security patches.

Ask HN: Lisp – Best TDD/Testing Framework?
So many frameworks, so little time. What do you think is the best Lisp test driven development framework today?

Given Eitaro Fukamachi's incredible track record of great lisp libraries, his new "Rove" (successor to "Prove") looks like the best direction, even though it's in beta. https://www.slideshare.net/fukamachi/rove-testing-is-a-pity-in-common-lisp

Is anyone using it or using something else that you think is the best option?
I wouldn't advise unstructured BASIC, there are plenty of structured improvements to choose from.

It is easy to learn because it was the first language to come with batteries.

In some 8 bit micros it was as powerful as the underlying Assembly, only slower. So it was relatively easy to prototype.

Also the the runtime was the OS.

Nowadays a kid needs to learn how to access the development environment, probably configured by an adult and to do more complicated tasks might need some help getting libraries.

Maybe stuff like boards with MicroPython will help here.
It's not privileged in that it can sandbox unprivileged code, it's privileged in that it can run that code at all. Other processes are not allowed to execute writeable memory.

> with a recursive relationship between the size and coherence time of a topological qubit

"recursive relationship"?

What specifically about topological codes makes you think they'll scale so poorly?
It's not obsolete, they're trying to force it to be. There's lots of high quality analog stuff especially for pros out there with 10+ years of life still in it and Bluetooth is a relatively complicated, expensive, underperforming (latency/fidelity/reliability) alternative. It also raises the barrier to entry to headphone manufacturing meaning we'll have less choice, less competition, and as I hope we all know, that leads to less value for consumers.
Mediocre startup compensation combined with the bay area cost of living and the added work/life imbalance can arguably do the same thing.
Interesting, it's simply a few thousand nested divs with a huge blur on them. Is it something specific about blur? Or could you do the same thing with box-shadows, etc, if there are enough of them?
This will be useful to consumers too since they can filter out angry posts from users they don't follow. I agree that, in practice, this might be more useful to moderators. Another use case is to automatically move posts to folders based on text/URLs in them.

It's completely nostalgia. BASIC doesn't have any redeeming features except being in the right place at the right time.
The median is certainly 0.
I think you're overestimating the homogeneity of the field and underestimating the degree to which most economists understand (and in many cases agree with) the issues you're raising. Plus, finance is not the same is economics and you seem to be conflating the two.

It's flat untrue, too. You can hear audio latency nearly down to single-digit milliseconds. In fact, there's a fun recording trick where you duplicate a track, pan it hard left and the original hard right, and then delay one by 10ms. (They get heard as two separate parts even though they're completely identical.)
> Can you cite sources for your numbers?

It was a general ballpark number.

Population of british commonwealth, population of western europe + turkey, US, SK, Japan, etc would come out to be near 10X the population of the soviet union. And that's not including china, who switched sides in 60s.

If you want to see the GDP figures, you could also do it for these countries/regions.

> It was a fairly common view that the Russians + Warsaw Pact allies

I specifically said the soviet union. Not Russia ( which was the largest part of the soviet union ) and certainly not warsaw pact "allies". Would you really call warsaw pact nations "allies" considering that the soviet union had to invade and crush the czechs, hungarians, poles, etc? In any conflict with NATO, I have a sneaking suspicion that the warsaw pact nations would join NATO's side. But even if you include warsaw pact, it would still be close to 10X.

It was a common view that the soviet union wouldn't collapse also. And it was in our interest to build up the enemy as stronger than they were. It's called propaganda. The "stronger" the enemy, the bigger the military budgets.

If the soviets launched a sneak attack, they would gain an initial advantage, but they were never going to hold onto west germany. In any conventional war, the soviets would have lost. The soviets knew this and that's why they switch from a massive conventional military to a massive nuclear military ( which bankrupted them and had a hand in their collapse ).

If you were a grunt in the military, I'm sure you just simply brainwashed with whatever nonsense you were told. But if you look at the objective data ( demographics, GDP, etc ), the soviets had no chance against the US, let alone US and vast array of our allies.
Hear here.

To add to this, econometricians and statisticians are leading the calls for causal inference. Economists embedded in Google, Netflix, Yahoo, Microsoft, etc. are at the forefront of the fields, speaking to how theory and practice play out (sometimes called techonomists).

While economics doesn't lend itself a physics or psychology laboratory to teach its basic principles, that doesn't mean the field isn't concerned with causal impact of policies suggested by theory. Personally, my observation is that making sure falsifiability and generalizability of theory is at the heart of modern economic discussion.
Fair question. My environments are different now, so I have no need to have a session last that long. My longest screen session, like yours was years. My current longest tmux session goes back to April 23 2018.

Generally it's a pretty basic concept in analyzing any system, 1st step is to use a constant, if it doesn't fit then a linear model, etc. Can use different approximations depending on the circumstance, e.g. you can approximate sin(x) with x around 0...

Is there something special to it in this particular case?

Well, some of the stuff I linked to works with KB, including Cortex-Mx class devices.

Genereally speaking embedded devices is a very broad area, from a tiny PIC up to a couple of MBs.

There are many factors at play and in many cases it is actually worthwhile to spend 5€ more per unit and get a better development experience.

It is a decision per case basis and not really something that we can generalise as all embedded development is like X.
Well, no, since just subscribing to the WSJ is only $10 a month, it's far from priceless.
I can understand the fast lookup, but if I understand correctly, every object in the game is an entity, and every entity is represented in every vector? So if you have a hundred game properties, an object that only utilizes three properties still has to be allocated a hundred times over?

Also I'm not sure how a system is meant to recognize which entities to do its work on, without iterating over the entire associated vector, every frame?

It seems like there's a lot of waste in this model

I'm also not sure why struct of arrays is better than an array of structs, where each struct implements each component as a trait (but still relies on the system to do the work), at least logically. It would definitely be more memory efficient if there's a high number of components that are rarely used, if I understand things correctly

I will have a look at it next time, thanks.
Speaking as a vegan: The reason I am vegan is for utilitarian reasons. Neuroscientists agree that there is firm evidence that all animals (NOT PLANTS) are sentient to varying degrees. I believe that in the future it will be possible to quantify exactly how sentient each species is (e.g. a dog is 1/4 of a person or a cow is 1/5 of a person). Furthermore, through technology such as EEG, fMRI, and intravenous monitoring of hormone levels, it will be possible to quantify whether a given species is, on average, happy more than sad. Speaking as a living being, I believe that life is on the whole vastly more positive than negative. The balance only tips for the worse when factors such as slavery and torture come into play, which is why I choose not to consume products produced in factory farms, which are the modern implementation of slavery.
Are you implying that “economics” is/are a science that can be expressed through mathematical models?
"That again, they respond to stimuli but don't feel pain like an animal."

I don't feel this is a valid argument. We only really know how pain feels to us, but we can guess it also applies to other humans, animals, etc. That we cannot imagine how it feels to respond to negative stimuli as a plant should not invalidate the possibility that it is unpleasant.
