Well i think you can follow patchfoo instalation from github. I think crypt0x (user in comment bellow) wrote it. If you will struggle just search/ask on scuttlebutt. It is actually very nice small community.
Probably. Improbably, it could produce the ubermensch. Someone needs to get on it.
It really blows my mind that people can think Google would spend the time to do this when they automate literally everything else.

Fact: Google has hired humans to moderate. They've even spoken to the press about how it went a bit wrong at first.

How is this not just more conservative persecution syndrome?

Note that it's you who has the facts wrong here.
Emscripten seems like a good start, the tooling already exists.
You believe providing citizens information on how to vote is putting a thumb of the scales and biasing voters, and instructing you on how to vote?
Major caveat:

As I understand common animal training wisdom and the literature, punishment (+P/-R, in conditioning circles) does work. It just needs to be applied only when necessary, and in the right way. Punishment to avert a behavior is supposed to be short-duration and immediately after the behavior is observed. Judicial punishment fails on both counts. It also is supposed to be done only when the (natural) consequences of the misbehavior are potentially dire, or when the animal already knows what they're supposed to do, and is misbehaving due to some other drive.

But the judicial system of punishment is great for creating predators (prisons are great for reinforcing predatory behavior, on both sides of the bars), and it's also great for mis-training people to try to avoid getting caught, or to fight to the death in court, instead of training them to avoid criminal behavior in the first place.

Related to this, the wasm generated by Go is currently tied to being executed in the browser.

There doesn't yet seem to be a implementable standard to define what a non-browser execution environment looks like. The beginnings of a common spec are here though, which some places have started working with:

https://github.com/CommonWA/cwa-spec

That'll likely need to make it's way into the official specs:

* https://github.com/WebAssembly/design

* https://github.com/WebAssembly/spec

At which point implementations will have something to focus on. :)

For the Go, this is the (recent) matching issue:

https://github.com/golang/go/issues/27766

Kind of guessing it'll turn into a tracking issue to get it done.
This is totally beside the point. Antitrust law governs market dominance and manipulation of market competition. It has nothing to do with political speech. If it did, Fox News would be in serious trouble!

Are there any other cities that have survived as desirable places to live after they've lost everyone outside of the monoculture?

To someone like me who has interests both in- and outside of software, there's no question that San Francisco is the top place in the world for software today, but that doesn't mean I'd want to live there -- any more than I'd want to live in an highly productive industrial district.

> Beyond the opportunities you’ll receive personally, tech is currently reshaping the whole world — and San Francisco is at the center of it. I feel lucky every day, getting to witness what’s happening here. It’s often compared to the renaissance in Florence during the 15th century.

Except Florence was all about art, and earlier in this blog post you observed that San Francisco "chased away" all the artists. Those sound like completely different environments. Life is not just about living at an economic inflection point. Oil reshaped the world, too, but that doesn't mean I'd want to have lived at a refinery in the 1950's.

> Some people get super annoyed when you say this.

I'm not surprised. If the only thing you take from the history of Florence is that it was economically successful, I think you're missing the point. Quick, name anything at all memorable from 15th century Florence that is not about art.

Even Florence couldn't survive without art. There were just as many merchants living there after the Counter-Reformation began, but it couldn't save them from the fall.
But I love Colorado. The weather is great year round (IMO), tons of sun, even in the winter, which keeps it comfortable and melts the snow quickly. Boulder is also more feasible for commuting than the bay area, allowing you to be removed from Boulder housing prices (which are still not at bay area levels).

You also get a better variety of different people with different attitudes (more so in Denver and CoSp), as compared to the ironically homogeneous bay area tribe. I take an active interest in encompassing as many different things and ideas as possible, and like having people around me that fuel that.

>the government learn that you're also drug dealer, they can still prosecute you

Yes, but that's not punishment for communicating or publishing ideas. You can admit things that can be used against you in a prosecution for a different crime, but you cannot be legally punished for merely communicating or publishing ideas. To use such an example as evidence that you are not free from consequence legitimizes the common sentiment that freedom of speech is a soft right that can be violated if we feel like it very strongly.
It is not. It is just that you see very sensitive.
Is simply being a mainstream Republican against the ToS? Since those things are worded so they can mean anything, it's probably technically correct to say so. However, it's petty and dishonest to use that to suppress speech on what's supposedly just a media publishing platform.

Statistics show that in real terms Baby Boomers had it better than any other generation I know of. It's not just an impression. They made huge money in real terms, which is especially amazing given that most of them were not highly educated.
I'm more qualified to comment on .NET but the main difference here is that Core was basically starting over on .NET from zero to go cross-platform and then immediately scrambling to get everybody's favorite feature plugged back in. Java seems to be trying to chip pieces off of the standard library by either modularizing or like this, just dropping it from the standard offering.
Can you expand on pulling a Lightbank? Full disclosure, I’ve worked for two Lightbank-funded companies in Chicago but am just curious what you meant there.
Nah, you tried to set up a straw man with the "So you are saying {{straw man}}" to knock it down.

And giving counter-examples is not poisoning the well, unless you personally have a history with violating child pornography laws that I'm not aware of. Then that would be discrediting you as a pedophile, not your argument, and in which case I apologize for picking such a touchy counter-example for you.
I'm not sure why linking third party code is a concern, it all must live inside the sandbox provided by the runtime. This reduces the trust requirements from depending on a (software | hardware) solution where the hardware portion cannot be audited, and by 2018 are no longer to be considered trustworthy by default, to only depending on access and bounds checks implemented by a single body of code visible to everyone.

The 'system call interface' available to those buggy libraries need be no more capable than existed previously, that system calls are serviced without switching protection mode need not extend the potency of any possible attacks.

A future implementation of this style of design will have much better security and auditability properties than anything that has ever popularly existed in the past. It may have originated with the web, but I welcome wasm and all the market punch it promises to bear on ancient and long-unquestioned corners of our software stack like this. (Naturally I was also a Microsoft Singularity fan)

This is the obvious reason why they have to take the government seriously. The stakes are that they end up heavily regulated.

On a side note, I find it very ironic that a community who so passionately embrace net neutrality are so quick to cry 1A and liberty when it comes to political censorship and bias by the huge internet companies.
I live in SF.

There is a very clear trend of companies starting to look elsewhere for talent, such that in the long term, I really doubt the tradeoffs of SF will be worth it. The cost of living here is just terrible and I think companies are starting to accept that the government and people just really don't want tech to be here, at all.

Here are a few examples of what I'm talking about:

New Relic - serious tech company - note how much elsewhere: https://newrelic.com/about/careers

Carbon Robotics - Guadalajara - http://www.carbon.ai/careers/

Front page of the SF Chronicle: https://www.sfchronicle.com/business/article/For-San-Francis... "Politics, economics and real estate could make jobs boom elsewhere"

Absurd cafeteria ban - showcases the general attitude of the city government toward tech, something between a never-ending money fountain to pillage, and a nuisance: https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/SF-s-proposed-em...

Gecko Robotics, Pittsburgh: https://www.geckorobotics.com/

Others offhand: Boston Dynamics, wherever Amazon puts HQ2 (I'm guessing Atlanta, DC, or Pittsburg), Sendgrid and Gusto moving people to Boulder, numerous great options in Seattle (Zillow, Microsoft, Amazon), tons of great companies in NYC.

I really believe you have to skate to where the puck is going with this stuff, not where it is now. In my view, the future is clearly "the rise of the rest". Salaries have gotten so out of control, the only companies who can afford to be here at the mega-tech giants (monopolies) who can afford the pay numbers people are throwing around. It's not sustainable and I think there will be major growth elsewhere in the next decade, especially as venture funding starts to fan out, traditional industries start to figure out software more (e.g. food processing in Chicago), and people in their 30s with 10+ years experience want to start families and have to take care of parents.

"Bemoan" is a strong word. The government whose soldiers murdered these women and children called it "fake news", declaring their innocence before even investigating. The BBC is criticising that disgusting behavior by contrasting their emphasis of the soldier's legal innocence until proven guilty with the neglect they exhibited for the people who were executed.
- C-style strings are null-terminated, with no information about their length
- no equivalent of "for item in items" or "map" because no native data type has any concept of its length
- array-to-pointer decay

Modern assembly languages - for processors that have SIMD or AVX instructions - are more natively able to deal with several things at one time than C is.
Honestly, does using Google even matter anymore unless you are trying to search for something extremely obscure?

Most of the time, my searches are directly for products (ie, Amazon.com, Target.com, Walmart.com), people (ie fb.com), Wikipedia (first few hits on Google), locations (yelp.com, Google maps, ___ maps), recommendations (yelp.com, etc), hotels or travel (expedia.com, kayak.com, hotwire.com, united.com, southwest.com, etc) or Stackoverflow (first page of Google) — I’d wager any modern search engine such as Bing or DDG can easily present all the relevant Stackoverflow/Stackexchange/Stack{...} results you could ever desire.

It’s not the same as the old days of random (important) data sprinkled across the personal/hobby pages of some knowledgeable people across Geocities — is there even a need for using Google anymore?
I wish I could have the best of all worlds here - a minimal browser like qutebrowser but also built on the latest Chromium (or whatever engine you prefer, something built on Servo would be cool) but sadly even the qt5-webengine backend is stuck back in Chromium 65.X which was released at the very beginning of this year

To be fair, I've not done enough research to KNOW whether or not that poses any real security risk but it's still a concern. There's also the FOMO that I'm missing some modern browser features that I can only test out in other browsers :/

It's OSS though, so I should probably shut up and roll up my sleeves
>everybody felt the horrors of war and knowing personal loss

This is common to nearly every generation in world history. Yes, many Americans died. Yes, it was terrible. Yes, many people genuinely suffered grief.

But if we look at the data honestly, you weren't that likely to die or be in combat if you were an American. They had it comparatively good.

>the jobs that you speak so fondly of had awful workplace safety, horrible pollution problems, and generally poor working conditions compared to today

Today the pollution is worse, and people have worse living conditions instead of working conditions. I know many people who would like to have a high paying, more dangerous job than their current dead-end job that can not support a family, much less one person who wants to live without government assistance. Many people today would gratefully make that trade.
To me, the show stopper was web pages blinking white when reloading or opening a new tab. And no real way to fix that, except to change the global CSS, which messes up some websites that doesn't set background-color, etc. etc.
I can't imagine this kind of analysis carrying much weight in 3-5 years as advances in machine learning and image manipulation turn the notion of "seeing is believing" on its head.

edit: Imagine running this process in reverse. Pick the culprit, time, and location. Then arrange the scene to exactly match the false accusation.

Probably didn't happen here, but in a few years it won't be possible to know the difference.

They do, but the context we're talking about is paying Google for Google software, not using Google as a storefront for buying other people's software.

In case anyone is wondering SF county (& many of the counties around it) pay 16.2% of their income in taxes putting them in the top 20 of the country [1]. SF/Oakland have some of the longest waiting for permits for residential at 10.2 months on average [2]

I can't seem to find any good sources on exactly how much public aid is spent.

Because I was wondering, the SF MSA ranked 25th out of ~1k in terms of worst income inequality [3]

All of these data points come from different sources and from different years.

It's been two years since I last worked with Swift. I absolutely loved Swift as a language but abhorred these updates.

And because society hasn't collapsed yet, things are fine? Adaptation doesn't take effect that quickly, but it still takes effect. Maybe we will only see brain size decrease in a few thousand years (that is, if you believe in the assumptions).
MixPanel is the biggie for user tracking during entire app lifecycle. But it can be $$$$. And you can miss out on collecting your own valuable data.

If you are writing your own web servers and request handlers at the outset. Then you can structure your log file data as required. And use the ELK stack to process very powerful queries, business analytics, predictive machine learning, sentiment analysis, etc.

From looking at high_level.h it can instantiate any wasm file, but it seems to need the host code specially integrated. There is a function to instantiate the emscripten runtime, probably code can be added to instantiate the go or rust runtimes.

A rocket ship is also "single purpose."
The problem I see with this is that there are still no 8bit or 16bit data types (or bitfields for that matter) in the wasm spec, which are kind of useful for interfacing with hardware and for protocols (Ethernet, TCP/IP, etc). Sure, you can pack and unpack them with masks and shifts (which I assume clang,LLVM,gcc,etc do), but it seems awfully inefficient when the resulting code ends up running on x86 or other architectures with native 8/16 bit instructions.

It's a throwaway comment, but perhaps (as with most problems of philosophy) the problem is really semantic? What does "will" really mean, in free will? It imagines a little person sitting in my head piloting my body. It seems equally plausible that there is no central "me", I'm just a competing mess of programs running in my brain (at varying levels of abstraction), with the gut biome being the BIOS. There may be a hypervisor in there somewhere, but that's the most you can hope for in terms of rational direction. Everything runs in parallel, and the part I think of as "me" rationalizes decisions after the fact.

Horizontal gene transfer? A literal virus that changes who you are. It's interesting to think that by going paleo or vegan you can perhaps become another "person"...

- Violence: it is not uncommon to hear a friend that was robbed and it is very common to see news of drug trafficking, murder and other crimes: who lives here is usually afraid of violence;

- Public Healthcare is far from being good, although it is free to use (it is maintained by taxes), waiting list to see a doctor or to do an exam usually takes months. Whoever can afford a health insurance usually does;

- Public Transportation: although expensive, metro is reliable most of the time but buses aren't.

- Housing prices: it is very expensive to live near where you work (if you work on the major business districts);
Gee, that sounds like an interesting visit. And it looks like it opened in 2007. I'd bet the US' most notable computer museum is the CHM in California. It would be nice if we had a public museum for computing like the UK's. Although I suppose there might not be much difference in practice.
The formats used to store data are an incredible mess. https://github.com/spencermountain/wtf_wikipedia has a take on it.
One of the things that can really make or break a project for me is how its developers behave towards the users. The developer of this project is a really upstanding, responsive, kind human being. I think his project deserves all the attention it can get.

I have used qutebrowser as my primary browser on Linux for years. I have no complaints. In fact, qutebrowser runs smoothly on some of my older machines where Firefox struggles to run.

Unfortunately, I also use Windows a lot. QTWebEngine builds for Windows do not have some codecs most of the internet expects you to have, and some js laden sites seem to perform poorly on the Windows builds. Both of these problems are with the qtwebengine project and there's nothing qutebrowser can do about that. Even so, I would recommend Windows users give it a try anyway.
Of course Microsoft wants to provide tools. Developers are what made Windows popular. They want to have cross platform tools because their next growth opportunity is Azure.
That’s an extremely narrow definition of a programmer’s job.

I think that in terms of lines if code, my contribution to many projects was net negative.
4 Habits That Will Make You a Better Business Owner and Entrepreneur
It looks like the NYT article is taking from this CBO report: https://www.cbo.gov/system/files?file=2018-06/53919-2018ltbo.... You'll notice that in the article and in the report, it's shown as "Net interest" which is defined by the CBO as the amount the US government pays out in interest payments minus what it takes in interest payments (CBO glossary: https://www.cbo.gov/sites/default/files/114th-congress-2015-...). So the interest payments on the ~40% of the debt the goverment owes to itself would cancel out.
This is neat! I was surprised to see that the main contribution here is parallel processing. For something like fuzzing, it seems like a very obvious optimization strategy.

Hopefully time saved results in more bugs found :)

However, given what we know about voter demographics and turnout in the United States during "mid-term" elections (low turnout among young people, with much "green field" to expand into)... it's clearly an attempt to influence the election, in the favor of Google shareholders' interest.

I'd cite references, but they are too easy to Google (heh).

It's a shovel all right.

(PS -- don't get me wrong or reflexively downvote me for perceived partisanship -- my party interests align with Google's in this matter, outside of anti-trust issues)

EDIT: to add, Google ran no such Doodle for National Voter Registration day last year, according to their archives. HMMMMM.

The real u571 was sunk by depth charge and is totally unrelated to the plot of the movie. The movie is loosely based on a combination of the u505 which was in fact captured by the US Navy, and the u110 which was captured by the Brits. The u505 is often left out of the story by the British in keeping with their love of not acknowledging American involvement in the Wars.
