Defects promise quantum communication through standard optical fiber
Looks like you're taking this personally...

> you are implying that MBAs are aware of their boundaries but scientists and engineers aren't?

No, a lot of them just don't care about those subjects.

But engineers clearly aren't aware of their boundaries. The running joke in my group of engineering classmates is "Because who really understands about [insert non-engineering subject here] is computer engineers...]".

It isn't a coincidence that nobody else uses "I can't see why..." or "I don't understand why..." as an argument, as if the fact that you can't see or understand implied that it must not be true.

Just take a look at the hacker news feed at any day...
I tried it years ago and it was a terrible product for exactly the reasons you mentioned - one click smiley-GUI setup that consistently failed to work.

And lots of stuck-on features that I couldn't imagine anyone using in a small office, like a barebones custom Wiki.

I never understood where Apple were going with it. As I understand it, it was a solid product that did what it was supposed to - i.e. help network admins manage a network full of Macs and i-devices.

Then those features disappeared, and it turned into My Little Server, but worse.

Which is a shame, because there may be a market for a good server product, and Apple could have owned it.
Is there an advantage to writing ASM without intrinsics?
The important part is the payout to people finding prior art, less so the disincentive to file patents that don't hold up. So this could be financed through insurance: patent filers could insure against bounty payments.

I feel like Minecraft should be the exception to nearly every single rule in game dev (except when it itself is the rule).

That said, there's a difference between making an engine for a game like Minecraft vs. the kind of engine needed for Limit Theory.

At the end of the day, it's the same stories and questions about core competency present in almost every business. If you want to build a shelf, and you have to start by making the tools that will cut the tree that will become the shelf... it's going to be a while until you see a shelf, and in the process you'll probably be producing more useful tools than shelves.

Unity is popular for the same reasons AWS is popular: It allows you to focus your time on what you excel at, instead of spending it reinventing various wheels. Some businesses (and games) can succeed despite reinventing those wheels, not necessarily because of it.

And in some extremely rare cases, "what you excel at" is both building the engine and making an excellent game out of it (Present company included; I'd recognize your name anywhere). Stardew Valley and The Witness are the only two examples I can give off-hand of significant, outstanding, indie games that were released with a custom engine. And I would maintain that in both cases, it wasn't necessary to create the engine. In SDV's case it's even questionable if it actually helped at all.

Every other example I could come up predates the days of high quality engines being readily available to sub-$100k budget games.

Edit: I'll add Psychonauts to that list; once again, a decision of questionable gain that the author AIUI regretted.

Onai | | Silicon Valley or New York | FULL TIME, CONTRACTORS, GRADUATE INTERNS, POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWS, ONSITE, VISA

We're tackling exciting technical challenges and building offerings relevant to interesting real-world problems in a variety of fields. We have particular strengths in dispersed computation, protocol design, and deep learning.

We're currently most interested in engineers with solid experience in Rust, Haskell/Idris, or graphics programming. We're also open to enthusiastic developers or researchers who might lack this precise experience but are eager and able to learn. We welcome internship/fellowship interest from postdoctoral scholars or senior graduate students.

We're additionally interested in chatting with people with broadly technical background who are interested in scientific and technical writing.

We do not presently have openings for anyone still working on their undergraduate degree or for fresh graduates.

Send your resume to info@onai.com and we'll let you know if there's a potential fit.
Younger people everywhere do this, especially in non-pub cultures where its not likely that the same group of people will meet up again. In the US its extremely common to split things - only some business meetings, family gatherings or extremely close friends is a group all paid as one, or sometimes one person pays while everyone uses a payment app to pay them back.

I think that Musk's "taunt" is exaggerated. It can easily be read as a way of reinforcing his personal "brand" contra his apparent genuflection to the SEC. (And if Musk's reputation is so important to Tesla as some believe, it makes sense.)
Even the Famicom/NES had specialized hardware in many of its cartridges.

>So you are saying that "costless" abstractions of C++ actually had some cost? Who would have thought.

Size obviously doesn't count. Obviously abstractions will produce more code.
Envoy | All types of software engineering jobs | San Francisco, CA and distributed | Full-time | https://envoy.com

You've seen our visitor registration kiosk everywhere. We're on a mission to create the office of the future and visitor management is just the beginning. We’re building a world where you know instantly when packages are delivered; where your office unlocks securely and automatically when you arrive; where you can book a meeting room simply by walking through the door.

We have 1/2 of our engineering team working full-time remotely with the rest in SF HQ. Continental US time zones are preferred so we can easily collaborate. Here's a blog post about our distributed environment: https://envoy.engineering/building-our-remote-distributed-en...

Our stack is built on Ruby&Rails, PostgreSQL, Redis, Elixir, JavaScript (Ember.js), Swift, and a few more things. We’re currently hosted on Heroku and are moving to AWS.

We value being a top-notch organization with a strong engineering-driven culture, and have the same high standards with our code, systems, and people. We value learning and growth (and not being bored) and hire diverse, well-rounded, communicative people we can envision being friends with and trusting. Here are our Engineering principles: https://github.com/envoy/Engineering/blob/master/principles....

You can get more info on our jobs page https://envoy.com/jobs/ Or just apply to https://goo.gl/GEy3JE and we’ll make sure to get back to you.
Assuming they have thought of those options, perhaps that tells you how little value there is there.
“Very smart people often have very little knowledge of finance and business.”

This I found to be a glib generalization. What is so intrinsic about business knowledge that cannot be learned through studying and experience? Say compared to learning how compilers work and building one?
Would you consider any of these books good, beyond the novelty?
And yet Shovel Knight is doing so so great. Cuphead too. Turns out retro platformers can do great. But way too many indie retro platformers are just trash with nothing to save them.

I don't think you can gauge success by looking at existing titles. It's like asking if there's a market for scifi novels. What do you find? People like scifi novels, and there are lots of scifi novels that suck and nobody reads them. Do people like metal music? There's tons of successful metal bands, and there's an ocean of trash.

Every work is unique.

Agreed. His "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" is also great.
I'm being asked to give up 7.5% equity. We're bootstrapped. I was paid around 1/2 the market price for 2 years, and I gave up that amount because I valued the equity more, and now they're telling me I can't have any of my vested equity.
What would be fair compensation in this case?

I've worked with Django, React, React Native, Node. Rather than a job I think I'd prefer to freelance while I travel. Do you have any recommendations on how I could get started?

Yes. For intrinsics, the compiler chooses whether and when to spill variables to the stack. For hand-written assembly, you are explicitly burdened with this yourself, usually causing you to optimize the flow of the function so it minimizes stack spilling. In addition, your function will perform the same regardless of the compiler.

In FFmpeg, we have found in the past that functions written in pure assembly are typically a few % faste than those written in intrinsics. Depending on your use case, that may make it worth it.

The obvious disadvantage is that pure assembly is harder, so writing functions takes a bit longer.
Level 12 | Full Stack Web Developer - Python, React, SQL | Louisville, KY | REMOTE, SALARY:$75K-125K, https://www.level12.io/careers/

We have a openings for mid and senior level positions. Please see our website for a very detailed job description written by a developer for developers. No plain, repetitive, HR riddled job description here, we want you to know what you are really getting into:

https://www.level12.io/careers/

- If you apply as instructed, we will give you a yay or nay response. No black holes here!

- We have a commitment to transparency and offer a “no surprises experience” throughout the interview and hiring process.

- We practice and preach sound development practices. You are likely to learn and grow as a developer while working here.

- You will have the option of working from home or our office, whatever suits you best. Let’s make the most of our time and minimize commuting when not necessary.

- We emphasize work/life balance and adopt policies that make sure our people don’t get burnt out. For instance, our PTO/Vacation policies are designed so that you actually use them.

- A commitment to Agile Principles while not being enslaved to any particular methodology.

- You are committed to automated testing of all the software you write (our apps typically have 92%+ test coverage).

- You recognize that there is a lot of idealism in the software development community and are not disenchanted with the the day-to-day realities of programming.
Rather than saying no, pick what you think is a ludicrous number for a price for said services. If they balk, you’re in the same spot. If they don’t, you just made way more money than you can imagine.

Also, most companies don’t bother actually calling support. They prefer email as well. You can limit it further by having a named support contact and require they do the calling. If that person is in your time zone that reduces the impact and coverage period substantially.

Maybe helpful for the HN crowd: the adaptive immune response typically prioritizes a low false positive rate. A developing cancer sneaks by as a false negative. Checkpoint blockade moves the immune system to a regime of higher sensitivity, at the expense of potentially lower specificity.
Accelerated Digital Ventures | Backend developer | REMOTE within UK | Full-time | https://accelerated.ventures/

We're a UK patient venture investor building Venture Market (https://www.venturemarket.org/) as well as ADV's internal dealflow management engines.

Our backend is all Ruby (Sinatra, Sequel) talking to Elasticsearch and Postgres. Our frontends are React.

We're looking for someone prepared to work closely with the architect (that's me) on evolving the platform to replace a bunch of ad-hoc processes put in place as the company spun up into a clean, cohesive platform with lots of scope to explore data and build a system that can help change venture capital for the better.

We don't have an office, and we're spread around the UK, but occasional meetings mostly in London will be expected.

You do, however, see them tell the engineers they can't have product X they requested, because product Y is the same thing but about a half million bucks cheaper.
Then the engineers have to add a year of extra development to make product Y actually work, costing about half a million in development salaries and who knows how much opportunity cost from delaying the project by a year.

Then again, I shouldn't complain. People like that mean there's always lots of work available for people like me.
The study was not disproved, the conclusion was.

The critical part of science is the actual data and methodology. If you do X you will see Y is what constrains new theories. Conclusions on the other hand have very little weight.

Even 600nm is commercially viable for specialty applications, 300nm for low-end general purpose, and their aim is 180nm. So there is nothing about the process itself that disqualifies it.

Good Overview of Modern Visual Application Builders?
I'm looking for good pointers on visual application builder tools.

It's been a long while since I needed to build relatively simple apps, and much has since changed (cloud computing, webapps etc).

In the past, things like Borland Delphi were a good starting point. Recently, I played with Google App maker, which seems almost 100% perfectly suited to build simple, SQL backed applications. It's reasonably expandable with server side and client side snippets, has a decent number of widgets and a decent deployment framework too. The fly in the ointment is that AppMaker only works for users in the same Google GSuite domain, so I cannot use it for general app building.

I'm loathe to start dealing with UI details in code and really like a visual tool that helps me focus on application logic.

I appreciate any pointers to such application builders. Ideally, they are free/open source, work on a Mac or linux or don't have heavy license handicaps.

Thanks!
When I looked into about 10 years ago that was the case. Looking for citation now.

Vaguely recalling an article about how he created a push in new Zealand to bring in more techn workers, leveraging his wealth to pressure/incentivize the government, etc.

Regardless, to your original point - a billionaire doing as he pleases does not affect my perception of a country.
There is no situation in which you have a broken government (i.e., refugee camps) where it is possible that crypto-currency will be useful. In refugee camps, even the doctors and aid workers have minimal access to the internet, and certainly not the type of stable connection you would need to transact crypto. Moreover, you would have extreme difficulty finding counterparties for the crypto-fiat exchange that don't charge usurious rates.

In situations where you just have broken governments, like Syria or Somalia, you generally also have broken utilities and private services, and internet is definitely low down on the list of priorities when you're worried about basic survival.
It's common knowledge that refugees streaming across border regularly bring computers, cell phones, solar panels, and large batteries to keep all those things going. Plus unlike most people in first world countries, most refugees are well versed in cryptocurrency wallets, trading, and the relative value of those coins to the daily needs of life like bread, and vegetables.

.... end sarcasm.

I'm genuinely surprised you pay support almost as much as engineers. I guess your support is a competitive advantage in your niche?
> But Mr Beagle said "serious criminals" would simply store incriminating material online.

> "You'd be mad to carry stuff over on your phone.

Of course, intelligent criminals would never have incriminating communications or evidence carried on a device across international borders. What's more, they would know that there is such a law and hence have their devices wiped clean or get devices with minimal information to support whatever cover they're using. Lawmakers and law enforcement must be idiots to imagine that serious crime could be prevented or caught by this measure.

> Privacy Commissioner John Edwards had some influence over the drafting of the legislation and said he was "pretty comfortable" with where the law stood.

This just shows how government appointed officers behave like puppets of the government, and rarely side with common people on big issues (such as mass surveillance).

Similar to DRM, these measures inconvenience the innocent while doing nothing to prevent the bad people from doing bad things. The balance is tilted heavily towards abuse and harassment of the innocent. Being one of the Five Eyes [1] countries, I'm not surprised that New Zealand does this kind of thing.

The lesson is loud and clear: if you're traveling, backup your phone online, wipe it, and then carry it with minimal personal information. Otherwise all your personal communications, including sensitive/intimate photos and private messages, will be taken by border patrol for their personal use.
