Pointer authentication is not a form of bounds checking. It solely exists to prevent a malicious attacker using a bug to directly overwrite pointers (and in practice, it's mostly limited to return addresses right now). Code which does buggy pointer arithmetic will still create valid pointers to data outside the intended buffer.
I wonder why we haven't thought of a decimal calendar synced with the seasons like:

W1 W2 W3 W4 W5 W6 W7 W8 W9
SPR 1 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10
SUM 1 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10
AUT 1 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10
WIN 1 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 1 [1]

So we only have four months (seasons) and each has nine weeks of ten days each. Each season starts with a neutral day (equinox and solstice) then follow the weeks with ten days each. At the end of the year there is a universal holiday and an extra holiday for leap year.

We could also name all days of the week after the eight planets and the sun as initially intended (including moonday). We could have seven working days and three days off or three working days then two off then three more working days then two off per week.

Whatever, just wanted to leave a stinky brainfart in this room for posterity.

The great auto disruption
Thinking of building a SW company using open source
We are thinking of using an opensource core to expedite a SAAS offering we are building.

Why? We think this will save us about 10 man-years of work.

We plan to use an opensource app and heavily modify it. In the end we estimate that final product will have around 30% of opensource code.

- throw away the entire front end, i.e, build brand new user interface

- build new APIs

- Modify the core functionality quite a bit.

The platform we are considering is MPL 1.0

We do not plan to offer the Source Code - it will be entirely cloud based.

Questions:
1. Has anyone built such a product?
2. Can i still get funded by VCs (we have angel investors now)

Thanks

The single biggest weakness in these platforms (in my opinion) is trust in the platform itself.

Parties with a low trust score have a vested interest in undermining the credibility of the platform.

Users who had an experience contrary to what the trust score would indicate may make paranoid accusations of collusion.

Then, there is the actual potential for collusion. The site has to make money, and that is going to come from the users or from the professionals on your site. Users simply won't pay, and professionals will only pay of they get special treatment.

Angie's list provides a great case study into this problem. Angie's list has a free and a premium (gold) tier for users. I don't know how they charge businesses, but I assume businesses can pay for favorable placement.

Yelp is another example. It is much more popular (being free for users), but is also subject to a lot more suspicion and accusations of collusion, or even extortion, from users and businesses alike.

What's the end point of that pullup system? I can do about 12 in a row I think.

If I did this policy, by a frequently used door, would I end up overtrained, or would I become so strong in my arms that I could do 30-40 or so when rested? And if so, would my arms become enormous?

I'm asking because I'm somewhat interested in this policy, but....since I already do strength training and can do pullups, I'm not sure where it would lead.

(I guess I could modify it to only do pullups on workout days, 3x per week, but do them everytime I passed on those days)
The Sriracha company doesn't try too hard to make each batch identical from their FAQ - just the variation in chiles alone make that impossible except within a 55 gallon mix, it sounds like it would not be possible without using a lot of additional ingredients to smooth out the flavor between batches like companies do with orange juice.

What's so great about being a public company in the first place? Shareholder meetings, quarterly filings, analyst recommendations, and the rest are all a big drag on actually running a company.

Granted, some companies need an exit event for their employees and other stakeholders (if they're still unprofitable at the time of IPO). You can also argue that, in the past, going public instilled a sense of discipline in young companies. But is it still worth the hassle?
This is the key. There are super developed SSR frameworks and super developed SPA frameworks, but getting the two to work together is like pulling teeth. No one tries to write an SSRSPA framework because that would be considered too "opinionated", but maybe that's exactly what we need.
If what you say is accurate (and, I admit, it’s a logical progression from the situation I mentioned), the Nash equilibrium is that only people who don’t know or don’t care their comp is going to be stunted will work at startups. That seems bad for the startup ecosystem, so VCs and founders ought to care about it, but they don’t seem to. That seems to point to a flaw in the chain of reasoning.
Hi HN! I wrote this because I thought the world needed yet another Haskell guide - I hoped to combine the relative conciseness of Learn You A Haskell with the better pedagogical philosophies of Functional Programming From First Principles such as exercises and example projects.

It's still a work in progress but I think it's progressed to the point where it could be useful to beginners! I don't shy away from covering more advanced topics like Stack configuration, testing with Hspec+Quickcheck, and GADTs/DataKinds (which were sorely lacking in good documentation). If anyone finds it useful or has any comments/criticism, please let me know!

I would second going back to school if you can afford it. You can always start going part-time and then transition to full time if you really see it as another career path.

I'd also recommend the Art of Problem Solving's Calculus text, it has a solution book, as well as their Volume 2 book. Try working through those on your own, since you have great background in math you should find it quite enjoyable, and perhaps somewhat challenging.

This is my first time reading about Edsu, it seems very similar to the Solid Platform in one important aspect: it keeps data in the control of the user, separate from applications.

I like how low-level and simplified the protocol is, being limited to only 9 types of messages. Compared to Solid which carries baggage from RDF, this seems far easier for third parties to implement.

The note-taking app is really under-selling the protocol beneath it. What could help sell it better is by doing something better than a centralized platform can.
Chocolatey is very handy but has a few warts. It can't tell if the underlying app has self-updated. When Chrome autoupdates after choco install, the next time you run a choco upgrade, it will unnecessarily upgrade Chrome again.
I really like your classical vs jazz analogy, but I don’t think it applies here.

You can “jazzily” improvise your way through higher levels of abstraction just as much as you can immediate control flow. The folks OP describes aren’t really exhibiting a skill that’s useful in production at all. They’re just venturing out into the creative arts of coding. They break rules to do interesting things. Which is cool, and might sometimes correlate with commercially useful boldness or cleverness, but isn’t a particularly well-tuned signal.

The pressures of competitive coding can open up new ways of thinking about code and about problem solving. But there’s still a big leap from there to any kind of good engineering, startup or enterprise or other.

Idolizing the OP’s coders is only helpful if what they’re doing (competitive coding) is what you want to do. It doesn’f speak to commercial value.

Maybe. Assuming equal practice/preparation time, they're smarter than you.

No big deal.
Not really. The web has become massively centralized with almost all traffic going to a small number of sites. The bottom of the top 100 list is only getting about 50 million pageviews a month, even poorly written sites in slow languages can easily do that on very cheap low end hardware. Pretty much anything not in the top 100 is dealing with a tiny amount of traffic, even a fair bit of the top 100 is. So it is github and twitch, neither of which actually do anything substantial in RoR any more. That seems like a pretty good reason to think RoR's strength isn't high traffic volumes.

Use whatever tools work for you, but also don’t disparage or dismiss other tools because they have different strengths and weaknesses than what you know or appreciate. There is no need for proselytizing; these are just tools after all!

I like JavaScript and TypeScript because they have let me quickly build many great things and share them with people. I also subjectivity find writing in them to be enjoyable. I may always turn to a different language if it is more productive and enjoyable than js/ts for the task at hand.

I agree, the protocol looks pretty neat. I wonder what the hold up is on Linux support. I love me some FreeBSD, but Linux is better supported.

> I think this is a mischaracterization, since these things apply to free software as well. The difference is that it is usually much easier to detect when such things are happening, and modify the program so that it no longer does these things.

> Again, this doesn’t seem to me to be a “free software” argument. The reason this doesn’t usually happen with free software is that there is no central entity that controls the software, whereas with non-free software one company/server/person can control their products and “backdoor” them.

But that is the whole point! Software freedom is about power. The point isn't that it is impossible to licence malware under GPL, the point is that GPL gives the user the freedom to remove the malware parts. Your argument seems a bit like saying that claiming that free markets help with price discovery is a mischaracterization because people can offer overpriced products in a free market ... when the whole point of a free market is that the buyer has the option to not buy the overpriced product, and it's just completely irrelevant whether overpriced offers exist.

> So I’m really curious how the economy would work if everyone sold free software, since this doesn’t seem like something that would work.

Potentially, the mistake is simply in thinking in terms of "selling software". Instead of software, you can simply sell development work. Not that that necessarily works in every market, but the point is that the model of repeatedly selling the end result of the development work is not the only way to make money by applying your expertise at developing software.

> Also, just a a final comment, I find it amusing that Stallman has these little nicknames for all the non-free things he doesn’t like. It seems to me a bit childish; I wonder if this actually helps him or it just makes other people feel like I do.

Well, the emotional reaction can be a problem for him being taken serious by some. But you have to consider that the status quo in many ways is not neutral, and also often the result of intentional framing by other parties. It's just that they are way better at hiding their manipulation from your view.

I think there is a lot of value in working on visual/reactive representation of algebraic structures. I have stopped counting the number of times I spent toiling on a result to understand its "depth" only to realize that much of that so-called depth comes from the narrow perspective from which I am contemplating it.

A good amount of undergraduate mathematics is exactly that: working on fundamental results long enough and deeply enough that you get a coherent mental model that lets you manipulate, compose, and spot them.

It seem to me that most of the attempts at visual mathematics fall short of not being general enough to capture different sorts of objects or ideas, or not in a way that is visually helpful anyway. And I'm thinking maybe this has more to do with the expressiveness of the visual medium rather anything else. Maybe images/visuals are just not powerful enough to map with these objects, maybe you need something at least as powerful as the "physical world" (albeit with different law of physics - dependent on the system you are studying). Example: the same way you cannot match the language of matched parenthesis with anything less powerful than a CFG.

Now, this is speculative and a conjecture: suppose that you have a perfectly immersive VR world, then could you find a way to perfectly match the axiomatic system+semantics/syntax of a mathematical object (e.g a Field) to a visual representation along with some physical rules (e.g 1+1=0) such that your actions in that world are always sound and correct with respect to the mathematical object it maps to.
Bing is likely to return spam and scams on any search. There is no conspiracy against Chrome.
Even if they were, I would expect the adjustments to not be that difficult. This sort of temporal logic already accepts and encompasses many of the issues relativistic time would raise. For instance, computer science already has to handle the possibility that event X will occur but remote site Y literally never hears about it, or hears about it many, many, many multiples of the fundamental speed-of-light latency later, arbitrarily interleaved with any number of other events in the mean time. It would be less of a shock to computer science than it was to physics.
I really do not see a connection between both sentences.

Kemeny was a really interesting guy. His obituary[1] gives some good background on him. I read his 1972 book, "Man and the Computer"[2], in the early 90s. Some of his predictions about how computers would be used in the future (ubiquitous networking, online shopping, etc) were spot-on. His idea of "mainframes" providing centralized services seemed backwards to me in the early 90s, when I was just getting my PC onto the Internet for the first time, but it appears that he got that one right too.

They don't make identical batches, most of the chiles they get come from 1 time of the year.

They preblend a 55 gallon mix (Its their chile paste you can buy at the grocery store) and use that production stock for the rest of the year. They add some additives / flavors etc to make the actual srircha afterwards. Srircha only carries 3 products, chile paste, chile paste with garlic, and srircha.

Factory tour was worth it, I had to plan a month in advance but it was really cool to see. Especially how many 55 gallon jugs they store in their warehouse.

I don't know what the exact testing method they used for quality control, that part of factory was off limits and they didn't explain it either
