Another issue with just using averages and math: say you're looking at the housing crisis 10 years ago. Math says that the middle class actually had a net gain in wealth because when your house gets foreclosed on, you no longer have all that debt. 2006 -> buy $200k house with $190k mortgage. 2008 -> House worth $130k, still owe $175k. So net worth is -$45k. (This is not yet accounting for toxic assets in which you could assume the house not to be sellable and the owner thus a full $175k in debt). Owner defaults, net worth is now $0. A mathematical net worth increase of $45k, even though most people would agree this is a bad thing.
"Some studies leave out important components of compensation such as fringe benefits which have become increasingly important in recent years."

And why are those fringe benefits increasingly important, eh?
The passage you quote is already talking about real GDP per capita. Aggregate real GDP has more than tripled in that time frame.

I bet that compound earnings are the main contributor here. It's much easier to save more money because you're wealthy and have more money. Across generations this effect is massive.
That first one reminds me of a theme from Shadow of the Colossus! https://youtu.be/57jIlw6HmCE from 15:10 onwards
Well, making a leading underscore special would also be "syntax support", just in a different form.

This particular idea was not brought up during the RFC process, though several alternative syntaxes were. Leading underscore is already a thing in Rust, see shepmaster's posts on why this is not enough.

FWIW, we pretty much just followed existing languages here.
If I understand the article correctly, Rubin was released due to credible evidence of sexual misconduct but was given $90M going out the door. How is this appropriate punishment? The "news" of the article is that this needs to change.
This fantastic news will fall on willfully-deaf ears. The pundits and slacktivists who are far left or even outright Marxists don't actually want there to be progress for the poor or mobility across classes. What they really want is to divide people and ultimately eliminate classes and wealth entirely, with the goal being the destabilization of the west and the freedoms we all enjoy.
I think Polonius is such a great name for that project. For those who didn't read Shakespeare's Hamlet, Polonius is known for giving the advice "Neither a borrower nor a lender be."

I wasn't talking about in-house solutions, rather engines that many AAA studios buy in order to actually focus on the game itself.

As for the rest of your remark, it comes up in places like HN, but not at all when attending local game developer meetups, developer articles on Making Games, Gamasutra, Connection, IGDA, or many other professional publications.
r#for is really "for". The reason is backwards compatibility. Rust 2018 may have new keywords which can be used for symbol names in 2015 crates. So to be able to reference such symbols from a 2015 crate in a 2018 crate you need this new syntax.

I struggle with trying to understand how serverless is radically different in concepts than old-school cgi-bin.

In both scenarios, you don't necessarily own the servers.

Best practice dictates that your static content lives in a separate area rather than within your application (a different directory or alias, or in the serverless context: an S3 bucket)

You don't worry about patching upstream OSes or applications.

You front your application and static content with an "API gateway" (or in the cgi-bin case: Apache httpd w/mod_rewrite).

Your application's implementation is governed by whatever interpreters are available to you (#!/usr/bin/perl vs. #!/usr/bin/python vs. Node from a drop-down)

Any environment specifics are injected into your application's operating context (environment variables in the case of cgi-bin, or an argument to your entry function in the case of AWS Lambda).

The one radical difference I do recognize is the independent-ish execution environment: e.g. my CPAN modules, don't intermix with your CPAN modules.

It seems like the same paradigm, but with a new coat of paint.
Wow, this article is eye-opening. It's staggering the level of misconduct that's occurring at Google, especially relative to execs taking advantage of its lower-level employees. I wonder what the atmosphere is at other ultra-successful companies like Facebook, Netflix, Apple and Amazon.
I'm very much reminded of this image of a camera with a slew of lenses:

I keep thinking about house fly and spider eyes. I suspect their 3D view of the world is much better than we realize. They're basically Light Field Cameras.
Science fiction is equally replete, if not more, with technological tropes that decidedly do not exist.
When you drive to another state, why are you entitled to use roads without potholes? You didn't contribute to that.
The future use for this will be to allow calling methods/functions/macros from 2015 edition code in 2018, where some additional keywords have been reserved.

For example if you are using a crate with "dyn" as a method name then from 2015 you can call it via some_crate::dyn() but in 2018 you couldn't, since it's a keyword, but you could use some_crate::r#dyn(). That's the primary intent for this addition, though I believe some other use cases might be available as well.
If you're interested in learning more about this kind of thing, you want to look stuff related to "ullage".

Fun fact: it doesn't actually take that much time without forwards acceleration for ullage to become an issue. For example, the Saturn V included solid-fuel rockets on the interstage between the first and second stages to provide enough forwards acceleration for the second stage engines to ignite, even though the gap between the first stage engines shutting down and the second stage engines igniting wasn't more than several seconds [0, page 14]. You can see the exhaust from those motors on the outside of this video of the Apollo 4 first stage separation [1].

Another fun fact: instead of using smaller motors to provide acceleration between stages, (some?) Soviet rockets ignited upper-stage engines while the lower-stage engines were still firing ("hot-staging"). This is why some soviet rockets had a lattice (or lattices) between stages instead of solid metal.

Yet another fun fact: it doesn't take much acceleration to sufficiently settle the fuel for ignition. The Saturn V's S-IVB stage used its equivalent of its RCS system, which is normally used for attitude control, to settle its fuel prior to firing for trans-lunar injection.

If you're interested in installing KSP mods, RealFuels includes ullage simulation, so you'll need to have some method of providing acceleration to get larger rocket motors to ignite reliably.

Edit: Fix description of hot-staging for Soviet rockets. Some Soviet rockets hot-staged their third stage and not their second stage, making the description incorrect.
Eventually. Smart Cameras will soon remove unwanted objects from pictures so you no longer have to wait for the person(s) behind the subject to get out of the way.
I think two of the biggest things for me were:

Keeping a cascading daily log of tasks, thoughts, sketches. Every evening I assess what I completed and start the log for the next day with tasks I didn't finish from the previous day, and new things I want to tackle. It's helped me be productive and is a positive reinforcement loop for being productive.

Second is exercising in the morning, and stretching. It makes a world of difference in terms of health, flexibility, and compensates for stationary computer work for the rest of the day. Not to mention, it wakes me up and boost my mood.
As i mentioned above, talk to your doctor, there is no way to know what your specific situation requires ( also good advice is dont take advice from random people on the internet )
...and scene. Might as well just close the thread at this point.
This was my take also. It's a purely business decision: how much is it worth to not have this person work for a competitor?
Also dovetails with the statement that lower level employees are dismissed with a little to no severance. Less risk there.
except, of course, for all the retirement funds that disappeared.
Since this is a nerve disrupting chemical, could this lead to higher rates of alzheimer's and dementia? Any studies that looks at the correlation?

God help whoever received that. I won't comment on the perversions in private life, but i hope that was not sent to a coworker. Sending such a message to a coworker, especially if you are in a managerial position above them is… reprehensible to the point of permanent ejection from any respectable company.
At 100% humidity, sure. If it's raining, it takes no work to get wet.

I have a unit in my garage that can actually produce water at less than 10% relative humidity, moves a lot more air so it has more chances to actually capture the water, and smokes these other units under price/performance, particularly when tested in a desert. It's not a dehumidifier-based system. It's also cheaper to build.

That wasn't my experience with YC. We were rejected after an onsite meeting and got a personal email from a partner with clear reasons about their concerns. If you're referring to the pre-onsite stage though, it's not too surprising since they have a huge number of applicants to filter through. The resources needed to give everyone an individual, delicately worded response would be enormous.

Slight nitpick: it's not clear that this particular email was about a workplace relationship (or sent on company time/servers). It was an email included as evidence in a civil suit by his ex-wife:

> In a civil suit filed this month by Mr. Rubin’s ex-wife, Rie Rubin, she claimed he had multiple “ownership relationships” with other women during their marriage, paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to them. The couple were divorced in August. The suit included a screenshot of an August 2015 email...
Great decision, though it'd be better if it was embedded into law and couldn't go away down the line. At the least DRM and legal protection should be either/or, like secrets vs patents. Part of the return the public is supposed to see for granting legal protection to IP is that the IP is then made widely available (as well as eventually entering the public domain) and can be built upon for personal use, commentated upon, etc. If somebody wants to just try to keep something secret or protect it with technology maybe that's fine to try to do indefinitely, but they shouldn't be able to do that and then also get the full benefit of IP law that was originally created around non-technically restricted information.

This is also a good starting balance in that legal subsidies are removed but it doesn't require manufacturers to nerf their tech either, which is an area that needs to be navigated very carefully in law given the security implications and the risks of unintended consequences. I still wish "right to repair" was "right to have work" but this seems like an unalloyed Good Thing regardless. Maybe it can catalyze a bit of renewed fight against the worse parts of the DMCA and the like.
> Just because you're smart, doesn't mean that you don't harass people at work.

I think the point was "how could smart people be so stupid at managing this sort of situation in a way that won't blow up in their faces later down the line".
Expecting people to say things they don't believe strikes me as a bad idea.
Certainly true (I'm the author). As a photographer I look forward to more interesting techniques in the non-smartphone world too but ultimately I think what will advance them is also code, not a major advance in optics or sensor tech.

It's kind of a lame argument in a way (mine, that is) because code underlies just about everything these days. But I do think we've mostly tapped out the physical side of things, barring clever new constructions like the L16 and successfully wrangling hyper-sensitive, hyper-noisy sensors.

Anyway it's exciting no matter which one is advancing the art. Consumers are winning (as with a consolidation in mirrorless form factor, which is another piece I'm working on). Thanks for reading!
One thing I don't know if it is correct is that, on KSP, I've managed to deal with ullage using the overpowered reaction wheels (essentially using centripetal force). Pretty sure that would not work properly in real life, with real materials...
UK data watchdog fines Facebook max legal amount for Cambridge Analytica scandal
Did Redis, Elastic, Mongo et al pay for Linux development, or glibc, or their text editors, or compilers, or ...? Why should they get the financial benefit from building on top of others' donated work - and claim to be an equal participant in the FOSS ecosystem - and then be peeved with others expect the same in return?

If Mongo were a closed, proprietary product who wanted to be paid, sure. I happily pay for Apple stuff, for instance. But saying "hey, come use our FOSS project!" and then pivoting to "...as long as you pay up!" is extremely disingenuous.

Perhaps not! Thanks for running the numbers.
Starcraft is no fun between even somewhat unequal opponents. At least MOBAs give you a little bit of fun first before getting decimated, and proceed at a somewhat relaxed pace compared to the manically frenzied rush-fests that RTSs seem to be.

Ah. If that's the case, as you point out people might have already been using a leading underscore (although they shouldn't for idiomatic reasons), leading to ambiguity around

Yes, it's an interesting result of corporate mismanagement, that he gets to sign off (with board approval, but let's be honest about the control they have) on even more equity stake. However, he did have to give up the chairmanship, so overall he lost control of the company though in this dimension (portion of equity ownership) it is an interesting curiosity and contradiction.
By posting this comment, you're saying "I'm a genius, and you're all idiots, because I've figured out this obvious thing that has gone over all of your heads."

Now, you might actually mean that, but it might be more useful to explicitly spell it out in that case.

This bullshit article tries to paint a rosy picture of the economy by dismissing proportional median income gains between quintiles and instead argues that absolute income gains of individuals over time is enough evidence to suggest everything is actually great. This chart [1] seems to be the crux of their argument, as in - Surprise! Over 30 years poor people gained an average of almost $30k in income! I sure fucking hope someone who started at minimum wage in 1980 is making $30k more today.

And even though the median income of the top 1% went from $189,000 to $843,000 in that sime timeframe, that's not important because in our sample, the average income of those in the top QUINTILE actually FELL $7k. Guess you couldn't find any 1%ers for your study?

Bottom line - if the economy can't support a living wage for the working class, it's not doing all that great.

I understand that naming conflicts make things harder to search for, but I don't like the notion of a 'we' saying how things can be named.

Stuff like this annoys me. The workers in the steel mill aren't receiving the benefits of the 500% growth. it is largely going to the executives and not the workers.
In a field where we know nearly nothing about, putting any one of those above the other looks like a problem to me. A field should go from purely exploratory, to both, to mostly hypothesis driven as it matures, but no sooner (with fractal subdivisions where subfields go through all those stages too).

Thus either neurology is way more mature than I'm aware of (a real possibility, I'm far from knowledgeable on it) or we do have a problem.
I'm not sure what you are getting at. The mission of universities is to educate. Besides supporting their core mission, there could be ancillary benefits, such as promoting the university, testing new teaching methods, etc.

Which is quite hard to measure. Hence the need for credentialing, such as certifications, portfolios, etc, testing, prior experience, and yes, degrees. What's odd about a degree is that it's the learning coupled with the credentialing.

The whole thing he is explaining is just regression to the mean.

The author directly addresses this further down in the article. Regression to the mean is a possible explanation of the numbers he cites, but it doesn't refute the main point he's making, which is that some numbers suggest poor people capture more of the gains from economic growth than is widely thought.
Its not a business decision, it’s simply the culture of executive management. It’s because they can.

That will certainly be compounded by the demise of the estate tax. That said it’s not like intergenerational wealth is a new thing, wouldn’t that be the case way before the 70s?
