I think what rmk is suggesting is that this guy's job doesn't really sound like a job that deserves a VP title (especially if your previous manager wasn't a VP). So, the title of "VP" may have been included as an incentive to take the risk of joining a struggling company.

The idea is that even if the company fails, you can at least put "VP of ___" on your resume which will help place you at that level in future jobs. My dad went through a similar thing in the past - the company he had worked at for years at a middle-management level started going bankrupt. To keep him on board for as long as they could, they kept promoting him since everyone knew the company was dying and would leave without some incentive to stay. When the company eventually closed, he was able to find a new job at the level he was at after all the promotions. An easy (and lucky) way to advance your career very quickly.
You need to find space to copy the data to, too. If you allocate that space, your allocator needs to be constant time. I don’t know of any even somewhat competitive allocator with that property (a bumping one that gives up when it runs out of addresses would work, but isn’t competitive)

You could set aside a buffer to use, but you would potentially need one for every string in your program of which the compiler cannot prove that c_str won’t be called on it.

I think the only way to do that would be to use SSO and allocate a memory buffer, and make it possible to find that buffer ∞ O(1) from the ‘SSO’ version. That’s doable, but I wouldn’t call it an optimization anymore.

Also, doing that and keeping the operation constant time would mean you would have to spend an equivalent amount of time on non-short strings. That can be done, but not in a performant way.
The glut of silverware and fine china is even worse. Nobody uses that stuff, and it's high-maintenance. If you want some cheap, look on eBay.

"Antiques", as an industry, is a product of the 1960s. Before that, antiques were items over a century old, which was the US Customs definition. Anything less was just old. Selling stuff less than a century old as "antique" was a marketing move. Looks like that idea, from the era of the hula hoop, is over.
I am pretty much fan of Ace editor. It has worked perfectly over the years and have no nearby competitor when I compared back in 2015.

This was a project I made using ACE, "an online IDE (code, compile and run)" for competitive programmers: https://www.codechef.com/ide
All pianists/harpsichordists of her caliber (which would be a low number regardless of the era) were expected to do this from about the time of Bach until about the time of Mozart. The art of classical pianists improvising is coming back, but she stands out dramatically.
It's amazing how, despite all the investment Iron Mountain makes in securing facilities, arson is still something like 50% effective at destroying everything.
Why include the lookup table in the client code? If you're just mapping (CPU, resolution) to a model, why not just send that tuple to your analytics framework and look it up when displaying? Doing the lookup on the client code means every client has to download the table, and you have to blow away their cached copy whenever you come up with an improvement in the mapping. Limiting it to iDevices certainly makes this table smaller, but I feel like that's a starting off point only... real websites are going to want data about other platforms.
Failure of imagination.

You may scoff but imagination has a huge part of it.

If you commute by bike then it doesn't take that long before you wish there was some magic pathway that just carried you over those congested, road-blocked areas.

In my dreams of such magic pathways I usually imagine something a little wider than this orange route with a more definite median and more substantial fences at the side to keep the wind at bay, plus a surface that reduces rolling resistance.

The thing is that I keep these thoughts to myself as I struggle along making it alive over and around really oppressive multi-lane highways. I feel as if I am the lone crazy idiot on some of these commutes. And I am. 99% of my fellow road users are in cars, genuinely too scared to ride a bike - and I don't blame them. From that stuck-in-a-box, sitting-in-traffic viewpoint the dreams are different (more lanes, setting off earlier, less traffic) and there just isn't that imagination going on to have a super bike highway when getting on a bike is unimaginable.
For an alternative point of view, I highly recommend that people read http://www.truthcoin.info/blog/pow-cheapest/.

One issue that proof of stake proponents often ignore is that proof of stake has its own costs that are roughly equivalent to the dollar cost of PoW. The issue is that you need to lock up money for PoS in order to mine it. That has a cost as you are forgoing interest on lending that money to an actually productive enterprise that is creating value. The net result is that funding and investment becomes more scarce because private investment is "crowded out" by people simply staking their Ethereum. This is the same harm caused by too much government debt "crowding out" private investment.

Also, if the PoS staking rewards are too low, you are vulnerable to the exact same 51% attacks as PoW. So it's very unsure how this would significantly reduce fees unless you are also significantly increasing your vulnerability to attack. (Now, there are caveats about the fungibility and the ease of renting PoW miners vs renting PoS tokens, but many of the same principles apply).
Then look at Paris? It's not as good as Copenhagen, but way better than anything in the US. It's a little bit less dense than Manhattan by population, but by removing cars, and with the wider space in between the buildings you can have a more successful bike town.

Your condescension only seems to grow and you continue to get more incivil while crying out that you're getting attacked (elsewhere in this thread saying I'm attacking the messenger). I think I'll call it quits in trying to have a civil conversation with you since you only seem interested in spewing unsubstantiated pro-Chinese statements and attacking everyone in this thread that doesn't agree with you.

More about what they don’t do than do. Subtle ways that they reduce risk and increase quality. Making projects and systems more stable over time.
All things being equal, it would, indeed. However, the main driver of the high real estate prices is the artificial scarcity of locations. If you can remove that, you'll see prices collapse all over the country. To remove this scarcity, you need to fight NIMBY.

I am considering selling my camera.

To be fair my 500$ lens on a $1000 consistently takes better looking portraits (I know it is subjective) than a phone .. but my phone already takes good pictures and is always with me.

It also automatically updloads my pictures to google photos, which is both creepy and incredibly useful.

That's really too bad -- are there no other FBSD alternatives that are maintained?

Also -- I am going to get flamed for this -- but a GPL license would have forced Google to upstream their Capsicum changes wouldn't it -- whereas the BSD license doesn't have such a mandate.

Apples and oranges - many people have ‘room’ for an extra car or two, but most people don’t have an actual room for an antique dining table or space for a mahogany bureau in their home office.

Even if they had the space, it likely wouldn’t match any of the usable furniture, and that furniture is necessary. Cars don’t need to match...
This. Racket simply allows you to address any problem domain in an even more powerful manner than other Lisp's: simply by creating a truly independent parser and interpreter that still has nice interop with the rest of racket.

Not to mention, the metaprogramming facilities are the most advanced in the world.
I imagine that it will make it much easier to have face-to-face happy hours, dinners, lunches, and so on. It will also enable people lobbying on behalf of Amazon to do so closer to the mothership and include people from Amazon to further strengthen their abilities. Those types of conversations do have benefit for the people they represent and are why there's a huge lobbyist industry. Those face-to-face meetings and parties and eating together really can make things happen faster than trying to broker deals from across the country through phone or video conference. I presume this is one of the main reasons behind this decision.

Plus when trying to make a sale or negotiate a deal I'm sure it makes people on the other side feel better if someone says "And the people to support you or jump when you say how high are going to be 5 minutes away rather than 2 timezones away." It's almost at the point where subcontracting out is similar to just having all the work done in the same building you're already in. Seems like that would make people feel more comfortable.

Appeal to civility all you want (has no effect in the grand scheme), not doing the investigative leg work is an option you are free to choose.
An interesting idea I've been pondering is PoS' effect on wealth distribution and inequality. Its clear that this system exhibits the phenomenon of "wealth begetting wealth," which isn't that different from our current society. However, the real kicker here is that the more wealth you have on a PoS network the more control you have over the network. This is baked into the system by construction, whereas in our current framework of wealth this is merely a correlation which can be controlled via legislation.
Not if you are refurbishing them, and then reselling them as "certified used" for a profit. Then you have captured more of the secondary market while still helping to maintain your new prices.

It's like how brand names manufacture "competing" store brand products right next to their brand name stuff.
Also the recent Maps story about Apple and how they might be using human labour to trace satellite imagery to identify the buildings.

I also wonder how many companies are using Amazon Mechanical Turk to automate their processes.
Not functioning doesn’t make them harder to track. There are clumps if needles up there from an experiment decades ago that are still tracked.
It's not a meaningless distinction at all.

The collapse is the imbalanced system naturally correcting itself, and the humans who survive will go on to create more and the cycle repeats.

Extinction means no more cycles for humans.

Your view strikes me as a very my-generation me-centric attitude, focused on the sheer numbers of people living now vs. future generations.
Not bad, but the "Poor Kenyans" part sounds too belittling.
Yes, Ubuntu has it enabled by default - so Snaps are first class citizens on Ubuntu. I think the upcoming release of Debian may also have AppArmor by default.
My old manager works on the team, just as an IC doing the same work as the rest of us. I tried talking to him a few times, but he is pretty distant now.

Ah, OK. I thought you meant he quit. In that case, it's hard to say. I'd still advice you to quit and find a job somewhere else, and maybe see if you can convince your old manager to jump ship as well. Maybe see if you can round up a couple more team-members and pitch yourselves as a ready-built team-for-hire.
Retirement implies a sort of finality that I think can only be present in older (or young but disabled) individuals that can no longer meaningfully work.

I don't think a 30 year old can 'retire'. From a specific field (e.g. professional football)? Sure.

In general? Money isn't the thing that makes successful people work.

It's really hard to spend 50 years on pure leisure. I can't think of any examples.

1. This really has been obvious since the start.

2. After Google acquired the Captcha service they initially used it for Google Maps where you was always asked to pick street numbers and store names. Only recently has it pivoted to Waymo use cases.
I personally think we should make a plentyfold of datastructures respresenting strings. Sure, I want a geenric fits-all structure to represent text as provided in many libraries and frameworks, such as .NET's String class. However, I have many situations where using that same String class is pure overkill and prone to security bugs. For instance, I want a DigitsOnlyString, representing only the numbers [0-9]. But I also want a NumbersOnlyString, representing the digits [0-9] but also all other number characters there are in Unicode. The same for e.g. emoji's, latin characters ([azAZ]), extended latin ([azAZ], plus a subset of diacritics) Chinese characters, and I can go on for quite some more examples (Password anyone? Don't allow a lot of Unicode edgecases). These classes will have the benefit of really efficient encoding in bits, being more secure, more clarity to programmers and most important of all clear reasoning.
I bet 80% of String uses can be moved to a more constrained type.

>...ultimately have hurt those of us in the later generations more than they've helped us.

That seems to be saying the things they have done have made the world a worse place to live in.
It could also be the perspective that you can really only try to control your own lot in life. Is it not possible that by focusing on my own welfare, I am more productive and happier? And that by trying to float other boats, I am distracted and less happy?

I don't subscribe to the OPs opinion, necessarily, just pointing out a situation where it might be better to just take care of yourself.
Then perhaps those agencies could create their own journals which are open access and then publish everything through those? That'd be an easy way, without having to pay for the open-access?
Montreal, Ottawa, Calgary and Edmonton. All pretty nice cities, all are decent sized, fairly affordable and have jobs.

The US does have both the highest incarceration rate and actual number of prisoners in the world.

In big old houses many of the formal rooms were hardly used - or that’s what I’ve been led to believe. Formal dining and sitting rooms were for special occasions and the kitchen was where people ate otherwise. Even the front door was rarely used. Villa/bungalow design (these count as old where I am) clearly delineate formal and informal areas, with the back of the house for day to day living.
It would be interesting to compare the study to historic usage as it may be less of a change than first glance would show.
This looks like a useful guide.

Nautilus is worthy of your support. The Wikipedia article enumerates its successes and some of its failings,, for example, not paying authors in a timely way. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautilus_(science_magazine).
Personally, I think there is a need for a journal like Nautilus and therefore subscribe. Paid subscriptions and donations are needed to provide the economic base to pay for quality authors.
The difference is that there exists no proof that PoS is even possible.

It exists purely as a rhetorical tool, used to attack the energy consumption of PoW.
Firefox OS is now known as Kai OS, its available on devices like the nokia banana phone. I've still got a Mozilla Flame developer handset and it all runs surprisingly smoothly.

What about Racket's ability for arbitrary languages via #lang, not just macros? Are there any plans for this?

It's really nice to be able to do #lang c and just write C that is FFI'd into racket so you can avoid using an external toolchain to compile.
Maybe everyone should vote by mail, which currently is done by paper ballot.

The current voting machines have problems, and I'd rather use paper ballots today, but let's not make the mistake of thinking that paper ballots are the ideal long-term solution. Remember "hanging chads" and voter confusion caused by the ballot layout in Florida back in 2000?
I laughed, likely too hard, at this. We’ve got three kids under 6 and our current living room furniture does in fact allow crumbs to fall through and I was praising them just yesterday for that accidental function.

They’re a pretty nice leather love seat and couch we purchased new about 8 years ago. The leather has been a god send for spills and no stains, etc.

Unfortunately our roomba ALWAYS gets stuck on them. If we get one full run a week it’s a minor miracle. So on this very day I finally hit the garage, pulled out the welder and grinder and am giving my couch and loveseat a 1” lift.
Just to be clear... paranoia is an irrational fear that people are out to get you. If you are actually being spied on by someone (you are) then that word doesn't apply since the fear of that spying is 100% rational.
Those developers ain't worth their salt.
Perl 6 has invented its own normalisation called NFG which normalises at the grapheme level by creating synthetic code points for multi-char graphemes where necessary. This vastly simplifies operations on Unicode strings and gives semantics that are intuitive - producing results you would expect from the visual appearance of a string.
> That’s not true.

Honestly, I think everything you said supports my point.

Now, maybe you don't tell anyone that you're more organic than the organic pope, but that makes you an extreme exception, not the rule.
That's definitely part of the problem, and would inhibit laws since the publishers know they'd get the free money. Perhaps the government could also regulate the publishers and say they can't charge any more for open access than they can for subscription fees?

Or, perhaps the different agencies can create their own journals for their funded projects and let the research appear in them? Basically, create new reputable journals precisely for open access? Or make it where a paper has to be submitted to a "prestigious" one and an open access one a year or so later (i.e. author keeps copyright, period), which would hopefully build up the prestige of them?

I'm not sure the solution, just trying to think of ideas.

I have no idea if it's legal or not and I could not care less. There is no obligation to obey the law. The law is wrong when it requires that ISPs block websites and I hope Bahnhof and other ISPs will do everything in their power to resist it.

I will choose the IPS that resist censorship and government spying the most even if it means I will have to pay extra. I know that these blocks are trivial to circumvent but I think the principal is very important.
