If you want to target Photoshop userbase, you absolutely must implement 16-bit editing and the ability to open RAW camera files.

You're implying that there's only one type of Photoshop user. That's not true. Lots of Photoshop users never touch 16-bit or Raw files.

From a mathematical perspective it's pretty silly to claim your vote doesn't matter just because it's not the tie breaking vote. You should give this a read: https://www.skishore.me/voting.html.

Frankly this viewpoint has always puzzled me. Your specific claim that a vote almost certainly doesn't matter because elections don't come down to a single vote seems...unsupported, to put it politely. It might be more intuitively attractive to say your vote doesn't matter if you're not in a swing election, but it's not rigorously defensible. It's incorrect.

It's like saying 4 and 5 are the same thing because they're both significantly smaller than 100,000. No, they're materially different quantities. If more people accepted this straightforward and uncontroversial truth - and acted on it - then more change might actually be effected. Instead this becomes a self-fulfilling and self-defeating prophecy with no rational basis. It's lazy cynicism, to put it bluntly.
Yes, the points in the Quora-link are valid. Also something everyone with an extreme political position is using to dismiss the official unemployment rate.

That bein said, this is a terrible thing to do to people if you ask me. And maybe not doing it and having higher unemployment would be more humane. But I'm no eypeet, just a guy with an opinion.

Also, out of experience, in Germany you are not officially unemployed if you are in a training program sponsored by your oocal unemployment agency. Also a nice way to optimize your numbers. And the explanation why there is a whole industry built around just these trainings.

When Germany introduced all these thing back in the early 2000s, it was tough. Germany was called the sick man of Europe. Maybe, these initiatives, Agenda 2010 it was called, were not totally wrong. Downside was the creation of whole class of people that aee basically stuck at the lower ranks of the social ladder. So, good for the economy, yes. Good for the country maybe. Good for society, I would say no.
Many Japanese companies could make so much money if they'd figure out the international markets.
I think what the theory embodied cognition tries to point out is that strong AI is not this cognitive "thing" that can be transferred from container to container. Imagine that we discovered that Dolphins were just as smart as us and also imagine aliens discovered us, embodied cognition says that the cognitive apparatuses in each of these and us is radically different because brains are always wired up to bodies.

It's not that AI needs to be embodied (computation and cognition are always housed in something), it's that what the housing is will affect the AI. In other words, don't think that strong AI means "thinking like a human" because that AI won't have a human body.

At least that my take on it.
I assure you that I have never confused the two. :)

Venture investment at this level of sophistication typically involves the purchase of equity in a company with the general expectation that the value of the investment will increase over time, as valued by other actors in the market. However, at this stage there are little to no financial or legal negative repercussions for a company failing to meet this expectation as long as they've acted ethically. (I mean, outside of the value of equity going to zero and having to shut down the company.)

There are forms of investment, or vehicles of financing - venture debt and specific types of convertible notes - that have the expectation of repayment given a timeframe, but they're not typically what we're talking about when we talk about modern venture investment and straightforward equity transactions (like a Series A here).

In fact, YC explicitly invented the SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) as a way to prevent "bad actor" investors from asking for returns from convertible notes ("repayment") and sinking companies early. The unwritten rule in venture investing in SV was literally, "don't ask for your money back," some Angels were screwing companies over by doing exactly that, so the SAFE codified protection against it into a low-friction investment vehicle.

tl;dr: Investment is not constraint-free, but there is certainly not an expectation of "repayment." It might seem a little semantic (versus, say, "generating returns") but it's important people understand the difference between equity transactions and debt - the constraints exist but they differ and, as such, incentivize behavior, growth and spend differently as well.
This is a pretty cool tool for a one person team.
one potential area of innovation for toilets is in hospitals or pharmacies where people could defecate/urinate in a "smart toilet" which chemically analyzes the waste matter and sends results to a central lab for reporting.

when technology gets cheap enough, these smart toilets could then move from healthcare businesses into the home, analyzing waste matter on a daily basis to yield health insights.
I made something almost exactly like this: https://simulacra.js.org/

This actually uses object getters/setters, has full support for arrays, and nested arrays of objects. There is no API beyond the initial binding, everything beyond that is just mutations on an object.
In Norway, they solved the problem by actually merging the two organizations. In 1978.
At lot of Linux VPN creates network interfaces (tap/tun), and support namespacing them - you can do the same thing with OpenVPN .

The really nice thing is the full in-kernel implementation, and the lack of configurability.
Sure, you're not going to get them to do any of those things. You would still need to get them to vote in line with these principles. The question is also: how do you convince those who are prepared to take action to do so?

Well done to the guy. What an interesting time, when a person can spend 5 hours per day for 3 years creating a product that has 1.5M visitors per month, but makes just about enough money from it to not be poor. Hopefully he can think of a better monetization scheme.
The mass of the atmosphere is same as mass of 10m layer of water (because they both create 1 atm hydrostatic pressure). Obviously, the crust is much thicker than 10m, also much denser than 1000kg/m^3.
>now people will wait for the performance to improve. In the meantime, the userbase has left for Ruby or Python or something else.

Performance and Python aren't exactly related (I know you can call into C code with numpy etc., but still Python itself and idiomatic code in it is often super slow).
As soon as I read the phrase "ASLR bypass", I knew this would be devastating.

That's what I thought. And yet, object-oriented programming is quite common in many Lisps.
I agree with you that I find the language design of Perl horrible. But I wouldn't call it useless, there's still plenty of Perl (5) jobs around. I just wouldn't go anywhere near that. But that's a personal choice.
Let's focus on the 'cooolest thing' questions as the others are indeed useless in an interview. The whole point of this question is to see if you are excited about something you did and if this excitement resonates with the interviewer/the company. At this point you're trying to see if you and the job match in any way. If your excitement doesn't match expectations, then eventually you might not end up happy with the job. By all means, don't answer what your think they want to hear, but what you really find cool.
1 - automatically save a version history and completely remove the need to think ‘have I saved this’. Same goes for all editors.
On Unix you typically fork as a part of initializing your application in order to demonize. Or when you are executing another program so a fork/exec.

The first one isn't needed in a unikernel. You are already demonized when you boot up.

The second use is not available to unikernel applications. The limitation of a single application per vm applies.
Depends on how you are doing it. If the solar is also your roof surface it isn't an extra job, it is just a materials choice.

edit - also, given how much risk there is in the prep and teardown for scaffolding, combining roof jobs will generally reduce the overall risk a lot, even if you can't combine tasks any further than that.
Whats the CVE ? [1]

Next Critical Patch Updates by Oracle is scheduled at 15 January 2019. [2]

I see this bug exists at least in part in the open-source parts of VirtualBox. [3] Could it be fixed there?

Could that (that part being opensource) also be reason for the researcher not being granted the bug's bounty?

Software not made for profit is very often no more secure.

The problem is not profit, it's that these security issues don't really lower it enough. I've seen the profit motive working very well in a couple of companies when the threat of lowering them (in the form of large fines) appeared thanks to the GDPR.

> Why would the government need to ban the competition if its so good at providing insurance?

In no country ever is private healthcare and competition banned. There is a free* hospital across the street from me and I have private healthcare.

It’s about acknowledging that a) it is cheaper for everyone if people with no money go to the doctor early, because a GP is 1k% less expensive to society than a hospital bed runout. This is one of the reasons healthcare in single payer countries is ~50% per capita.

B) people without money don’t deserve to die because they are poor and should have basic treatments, even when it is their own fault they are poor and make bad decisions.

* I pay tax which pays for the hospital
> If I may ask: Do you run a business where you have to deal with filing VAT on a regular basis? I'm asking because this misconception that businesses don't have to pay VAT is something that I've held myself, obviously because I didn't knew back then what I was talking about.

I very much do, I file quarterly and deal both domestically, intra-EU with reverse charge and extra-EU which is VAT exempt.

You're conflating the fact that you're filing VAT reports and forwarding VAT money to the state with the fact that you're paying VAT. These are two different things.

Again, do you pay employees? Do you retain some money from their wages and forward that to the state as a down payment on their income taxes[0]? Would you say that personal income tax is a tax on companies?

[0] I think this is usual in Europe; it surely is how it works in Italy
And relatively few people die annually as a direct consequence of nuclear catastrophes too.

The directly attributable number of deaths from nuclear plant catastrophes is <100 worldwide over the history of nuclear power plants.

The vast majority of projected reduced number of life-years from Chernobyl (a number that's keeps regularly being adjusted down) is down to increased risks of cancer that have turned out to be overblown, but will certainly end up having contributed the majority of deaths.
I don't think you need to design your own language to criticize another. I think Rust and F# are great language designs. I think Perl (5) and JavaScript are terrible. Python is somewhere in between (I'd like the typing system to be optional but actually checked, I think the module system is broken, the only reason I use it is because of very good libraries). TypeScript makes JavaScript usable actually enjoyable.

Just by using a language you will find a lot of design choices that you either like or don't. There's no reason that you need to design a language to criticize the choices made in a a language.

BJJ is the best fighting style that fits the rules of MMA. Change the rules a bit and a different style will work better.
I want to first point out that the PR article linked is a years-old advertisement trying to convince anglophones to buy $600 washlets.

But more than just point out its commercial intent, I want to discuss a little about the topic of why Japan has washlets.

A washlet is a combination of a toilet and a bidet -- sometimes with other added features, but this is the core of it. Japan, specially overpopulated urban Japan, has a lack of living space. Given how cramped the apartments and houses in, for example, Tokyo can be, it makes sense to combine a toilet and a bidet to save space.

In Japan, it's sometimes cheaper to buy a $600 toilet + bidet combo than to pay for the extra space to install a separate bidet. Or sometimes the bathroom is so tiny that they have no other choice.

The US and Europe generally doesn't have this problem. That's why we're not all using washlets. Because we can just install a separate toilet and bidet for a cheaper price.

And if you want a heated seat, you can get a toilet with that for much cheaper than a $600 washlet.
Blindly assuming?

Sounds pretty first hand to me.
Look kids, that’s how not to do statistical analysis.
Interesting project. It works reasonably well and should be fine for light editing. It's comparable to other photoshop clones I've seen. It has a lot of the core features of photoshop and copies its UX. Of course Photoshop has more features, is probably a bit faster with certain things, and probably has some algorithmic edges. Nevertheless, impressive effort.

I'm guessing a lot of oss photography libraries and tools may be ported to wasm eventually. SIMD and threading are going to be two big enablers for this. That's also something that may benefit this project. T

The right to it even if you are mentally ill, broke, bad at decision making or all of the above.

My point is definitely that you have an obligation to provide society funding for healthcare even if they don’t pay. Just like the military will defend them even if they don’t pay, or a firefighter will put out their house.
And what I'm saying is a outhouse /is/ a huge innovation to many places in Western Africa and India. It's largely a cultural problem like rampant littering or pollution. One guy digging an outhouse and shitting in it won't make any more difference than a single person recycling. But if enough people do it they will see a huge improvement in public health and infant mortality.
The number of system calls says close to nothing of the actual API surface present here. It's a poor measure. What actually matters is: what can I run?

That said, 42 is not enough to run a lot of applications.

It'll be interesting to get to the point where they can run a language's runtime or unit tests.

Take it from someone who worked on gVisor: this is gonna take a long time, and eventually you'll end up with a system that's just Linux. You'll end up either being bug-for-bug compatible, which means bringing in loads of compatibility code and architecting your kernel just like Linux, or you'll end up having to change applications (and then you're not all that compatible anymore).

Neither are fun or sustainable compatibility stories. You'd probably actually get Linux apps to work on a random OS faster & nicer by porting gVisor.

> Moreover, since implementing a system call is typically pretty simple [...]

You're in for a fun ride, folks.

While it's a cool project it cannot be compared to Sheets Query as long as Excel doesn't implement array expanding formulas (out-puting an array from a single cell formula).

I feel for them. But with coal many more would have died from pollution. With more dams the contribution to climate change (gas released from rotting vegetation) would damage the planet, millions would be driven from their homes, and the risks of dam failures would keep being driven up and over time likely cause more deaths (as it has in the past). With more rooftop solar, more people would kill themselves in installation accidents.

It's not a situation where shutting down nuclear just magically prevents deaths, because the demand for power is still there. It is a matter of shifting the risks elsewhere. And the numbers are clear that nuclear is far safer than most of the alternatives (most - it's not clear for example if that'd be the case for larger solar installations; it's rooftop installations that seems to be the biggest problem with solar).

This doesn't mean we should uncritically build a ton of nuclear plants, but e.g. delaying the decommissioning of coal plants to take nuclear plants offline, the way Germany did, is tantamount to mass murder given what we know of the relative risks.
Why dont they have some sort of diagram or picture showing what a Japanese toilet is?

I mean I get that its a kind of Bidet but what makes it a "Japanese" toilet in particular?
I love a comment in the Reddit post where a user asks if he takes feature requests and proposes one (triple click on text to select it). The guy, shortly after, answers saying that it's a good idea, and that he just implemented it.

I don't love it because of the attitude of the developer (which is great too), I love that it reminds me how fast it is to solo develop something and how much more complicated it gets when a team grows.

(We are a small team of 15 devs in my company and it's already super complicated to be that efficient)

Well, tbh, if it's simply a choice of which key to map to the currently-Caps Lock key then Escape should be the winner even if exiling Caps Lock to the Touch Bar would cause significant annoyance to some heavy users.

However, while users are mostly just faced with perhaps-hard choices about how to remap the given keys, the keyboard manufacturer and integrator Apple had many other options. Caps Lock is currently 2U wide on both ISO and ANSI layouts https://i.ytimg.com/vi/3tJagPz-xIw/maxresdefault.jpg , so it could fairly comfortably be split into a 1U Esc and Caps Lock. You could even give Escape the outside position: that's not a big reach, just the mirror-image of the ISO English # key and more convenient than Esc's existing position in both ANSI and ISO, and there's an arguable case for not putting Esc on too much of a hair-trigger position near the home row anyway. Alternatively you could carve a 1U key out from the right of the right Shift, which is pretty uselessly overlong on both ISO and ANSI.
I like Larry Wall solutions. Why just throw away a perfectly working implementation when people are still using it and maintainers are still motivated to work on it? Why not do a new spec which improves on the old one and if it's succesful people will switch anyway. It allows the language to evolve while it also doesn't force users into the new thing against their will. None of that "Python 2.7 is going to be EOL in 1/1/2020".
