> I never heard anything about incompetence in your description.

I was rushing trying to explain two years in a few words. You might not know what happened is such long span. To give you some ideas of why I said incompetence:

- my colleague doesn't know yet how our infra works

- he has no clue of the application architecture has he still make unforgettable mistakes after two years

- in any architectural meeting where we have to discuss about something he got missed, and, when he's there, he will suggest an open source tool to do so even when it doesn't fit our needs

- in any meeting when somebody ask something to him, the first answer would be "just go in google and search for a library to do x, z, y" even when the question is very architectural specific and domain specific

- even after we implement something he still want to find an open source or SaaS to use for no reason, not understanding that we have a lot of integration cost that he doesn't even understand

- he only had front-end (only in small-sized companies) experience and less than 6 years of total experience when he was hired (he joined right after me, I was not the interviewer) and he never lead a team before.

I worker in multiple context during my career; mainly enterprise and consultancy and I had team leading experience before the role.
Yes, but I live in a country which uses the metric system.
It's still clickbait, dear The Register employee.
That’s the thing some people don’t get about non-profits - the employees and owners can certainly profit. An individual is in question here, not whatever entity he formed or was working for.

Also, non-profit just refers to the structure of the corporation for tax purposes. It’s also not a synonym for charity.
Maybe, more likely I would have halved my amount each time I sold. Which is what I did with my cheap ETH.

Awesome article. Can't help but think of South Park's infamous WoW episode.
One has to be extra careful with distinguishing correlation from causation.

For anyone in top of politics they are likely going to be connected to people who are top in either corporations or organisations.

Theresa May isn't a dictator and can't just decide what she wants to without being in agreement with the rest of her politicians.

Insinuating that there is some causational relationship here is just as much part of the problem.

That said, there definitely are cases where the relationship seems very suspicious, but it's not a rule and I wish people would be more careful to prove their claims rather than just putting them out there. But maybe I am missing something here.

I think you need to distinguish between AGI and the singularity.

We know that nothing in physics prevents AGI, because humans exist. And AGI itself, even if it isn't entirely runaway, could pose a challenge. (I'd argue that corporations are a form of AGI that is already a major challenge for our societies.)

The singularity as described by its acolytes, on the other hand, runs into the kind of physical limits you describe. Personally, I don't think it'll happen, and it's more likely that the period we're living in today will at some point in the future be called the singularity.
Probably not, due to the low fidelity of any data from this. "real" particle detectors can trace the decay chain, momentum changes, precise energy levels, etc. Processor cache flips etc can only say "a particle with energy >= X was here", which isn't super useful given the relative frequency of occurrence.
Don't look at them as providing advice. Look at them as providing these two things:

* They provide assurance against bad decisions. Every exec wants to have someone to point at when a few millions were wasted. Don't get me wrong here. The job of a higher-up exec probably implies wasting a few millions every now and then by taking the best course in adverse circumstances.

* They provide a neutral judge for execs surrounded by warring factions - and they don't even have to be internal. At our company I see how A is a sane option, but B is used by a competitor. Even if said competitor bleeds money as a result, we regularly hire the same contractors, and they love reusing their investment and see you bleed money (to them) by giving you also B. What do you do while they whisper in the ear of your boss?

When companies get big enough to become vulnerable to sociological dysfunctionality, Gartner can help a lot. Or make things much worse.

My own experiments. I have recently bought a new PC with an i5-7600 and my own pascal parser, written in straightforward unoptimized C, parses about 2M lines of code per second on a single thread.

Also I'm following Jonathan Blow's streams (Jai language). With his own trivial x64 backend he has/had a very real compilation speed of 80K lines/s, and only the parser was parallelized. I think he indends to improve that to 800K lines/s. Note that his language is quite a bit more work to compile than a basic C-like language (which is about as easy as you can get if you discount the parsing model).
I've got to say, I've got a lot less sympathy for Xu than most people in this thread seem to have. Firstly, what he did was absolutely unacceptable, he didn't just copy stuff, he went out of his way to break security procedures at the company he worked at to steal other people's hard work. He then literally fled the country knowing exactly what he was doing. He trafficked in stolen goods handing the IP to his family in China where he knew that the company would never get it back. He got his family to lie in court about the entire thing. He still wont admit what he stole and we all know that the second he goes free he can travel to China and sell the stolen IP. Unfortunately for Xu, because his family lied in court about destroying the IP and because he is from China where we all know any chance of enforcing any contracts is nil, any return to China is basically a sign off allowing him to profit from his stolen IP. So again, I perfectly understand why G-Research wants to stop him, every extra month in prison is another month where he can't hand over their IP to competitors.

I'm sorry but that is a whole head of red flags. Meanwhile, people seem to have a problem with G-Research in what they did to track him down. They tried to stop him travelling - seems pretty reasonable since he fled the country. They tried to stop him leaving HK - seems pretty reasonable since he tried to leave and succeeded in smuggling IP worth millions into mainland china. They hired PIs to watch his family - seems pretty reasonable since they actually DID participate in the crime and lie about it!

I feel sorry for the guy but this really does seem like an example of someone doing pretty much the worst thing they can do in a situation and doing it to the most powerful person they could.
Reminds me of ads I see when I watch Formula1 on UK Sky television, where a company uses the oxymoronic slogan "We bet responsibly, at Bet365!".

It's amazing to see the length these companies will go through to present their product as just an innocent entertainment community where responsibility and morals are held in high esteem, and at the same time using every possible psychological trick in the book to hook their users.
In which case you'd blacklist the site. You'd pay for the first article (you're paying right now through your consumption of brainwashing), but you wouldn't fall for that twice.
He admitted writing code to de-obfuscate the work of his coworkers and copying it. He gave several electronic devices including computers to his parents as he was being hunted by authorities. He made up ridiculous stories about how the devices were destroyed (ex: one was cremated with his relative) and his parents were caught in court lying about throwing the computers in a river when the company has them under surveillance 24x7.

Nobody likes being lied to repeatedly, especially courts.

I believe it is about price. Even relatively well off demographic here seems to think 20 bucks a month enough to get top 10 newspapers and magazines. This number is simply unworkable for high quality newspapers. Just like some people are dreaming about an aggregate streaming service which would be 20-30 dollars a month and can cover Netflix, Disney and myriad others.

Internet has given power to people to issue veiled threats that one has to give content to users at price they deem sufficient else users would simply pirate and pay nothing.

It is interesting to use fork() to snapshot application state. It seems so high-level and powerful (Compared to other C/POSIX level stuff - so I'm not comparing it to Scheme/Lisp/"your favorite high/low level environment" here!). We may collect some other examples here - just for fun:

- I know that Redis does this (RDB snaphots) too, while the child process saves the actual snapshot, the parent can operate continously relying on the system provided copy on write mechanism

- I have also found this: https://github.com/thomasballinger/rlundo - It overwrites readline library to get undo function in any REPL using it

Other examples?
> That "magic carpet" ride does come at a price but it is not monetary: the softer the tyre, the more resistance and with that the slower the ride.

Unless you're riding on a velodrome, pumping your tyres up to 120+psi doesn't decrease rolling resistance, infact the the opposite is true. If the tyre can deform around small bumps it rolls much more easily. This is why very expensive and fast tyres have casings with a high thread count (sometimes even made of silk) so they are more supple.
The Decline and Fall of the Zuckerberg Empire
Has I said in another comment it was made out of request by the manager and director. They asked us to clean the code since we were experiencing issues due the volume. Without the changes that we were asked for today the company could not even be able to sell their product online.
4. Or they haven't developed yet, or, they died out 50,000 years ago.

The Universe is a big place. It's taken us billions of years to reach this point where we're on the brink of becoming a multi-planterary species, and frankly, I'm still not 100% convinced we'll make it.

Depending on how much life there is in the Universe, and how effective The Great Filter is, the amount of civilizations reaching an advanced stage may simply be so low that the odds of two of them being within communication range of each other, while being at a suitable tech level, may be very low.
True enough, but the more magic your carpet is, the more likely you are to get flats.
Thank you for sharing that. I hope that you continue to share this story.

I think you can still do good with the situation by doing exactly what you're doing now: talk to other software engineers about this often overlooked duty. Talk to young engineers about the need to examine the ethical implications of the products they are making. These stories of shame are something we need to share with each other, to stress the importance of thinking about the consequences and intent of what we make.

I remember first coming into software development, creating software was a rush. I was a junkie, getting high on solving problems and working against tight deadlines. This is a common experience I've seen in many new software engineers: but when you're getting high off of those factors, it's easy to not even realize that you have to be asking yourself questions about what you're making. Stories like yours can be a bucket of cold water, something that helps to wake people up to the other obligations that are part of our duties as software engineers.

Intro to Data Science for Managers [Mindmap]
C parsing is rather slow due to the preprocessor (also: huuuge include files) and due to context-dependent syntax (need symbol table). And compiling itself need not be slow, but the popular compilers are not exactly super fast even with -O0. LLVM in particular has a reputation of being somewhat bloated. And finally, due to common practice of using a standard object file format, which is slow to link (at least with common tools), the whole build experience is not exactly blazingly fast.

With clang/gcc/msvc, I think I'm more in the ballpark of 3K-30K lines/sec (-O0, 100-1000 lines/file, not counting basic std* includes).

Think about: (a) the number of wounds, (b) the age of the child and (c) that they are already ill. Also consider the very serious consequences (death). That increase in the hazard and the potential for serious illness is what makes this a real risk.

In the UK we don't find it economic to vaccinate the whole population for chickenpox but if it's an option to pay for it then it would be sensible.
Not sure about SML but its close cousin OCaml (which I learned after SML) is used a lot in industry by some big names:

* Facebook - OCaml for Hack, Reason, Flow - static analysis and compilers

* Jane Street - heavy user for their entire backend

* Bloomberg

* Citrix

etc https://ocaml.org/learn/companies.html

Haskell is also closely related but different as it has lazy evaluation unlike SML

https://wiki.haskell.org/Haskell_in_industry

I was taught SML as a first year CS student to learn the basics of programming (although I had already used C-like languages). ML stands for Meta Language - it was originally designed and used to prove theorems. That's why SML itself tends to be quite an academic thing to this day.

Perhaps you mean status signal? I don’t think having a bike is rare enough in Europe to be considered virtue signaling anymore.
hahaha, brilliant — that's possibly the kindest accusation I've had levelled at me this year! Thank you.

As for your earnest insistence — I'd perhaps loosen literality a touch ;)
I wish someone invented and actually sold tires which can't go flat. I don't mind if it makes the bike somewhat harder to ride. For short-distance trips (intra-city) this should be no problem, and could perhaps even save me a visit to the gym.
> And thankfully there's little cause for "NLP" ambiguity these days.

Is there not? When I Google "NLP" the first results are for "Neuro-Linguistic Programming", which I assume is NOT the definition you'd consider the important one. The fact that it also has "programming" in the name and has to do with "linguistics" does not make things easier.

Sure but does it really happen that often, whenever there are regularities usually there's some variation that makes it useless.

I said trains, not subways. I said "majority of miles" not "to the store". The tax is the same on goods shipped by other methods, so you can't count it as somehow balancing out the economic distortions caused by subsidizing trucking infrastructure.

The problem is that non-truck solutions cost more relatively due to government intervention, messing up the market's ability to find more optimal solutions. This one is simple, it doesn't even require you to think about carbon taxes to do the math. It's direct costs, subsidies to a certain technology. Don't pick winners and losers, create an environment where capitalism can function and find the actual best solutions.

Charge trucks for damage they directly cause to roads. Simple.

Ask HN: Do you use digital ink to create handwritten notes? Why or why not?
I knew one guy who used C++ but hated STL and most of standard library. He usually implemented data structures in-place as he need them (linked list, growable array, etc). While it seems strange to reimplement similar data structure over and over again, it worked for him. And one particularly wonderful thing was how fast his projects compiled. He had one project with few libraries, around 100k lines and it compiled very fast, something like second from the scratch and it was 10 years ago.
I review a fair amount of resumes and I wouldn’t give it a second thought if I saw that. I’d probably assume it was a religious requirement of some sort before I even considered other possibilities.

That's because symbolic form can be interpeted in many ways, so it's easy post-factum to interpet them in a way that predicts the future :)
This is not only about advertising, it's about any service that trasfers consent to another one. There is a full thread about micro payments here, but they could solve only some cases. There are plenty of legitimate third-party services added to web sites (example: customer service) that according to this ruling (if I understood it well) should verify consent on their own. This could be possible or not, it depends on the nature of the service.
Education, primarily * . It is the simplest in the family that includes Rust, Haskell, Scala, OCaml, Swift, F#, Elm, etc. So it makes an excellent environment for learning the foundational concepts of this family. In particular, you can find your ground first before you're forced to reckon with implicits (Scala) type classes/traits (Haskell, Rust, Scala), macros (Rust), etc.

I do some sporadic, long-term work on Ponyo [0] to provide a base for exploration. I've also got a WIP "ebook" [1] on Standard ML.

* Although it's also used for prototyping. A lot of Google and Facebook projects were prototyped in SML or OCaml such as React, Reason, certain WASM components, etc.

It was required by our ex-manager and director to do so. As we were re-inventing the wheel in any application. If you're a fully hands-on manager you should understand the value of having strong common components that can be plugged in an out.

If you don't think so, just use a plain language without any framework, module, library or third party component and let's see who target the release date first.
