I agree with you and I have done this, but I mentioned it because I don't think most people have. That said, I think the clutter in your home is deeper than the actual physical clutter. Even if you clear all of the physical clutter, you still have what I call "associative" clutter. Every experience (good and bad) that you've had in your home adds to this mental clutter. I still think it's important to get out of your home and go to a simple place frequently, nature would probably be a good option too.

The argument is not that because Fortran has multidimensional arrays it is faster, it is that because Fortran has multidimensional arrays it can and will often be faster in most cases for free.

Obviously an extremely optimised library such as BLAS will run just about as fast in C and Fortran. For a good majority of code out there however people just don't want to put in the effort to carefully optimise array layouts. The feature moves the responsibility of optimisation to the compiler which can in many cases do a better job than a normal programmer with reasonable assurances that the optimisations will not introduce bugs and / or side effects into the code.

What I would like to see is “satellite as a service” for satellites to have rentable space for uploading code, and accessing their capabilities in a colocated way or full instance only (without breaking them... you’d need to pay to cover the insurance too).

It’s far cheaper to send bits to space than actual matter on a rocket.

It would also promote re-use of satellites and mitigate Kessler syndrome (unless induced demand makes it worse).

Going to disagree with you on point 2. Taxes for businesses are taxes on profit not income. If you're not making a profit, like most startups, you don't pay taxes. It's a very simple concept that most people simply don't understand, presumably because taxation of individuals is based on (gross) income. California is expensive--but factoring in the size of the available market, labor pool, logistics, and other resources, it's a far better choice than the Midwest or the South.
The article and all the comments seem to assume work and creative projects are mutual exclusive, that we have to find a balance.

I'd say that it requires good design sense: a designer should be able to avoid the trap of typical workflows and see which features and procedures would actually help the user to get the result―all the way to scrapping the original requirements and proposing a completely different solution.

FOSS like a free toilet needs maintenance from time to time. In Thailand, the toilets are pay in some areas and they clean them and take care of them. In the USA they used to have paid toilets but got rid of them because it was called discrimination against the poor.

A reason why pay software does so well is that there is hand holding within a phone call away if something goes wrong. With FOSS you might have a bug report and hope it gets fixed in the next release.
If the range is that large either some or all of the studies were poorly done or too different to compare.

They don’t count as ‘Open Source’ according to the definition of the Open Source Foundation: https://opensource.org/docs/osd

6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor

The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.
I meant a secular alternative.

A majority (56%) of South Koreans have no religion. Among the remainder, there are more Christians (19% Protestant + 8% Catholic) than Buddhists (15%). Unlike in Japan, Buddhism hasn't been a dominant force in the Korean society for a long time -- not since neo-Confucianism replaced it as the state ideology in the early 15th century.

Some Buddhist ideas and habits remain in the culture, of course, but most people regard them as part of their national tradition, not Buddhist in particular. The younger generations think of Buddhism more as a subject of history books than as something that might be relevant to the 21st century.

So a Buddhist monastery is not exactly the first thing that the average person would think of when they want to get away from the stresses of life in Seoul. Some temples run "temple stay" programs for short-term visitors, and some people seem to like it, but that's about it. It's just another niche. Not every Asian country is deeply Buddhist!

Meanwhile, anything that is vaguely related to America or Europe is grouped as "Western" in Korean parlance ;)
They're roughly comparable to the controllers we use.

A B&R Atom-based controller with 512Mb-2Gb of RAM will set you back £600-£1200 depending on speed and RAM size. I/O modules are a bit cheaper on B&R, but their capabilities are much more limited: four analogue inputs or outputs, or dix digital inputs or outputs, per module. The RevPi digital modules also have built in counters for encoders, which is a separate and more pricey card on B&R.

So, it's certainly not a low cost system, but it seems to be one that's designed for parity with the existing industrial controllers, rather than being lower cost but much less capable.

I'm not sure how it compares to systems from Wago, Siemens etc, but a quick Google seems to indicate that they're also in the same price range.

GPU acceleration doesn't change the dynamics of caching glyphs. Existing text renderers already cache aggressively. Also, worth noting that caching the rendering of individual code points won't work effectively even in all cases for a terminal, because of diacritics, ligatures, etc.

Of course it's all pixels. You can do it all in pixel shaders. But of course, it's a lot more complicated than it seems. Supporting RTL requires some pretty advanced layout logic. Supporting OpenType ligatures also requires some pretty complicated, stateful logic. And you probably want to support "wide" glyphs even for a fixed width font, which are present in terminals where you are dealing with, for example, kanji.

If you want subpixel AA, that's another complicated issue. If you want to be able to do subpixel AA where glyphs are not locked to the pixel grid, you will need to do more work.

If you want to be able to render glyphs on the GPU purely, you'll need to upload all of the geometries in some usable form. Most GPUs don't render curves, so you will probably turn them into triangles or quads. That's a lot of work to do and memory to utilize for an entire font of glyphs.

You also might think you could utilize GPUs to perform anti-aliasing, but the quality will be pretty bad if done naively, as GPUs don't tend to take very many samples when downsampling.

Since a lot of the work is stateful and difficult to parallelize, doing it on CPU will probably be faster, that way you only pay the latency to jump to the GPU once.

Such software is not Free Software or Open Source, according to their definitions.

FWIW, I still have close to no idea what DLT/Crypto/Decentralization/etc. even is, or rather is for. Assuming the tech actually has wings we won't really understand the how and why until certain use cases come to dominate. Even then, it can be difficult. After Western Union was founded (19th century), people would walk into WU offices to send money over the telegraph line and say things like, "Where can I see the little man who runs along the wire carrying the money?" Having said that, here's my explanation:

How? Readers can pay newsrooms for content using a debit/credit card or purchasing and sending CVL to the newsroom.

Why? Because they like the pieces coming out of a set of newsrooms and want access to that type of content.

Effectively, journalists end up running their own newspaper, but that newspaper is a subsidiary of a parent company that is hands-off for content but not for governance (which just means it's not totally hands-off for content). This newspaper would compete against other subsidiaries of the parent, and would have a certain percentage vote on what other subsidaries exist. Moreover, journalists would often be paid by selling their stock options in the parent.

----

Obviously, the hypothesis here is that such a direct connection between journalist and reader will lead to higher-quality content then can be found at the MSM rags. I'm agnostic about whether that is the case.

> Immersion is overrated

> Everyone else will just cringe after a few minutes and change to English

It's not really immersion if you aren't forced to speak the language, and form and maintain social relationships solely in the target language. It sounds like you weren't able to achieve that on your own in your day to day.

> Hire a private tutor

This is good advice. Your tutor was presumably speaking Spanish with you, which was the missing piece.

The takeaway should be if you're not part of a social group that speaks primarily (if not entirely) in the target language, then you will not learn it well.

Languages are a way of bonding between people. A single person raised alone in the wild has no language; a group of people in the wild always do.
That's amazing, where are you and where are your master and tango teacher from?

Not really true. Depending on rabbit population, or if you have a goat, you can fairly straightforwardly maintain a lawn without mowing. You have to be happy with random rabbit carcasses / holes though. It does take some care (in regards to what you do with fertilizer) if you don't want weeds, but if you keep the land very barren, the only 'weeds' you'll get are wild flowers.

Obviously this all depends on drainage/soil type.
> That said, this is an incoherent rant. What does Google/Facebook's "jealously guarded" user data have to do with how FOSS developers are treated and remunerated?

It's because arguably in the past (80-90s) the highest value was with the code, and it was it that was jealously guarded. Now the code doesn't have that much value and there are clones of almost everything, and the weight shifted towards the piles of user data. In other words, if I'm motivated enough, I can create a Facebook clone (with less useless functionality but arguably better user experience) in 2-3 months, but I'll never be able to gather a fraction of the user data they managed to get.

Ask HN: Situation: Startup team of contractors, customer wants to visit office?
Hi all,
So most of our team of 8, in made up of contractors working remotely. We had mentioned that we are a team of 10 (8 contractors + 2 co-founders) in one of our calls (hadn't specified that they were contractors), now the client is insisting on meeting in our office.

How should we handle the situation?
> On the one hand it sounds like you're saying that software engineers are paid enough already, then on the other hand you're saying you think the compensation given to the software engineers that founded the company - which is much MUCH higher than that of the average company engineer is appropriate.

Of course, because the level of risk is different. $100,000 guaranteed is worth more than a <50% chance at $200,000, much less a <1% chance. A very high reward is inherently necessary to offset the very low probability of major success, otherwise people aren't going to do it.

> Could you let me know exactly what risks you think a failing startup founder faces that would entitle them to say, a thousand times more dollars than the average salaried employee?

The less than one in a thousand chance of making that much.

> Does this mean that any individual that takes out a loan larger than their assets to start a business is entitled to thousands of times more money than their average employee?

There are many ways to turn a thousand dollars into a 0.1% chance at a million dollars. Then 99.9% of the time you lose the thousand dollars -- and it's your time/money, not the bank's. Nobody is going to give you an unsecured loan to gamble with.

But if you bet on your own horse at 1000:1 odds and win, how are you not entitled to the proceeds?

So theoretically ALL businesses can be rebuilt and run on top of blockchain technology.
But its long time ahead, now imo best usecases for blockchain:
1. C2C platform: something like central stock exchange can be replaced totally by blockchain.
2. robotics and sharing economy: you have your own robots/device but not utilize its maximum capacity, you can allow others to rent this robot with a given fee, and all of those stuff should be autonomous and transparent via smart contract, no need of a platform like Uberobotics for it:)
