(note that I'm not the ggp).

I don't think that's quite it. Let me simplify and suggest that, broadly speaking, there were three classes of information: need to know, confidential, and public. Public is obvious, need to know is also fairly self explanatory, and confidential information would be that which is broadly available to those who wish to know within the company, but shouldn't be shared externally.

Leaks shift the confidential stuff toward need to know. So upcoming product launches are need to know, and I end up learning about new things when they're announced on a blog instead of internally ahead of time (this is for both controversial and uncontroversial things, like "here's what we're announcing next week")

But the more annoying and perhaps damaging part is that when controversy is raised, leadership can't respond to it with nuanced, confidential answers. Everything has to be in pr speak because it will get leaked, so the response is made with that in mind, or worse the response is directly to the press instead of to employees because a concern was raised via the press.

It's a bit of a viscious cycle. But to directly respond, it's both. It's seeing things I already knew that probably shouldn't be public, and learning things that I'd previously have learned from a meeting on the internet and knowing that as a result, I have less of the story than I would have before.
What about ACDSee?

> It’s basically text layout and controls, no matter how many DIVs you put.

Except...it's not. Current HTML is mostly (entirely, in principle, but there are a couple holdout tags where that is strained) semantic rather than presentational, and there's very little layout-related in it (except insofar as all tags have overridable default presentation, and some of that is layout-related.)
Because it's an essay of personal experience, and the author's drug, er, device of choice was an iPhone (“iPhone” and “smartphone” are used interchangeably in the body to refer to the author’s device.)

The fact that other people might share similar experiences with other devices, and that the author even recognizes this, doesn't change the fact that the personal experience being addressed relates specifically to an iPhone.
Does that have much to do with the matter at hand?
I thought the point of PWA would be ‘free’ compatibility with every OS that can run PWA. Checking for several different APIs and using the appropriate one seems counter to this.
I think most people would define <= $100 as "budget phone". $500 is a mid-to-high-end android.
You have clearly been able to read and translate the GP's code and confidently assert you've written "pretty much the same code".

> Do you have a better example where the Perl syntax would shine?

Unless you have "a ton of knowledge about Perl" your reply shows that it was a perfect example in response to the GGP.
I don’t have dev tools on mobile, so it was a guess. iOS Safari also prompts for autofill on that page. I think sibling comment is right. The placeholder has “name” in it.

I'd say the Delphi of today is better than ever. It's a shame it isn't more widely used. I really like it.
If x is some object then x[k] is intuitively some object at distance "k" from the beginning of x.

So the object right at the beginning is x[0].
Follow the money. Somebody in power is getting backhanders or has a cushy job lined up at one of the tech suppliers. The US government is one of the most corrupt in the western world.
Um, no... company shares represent a "share" of the company's value.

I think you need to understand what "dilution" means here.

Say your company has 100 shares, and is worth $1000, so each share is worth $10. You create another 100 shares. Your company now has 200 shares. But the company is still exactly the same company. It didn't just double in value, it's still worth $1000, so now each share is worth only $5. Each share got "diluted" in value.

If you, as a loyal employee of many years service, were holding 5 of these shares, then the value of that loyal service just got halved. You would be annoyed at this.

Company valuations need to go up in order to issue new shares without annoying people. Seed investors buy shares when the company is small and not worth much. When the Series A people come in, the company is much bigger and worth much more. So the new shares can be issued without annoying the existing investors because their net value remains the same (or usually goes up).

Randomly issuing new shares without an increase in company value will annoy everyone, which is why companies don't just issue new shares whenever they feel like it.
I miss Picasa so much. I switched to Lightroom but I hate the subscription model and how heavy it is. I just want a light fast way of managing 500k photos and doing basic edits. Rotate, crop, export at specific resolutions for sharing, tagging, etc. I appreciate the power in Lightroom but I just don't need it.

Also, I'd love to switch to Linux full-time but that's the main program I'm lacking. I've tried most the suggestions but none handle high numbers of photos without becoming intolerably slow.
That's true, but taking the thread further in the wrong direction only makes it worse.

There are other ways to ask for more information, that open discussion up rather than stiffening into confrontation. Please post in that spirit instead.

Very anecdotal but for the first couple of years of my sons life I gave him l reuteri mostly because it is very well studied for showing improvement in infant colic (it’s whats in Gerber Soothe brand colic drops for example) It certainly worked wonderfully for that but his general mood was all around better and now at four he’s extremely social. Of course he could have been otherwise as well but we do have some family history on both sides with autism spectrum disorders. The specific brand of l reuteri that seemed best based on my research at the time is BioGaia Protrctis.

Interestingly l Reuteri is also found in human breast milk.
Might as well imagine autonomous-only lanes while we're speculating.
The fundamental difference between human and automated drivers is that humans aren't going to get any better. Software based systems will get to human level then continue to improve to the limits of computing and physics, which is certainly better than humans.

And we haven't even considered networking. When the cars are all talking to each and routed together then it's fundamentally a single machine.

The laws and systems will evolve with capabilities rather than getting stuck on supporting the earliest generation of self driving vehicles and norms.

Really when it comes to smart phones the things I would want are things not offered by most.
- Stop being phobic about thickness already and make it durable. Nearly everyone has a case on it anyway which makes it farcical.
- Boost battery life.
- Easily accessible SD card, include service doors for a change, stop dropping features like headphone jacks.
I admit to being niche but I think at this point improvements in the peripheral aspects are what could move people in addition to anything and even if they got every little niche people wanted it probably wouldn't keep the market from saturating without adding major new functionality.
I'm not sure this is a bad thing. Often times, traffic jams are caused by not enough spacing, or unobservant drivers resulting in sudden breaking, and a knock-on effect. Would need to simulate to confirm, but I suspect that more vehicles giving enough stopping distance, and accelerating smoothly would improve traffic flow, even with the addition of more defector (defective?) drivers.
That's not uncommon for DSP chips.
As a semi-pro photog who is very keen to quit Adobe completely, I'm very keen to try it out.

Curious about privacy aspects though. When you say it's a private cloud, does it communicate back to your servers at all?

Any goals for Linux compatibility?

I'd love something that can store the photos on a NAS or network share drive, runs its processing in a Docker container on my LAN, and serves a web app locally with absolutely no external internet access. That's basically my dream photo manager. I can connect to my own LAN remotely to access it then, without any need for the privacy/security risk of hosting my (and my clients) photos on some 3rd party server.

VMCS Manufacturing solution from NCR. It was an entirely que based solution that ran on VRX (mainframe environment). Blisteringly fast. Why? Intelligent use of queues, single programs that read a que, did something, put results on a que, is how bank software was done, retail software, and many more. Its a simple model that predates OOP but actually entirely consistent with OOP principles. I had privilege to see this in 80s with NCRs manufacturing and retail software, at NCR (my first job) and at there biggest user in NZ (Farmers Trading Co.).
In order to make gas legal to sell in CA, it requires a special formulation and additives. Refineries have to be specially configured to produce it, so CA will almost always be more due to the smaller amount of refinery capacity dedicated to producing it. And that isn't even taking into account the various CA taxes and fees on gas that add up to nearly 50 cents a gallon.
it's mostly observations, not theory. And he doesn't even touch on the Spanish Inquisition that sprang out of silicon valley and anti-Trump media after his election.
This is exactly how each round of investment works. The board creates new shares for each round. Previous investors wanting to maintain their percentage ownership must invest again.
To be fair, Fred Wilson is not saying that these grants of new stock are appropriate everywhere -- he specifically said he has never seen it happen when a founder-CEO owned 25% or more of the company and that the cutoff is somewhere around "double digits".

If a founder-CEO only controls about 8 or 9% of the company stock then perhaps they ARE just a kind of super-employee of the VCs.

Several subfields of PAC learning also deal with quantifying error bounds under other assumptions about the KL divergence between your sampling distribution and the true distribution. Variational Bayesian methods also provide results on generalization in these cases.

You seem to care a lot that these approaches rely on assumptions, but I find that silly.

Further in _most_ specific applications of e.g. CNNs for computer vision tasks or RNNs for time series or sequential prediction tasks, you _do_ control the entire sampling distribution (e.g. user photos with exactly satisfied criteria), and you really can fully and unambiguously guarantee that the training and testing set come from the “true” distribution you care about. And in many other cases the degree to which that assumption fails is so minor that it makes no practical difference.
I'd argue a better deterrent is knowing that there /might/ be an air marshal on the plane AND/OR the unknown security screening done on my checked luggage after it leaves my hands. The TSA are a terrible experience for anyone that encounters them, often giving a poor impression of the US to many first timers, and they are bad at their job! Yet we're not looking to take another approach? It's frankly...pathetic.

At least on Apple's part, their phones have been getting thicker since the iPhone 6 and I'd say battery life is improving with each generation, especially when you consider the growth in activity occuring on the device since that generation.
> I'd like to hear opinions on how the use of sigils and the other syntax oddities like Int:D, Int:U, given, when, etc improves the codabliity/readability of Perl 6 vs other languages.

Given/when is not really a syntax oddity, it's (in the simplest case), a structurally and semantically common construct in other languages that goes by various names (case/when, switch/case, etc.), the name is unique to Perl but the naming fis all over the map between other languages, and Perl matches English much better than most others (though it would do so more precisely if “when” was “when it is”), so that's a plus for readability except for people who come to Perl more fluent in some other programming language than in English.

Other uses of when might be unique to Perl, but they generalize the use from given/when (and have the much the relation to English), so there is a deep consistency there; learning a concept that is more limited in other languages buys you more in Perl.
I have always assumed that everything on the internet is meant to be a joke. Be it accurate or inaccurate, I get to laugh either way.

Will these people lose any reputation if the possible grand solar minimum happens?

EDIT:

Also:
"The Lancet Countdown on health and climate change announced last week that 157 million more people were exposed to heatwave events in 2017, compared with 2000."

There are about 1.5 billion more people in 2017 vs 2000, only 10% being exposed to heat waves seems like a good thing.

if you think TSA is getting hard to handle with unreasonable surveillance, you havent taken a road trip lately.

Riding my motorcycle from the east coast to the southwest I was stopped by "border patrol" at least 100 miles from any border I could see. After refusing to answer any questions, I was detained for an hour near the AZ border until agents could photograph my sugar skull patch and empty all my bags on the side of the road.
If your in frontline management isn't that basically your job? To translate company goals to on the ground action?

I suppose its a little surprising to hear upper management is not spouting BS, but I now also wonder how much of that is frontline management simply not acting on the vision.
Singapore? Tokyo? America is different is so many ways I don't even know where to begin.
Creating shares, regardless of changes in company value, dilutes percentage ownership of previous investors. I think your definition of "dilution" isn't capturing this aspect of GP's comment.
> Surely many organizations are provably doing so every day. Why don't they count as "someone?" Presumably because they don't fit Curtis' definition of the cultural mainstream. But, Curtis (at least in the interview) never defines the cultural mainstream. What is inside it, what is outside it, and why?

As I understood it, the mainstream is the relevant/influential part of the society. Surely somebody is paying attention to most of the things as they are easy accessible these days but to what outcome?

> I can't possibly see how this can be true. Creativity is dead? We can't imagine new things because facebook (or the internet, or modern media) exists? I'm being a bit dismissive here, but I don't see how he can support this claim. People are coming up with new ideas all the time.

Are they really?
I mean on one hand he's talking about visionary developments of systems (political, economical, etc.) but I don't see anything substantial there. We had a really great opportunity for it when the whole post-crisis occupy thing was going on but it seems like it used all the energy on self organizing or discussions about how discussions should run (seen it happen actually in the Frankfurt camp in Germany). Right now we're back at "holding it together when mad man are breaking it with stupidity" (which they probably do). Meanwhile the deep left groups where you'd expect is still re-dreaming dead concepts that did not work out in the past already. This is where they meet the alt right, where nothing is really "alt" about them.

Now you're talking about Social Media, what is the new thing there? Todays meme? Which is also based upon some past joke. Then we have the world of products. What is there actually new? The newest robot doing the stuff we did before? The new version of the old machine we had but now with a screen and the ability to talk? The new phone that has a notch now? Or is it maybe the new food, which is actually the old food grown the old way because back then everything was better. This is the world of the general public. My world. Maybe your world too and I don't see it.

When I went to Japan, I was confronted with a product palette that was immense. The famous Kit-Kat portfolio for example. The electronic toys, etc. I went in the mall there an it got a sudden backflash of me going into an ALDI when I came to Germany from Poland at the end of the 80s and suddenly I wonder: is this maybe just a shift. Is there really new stuff out there if you are Japanese in Japan?

My personal hope for an idea we can all start dreaming of and working upon is space. I really hope that people like Musk and nations investing into this widely open area of ideas may give us some perspective.
My issue with Spring is it became what it was supposed to replace. Originally, we flocked to Spring because IBM WebSphere and WebLogic were slow and bloated. Now Spring has classes that are 72+ characters long and an inconsistent programming model.

I really like CDI, which grew from ideas hatched in Spring and Guice. Microprofile is built on top of it as offers standardized, mutiple competing implementations, modular, interoperable specs.
Actually, it's a problem of capitalism being distorted by a monopoly on the use of force - aka a government - which can tax, subsidize, protect-from-liability and regulate, different people/firms at its own whims and interests. Without tax advantages, liability limitations, regulatory captures, etc., it would be all-but-unthinkable for any firm to reach Monsanto's size, wipe its competition out, and avoid collapsing under the weight of its own bureaucracy and diseconomies-of-scale.

At minimum, if we actually owned the air we breathe and the water we purchase, and if we weren't thusly impeded by EPA incompetenc; then Monsanto would actually have to pay a fair price for its pollution. Instead, that task is confined to the EPA who, being a centralized and irreplacable monopoly, get swiftly paid-off by the very firms they were supposed to be investigating.

(Also, taxation itself is theft a priori, but that's mostly another topic.)
I mean I understand what you're saying, I just find it a bit... disappointing? That you'd accept PR speak to be used at all.

Honesty should be the rule, and any PR speak, by anyone, should be denounced.

I do see your point, I'm just disappointed that the company doesn't feel like it can tell you the truth because the truth hurts.
What does PFS do that Knative+Riff doesn't get me?

Is the title even accurate? It sounds/looks more like "Pivotal creates branded offering of Knative+Riff and uses one of their main selling points as their headline feature", but maybe I'm just biased from past impressions of Pivotal marketing. Especially since it seems to be in contact-only early access.
Doing this in chicago winter sucks. I did that for many years and now I drive.
When I first read the title, I thought the article was about awk. After all the definitive book about awk has a whole chapter on little languages. In that context, little languages means languages with specialized applications, and not general-purpose.
I can whole-heartedly recommend Dokku[0], it's been fantastic for me, and does exactly what you describe.

Edit: Doh! Except for the admin panel, which was a pretty major part of your question :) Dokku is CLI-based, though I seem to remember there being a third-party web ui for it, can't remember. Either way, it might still be worth checking out.

> I don't get the given/when part of this comment at all?

Given and when were listed as separate items, not “given/when”; I agree with you about given (encompassing the given/when construct), but I can understand seeing “when” as an oddity (though I think it's a plus for comprehensibility, because it's general behavior is a consistent generalization of it's behavior in given/when.)
Sounds like a good problem to have.
Will they lose any reputation in any case? There seems to be no career downside to sounding an alarm, whether the calamity occurs or not.
America had more commuter/passenger rail in the 1940/50s than Europe has today. Russia and China are more spread apart and they both have more high speed real than American has.

Every Australian capitol except Darwin/Hobart and ACT have commuter train systems, and they have the same land mass as the US with 1/6 of the people.

I hate hearing people use the argument you used, because it's just straight up wrong. If American built rail, you'd be surprised to see how quickly development would flock to build around it. American spread out like it did because the nation moved to Interstates.
The reddit post was interesting but not helpful (actionable) for other patients.

In the USA, if you experience the symptoms of a heart attack, you just take a taxi to the emergency ward, walk up to the receptionist and say, "I think I'm having a heart attack."

You will get priority over everybody else, minimal forms, and you don't need insurance to get initial treatment.

If you can think of other reasons for the symptoms, like you went to the gym for the first time the day before and have chest muscle soreness, then you can just sit in the lobby while you sort things out. (Walking up a flight of stairs at the hospital is a good DIY stress test. Some on-call doctors actually ask what entrance you arrived at, and if there's a ramp, they know you're prolly ok if you walked in.)
Why would a founder have to vest?
No, as that would not have a huge impact on global warming, and it would be a short term impact at that.

You need different sets of skills at different times. Peter Thiel eloquently articulated this as “before you can have a company vision, you need a company mantra”.

In the beginning the work is about instantiating the product into the world. It’s unclear what bumps you’re going to run into so you have to be careful about overdefining the problem. You also can’t have no definition or no work gets done. It’s tricky (this is the 0->1).

The 1->Many is different. You also can’t over constrain the problem but you need a lot more definition and constraint than you did before product market fit. Not everyone likes this part.

If you have a founder who does the 0->1 really well and has a massive equity position, but they don’t do the 1->Many well, that’s going to make the company very, very difficult to govern.

It’s tricky to think about how to reason about this because many people think they can do everything. Not everyone is a creator, and not everyone is an operator.

It’s not obvious (and if there isn’t a big success incentive, it’s hard to get good people to work on the problem).
Agreed. BazQux is worth every penny of the $20 annual subscription, and a lot more.

The current TreeStyleTabs extension mostly works, although it occasionally exhibits weird behavior (dropped tabs ending up under other tabs instead, etc). Still, I can't live without it.
