This clearly states about Clojure that its syntax AND it's procedure of development (another grand claim) introduce said complexity.

That whole write-up is just about as incorrect as it can get:

> Virtually every other well known development tool in popular use is built upon bloated layers of existing technology, [...] Most developers have just never experienced the sort of self dependent architecture,

Never mind that Red is actually implemented in another abandoned proprietary language[0]!

That entire sales pitch is a barefaced lie.

Yes, there is. Either you mention an IP address with a netmask such as 127.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 or you use CIDR. Mentioning a broadcast address to describe an address space is wrong because it doesn't describe how many bits (netmask and CIDR do that for IPv4).
Facebook's ad policies disallow “sexually suggestive content”. Their definition is pretty broad (“excessive visible skin”): https://www.facebook.com/policies/ads/prohibited_content/adu...

No. Alt-right tabloids like Breitbart are obviously significantly worse than mainstream media, but almost all journalism is trash. Every major network can point to really great work that some of their journalists have done. However, every day ALL of them post intentionally misleading stories designed to manipulate people that don't fact-check.

Frequently, they leave things out or use deceptive wording to change the meaning/context of events. Even when they cite facts, they often do so in ways that make telling what actually happened difficult.

There are still many, many 18th century American cookbooks that haven't been digitized yet. Some have probably been lost given their proximity to kitchens, which were separate from the house, more prone to weather and, perhaps, fire. I can only find references in old catalogues that they existed, but nothing much else.

another way to look at this is that the number of people who need housing is higher than (far to the right of) the current market clearing price point (where the supply and demand curves currently cross).

building more at the high end shifts the whole supply curve down, not just the portion at the high end (this is because markets are defined by the interchangeability of the goods therein--i.e., fungibility). however, the rate of building is far too low to even meet the rising demand, much less to supply housing to everyone, so prices continue to rise.

the demand curve, which moves independent of the supply curve, has shifted up with the flood of high-salary developers into the market, so the new equilibrium price is still high and far to the left of the number of people needing housing.

all of those people between the market clearing price point and total needing housing are homeless (not all are on the streets however).

to get to the point where we can house everyone, we can shift the demand curve up with higher wages (for the bottom 80%). the supply curve shifts up (prices are higher) with high rents (e.g., land prices), zoning/other regulations, and nimbyism. we need to improve all of these things to supply enough housing for everyone.
Exactly this. Just this weekend, I setup my first CodeCommit (AWS) repo because I needed a private git repo for a new project and didn't want to pay github for it.

It turned out to be damned easy (and very cheap) and that's a serious threat to github's future growth because once people start to default elsewhere for one type of their work, it tends to drag along other types of their work.
I feel fairly certain, Steve, that I wouldn't have learned Rust without you writing the docs and having you contribute here on HN. Thanks! You're amazing.

It could be that our app is uniquely situated to avoid these issues, but we have had the opposite experience. Our API is versioned so things never get out of sync, the frontend code has no external dependencies so its as unbrittle as one could imagine, and we use aws API gateway to fake server side endpoints, so we dont have to do some weird url scheme. This could never work with a CRM though.

Focusing solely on the impact to Github’s bottom line kinda misses the entire point of Microsoft wanting to acquire them in the first place.

A decision like this has to be viewed in the wider context of Microsoft’s market strategy and the rest of their developer tool portfolio, of which Github is just one piece.

If Microsoft just cared about short term gains, there were much better ways to blow 8 billion dollars.
Anker (the company whose product is profiled) is also run by Chinese people.

Which proves absolutely nothing, of course. But it is consistent with how this sort of thing might happen. Companies often hire someone from their own country to do stuff for them.

EDIT: I think people have not understood what I'm saying here. I'm not trying to imply anything bad about Anker. I'm trying to explain what the comment two levels above mine may have been implying. The fact that this site is Chinese isn't a refutation of the scenario they're suggesting, it's part of it. (On a side note, I charged my phone on an Anker charger last night.)
Case insensitivity sounds good except it quickly runs afoul of "language isn't so simple."

If I define a variable as "groß", does "GROSS" or "GROẞ" match it (or both, which probably implies "gross" would match as well)? What about "ê" and "E"? Or the infamous i/I/İ/ı debacle, which could make matching "insane" to "INSANE" locale-dependent? How do you define case-insensitivity in a way that makes sense?
> Nope, the "stock units" that you "vest" will expire after a few years.

When they vest, you either get (1) actual shares, (2) the cash equivalent (I think that option may only be available for publicly traded stock), or (3) at your option, retain the RSU for conversion at a later date.

Unconverted deferred vested RSUs might expire (and vested stock options definitely expire), but—unlike options—there’s almost never a reason not to convert an RSU (deferring for later conversion may make sense, but it's essentially always better to convert before expiration.)

If all (or most of) the growth is in services as Apple claims, why hike hardware prices so much that it could over time erode their installed base?

I believe the answer is that Apple doesn't really believe that service revenue will grow fast enough to compensate for longer hardware replacement cycles.

And that belief is probably justified because their service offering doesn't seem very robust at this point.

Hi Steve, I looked at the title and I had this gut feeling of what the post is going to contain. It was a real bummer to hear about your leaving Mozilla. You did some serious job with Rust. My first contact with the Rust language was through your posts here. There was a feeling that you are virtually everywhere on the Internet where someone mentions Rust. Always very helpful with your writings. On the other hand, I'm happy for you and hope that you can find a place where your work is appreciated and well compensated.

Your post makes me a bit worried with what's going on with Mozilla, and also for the future of the Rust language. I have mixed feelings about Mozilla myself. Some people mentioned in the comments something about a Rust Foundation. I will definitely be happy to chip in if it's in the plan.

Thank you for everything, and good luck wherever you go next (:
127.255.255.255 is a broadcast address in the /8. It doesn't describe the amount of bits in the network. You need a netmask or CIDR notation for that. For IPv6 you need CIDR, so I suggest to learn that.

CIDR is understandable for people who know basic networking. If someone doesn't understand what 127/8 means (which is totally OK if someone doesn't) I'd argue they shouldn't learn about the topic we discuss (valid HTTPS certs for localhost); they should learn something as basic as CIDR first. CIDR isn't difficult to understand. Basics first. You can't learn to speak English if you don't know how to open and close your mouth...

The problem I think GitHub has is that is has too many proprietary extensions onto the Git format that don’t have an equivalent in the Git format: issue tracking and versions, off the top of my head.

I don’t to say blame GH for having an incentive, as it’s hard to say I have my eggs in GitHub’s basket: if I needed to move to another provider my code is already in my projects folder, and I can manually move any open issues over. Still, it’d be a wonderful gesture from Microsoft to the OSS world of they made such features an open-source extension to Git.
Is it? I swear I hear about its imminent release every year. There are already some really good electric motorcycles out there, zero comes to mind, but newer ones too. Its gotta be a tall order recconciling the harley image/branding with an ebike. I don't envy their designers. Electrics fit perfectly with how 60% of riders use their harleys (in the USA, barhopping middle age professionals cosplaying in leather). The actual touring crowd will continue to be unimpressed, and are already leaving for victory and goldwings.

Microsoft Research Cambridge, has been doing this for a long while.

"It turns out that there are lots of similarities between modelling concurrent systems and biological systems. Just like a computer, biological systems perform information processing, which determines how they grow, reproduce and survive in a hostile environment. Understanding this biological information processing is key to our understanding of life itself.

It’s probably easier to understand some of the output of this work – specifically the Stochastic Pi Machine, or SPiM as it’s often referred to. SPiM is a programming language for designing and simulating models of biological processes. The language features a simple, graphical notation for modelling a range of biological systems – meaning a biologist does not have to write code to create a model, they just draw pictures.

You can think of SPiM as a visual programming language for biology. In addition, SPiM can be used to model large systems incrementally, by directly composing simpler models of subsystems. Historically, the field of biology has struggled with systems so complex they become unwieldy to analyse. The modular approach that is often used in computer programming is directly applicable to this challenge."

Do Muslims that don't live within commuting distance of a mosque cease to be Muslims? Of course not, they pray in their homes. The existence of Muslims that practice religions without mosques makes the claim that a ban on mosques prohibits the practice of Islam outright an objectively false statement. You're the one that put the threshold at "prohibit outright".

US courts would likely agree that it is unjustly curbing religion - they'd find the bans on head coverings unlawful as well.

Specialization and competitive advantage are a thing.

Also, allocating 3% of my developers time is not super useful. That's less than 1 day a month per developer. Far better to allocate 1 developer for X time. By giving cash, you facilitate that for someone else. You could of course choose one person in your company to be that person and pay them directly, but thats hard for political reasons.
Surely charging more than their customers are willing to pay isn't a great strategy for building a $32M company.
Isn't it already? VR isn't huge, but it's definitely non-zero and there's a plausible case to be made for more growth in the forseeable future. AR appears to be indistinguishable from zero right now, and the case for growth in the forseeable future remains fairly hard to make. ("Forseeable" is a bit of a fuzzy term, but let's call it 10 years for concreteness. In 50 years, sure, AR everywhere, but on a timeframe even a long-term investor thinks on? Not sure I see it happening.)
Yes and no. It's actually really complicated. For instance, you can be taxed on earnings against foreign-owned assets, such as stocks, bonds, ETFs, futures, commodities, and ownership in investment real property, which is not excluded from taxation in FEIE. FEIE only affects income tax, not capital gains tax or other forms of taxation. It also does not exempt you from FICA (Medicare, Social Security, et al).

So you're working for a US tech company that issued you RSUs and options in the US market, and you also bought an apartment in your foreign country of residence, and you also happened to buy some ETFs once on the London Stock Exchange. Good luck with filing without an accountant or being audited :)

Also, have fun ever selling foreign property. Being subject to expatriated taxes means you are automatically ineligible for real estate capital gains exemption. Decide to move to a better apartment and sell your old one in a foreign country? Welp, now you owe capital gains on the sale with no exemptions allowed, even though the transaction had nothing to do with the US in any way. [2]

In addition, if you earned over the FEIE limitation, you'd be fully taxed in that bracket by the US AND by your resident country. Some EU member nations have special taxation rules especially for US expats (Germany for instance) thanks to a cozy relationship and a huge number of US foreign nationals living there (civilian employees of the US military, for instance). In general though, you'd be strictly double-taxed on income. You also get no credit against paying VAT, which is a significant tax in the EU.

Trust me, I am speaking from experience here, there is nothing at all simple about paying US taxes while living abroad or even filing an accurate return. You're also at higher audit risk. You basically /have/ to hire an expensive accountant (or be lucky enough that the US government supplies/augments one if you're a government employee).

Also if you own real property in the United States, you are automatically excluded from being eligible for FEIE. I owned my home in the US while I was abroad, which meant I was never entitled to FEIE unless I transferred the property into ownership of a trust (like a REIT) or sold it. If I moved it into a trust, I'd have to pay taxes off any gains made and those would not be excluded and do not have to be fully realized to be taxable in some scenarios.

Taxes are really really really complicated in general, and US taxes are bonkers stupid complicated. And then there's FATCA, so good luck even trying to get away not filing a return or dealing with this situation [1].

Basically, the short answer is if you are a US citizen and you move abroad, be ready to get shafted hard by the IRS and also pay extensively for the privilege of telling them how hard to shaft you.

Nice but no. We need to push Free Software and to push it at political level, with the target of forbid closed source products.

We do not need subsistence economy, we already won technically, open code is everywhere now. The big loss is the miss of political support. The big loss is the mass ignorance of how private companies trap open code in closed "boxes" from Android to WSL/DeX/Crostini to our PND/NAS/router/*.

That's the real point to get and IMO apart FSF we need to take action at school/universities level, workplaces etc. Putting money like that is a way to loose money without return.

Reading this right now. God this book is soo good, it's a must read for any startup founder.
Yep, you get me. And this saddens me doubly because we saw the same kinda "upgrade" from $700 to $1000 in flagship phones not long ago and everybody was just as okay there.

Maybe it's the tariffs, or inflation, or some other thing that totally justifies this kind of sudden jump, but somehow not many press outlets acknowledge this jump at all existing, for them it's business as usual it seems.

My only hope is that consumers will react with falling sales. I'm sticking to my 1080 Ti for sure until the next gen.
I wouldn't either... The team was good and the product was technically interesting.

(The startup that offered me the 0.1% didn't have either of these qualities.)
If an idea is literally all they bring to the table and it doesn't have a patent or anything around it, I would give them something like an advisory role and 2% equity.

If they don't like this, just take the idea and start the company without them if it's a good idea. A person with an idea that cannot execute on it has no leverage.

I don't know why you would be generous with this person. They will have no risk and no skin in the game, so why give them a big reward?
What's amusing is that this will likely hurt the tool makers since it will lock them out of free accounts, where as before they could sell to free accounts. Seems like a whoops for GH.

I'd be surprised if each battery couldn't come with a little computer that tracks charge times, cycles and power output over time. It would make it trivial to monitor whether or not a battery is currently serviceable (or whether it will expire prematurely).

For EV fleets we used to only be able to do this per vehicle (not by battery) while the vehicle was home and charging, by shipping the fleet battery metrics to a central aggregator. But that is overkill for consumer vehicles.
It seems the pendulum is starting to swing back as we see the unintended consequences of over parenting. Especially bulldozer parenting. Check out the book, "The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure" for a deep dive into this.

Same thing in the Philippines. I lived there for a bit, and the locals made all sorts of stuff out of bamboo and random leaves, both for themselves and for tourists. My favorites were:

- banana leaves as table cloths and food wraps
- bamboo for temporary structures, tools, and toys
- palm fronds (or something similar) as rope/packaging

It's also really fast to regrow, so it's super renewable.
