I don’t agree with your point about employees being able to ‘get their money out.’ If you have short stints at many startups I am young to see that as a serious red flag as a hiring manager. You can do it at one place but I think even if you do it twice in succession it’s going to suggest a pattern. Disclaimer: I’m not a software engineer so it may be less impactful than I think.

RE: your point about IRR, I also don’t fully agree. Yes it’s bad when when you don’t show return for many years as an investor but as someone who was personally waiting for a prior employer to go public I can assure that a difference of a year or two is not ‘zero material difference’ in my quality of life.
well, getting shares as an employee is even worse. You still get common shares, usually with some trade restrictions / lock up period on top of it... The price / premium on the secondary markets is a market price, and in a market that is more efficient than it used to be. Also, the person selling those shares may be an early employee who has many other reasons to sell than screwing the buyer...

From the last time I looked, none of the competitors have accident avoidance beyond automatic emergency braking. Full motion planning to avoid an accident seems like a huge step forward.

edit: Seeing your later comment, you seem to think this is emergency braking. The video clearly shows this goes beyond emergency braking.
This is interesting. For the very first application I had to create from scratch, the first thing I learned was about SQLAlchemy and the second was Alembic. It's almost alien to me to see that there are large organizations that have never heard of migrations.
So PIMPL is a compile firewall to keep the compile times and changes in one section from cascading and imacting your whole project with a recompile. It is not going to keep things secret as I can look at the binary and pick it apart.

So with that, it keeps the data(state) in the public facing class. This allows one to keep everythign stack allocated instead of defaulting to the heap. So for something this is created en mass(A vector of them) or created and destroyed often, this is a runtime win.

What it does is have a proxy that mirrors the public interface that is passed the this pointer. That proxy a friend class. Because only the proxies header(in this case private.h which I should probably rename firewalled.h) has static members that mirror the public members on the public class that limits the interaction between your classes users and it's implementation, as it is also with unique_ptr(or whatever pointer/heap way) based PIMPL designs. So changes in private.cpp that does all the work are only reflected in that one file. This file also brings in the heavy templates or algorithm code that may have large compile times.

Somehow you missed that the main point of the article being discussed here is - again! - that the US already pays more than the other top countries and receives less. Somehow that doesn't fit what you wrote at all, it's the exact opposite, to get better care you could do with less money. So where do you get that "we would have to raise taxes" from?

Sure, argv[0] is a just string, that the caller can set when they call execve(). That doesn't have mean that it doesn't have meaning. You are correct, there is no way to know how your executable was passed as the first argument to execve(). But, argv[0] is specified to mean roughly "welcome to the world, you are argv[0]", and to tell the program what it is. Sure, you could lie to the program, and tell it that it's something it's not by passing a different string to execve(), you can even do this from a Bash script with `exec -a`.

I stand by my original statement: If you want to tell the user how to invoke the program again, argv[0] is the right thing. I didn't say that running argv[0] will necessarily actually invoke the program again, I said that it's the right thing to tell the user. If the caller set argv[0] to something else, it's because they wanted your program to believe that is its identity, so that's what it should represent its identity as to the user.

If this is true why not just be a VC? You could pick all these unicorns at a great value. Even if you don’t put any of your own money in the fund you will make vastly more on the fund fees than you would have as even CTO.

I get that it's not just emergency breaking. My point though is that by 2022, all new cars are going to have both the sensors and the processing hardware needed to do this. So most new cars will probably have this sort of functionality, even if they're not required to by this specific industry agreement. (Lots of cars already have this, including ones that aren't even that expensive, e.g. pretty much any Subaru.)

I'm not sure VR headsets are the future of gaming either.

I had one of the PSVR headsets and it makes gaming even more isolationist.

Playing a console (where I believe the majority of gamers come from) is quite casual, you sit on the couch quite a distance from the screen with a basic controller.

Playing on the PC is more serious endeavour, often with headphones and sitting quite close to the screen.

VR is even more serious than playing on the PC, you need a dedicated space (to run around), you're completely cut off from the outside world.

VR means you really want to set yourself up for a long gaming session, due to the headset it is always going to be quite isolationist in ways other avenues are not.
I think the sears story's most important point is that they canceled their general catalog sales in 1993, the year before amazon was founded.

So 100% lack of foresight, but the real screw-up was by 1997 or so everybody and their dog was trying to sell everything under the sun online. Where was sears, still stubbornly refusing to acknowledge that internet sales were just the modern version of the business model that worked immensely well for sears.

How much would it have cost them to resurrect some form of mail-order/web forms read some business journals about Dell's order and deliver model and start making some side bets and deals with UPS/fedex?

Insurers already have an incentive to limit prices, though, which is essentially what their contracts with providers are. As in, they list how much they'll shell out for CPT codes.

It depends on whether some drugs that your system considers affordable today as generics, would have not existed without being funded by US taxpayers, I suppose.
I think this is a good point. If you are the ‘secret sauce’ than you may have an edge over an investor. There is perhaps the question of how you know that the company has huge potential with any confidence but I can think of a number of situations where it may be generally indicated. You should also command a stiff premium for catalyzing the company’s success. =)

Just to address part of your concern: Traditionally disk speed makes very little difference to compile times for real world C/C++ projects. This is because real world projects have many files, and each one can be compiled in parallel. Once you spawn sufficient compilers in parallel, the CPU becomes the bottleneck, not the disk. (I.e. when a compilation asks for I/O, it then yields the CPU to other compilers which have CPU work to do)

Note that Visual Studio, for example, does a poor job of this because it only spawns one compilation per CPU thread. This results in individual threads being idle more than they ought to be.

This reminded me of a UI Design principle, that users themselves often don't understand why they dislike a user interface, so their complaints and requests need to be explored, rather than taken at face value. Otherwise, when the first request is implemented, it may then replaced by another, and again, until the root cause is uncovered and addressed.

A very fuzzily remembered example was something like puzzling requests for data-entry form tooling, and the root cause turned out to be a multiple-page form lacking a "I can see it all, and see that it's right" confidence property, which was resolved not with tooling, but by simply making the form a single page.

One thing I like about this list is that it's so focused on the audience. Van Dine's priority is being fair to the reader and giving the reader an enjoyable experience and most importantly making sure the reader gets exactly what they came for when they pick up a mystery novel.

Although modern writers would likely find a list like this too narrow, I think the base point of being fair to the reader is a good one. It's one that, as many others have pointed out in this thread, many mystery stories today would benefit from.

Cant blame Nvidia or AMD. GPU's performance Scales very well with transistors count. As long as the next node is ready in GPU maker's pricing equation, you will get more transistors and hence more performance. And this is now largely down to TSMC.

At the current schedule it may take up to Mid / late 2021 before a 7nm 2060 drop price by half.
Sure. But iOS doesn't have Bash (I don't think, even if it does: Then just ship GPLv2 Bash on iOS, and modern Bash on macOS where users might actually care). The GPLv3 of Bash doesn't infect the shared kernel or libraries between iOS and macOS, it's just the `/bin/sh` program. It's easy enough to check if it's being included in iOS.

"The reason we can't ship modern Bash on macOS is that we're concerned we might accidentally include Bash on iOS."?

(and /bin/sh on macOS is already sufficiently user-modifiable to satisfy GPLv3)
Awesome, I'll send you an email soon! Don't want to go too far off-topic in this thread :)
Yes, I'm talking about wireless modems, not SOCs.

I wasn't asking your opinion on what wireless licensing ought to be; this licensing model has long been upheld by regulators and accepted by companies around the world for decades. Even China's antitrust regulator NDRC who fined Qualcomm to the tune of $975M last year supports their royalty model (https://www.winston.com/images/content/1/0/v2/100610/HarrisJ...):

"... Qualcomm will charge royalties for 3G and 4G Chinese SEPs for branded smartphones
sold for use in China based on a royalty base of 65 percent of the net selling price of the smartphone and royalty rates of 5 percent for 3G devices and 3.5 percent for 4G phones; ..."

And all wireless patents holders like Ericsson, Nokia, etc use the same royalty basis (ie, system level licensing) and similar royalty rates a bit lower. If you weren't unaware of it, now you know it.

I've been around the software business for 20 years now though it doesn't make me an legal expert on anything, much less transnational IP laws. I just try not to make any empty position without evidence.

You seem to misunderstand the applicable law. A procedural due process claim under the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment is not only different from a claim under the Administrative Procedure Act, but they cannot apply to the same circumstances: the Fourteenth Amendment due process clause, as opposed to the Fifth Amendment due process clause, applies to the States alone; the Administrative Procedure Act applies to federal agencies.

With respect to healthcare? Switzerland, for example. Very similar to ACA, actually, with mandatory but private insurance, and significant premiums. Government spending as proportion of GDP is actually lower than in US! But they've got better price controls, and that makes all the difference.

But, really, most countries are hybrid in that regard. It's very rare to see a healthcare system that's completely run by the government, with no market elements at all.

Cost, and the fact that it doesn't actually buy you much. I've evaluated GaN for a couple recent designs I've been involved in and found that its benefits simply didn't justify its costs.

What GaN actually does is, mainly, decrease switching losses. That means switching frequency can go up, or efficiency, or power density. These are all good things, to be sure, but the magnitude of improvement GaN brings to most designs is simply not large enough to justify the cost of the parts and the increased design attention needed to use them. (They're fussy little things.)

That said, I'm bullish on GaN in the medium-term. There are some cool tricks that are infeasible or impossible without them, and they really are better in a lot of ways. It'll just take a while for them to trickle downmarket, and even still they're not going to be replacing Si FETs anytime soon. (Part of the lag in GaN adoption is simply that Si FETs have gotten really, really good.)
It's still mind-blowing that if you wanted a USB-C controller in 1976, you'd need $64 million dollars worth of computing power.

That's probably a good sign you should advance from shell. If the script is trivial, it's going to be trivial in python / ruby / go / crystal / ... as well. If it's not trivial, that's another reason to move.
Bash 5.0
MacOS used to ship with tcsh as its default shell for years.
Which is mostly due to the lack of run-time reflection. OTOH, with a little creativity its possible to create code generators to attach a commonly named (say .serialize method) to classes to dump their POD fields, and call serialize on directly encapsulated classes.

But your basically right, everyone ends up doing it their own way which just ends up being a PITA.
All good points. It's worth mentioning that this is exactly why protobuf doesn't by default fail when it gets a field it doesn't recognize (there might be a flag to control strict validation, but there is a reason that "required" fields were taken out in proto3). From the source code:

https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/blob/master/src/...
// An UnknownFieldSet contains fields that were encountered while parsing a
// message but were not defined by its type. Keeping track of these can be
// useful, especially in that they may be written if the message is serialized
// again without being cleared in between. This means that software which
// simply receives messages and forwards them to other servers does not need
// to be updated every time a new field is added to the message definition.

A bit more detail:

For those who don't work with protos, they're the thing that Google created to use instead of XML before JSON was a thing. To use them, you define a message schema consisting of fields, where every field has (1) a number that will uniquely identify that field in the message, (2) a type for the field, and (3) a name for the field. The protoc compiler then generates code that decodes and encodes that specific message type for you.

Now think about what happens when a new field is added to that message type and the code is re-generated. That change is probably going to be in at least three different binaries (and it's often more): the client, the frontend, and the backend. There's no way to guarantee that every single client, frontend, and backend picks up that change at the same time - it has to go out incrementally. So if client v2 talks to frontend v1 and gets routed to backend v2, frontend v1 damn well better not crash if it sees a new field.
