Was AirPower supposed to support the watch? I don't see how that would be possible given the curved shape of the watch back.
Presumably on macOS? Basically all BSD- or GNU-derived tools that ship on macOS are ancient, ancient versions that deserve to be burnt away and should not be considered indicative of what the current state-of-the-art is capable of.
Well, there's a bit of a problem in how you're qualifying things. For example, certain things that aren't obviously handled by the type-system might be.

One example would be loops and off-by-one errors. For the case of For-loops on arrays Ada's solution arguably does so via the type-system; in Ada arrays "know" their own length, start- and stop-index and these are query-able via attributes.

So, given Function Sum( Input : Integer_Array ) return Long_Long_Integer you could for-loop on the parameter, querying the 'Range attribute -- yielding a possible implementation of:

Function Sum( Input : Integer_Array ) return Long_Long_Integer is
Begin
Return Result : Long_Long_Integer := 0 do
For Index in Input'Range loop
Sum:= Sum + Long_Long_Integer( Input(Index) );
End Loop;
end return;
End Sum;

And the entire problem is avoided via the type-system.
It's probably more terrible than its worth, and you'd need to figure out how to take the sample in a way that doesn't kill performance. It would be an interesting experiment, but the usual heuristic is just to give up on fast skipping if it's ineffective.

That is simply impossible.

You are measuring the wrong thing or a case where rg can skip most files.

This is awesome. I feel like it's more of the exception than the rule though. Just out of curiosity, I assume you primarily work off of referrals now, but how did you get your first few clients? Or I guess a better way of asking is how did you get enough clients to where you had enough referrals coming in?

Not just the weird habits of the users, either. I have way more confidence that Mozilla will fix issues in a timely manner than the one developer behind Waterfox, or the several behind Palemoon. Especially when the forks are depending on upstream to fix things for them. A few years ago there was a build of Waterfox that was substantially late because the one developer had exams.

The idea that The Economist is far leftist extremist is outrageously ridiculous. They do not hide their bias and it's not far left in any sense. It's why free-marketeers like me like them.
I've been going through some German history recently, specifically Prussia and the Junker class. One theme that really sticks out, relative to our modern times, is the relations between the nobility and the military. Time was, the scions were always in the chain of command. Throughout post-Roman European history, the 2nd and 3rd sons of landed nobility would commonly be in the officer classes. The 1st Crusade was mostly lead by these 2nd and 3rd sons trying to grab some land for themselves. The flag of South Carolina has a crescent in the corner, possibly due to all the 2nd and 3rd sons that came to the Americas (a crescent is common in the personal heraldry of such nobles and kinda became a 'thing'). The military was one outlet for these men that had the upbringing, the education, the nutrition, and the cache, but were unfortunate in the order they came out of some woman's womb.

ROTC at the Ivies has been effectively excommunicated since 1970 or so [0]. Though we no longer have these primogeniture issues, we still have all these young men and women, these scions of industry and politics, that haven't a chance at making fortunes like their parents have. They can't be 'normalized' into their 'family offices' and fortunes. It's very similar to the issues the Europeans faced with their children and the issues about land and money.

Maybe some of the issues that we have today could be ameliorated via a stronger use of the military as a place where these scions could be, well, dumped. Bring back ROTC at Princeton? Yes, I know, you can't have them anywhere near the actual command of people. But you could dump them into 1st Lieutenants and have them shit-n-stink with the regular people of our country. Get them roughed up, dirty, and friendly with the regular citizen. Get that gold leaf rubbed off them. Look at Donny's kids, for example. They've taken to hunting and big game very well. It's not too dissimilar to military life.

[0] Actually, as usual, it's complicated : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_ROTC

EDIT: Another good example are Princes Harry and William. Though they are actual nobility, they do provide a good example for the current era.
I've been remote freelancing for ~20 years. Some good advice in that post but I would add in:

1. You definitely don't need to form an LLC. I'm still a sole proprietor all this time and it's working out fine.

2. Personally, I'd hold back 35%+ of your income for taxes and expect to pay taxes every quarter.

3. 2 months of savings seems really low. People are wired different but I know a lot of people (myself included) who can't function with less than 6 months of runway when being self employed. It's not fun being in a position to take on low quality work because you absolutely need it.

4. Billing style really depends on the job you're doing. A lot of my work is billed hourly due to the nature of what I'm asked to do.
Good point, and it wasn't my intent to mock the farmers, it was aimed at the tone of the article which is like "this is a totally awesome lifestyle thing that you could totally do" while simultaneously pointing out that most of these people inherited their farmland and are still working really hard and in most cases barely scraping by.

No, I'm saying that the founders and early employees (most of whom made comparatively little) took an irrational risk. They had to go more or less all in on one company for years of their lives.

The investors took very little risk; they diversified it with tens or hundreds of other investments.
> "Society will be better off in the future your honor." Is only gonna go so far.

Investment funds are usually well-diversified anyway - so when society is better off, they are better off too. It's really, really uncommon for someone to hold a sizeable position in a single company or even sector in the medium-to-long run. So, even if you posit that this bill might "hurt Google" (and never mind that Google is in CA where non-compete agreements are heavily limited already - funny coincidence, that one), only comparatively few stakeholders would truly be made worse off.
Iridium appears to be using a vocoder called AMBE. Its quality is similar to the one of the MELP codec from the demo and it also runs at 2.4 kb/s. LPCNet at 1.6 is a significant improvement over that -- if you can afford the complexity of course (at least it'll work on a phone now).
There's a lot of food for thought here but I would just swap consumerism with Capitalism, even if it makes it harder to digest.

The other point here is that as Capitalism becomes more sophisticated it suffers from the Innovator's Dilemma. Thiel himself understands that a monopoly is optimal under Capitalism but then won't take the next logical step to see that it will protect that position at the expense of innovation. Why are US taxes so complex? Because Intuit (Turbo Tax) makes a lot of money off of that inefficiency/lack of innovation.
The idea was, it could run forever in an evacuated chamber? Else the idea is meaningless; the battery would decay to dust.
LLCs that elect S-Corp tax status (in the US) issue distributions and it can be at any interval you like. We do it monthly. The distributions are not subject to FICA(Social Security or Medicare) taxes, which is where the savings exists over W2 income. Outside of those taxes distributions are just earned income and treated as such by local, state and federal governments.

It gets tricky when your profits get high and the effort of setting up and maintaining an S-Corp becomes more questionable. The 12.4% Social Security stops at $132,900 (2019) in income so if you want to max out a solo 401K (assuming a 25% employer contribution) you'll need to have $148,000 in W2 income ($19K from the employee and $37K from the employer to hit the 2019 limit of $56,000).

So at that point you've already paid all of the Social Security tax possible for the year and the S-Corp advantage is greatly minimized as you only continue to save on the 2.9% medicare tax. That's still something though as there is no cap on that tax.

S-Corp is significantly more work than a standard LLC. You'll have a separate corporate tax return and use the K1 for your personal taxes. You'll have to run payroll as you as an owner will now be a W2 employee and deal with workers comp, unemployment and all sorts of other fees and taxes depending on your state (for example here in WA they just started a paid family medical leave tax on gross wages up to $132,900). Some you'll be exempt from as an owner/employee and others you won't.

There is a lot more to the subject for sure, but those are a couple of highlights to dampen the mood of the idea of huge tax savings...
Yea I think it’s extremely exacerbated inequality that’s a bigger issue than inequality itself.

Total equality will never be a thing, but we don’t need to live in Banana Republics either I don’t think.

That being said, without the Bezoses and Gateses, would people have that drive for greatness only to end up upper middle class?

Thank you! Currently it's missing multi-paths (assuming watchpaths only support dirs) and run-on-start features compared to when-changed, but looks possible to have.
I'd do the following:

1- Push as much expenses as legally possible to the business. Lease (buy a car on a lease). Depending on the country, there might restrictions on how luxurious the personal/business car is. By leasing you deduct the interest. So there is literally no reason why you'd not do it.

2- Only "pay" yourself the minimum required. That is, how much is your personal rent, food and other. Pay yourself that. Don't pay yourself from dividends. Make yourself a salary. That can be helpful if you are getting a loan on the business and on your personal account.

3- Do not pay dividends if you made profit. Always re-invest or suck profits on some way or another. This will make your tax rate effectively 0 but you'll notice that the government has always ways to suck in taxes.

I'm not in the US, so YMMV.

I've started a new job twice in the last 6 years working remotely from North Carolina (after already having been established here in NC), and not in one of the tech-heavy areas (RTP / Charlotte).

In the first remote job I worked nearly 3 years at a Santa Clara, CA startup. I've been almost 3 years at a large 10K-plus employee Mountain View, CA company now ... first non-startup in 20+ years. It helped that both jobs came through my network.
>>As a person from the lower classes, I'm fine that people live like kings and I don't.

The problem isn’t that they live like kings. The problem is they live like kings, and want to live like emperors. And their way of doing this is to put immense pressure on politicians and stack the system even more in their favor. Tax cuts are a great example of this. Who ends up paying for those? People like you and me.
I don’t understand. You were saying you didn’t have as much money as your nearest peers and it was hurting your social life and making you insecure, and they handwaved it away as privilege??

It is the same in the UK, dividends attract a lower tax rate. You can even pay a monthly dividend if you need the cash! You have to make sure that you are paying yourself minimum wage however, or you can get a fine.

Making your wife/husband a shareholder is common too. In the UK you get a personal tax free allowance plus a certain amount of tax free dividend. If your spouse doesn't work (or pays a lower rate of tax than you) then you can make a big saving this way by paying some money to them instead of you. Maybe they can get a job as your bookkeeper? This can serve to pull you out of the top tax rate bands, or at least pay the higher rate on less of your income.
More offical than a statement from Apple’s senior vice president of Hardware Engineering?
Strictly speaking there is a pay threshold, since there's a pay threshold for overtime exemption. The (more general) problem is, that threshold is ridiculously low, something like $25,000/year.
|other factors = intelligence, hard work, lack of bad luck like disasters, unexpected medical bills, etc

How many of those can you attribute to luck? Winning the genetic lottery is one of the best things you can hope for. You have no control over it, and it greatly influences your outcomes. Born stupid and ugly? Tough luck, maybe in another life.

I don't see why it wouldn't be legal, it's Comcast's infrastructure, right? If the public says "Hey Comcast, why are you letting extremists use your network to connect themselves to the world and transmit dangerous ideas?" I don't see why Comcast wouldn't be allowed to decide to cave under the pressure and disconnect me.
In practice Qi chargers have just one operating power, either "within range" or "not within range", so whether you have a case or not won't affect charging rate, but in theory RF power does scale with 1/distance². So you could argue that Qi standards engineers did have to limit our usable charging power because they knew cases would be used.
Right. The Pareto principle is the observation that large amounts of resources tend to consolidate in a few 'hands'. It's observed in natural systems as well as human created ones.
Surrender to the pressure, be a fish!
I think that many of these seemingly change-resistant folks actually would have loved to embrace new stuff.

The problem, in many places, is that they're in departments like operations that value "convergent" work. This means they're stuck with their noses to the grindstone at all times and judged on volume and consistency of work. If they want to change something, they need to go through an onerous process designed to keep mistakes from happening at all costs. There is NO experimenting in such places and the workload is such that it's hard even to get some interstitial time to explore new ideas, of course forget about conferences and 20% time.

The way they end-up canned or otherwise scattered to the wind is when someone way higher up in org see's that there's a better way and brings in someone from the outside to implement much needed change. It usually never occurs to these folks (the managers bringing in consultants) that they would not have had to do that in the first place if there was some value placed on innovation.
Unlike certain kinds of lottery, there's no reason to assume that "somebody is going to win".
I agree that its a problem in the first place, but as far as I'm aware, this is the first swatting death in the USA.

So dozens of other officers were literally put into the same situation, but also haven't killed the suspect. Furthermore, swatting is (unfortunately) more common these days than it used to be, so officers need to keep that in mind when they're called into these situations.

Indeed, in one of the other cases, the officers were under active fire and STILL didn't kill the man: http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/no-charges-man-who-shot-police-ch...

So even IF the suspect had a gun, its likely legal for them to use it on officers if they feel the need for self defense (if the officers enter unexpectedly).

> We shouldn't be using a force optimized for "takedown of fortified gang hideouts" for domestic violence cases. We shouldn't be letting pranksters deploy such forces.

I mean... yeah. But USA has rather liberal gun laws. At a minimum, officers entering a house unwelcomed need to be doing it with significant body armor, and under the assumption that the suspects are armed.

Because its totally legal for people in their own homes to use guns on intruders.
2 places:

1. Premium job boards. AuthenticJobs used to carry much more freelance work, but basically I'd find places where people had paid to post a job, and I'd do my darndest to impress them with my opening email.

2. My professional network. A couple of old contacts referred me to excellent agencies. Those connections still pay dividends today.

Hope that helps. These comments are giving me ideas for "Everything I know, part 2".
I started this article annoyed by the title, and expecting to be disappointed, but it was actually quite an interesting read.
Good list. I recently started being an independent contractor and a lot of the material resonated and there were some good tips in there.
ZFS takes this concept up one level of abstraction. You have a `zpool` which is a collection of disks. You then have "datasets" which would be analogous to partitions. One property of a dataset is a mountpoint, but they have many more. In ZFS different datasets can have different compression algorithms, different checksum algorithms, different log (journal) characteristics, different ACL types, it can also manage exporting the dataset over the network (setup NFS/CIFS for you), encrypt the dataset, etc.

That might give you a glimpse into why it's useful to split off different datasets. I might want to tune my database (/var/lib/postgres) for throughput, while my home directory is tuned for maximum compression & encrypted, while my public fileshares are unencrypted, etc.

Also it's often useful to have different partitions if you need different filesystems, not every filesystem is suited for every particular usecase. Also sometimes you're constrained by other software: for instance many older bootloaders would typically have very limited filesystem support; even today your EFI system partition needs to be FAT formatted, which should serve as an obvious reason why you'd want to segregate `/boot/efi` from the rest of your system.
There could be a Qi 2 standard that calls for many tiny coils instead of one big one, and pass much smaller amounts of current in parallel that way. Then you could cover the back of the phone with them and be able to place it anywhere on the mat.
Yes, thank you for explaining. I misunderstood the context of your question.

> We can't talk about this without talking about the inequality in wealth which is the biggest factor in economy mobility unfortunately.

That's an interesting theory. How does that work, exactly, though? How does wealth inequality squash income mobility? And if income mobility is the real goal, why are we talking about inequality, and not directly talking about mobility?
Apple's management has enacted a policy of not offering competitive compensation for top engineering talent. I've had multiple Apple managers express frustration with the company's inability to attract and retain top talent. I myself got an offer from Apple for less than half what three other top companies offered, and Apple was unwilling to negotiate.

This product cancellation and Apple's general product quality decline is the inevitable result of this short-sighted, penny-wise, pound-foolish strategy to keep payroll down.
That was a fairly ignorant comment because the whole idea behind a speech codec is to compress and reproduce speech in a manner that allows one to at least recognize who's speaking.

But I wonder if there isn't a gem in there somewhere. The essential expressive characteristics of a person's voice change much more slowly than the frame rate of any codec, and predictive coding alone doesn't cover all of the possibilities. There are also not that many unique human voices in the world. If you had several thousand people read a given passage and asked me to listen to them and tell me which voice belongs to a close friend or relative, I doubt I could do it.

So, if a codec could adequately pigeonhole the speaker's inflection, accent, timbre, pacing, and other characteristics and send that information only once per transmission, or whenever it actually changes, then a text-to-speech solution with appropriate metadata describing how to 'render' the voice might work really well.

Put another way, I doubt the nerves between your brain and your larynx carry anything close to 1.6 kbps of bandwidth. Near-optimal compression might be achieved by modeling the larynx accurately alongside the actual nerve signals that drive it, rather than by trying to represent both with a traditional frame-based predictive model.
Past returns don't guarantee future returns. The day before the peak of the bubble always looks like an attractive time to buy. I don't think SV housing is a pure "bubble" per se since it's single family housing in a region with strict supply caps, very high wages, and close proximity to millionaires, but its continuing rise is contingent on those conditions continuing.
That seems unlikely to ever happen. Corporations have always been better than artists at maximizing their share of revenue. If such a population started to develop, Spotify would probably lower their percentage payout.
