background: these were placed in strategic places, the places where an invading army would likely pass. So the idea was that invading army would be attacked by well protected soldiers. They are so strong, they'll probably be here for 10,000 years. Made of super-strong concrete with crushed stone as aggregate and plenty of steel. Might even survive a direct artillery hit but of course the waves would kill everyone inside. The sad part...a decent house might have been built instead of one small bunker.

There's so much steel in there that it is economically feasible for people to destroy them to sell the scrap. A lot of them met their end this way.

Good luck with this. I heard about practical TLA usage. There was hang up in python asyncio library related to concurrency and it required 24 steps to reproduce. It was found and fixed with TLA help.
Also, already in WW II the "normal" bomb shelters (also mentioned in the article) weren't effective protection to the methods proudly used by the British and US war planners:

https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/833665-clinical

"Increased ambient environmental temperature from burning napalm has been known to cause the deaths of individuals in raid shelters as a result of radiant heat and dehydration. This was a frequent cause of death in the bombing raids carried out over Hamburg, Germany, during World War II."

There's an "on penalty of perjury" clause in the law (if memory serves, it's part of a clause which must be present for a takedown notice to be valid). In practice, David often can't afford to sue Goliath.

I don't think I've heard of a single civil or criminal case under the DMCA's false notice provisions. It's effectively hot air.
As great as jetbrains is, I think Swift has much better long term potential in terms of FOSS tools. The Swift language server Apple is currently working should bring an open tooling avalanche.

In fact I think the high quality of jetbrains IDEs might actually impede Kotlin tooling development… why bother when first party tools are so good?

I would also add the situation with illegal immigration in the past few years...
Imagine earning 1200 usd/month, then after struggling for several years you manage to claw your way to a salary that pays 5000/month, only to find out you're being taxed at 2-3x the rate you were before, and you're really just netting 2000/mo

Then you go to work every morning and see a local hotel with 15 illegal immigrants sunbathing (government structures were overflowing so they started using normal hotels to host immigrants), and you're fully aware these hotels are paid for by receiving government subsides (funded with the aforementioned huge taxes).

That's just one of the several dozens of annoying situations you live with every day

Yes but turbofan engines have a much higher thermal efficiency than rocket engines. Specific impulse is one metric used to describe efficiency, it's units are seconds and the value basically translates to how long a motor could maintain one pound of thrust with one pound of fuel. (Alternatively, how many pounds of thrust could the engine generate if it burns one pound of fuel in one second)

The specific impulse of a Merlin engine is on the order of 280s at sea level. The specific impulse of the PW4000's in Stratolaunch is closer to 10,000s. Now the Stratolaunch 'cheats' a little by not carrying onboard oxidizer, but that's almost three orders of magnitude more efficient.

Put another way, the Falcon 9 and Boeing 747 carry about the same amount of fuel onboard. However, that same fuel can push a Boeing 747 for 16+ hours while the Falcon 9 burns it in ~2.5 minutes.

Yes, deferred compensation is also a good idea.

Right now, we directly outline the plan: for now, you will be getting less, once you start working on the client work, your pay will ramp up, depending how much weight you can pull.
>Outlier humans who can work more won't waste their talent/superpower at an employer where their extra time isn't compensated.

Yes and no. Some might compromise the hourly rates for salary, if it comes with fringe benefits - say, having an FAANG on your resume, for example.
Well - the example I used was set to 60 hours not 40 - which was a number that you used.

On the other hand are you sure that you are reasoning correctly? Have any of the companies that you have worked with failed because the founders have worked too little?

What was the least working that you saw? What was the outcome and the driver there?
"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

Unless I’m mistaken, the Cupertino package isn’t using real UIKit controls… they’re just Flutter controls skinned to look like UIKit and drawn to an OpenGL context. My proposed solution is built to use actual UIKit under the hood on iOS.
Very carefully, during interviewing. Until now, it worked, even though mistakes happen. It is not scalable long-term, so we will have to find something else.
It also helps that the SR-71 fuel was almost impossible to ignite. It couldn’t be spark ignited, instead they used triethylborane, an pyrophoric liquid that burns in contact with air. It’s also used to ignite rocket engines as its reactive enough to burn on contact with liquid oxygen.
I find that at many employers there are many technical controls in place that are not aligned with any kind of business goal. For example there is a lot of insecurity in software development resulting in enforcement of code style, code vanity, and requirements for unnecessary decoration. These things slow people down when writing code, bloat code, and then interfere with maintenance due to maintaining additional code.
Ah, thanks! That actually is better than what I inferred from the video.
Do you have any specific reason to imply they're not maintained? Most of those ports look like "Done" to me. When something is Done, then it's a good thing they don't mess around with it for no good reason.
These didn't have anything rational about them. They are literally everywhere- seemingly randomly placed in the middle of farm fields, etc. and they kept people busy and were a response to the ever present "threat" of the US and/or USSRs ever imminent attack. So camouflage didn't matter.

I work in finance and am sorry but you don't sound like a legit investor if you measure the effectiveness of your capital towards startups by work hours. What about their revenue models, plans for growth, talent structure and market niche? Why do you expect them to work longer hours as long as they have deliverables on time? Also, working longer hours may introduce potential compliance/HR costs (mental/physical problems due to overwork, people leaving due to work-life balance issue), which could be deadly for early startups.

> I'm sure that they do in the overwhelming majority of successful startups

You would need to back up this statement with evidence and show positive correlation between longer work hours and success of startups.
> If it was simpler to start a non-UI project

You can do it in one command:

$ swift package init --type executable
"almost impossible to ignite" .... "pyrophoric liquid that burns in contact with air"

Those seem mutually exclusive?

Do you mean that triethylborane ignites the fuel?

Only FPGAs have deterministic behavior, so they still have bright future. Tools is other topic, but they are perfect for this particular task. It makes no sense compare my 2 favorite IDEs: Qt and Vivado. Their purpose is very different. FPGA debugging is easy when you can simulate all your code before going to hardware. Hardware debugging with integrated logic analyzer is really easy. For hardcore projects you can take 3rd part logic analyzer that spits every event of the system over 10G Ethernet interface. Portability is the code depends solely on the author.

Edit: GPUs are nice and powerful, but they are big, require separate computer and lots of power.
Yes, they train full time. That's what a proprietary platform (not ours, third party, but hey, at least it has its own wikipage) will get you. Not even the build system is standard. Yes, they are paid salary. Very few people can afford to go several months without salary, that would filter out some candidates that proved to be right match in the end.

And that's the reason why the wage ramp up is slower, even after finishing the training.

> Well - the example I used was set to 60 hours not 40 - which was a number that you used.

So what is your conclusion from this? That 60 hours are too much? Or is it OK to work 60 hours (i.e. more than 40)? Why bring it up if your example basically confirms that my expectations aren't unreasonable?

> Have any of the companies that you have worked with failed because the founders have worked too little?

Yes. And I know a couple more.

> What was the least working that you saw? What was the outcome and the driver there?

15-30 hours/week. No product after a few financing rounds. Lack of grit. Also, very poor decisions.
I've had trouble finding a workplace that understood this. Even on the days where I put in 5-6 hours of high quality work I'd attract the suspicion of managers.

After that they typically begin to "check on me" regularly to make sure I'm not "slacking." This would go on long-term.

I have never worked anywhere where this didn't happen.

My experience in driving through various parts of Albania is that they aren't just in strategic places but they were everywhere and that in much less than 10000 years they will all be gone. Even in the couple years between my lasts visits (I was in Tirana and Durrës last week) was that development is coming and it wont be all that long before Albania will be a place where people talk about the old days when things were much less expensive and more accessible. I might be wrong but to me it feels like it's headed in that direction. I may be biased, I really love Albania and so I do hope that they finally have the time, stability and space to enjoy some prosperity.
This doc isn't new, but beyond that getting more details about the original hardware tends to make emulators slower, not faster, since they end up having to emulate more subtle details and quirks of the original.

Making an emulator run fast generally involves finding an efficient software architecture to emulate a piece of hardware (a non-trivial task since hardware is massively parallel and synchronous) and if you still can't get it to run fast enough you start cutting corners on accuracy until you do.
Things explode in a car engine all the time, so it's not really anything special.
As a doctor you are 1 mistake away from potentially killing somebody, which can easily end up you being in jail, your license permanently removed and life ruined. And lets be honest, most doctors have killed by negligence/mistake in their lives, this is pure statistics and reality that few want to admit. After screwup everybody just hopes family/hospital will not investigate and move on.

Treatment of medical staff, mainly doctors is pretty ridiculous compared to easy life we (most of us) have in IT. What I mean by example - the by far the biggest employer - university hospital is forcing employers overtime, nightshifts which are properly debilitating, and not 1, but easily 4-5 in a row. At the end of such a row, the doctor feels drunk and sluggish when discussed with.

Which 3rd world country do you think I discuss? One of the biggest hospitals in Switzerland.

I have tons of stories from friends of us - like cantonal hospital in Bern, where chef of whole department set up the badge-sharing system that forced his doctors to share badges over weekend with others who didn't work,so they could do more overtime (unpaid of course) because the Swiss laws prohibited them from doing so, and entrance badge system was programmed accordingly). You don't want to participate, good bye (also to your career in whole country). 2018 story.

My advice - stay healthy, just don't go to hospital unless you have to. At the end, just drop dead.
Then why not get them a computer instead of a dumbed down ipad ?! Tablets are not the way to programming, you don't encounter enough problems for it to spark necessity.

> Leaking fuel at takeoff sounds extremely dangerous!

The fuel that was used had to withstand fairly extreme conditions before reaching the engine to be burned, which also made it pretty hard to ignite under ordinary conditions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JP-7
My view is simply that native is practically always better - if you have the resources to maintain two codebases. The biggest risk I see is that you're running two separate development teams (Android and iOS) with varying skills.

On our last project, the Android code was of much worse quality than the iOS one (perhaps due to both tooling and Java null pointers; which can be attributed to poor development skills), so the projects did not match in terms of quality and sometimes even the way features behaved.

Not every company is using popular, widely available tech, that folks can learn in their spare time.

In this regard, unfortunately, we are using a proprietary platform and there is no chance to learn anything until you have access to the bits and docs. Due to that, fresh hires are completely useless to be utilized in any way, until they learn at least basics.

I get your point but actually it should go the other way round. If the owner of Google Doc is really focused on own user base only, the incentive would be to make it the most browser compatible. By making it run on chrome only, google docs is potentially sacrificing its user base for a greater purpose.
Why do people compare Uber to Apple, Google or Facebook? Why do people talk about them as if they were a tech company?

It's a taxi company. They have a web site and a mobile application, but so does several retailers as well as pretty much every bank out there. And no one is accusing them of being tech companies, or expect their growth to mirror that of Google or Facebook.

If you just look at the business of Uber, it's clear their current business does not inspire confidence that they will ever be profitable, much less deserving of Google-level valuations.

Sure, they may be able to become successful, but that would be on the back of a different business model. But then you'd have to justify why Uber would be able to execute on this as-of-yet-unknown business model better than any competitor.

Apple got public money from Small Business Investment Company.

Google's search algorithm was funded by National Science Foundation.

Apple, Google, Facebook and Amazon receive billions from American states in data tax breaks.

Tesla and Space X are heavily subsidized too.

These are just a few famous examples.

The American economy would likely be a lot smaller were it not for public subsidies of various types. Fanatic capitalism is based on a myth, or at least a massive exaggeration, of what private initiative achieves on its own.
You still had telephone operators 10 or 20 years ago?

The earliest telephone backbones that didn't require operators anymore are from the 1920s. Operators were still used for international calls, but definitely not after ~1990.

Source: There is a telecommunications museum across the street from my workplace.
The store closed years ago. I was working 7am-6pm for a long while and just didn't have the time to put in.

I still have about a dozen boards and a few components, actually. Look me up on Twitter (@philpem) or Mastodon (m0ofx@mastodon.social) if you're interested in a board, my usual offer is "beer money plus shipping" :)
Very cool! It can become an engine for playing board game online, which don't have critical timing requirements. Is it also possible for tui-based MMO?
> Only FPGAs have deterministic behavior

What? Calculations on GPUs are deterministic.
I see your point, but there has been a zillion attempts to do the Lyft/Uber thing and tons of money has already tried. The pie is just to big to ignore. So if hasn't happened already, it's not likely going to happen.

So yes, maybe a 'serious competitor' could try in some city, and as you say maybe 'word would travel fast' and maybe it might be possible to get a critical mass of drivers ... but then Uber/Lyft will just undercut them in a war of attrition.

To your mini-case: maybe there was a few other 3rd parties in existence, but you possibly never even heard of them. And even if the drivers sign up ... without the demand well there's no game anyhow.

It's been commoditized, so the advantage now is scale, brand etc. which the incumbents have, and they have money.

That market is done for now, until something comes from a different angle: new tech, new regulation, public transport shift, self driving cars etc.
Right, but 'first contact' situations generally call for both sides to be forgiving of the other side.

Theres plenty of time over the ensuing months to communicate your preferences.

FWIW I wouldn't say theres a particular rule requiring offering to buy a round multiple times, so I'd have have been viewed as tight also, even if I was trying to fit in with normal convention.
What you're describing here is really what Ericsson refers to when he talks about 'deliberate practice' (from the 10 000 hours meme). You correctly recognized that instead of doing more laps some of your time was better spent on deep analysis.

If we stick with the racing analogy I think what the article talks about is that you would've seen solid gains if you had tried to run a single lap perfectly, stopped, stayed in your car, and just relaxed while your subconscious got some time to process everything that just happened, without your bombarding it with new information. If you were to follow the instructions to the letter you'd hang out for a time equivalent to your lap time, but they left it as an open question if this mechanic scales beyond the 10s repetitions used in the study.

I hope they do more of the studies because the required time of rest could plausibly scale in different ways:

1. Your subconscious can only remember so much stuff to replay and learn from while resting so a break beyond X isn't beneficial.

2. The rest time needed is linear with the stimulus.

3. Long action sequences are such a rich source that the subconscious can mine them for a long time. Beneficial rest time scales exponentially.
The 10k year thing was a guess based on their strength, not that people will keep them for future use. But yeah, development is coming and prices are through the roof, not supported by local salaries. Albania is extremely safe, any killing is targeted at specific people. Mistakes rarely happen.

Again, they are not everywhere, randomly. Now roads have changed and may seem that way, but the idea was to harass an invading army. You and your father as soon as you learn the news via sirens and media, grab guns, go to a bunker and start shooting at US Imperialists ;)
