the BBC News website also ran a story about protests and counter protests at Queensland today. it included a couple of interesting video links with some clashes between individual protesters. but it didn't get as violent as the "far right vs. antifa" clashes that typically happen in places like Portland, OR or Berkeley, CA. I didn't see anyone hitting anyone else with sticks, like what happened in HK itself.
Java was used as an example of strongly typed taken to the extreme. Something YOU can relate to, as a TypeScript user. In terms of verbosity, the difference between Java and TypeScript is like the difference between TypeScript and JavaScript.
> The more levels of nesting you have in the Tree Notation file, the more of the file's space is ... well white space characters. JSON doesn't have this problem, as spaces are not crucial to the structure of the data.

This is a good thought, and a theoretical problem I used to think about, but in practice it hasn't really come up. In practice what has happened, is that anytime things started getting deeply nested, it was a sign that the Tree Language should be refactored so things could be made flatter.

> This means that although there's less characters, you cannot minify the Tree Notation, like you can with JSON (as indentation is crucial for representation in the tree)

The other thing to keep in mind that JSON is almost always GZIPPED before it is actually sent over the wire, and the compression characteristics of zipping/minifying TN are as good (if not better--I hope someone some day will do the research here), than JSON.
Once did a project like this that grabbed Seattle's realtime data for some bus stops around my place. It was an old Windows CE PocketPC thingy, so the tools were primitive (.NET compact framework 1.0, basically).

Maybe a bit too primitive. It worked pretty well for about a year, until I found that the CompactFlash WiFi adapter was only 802.11b and there was nothing newer available that was compatibility with the PocketPC. It ended up being a choice between keeping the gadget running, or being able to run my WiFi network at 802.11g speeds with modern (WPA) security, so the latter won out.
If you're criticizing the title of the patent or the general field of the invention, then you're missing the point. The scope of the patent is determined by the claims at the end. Those claims are drafted narrowly and only claim what is novel and non-obvious over the prior art, because if they were not then the examiner would not allow the patent. If the claims are non-novel or obvious, then the defendants will quickly challenge the validity of the patents and the case will be over.
I think you'd need to experience the flow of a place like Pivotal before passing judgement. I find it interesting that you've immediately jumped to "good vs. bad engineers". The mindset at Pivotal tends to be that all engineers are equal. There is no good or bad. This is why they rotate pairs.

Checking in with a pair isn't a status update, it's really about collaboration and visibility. Estimates are often wrong, assumptions get tested, the team dynamic is "let's ensure we all understand this".

Stories in tracker tend to be <1 day, so checking in occasionally isn't exactly a wrong thing (every half day to me is excessive), so priorities can be shifted, or big stories can be broken up.

If you first ask why CO2 in the atmosphere is a problem, then you'll find the answer. It's the same time scale at which the change in atmospheric CO2 is a problem. It's only a problem because it's changing rapidly. It would be OK if it happened slowly enough for species to adapt or at least for human activity to adapt without too much disruption to our daily lives. Ultimately, it's rapid disruption to our daily lives we don't want. We don't want to have to move somewhere else, have less spending power of our wages, get a different job, or change our eating habits. But if it happens gradually generation by generation, so we hardly notice it, then it'll be OK.
Without advertising being a crucial part of that environment, they'd have to focus on making a better and cheaper product than their competition, instead of engaging in a shouting match.
Smart dealers don't "advertise". They communicate their available goods to individuals who are already looking and who pass a basic smell test. While on vacation a few years ago, I went out at night to see if I could find some plant matter, and passed a guy on the street who looked like he might know the score. (Being present at a particular time/place to serve a market and dressing in a non-official manner is not advertising). So I said "got any green?" and he said "no...white?" and I said "ah, no thanks" and moved along. No advertising required.
I use an adblocker, so the revenue from me is lower than it'd be otherwise.
The problem with that strategy in the real world is that as a manager, if your team is working 60hr weeks they're probably creating 60hr of work for you. Sure you can ignore it but then you'll be the bottleneck and 60hr workweeks will become 30hr of work and 30hr of shitposting on HN. It's rarely sustainable to work less than everyone who's work makes you work. If you want to be a slave driver you need to keep up with the slaves.

This was Article 22850 of comp.arch. What's the best way to search Usenet these days?

Searching for snippets of this text in Google groups came up with some of the reposts, the earliest from 1993. But the original, which must predate that, didn't show up at all when I searched for it. That seems terrible. Moreover, the interface is poor. This invaluable historical material ought to be a far more available than it is.

You could also estimate hours needed and pay candidates who complete the task at your average hourly rate for the position you are hiring.

The risk is that you might get numerous crappy submissions just trying to leech off of it, but if you introduce a blind "enough effort expended" test, perhaps you could pull it off.
What's odd about the "agile" companies, is that while you are a designer or engineer in product mode, you're not supposed to attend any meetings beyond daily standup, weekly IPM, and weekly retro... Maybe the odd town hall. Maybe the odd inception day or cross-team retro every few months for a major new initiative. But that's about it. PMs do attend other meetings mostly as a liaison to the outside world, because that's the gig, but even then, it tends to be limited.

The whole point (at least at Pivotal) is to spend more time coding/designing/testing and not in meetings.

The original hypothesis was based on the existent resistor, capacitor, and inductor. The memristor would complete the symmetry between these components and the underlying physics.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memristor#Background

And I'm going to assume GP is basically referring to the first paragraph of the next session regarding definition and criticism:

According to the original 1971 definition, the memristor was the fourth fundamental circuit element, forming a non-linear relationship between electric charge and magnetic flux linkage. In 2011, Chua argued for a broader definition that included all 2-terminal non-volatile memory devices based on resistance switching.[2] Williams argued that MRAM, phase-change memory and ReRAM were memristor technologies.[21] Some researchers argued that biological structures such as blood[22] and skin[23][24] fit the definition. Others argued that the memory device under development by HP Labs and other forms of ReRAM were not memristors, but rather part of a broader class of variable-resistance systems,[25] and that a broader definition of memristor is a scientifically unjustifiable land grab that favored HP's memristor patents.[26]

Without advertising, no matter how good your product is, people will never find you. People would just go with whatever product they happened to know (the market incumbent, usually), or just not have access to that category of product.
The money itself doesn't vanish obviously, but the work does magically vanish, in the form of human consumption. The sheer amount of useful energy and resources required to feed those people, power their computers, etc. is being "burned" in the same sense that bitcoin mining "burns" something. It's millions of hours of work for simply redistribution of demand.

Bill Gates could pay 10000 people $10/hour to dig a hole and 10000 people $10/hour to fill the hole back with dirt. Obviously this money doesn't "vanish", but millions of hours are wasted (and the food and resources needed to power this work).

I have two comments to make about this proposaL:

1. The type should indicate a generic, not a new syntax. This is better because it is easier to parse for the human eye. For example:

func Reverse(first _T, second _T)

2. Since all of what generics are is a compile-time code generator, I suggest that Golang forces developers to explicitly list what types are using the generic:

generics(Add) = {int, string, car, food}
func Add(first _T, second _T)

This list can be added to, after importing the package:

Import “thing”

generics(thing.Add) += {stuff}

This makes code very explicit about its generic functions. It also allow readers to understand exactly where the function is used.
How is your suggestion not equivalent to "be familiar with full semantics of C# generics"? How does that help me with being productive using Go's implementation of generics, which has fundamentally different type system and syntax to begin with?

> they are in the eyes of the law nothing but a patent troll.

Patent troll is merely a term used by critics of the patent system for inventors or patent owners whose actions they disagree with. It is not term that is used anywhere in the law itself.

Indeed. See Dota 2.
If they merely existed but didn’t engage in advertising, you could advertise and, consequently, outperform them. But they all know this too. This is the game theory I’m alluding to. It’s a Prisoners Dilemma except with added externalities in the cases where anyone advertises at all.

Now, how does the prisoners dilemma get solved? External enforcement. In advertising that might entail laws and regulations to curtail advertising. These laws and regulations may be net positive to the erstwhile advertisers themselves in this scenario. (The equivalent mechanism in the actual prisoners dilemma is that snitches get stitches.)
If that's the case, why does a flight from SFO-JFK cost way less than a flight from JFK-LHR in business class? Approximately the same distance, approximately the same cost basis. Dramatically more competition between JFK and LHR. It's not always about competition or cost basis.

In the 60s/70s, an EE/CS guy named Leon Chua did some clever math that suggested we could build transistor-like devices that had a non-linear relationship between charge and flux and called it a memristor. He didn't build one, and as far as I know it's not something he's spent all that much time on since.

In the 90s somebody at HP must have mentioned memristors in hearing range of their marketing department and suddenly HP was going to have a product to market in a few years.

Yeah. Never happened. Nobody's done it.

In theory, such a device could allow us to do things like build extremely low power non-volatile memory (a flash replacement, basically). A lot of marketing hype has talked about completely replacing computer RAM with non-volatile memristor-backed memory, but again, neither it nor anything like it has happened. But as it turns out, battery-backed DRAM covers a multitude of sins anyway.

The actual debate over physical possibility is because it's too low-power, to the point that an actual implementation might violate lower theoretical limits on the amount of energy required to change the state of a bit. In other words, it might violate the second law of thermodynamics, which is something of a problem.
> If you expect income, you're not really looking to build a free product, are you?

You hit it right on the nose. I'd rather pay not to have strings attached than get something free with hidden other costs.
To me, "back country" can mean many things, down to no trail and essentially no services. For example, when we backpacked in Denali many years ago, all we had for toilets were the shovels and biodegradable toilet paper we brought. Very different from camping next to your car and having a restroom with running water nearby.
Scroll snap is a useful feature. The way you can tell that it's useful is because a ton of sites are already doing it, but in a manual, hacky way with JavaScript. This works better and uses less code and CPU. A win all round.
When I was in college, I took an English class with a professor that had very strong ideology; our readings reflected that. In our writings on what we read, getting an A was easy: "toe the party line". Once I had a A for the semester pretty much locked down, I took the opposite position in my final paper. C.

Even when you can defend your perspective, when the position of authority wields power, you're disincentivized by the system.
I can't think of a popular OO language where they are considered a crazy experimental feature. One historical reason for a certain reticence early on was people were unhappy with C++ templates.
I don't think that's necessarily true. If you and I both enjoy escape rooms, but we aren't friends/don't have a way of contacting each other about it, one of us won't hear about something that would bring us value. Good advertising would take out the roll of the dice that comes with social networks.

The Antarctic continent as a whole has a range of possibilities for the traveler. I was there in January on a "regular cruise ship" (Celebrity Eclipse) that passed along the West coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. Muster drill on the first day (sailing out of Buenos Aires) had a different feature, an explanation of the special evacuation gear that would be available in case we had an extremely sudden need to stay warm outdoors. We did not get out of the ship in Antarctica, because the conservation group that regulates this rules that ships the size of Eclipse cannot disembark passengers onto Antarctica. One can always choose cruises from several other cruise lines that have ca 200 passenger capacity. These ships drop anchor and allow passengers to kayak over, or else take a leisurely Zodiac ride. There might even be a polar plunge. And finally, there are a handful, or more, Russian-made and Russian-crewed ships available which range to the other shores besides the ostensibly friendly Peninsular coast. One or two of these has a small hangar for really small helicopters. I could provide more detail but I'm not a travel agent and what I want to do is give an idea of how "normal" it is to go to Antarctica and do your wedding on an ice floe.

This research expedition cruise was not the normal deal in the tourism industry.

Overhead from distributing taxes -- makes people poorer on average.

I see how some taxes (such as gasoline tax for building roads) can have outsized advantages that are bigger than the tax distribution overhead. But carbon tax does NOT have advantages like that. At least not yet, considering that too much of the Earth land is too cold.
