You're assuming that this was a rational, conscious decision on his part. I've had some dealings with him that would lead me to conclude that this is just his personal inclination. He threatened me & my company over a wholly imagined transgression (and ceased completely when our attorney asked for documentation).

Believe me or not, the main point is that working backwards from behavior to the thought process that led to it is a difficult if not impossible endeavor, and there's no reason to assume rationality in the absence of information to the contrary. I wouldn't draw any great lessons from this particular situation.
Honestly the I've lost my appreciation for alignment. I've been writing it like this for a while now:

And it's no more or less easy to read.
A good example is say you want to handle 100k TCP sessions concurrently. You probably don't want to launch 100k threads considering the overhead in doing so and constantly switching between them. You also don't want to do things synchronously as you'll constantly be waiting on pauses instead of doing work on the 100k sessions. So you launch 100k instances of it as an async function and they all stay in a single thread (or couple of threads if you want to utilize multiple cores for the work) and instead of constantly waiting on pauses it simply works on the log of queued up events.

Same code flow just it allows you to launch the same thing multiple times without having to wait for the whole thing to finish sequentially or wait on the OS to handle your threads.
The electricity required to refine a gallon of gas is 6kW, so add that into the equation on what I'm not responsible for emitting.

ICE vehicles are doing double duty on emissions but nobody's paying attention.
@pron: I'm not an expert in rewriting systems and type theory, but in the literature I have studied a partial function is said to diverge when it's applied to some particular value that won't return / produce a normal form (i.e. non-terminating), either because it will recur ad infinitum or because the applied value doesn't map to the function's codomain. One could argue that in a well typed program the latter shouldn't happen, but then one would require a type system with dependent types to type-check programs with functions like head : [a] -> a :)
An exception is just a mechanism that some PLs provide to indicate that the program reached such exceptional state where, for whatever reason, some assumption failed and there is no meaningful reduction to compute.
> well in most languages you can wrap sync into async. so it's not "hard"

It is not easy to do in a cirrect and performant way. "async" doesn't mean "code that runs in another thread". You can have a single threaded runtime running async code (that's usually the case for javascript).

The "async-ness" is in those cases provided by the use of non-blocking primitives for IO, network etc. If a function is making a blocking call to the file system even if you make it async it will not help since the main thread will still be blocked on that system call.

The performance will also be quite different: waiting for data on 10000 sockets in a non-blocking way is quite different from having 10000 threads doing the same.
Hey what's it matter when you're making $20/pop.

Interesting but it would be nice if the author would, you know, write up his/her own detailed analysis with replication steps and post on arxiv or something.
LLC's only need one owner. The liability protection is still there. The drawback to LLCs is their income is the owner's income. He must pay taxes on the profit every year, at his personal marginal rate. What's left after taxes is his, not the company's. He can avoid taxes by investing back into the business, but the company can't have retained earnings. If the company runs short of cash, he must loan the money back to the company (or find someone else to borrow from).
What do you expect "the community" to do, downvote anybody who speaks harshly about him? That won't stop it, and even if it did it still wouldn't stop 4channers with anime avatars on github from trolling him constantly. There is no community solution to Lennart getting his feelings hurt. That's not an excuse, it's a cold truth.
Well, if you expect them to work for free, on your idea, then I personally would not agree to anything less than 50%. Almost all startups fail, so I'd be buying a (very expensive) lottery ticket. Keep in mind that I could be working on my own idea instead if I could afford it. Very few ideas are attractive enough to persuade me to join.

But if you're ready to offer some salary (even if just 50% of the market rate), then of course 50% equity would be too generous.
It's similar in some ways, yes. As always, details and labels differ.

You are talking about mostly source code organization. Which every sane project does.

So of course it is unlikely there is something that e.g. draws pixels in the scheduler.

But for example there is still some space reserved in the TEB for GDI things. And kernel space code for graphic purposes related to processes and threads -- a kind of graphic "kernel" if you want. I mean: you just cannot take Windows and change all the low level graphics support code to a kind of WinWayland or WinAndroid. Even just programming raw NT processes is not officially supported IIUC, so you are bound to using e.g. Win32, and there definitively are some pieces of code all over Win32 (and not just in trivially graphic related APIs) which is aware of the existence of graphics related features on the OS.

So while it might be possible to recompile and/or rewrite parts of NT if you work at Microsoft to actually obtain a graphic agnostic OS (which is not even exactly what Nano Server is despite the re-engineering effort, because it is explicitly graphicless, not just graphic agnostic, and actually it now does not even exist anymore in a standalone form but only for containers, so you stick with your regular host kernel), that's not what I had in mind.
I can’t feel bad for the employees. They signed knowing they weren’t getting any stock. What’s wrong with Netflix style all-cash compensation?
Because money. Paying all of their workers even $1 an hour more would cost more than some well planted shills. Plus even if they paid the $1 more an hour, the voices condemning their working conditions wouldn't decrease anyway.

Amazon has a permanent image issue regardless of how they actually treat workers (it's not good). I think this is probably the most practical approach.
that you could have researched the subject a bit better before stating what you think it is.

You just defended a swipe using another swipe.

Your argument is rooted in terminology. Yes, in academia, AI means more than deep learning. Practically speaking, AI and deep learning are synonymous in startup land. And yes, supervised NN techniques are just curve fitting, and are not practical for program synthesis. Which was the original subject of this monotonous thread.
I'm honestly astonished when I see people in North America with tencent, wechat/wepay or alipay apps installed on their phones. Why would you voluntarily subject yourself to Beijing's censorship, have all of your chat contents run through a centralized server in the mainland, and have every one of your payment transactions easily tracked/monitored by Beijing...
This is one of those cases where I would have guessed this would be the case, but it's nice that somebody else spent their time to verify, since I'm unwilling to spend my time to do so. Also nice that they shared their experience with the rest of us.

If it worked, it wouldn't be published, or at least not until it stopped working.
For one, it makes it difficult for federally funded entities since the federal government views it as illegal. Also, lots of funding for state entities comes from federal sources.

I don't know why SF is so popular. It smells bad and is always cold.

Atlanta, for instance, has way more culture (rap, hip hop, country, hollywood) and diversity (of race, wealth, background, career, etc). The food scene is phenomenal - I follow people on Instagram to find out where the trendiest midnight pop-ups are. Music is everywhere. Art permeates. It's about as far from a monoculture as you can imagine.

I own a huge home in the city and pay less on my mortgage than people in SF pay for rent. It's a cool hipster place too - 1800s cotton mill with 20 foot ceilings. A couple of my coworkers have fairly large machine shops in their homes. Space is practically unlimited here.

Food is cheap, rent is cheap, but the experience and lifestyle exceeds expectation.

I work for a tech company and make the same wages y'all do.

The only thing that sucks here is transit, but I live on the Beltline and walk/bike everywhere, so it's not so much a problem for me.

I feel like tech needs an exodus from SF. A lot of the money for innovation is just being handed over to landlords.
This is the kind of thing it's easy to imagine anyone doing.

If you're a comedy or TV writer... it would probably never occur to you that this aspect of real life is illegal to reproduce on TV. (It certainly wouldn't occur to me.)

Seeing as this has happened to at least 3 prominent TV channels... it feels like the failure here is at a much higher level -- kind of like, if an intern wipes your prod database, it's not the intern's fault but the fault of your processes that allowed it to even be a possibility.

So... when did the FCC pass this rule? How did it make sure every broadcaster knew about it? Why didn't broadcasters add it to their content review process? Where did the failure occur?

I mean, it's not like this was a cost/benefit calculation the broadcasters made to try to get away with something -- it's obviously just out of sheer ignorance. So are the lawyers at the broadcasters totally incompetent or not being listened to... or is it the FCC's fault here for not ensuring the right people at each and every broadcaster actually found out about it in the first place and added it to their review processes?

> But really this is Google's problem, not Apple's.

I'm not sure we agree on what the problem is? If Google monopolized years ago, the story would play the same - only now it's the kid without Hangouts/Gmail. Sure, you're not locked into a physical device, but you're still locked into a service, and that's not guaranteed to hold true forever.

IMO we need a modern messaging standard that's vendor agnostic. SMS/MMS were good but feel ancient now. XMPP seems promising but there's too many extensions such that it's nearly unusable for the layman. I don't see an obvious solution, and asking the top vendors to collaborate on a common messaging protocol seems like a far cry.
Someone 3 years into their career at P&G can buy a mansion in Cincinnati, an IC5 at google probably can't even buy a 2 bedroom in Palo Alto without a few hundred thousand as a down payment.

2 people and a dog don't need a 5 bedroom house, but if one of those people has one of the best jobs in America and they can't even buy a house for their partner and dog in a safe neighborhood near their work, it's a sign that they live in a messed up housing market.

I get OP's point about entitlement, but I think the root issue here is the bay area's hostility to new housing.

I mean nothing more than increasing the de facto money supply by lending multiple times against the same reserves. The reserve requirement is a multiplier for whatever new money the Fed decides to issue. But banks don't have to lend all the way up to their maximum, so printing new notes into a fractional reserve regime is actually kind of a mushy and inaccurate way to increase the money supply.

Quantitative easing smells like Keynesian claptrap to me, but I'm not an economist, and it might be one of those things that works if it's needlessly complicated, only because if it were simple, the markets would immediately adjust to it such that it would have no real effect. I have a sneaking suspicion that QE is what happens when you don't have enough value-backed money left in the economy to pay the interest on all the debt-backed money, and all rational actors stop borrowing. So the answer is to create dummy debt and let people use it as the backing for the money used to pay the interest on their real debt? I don't know. That science is too dismal for me.
IBM didn't sell software until the consent decree forced them to, and Jacquard cards (or dobby patterns for that matter) are uncompressed graphics files, not programs to generate graphics algorithmically. Many machines in the 1950s used Williams-tube memory and drove additional visible CRTs from the signals, so every program was a graphics program. But that was a century after Lovelace.

Jacquard and dobby patterns were generally created by employees of the loom owner.

It does the scheduling for you. That's why all Futures put onto task through `async_std::task` must be `Send`. That's Rust parlance for "can be safely migrated between threads".

A property P is compositional with respect to terms A and B and composition ∘ if P(A) ∧ P(B) ⇔ P(A∘B); the equivalence is sometimes replaced with implication in one of the directions (this is a special case for a predicate, i.e. a boolean-valued function; a function F is compositional if F(A∘B) = F(A) ⋆ F(B)).

What you're saying is that proofs can be composed. That is true, but unhelpful, as it doesn't make proofs easy. All proofs work this way. Compositionality does (in fact, all properties that are easily proven by type inference are compositional; type safety itself is compositional). I've seen somewhere compositionality described as the opposite of emergence[1], which makes sense. A property is emergent in a composition if it is not a property of the components.

The correlation is that it's not clear that lack of a roadside cannibis test is the most pressing issue preventing cops from making our roads safer. There are dozens of things that could be better enforced (especially with more commitment to automation), but even "progressive" police departments consistently choose not to pursue most of them.
The CCP and the Chinese culture believes in social harmony and the good of society over the good of the individual. You believe in personal liberties over all, and you have implicitly assumed this philosophy to be the universal moral standard. Why are the Chinese the ones who are "indoctrinated" while you are the enlightened one?

I'd also like to point out that considering current world affairs, this is the worst time in decades to so confidently assert that democracy is the ideal form of government.

If labels were forced to actually push these into the court system a lot of people would fold and settle but not everyone... those who actually got in front of a judge would likely win the case, probably even being awarded by the court for the prosecution having filed such a spurious claim.

Right now there is no cost to labels for submitting these AFAIK, there at least appears to be no cost even if the usage would be covered under fair-use.

Some people have Chinese friends and don't realize what the app is doing in the background. I didn't when I installed it, just assumed it was Chinese LINE.

I had it on my phone for a while for a couple friends that were new to the country. They eventually switched over to other things and I forgot about the app. I hadn't opened it in a couple months but noticed I had been going through data quickly. WeChat, an app that once again hadn't been opened in two months and I talked to less than five people on a handful of times, had uploaded two gigs of data in that time frame. I immediately uninstalled and explain the reasoning every time I'm asked to reinstall. Most people have no clue how egregious it is.
> Meditation can open up surprisingly many doors when it comes to being more aware, mindful, focused and just at piece with yourself

"At piece with yourself" reminds me of Iron Maiden's album Piece of Mind. Which is also good for mindfulness and focus.
I got the feeling this was more of a case of "I did all this work for myself. Nothing useful came up, so here's what I found." The author may be ok with spending an hour sharing the findings, but doesn't want to spend more time than that.
I see this kind of comment from Googlers a lot, but either document your architecture or suffer the misinformation from people trying to understand it via reverse engineering. You can't have it both ways (I mean you probably can because Google, but you don't deserve to).
I wouldn't rely on that. Next step, someone binds to a blocking database driver and you are back at square 1 again. This is definitely not rigorous.

I would love to see a lint for known-blocking constructs in async contexts, though: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/4377

Also, having explicit imports and types that name collide helps there for once.

Good questions.

1. Our device does not detect CBD. It is specific to delta-9-THC. Our understanding is that CBD is not psychoactive and the police not interested in it.

2. As of yet, we have not seen any results from non-cannabis users on our device, some of whom were in the same room as our cannabis users when they used the drug. This will definitely be a focus of future tests for us, though. It would clearly be a huge problem if we returned positives from second hand smoke.
This article is funny because it starts off with an assumption that is the opposite of my initial perspective. Then again, it was also quite a revelation to me when I learned that a lot of people are not like myself and cannot stand being alone for long periods of time and actually spend a lot of time thinking about their relationships with other people.
Better question - where did they get a datasheet?

Ok - I haven't read the article - maybe they're talking about some processor where the manufacturer actually provides a datasheet. Most companies do. I think even AMD does; I know you can get datasheets for the ARM implementations, and most other embedded processors...

...but has anyone found any recent Intel processor datasheets (ok, maybe at this point they'd be several volume databook libraries - but you know what I mean)?

The last time I tried to find something recent from Intel, the most recent datasheet of any kind I could find (one that listed technical stuff like registers, pins, opcodes, etc - not just some basic figures and marketing junk), I think the latest I found was for the Core2 Duo/Quad series - then nothing after that?

Is there some secret trick to getting these? All I could figure at the time was that you had to be part of some program or something, maybe with an NDA - or an actual motherboard manufacturer or something? But then again, how would you write a compiler without the information about opcodes and such?

Now honestly - I don't need such datasheets. But I wanted to look at something "cutting edge" or relatively new (and really, the Core2 datasheet was good enough for this) - and compare it with old datasheets for like the 6809 or 6502 or Z-80, old-school 8-bit processors (the ones I grew up with) - just to see how things have changed (or haven't) and how "insane" things have gotten.

More like a lark for a laugh kind of thing that anything else.

It just struck me that I couldn't easily find them for recent Intel stuff...at least, not easily on the web (but again, maybe I wasn't looking in the right area, or there are other reasons at play).
Most productions use a recording of "room tone" to create a noise print, which is subtracted from the recorded audio to reduce noise. Software such as Adobe Audition have this built in.

A known song could be used as a time-series with a similar effect.
If you check out a lot of neighborhoods in SF you can really see this. The more middle class neighborhoods have lots of small businesses that you'd use - mechanics, bakeries, restaurants, coffee shops, etc.

Take a walk through an upper class neighborhood (Noe Valley is a good example) and it's either really expensive versions of the same ($7 for a cupcake? sure!) or weird niche stores that only the wealthy can afford (skin care clinics, high-end clothing, etc).
