Not a downer at all! You're absolutely right that you lose power by strapping a GUI onto a CLI. In Gooey's case, that loss of power is actually the point! :)

This is something that's called out in the main Gooey documentation, but omitted in this this guide: Gooey is made to solve the problem of getting usable software to non-techie people's hands without having to write layers of GUI code or change how we'd write software. The main idea that spawned Gooey was that it could act as an "impedance matcher" of sorts between how I want to write software as a developer (CLI), versus how end-users want to consume software (GUI).

> Accredited investors can invest $1000 and then get money back out of the deal if/when the company is bought

Scale is off though, any startup worth investing in will want investment lots 10x to 1000x larger than that. Any investment willing to accept $1000 would be a large red flag. Thus the accredited system IMHO is super reasonable. Anyone with enough capital that investments of 10kUSD to 100kUSD into high risk investments makes sense must have significant other capital. Meanwhile it saves the regular Joe from getting scammed out of his $1000 emergency fund.
In Neo4j at least the node ids are offsets into the node and relationship stores, so you are literally pointer hopping through the store files from node structure to relationship structure to node structure. No need for a hash table or b-tree index (excepting finding your starting nodes in the graph before beginning traversal.)
> That's literally what "stackless" implies though

You could have threads with enough memory for the base levels local variables. It would mean you wouldn't need global variables to keep state, but it would still be stackless as you can't pause execution within a function call.
With enough sites / privacy policies out there, even hypotheticals will end up in a real policy at some point (if not already). Is there something significant in the distinction or is it just curiosity? If the latter, I also share it. :)
No. Go uses stackful coroutines. This is more like an implementation of async/await in C.
You see, it's actually something that almost anyone will start to think about when they abuse ritalin on a daily basis for a little too long.

Remember singles? On records, CDs, and tapes? And then on iTunes? I’m not really sure there’s that much of a change here. A lot of artists have been always been releasing music this way, haven’t they?

The content of the article is an interview with a single artist, who just released an album.

It reeks of promotional material - and The Verge doesn’t have a great track record of being an expert on anything.
It's not a terrible business indeed. And I think the bigger scale can help here.

But it's also a very risky business, requiring a lot of capital, and it's not at all a SaaS business. The valuation was crazy.

This is correct. Soft double tapping the home button cuts the display window in half, to make it easier to operate one-handed.
We're all going to be fucked, when it comes to employment in twenty years, then.

The audio thread ONLY ships data from the circular buffer to the hardware system or vice versa--IT DOES NO OTHER TASK.

All you have done in this case is push the problem up one level. The interface with the hardware already works this way.

The interesting problem is actually doing something more substantial - eg. deciding which audio to play, or processing it in some way - in a way that lets you keep feeding that circular buffer on time, every time.

$1/user may be your fine, which can still allow you to turn a profit whilst doing absolutely everything the wrong way.

Why would they spend more development on security or privacy? The incentive isn't there. Your device being hijacked into a massive botnet swarm doesn't mean that you as a company get hurt. People still buy your toy at a huge markup, and the regulations in place won't even put a dent in your profits.

These aren't companies intending to go out and do things the right way, they're companies that churn.

The good players get left behind because they don't have a new shiny product every 3-6 months, and the bad players can quickly and seamlessly change their name and registration and just keep churning out horrible security-compromising hardware and software.

The consumers aren't cautious or knowledgeable enough, the regulations don't offer carrots or sticks that can make behaviour better. No part of the current state of things can encourage anything to change... So why would it?

I smell what you're steppin' in. It (especially in combination with flatpak/appimage/the-dockerization-of-everything) somewhat protects users from poor decisions that might be made unwittingly by application developers (who, rightfully, should be working on making the best application possible, rather than digging into the brambles of "proper" packaging. For smaller projects with a limited number of maintainers, anyways.)

That's all good and well I think. My biggest peeves will always be around its logging and whatever systemd-resolved tries to do.
I'm not sure there were many of these to begin with. I love albums like that, but I think most seemingly coherent "pop" albums of the past followed basic rules of upbeat/downbeat flow with a very loose "common" theme. That can be accomplished with a simple mix tape, doesn't really matter who does each track.
I’m doing this now too. I chose to be funemployed due to stress and burn out at my last job. I saved up enough money to be out of work for 6 months. So far it has been one of the best life decisions I’ve ever made. It makes searching for a new job a lot easier especially because 4 interviews seems like the new norm. I have also seen a VERY dramatic improvement in my mental health and I love being able to relax and enjoy time with my family without getting the Sunday Scaries. I’ve been reading a lot of news and it seems like Americans are at a point now where everyone is stressed at work and can’t disconnect due to digital ubiquity and pressure from employers. Not only that, but retirement prospects are looking grim. It may be smarter to pre-retire every few years if companies are going to continue to grind people into the ground.
Currently, the focus of the organisation has been on developing Governance, MOU's etc. $10M is basically seed to establish administration.

Right of first refusal makes sense, it still exists in Europe for publicly traded companies. Shareholders of companies that issue new equity can sell their rights to other investors, or exercise those rights.

But what we have here is not only that but also a prohibition on sale to an outsider. So not only "we can intercept the sale at the same price you offered to someone else" but also "we can block that sale even if we don't want to participate in it".
By any chance do you have any references or information on how to do this (adding a spin delay)? It sounds interesting. -thanks :)
>Snapchat’s philosophy is interesting because it’s designed for people who already know how to use Snapchat. It actually increased the social aspect a bit because most everyone probably has a story or two of being shown how to do something by someone else.

Very true. Just last night a person I've been on a few dates with showed me that they apparently added multiplayer games to snapchat quite awhile ago and I had no idea they existed til then.
The "game" (training) that asks you to analyse "privacy threats" is a bit strange. It feels like it takes two random excerpts from a privacy policy and asks you to compare them, but with this, it feels like it is missing some global information, you are just looking at local details.

Eg one policy might be disclosing what they do (but its actually relevant to collect data, eg password manager) while the other just says "no we don't collect anything". In this case one feels like its a better option, but its not exactly the same situation, its missing some context. I feel like this could potentially bias ratings.

I'm not sure if you could add in extra information with some of that global information, eg the type of service, classifying different "parts" of the privacy policy etc.

I've often wonder what the subtle differences to the human psyche are brought on by the use of medication like this. It's very difficult to imagine that it's so finely balanced that there is no effect beyond the reduction of adverse anxiety.

My wife has been taking it for quite sometime and it's sometimes a struggle to see how she moves past it. And while it is ancedotal I feel sometimes there are things that should bother her but don't and I wonder if normal mental anxiety is suppose to play some part in that. Hard to have any definitive answer but I find it and interesting thought.
There are, but based on the limited information, I remain skeptical of the study.

The example of a difficult task was to “schedule a meeting room in a scheduling application, using information contained in several email message”. Many of the other examples given are email related tasks.

If you meter and study Office app use, you’ll find that features like this are rarely invoked. For the example above, Where I have studied behavior on significant user populations, I would guess that 5% of users book a meeting room resource in any 30 day period, and only 2-3% do so more than once in a 30 day period. The numbers will vary in some populations, but usually you see 80% of the booking done by a small number of people (managers and admins).

The problem with this is that the study is looking at a narrow range of office worker tasks and applying them to the public at large. It’s an assessment of MS Office skill sets across the population, not ability to perform complex tasks.

There may be more depth in the paywalled study, but this article didn’t surface it.

Right, well-contained GC in non-critical threads is not a problem. Once you get it trying to scan all of memory, your caches get corrupted, and only global measurements can tell you what the performance impact really is.

GC enthusiasts always lie about their performance impact, almost always unwittingly, because their measurements only tell them about time actually spent by the garbage collector, and not about its impact on the rest of the system. But their inability to measure actual impact should not inspire confidence in their numbers.
If you do a lot of calculations while reading paper books, or while writing in a lab notebook or on a clipboard, the HP-15C makes a great calculator.

The landscape form factor, in my experience, is less likely to get in the way of my book or paper than a portrait form factor. Probably because we write left to write then top to bottom, and read the same way, and so a landscape form factor overlaps fewer lines than the same area in portrait form factor.

A phone calculator in landscape mode is not as good for a couple reasons. First, phones tend to turn off when idle for a bit. It gets annoying to have to keep unlocking the thing.

Second, without physical buttons it is a lot harder to operate without looking.

This later problem could be addressed if you made a physical overlay that you could put over you phone screen, which covers the key section of the phone calculator, and has a hole over each key. Make the overlay thick enough that it is easy to feel where the holes are. That should provide enough feedback to let you use the calculator without looking.

(Fancier would be to make an overlay that actually has physical buttons. Make the buttons out of something that conducts touch, so that when you press it the button touches the screen).

Maybe the queuing part. However the "work" (block, callback, etc) is typically dynamically allocated thingy, which can be quite expensive (and is a no-go for lots of embedded systems).
Depends on

1) how easy is service to cancel. Put your cancellation link online not behind a business hours automated phone tree.

2) how trial periods work. Send customer email 3 days in advance to notify them that billing will begin if they don't take action and amount of bill with an easy way to cancel if desired.

Some SAAS I think is always high risk, SEO tools, email marketing, adult services related etc? Someone probably has a better high risk SAAS list. Basically, can someone uses a stolen card, or even their own card and signup for this service, spend $10K blasting emails to people, then claim unauthorized?

Not at all true, many of the new rap scene has some very cohesive albums. Brockhampton saturation 1-3 have very clear beginning and ends, JPEGMAFIA's new album is a clean 42 minute experience. The album is not dead. Its just the audience listening to it

Edit: This expands past these two bands, I'm giving two small examples in a large field that I listen to. I think artists are leaning toward either singles that get tons of airplay or albums that get listen time drawn out because the album is cohesive. Its two different styles of listening,and both are being catered. You can have a one off single that one group of people love, and another group that can't listen to that single outside of the album. Streaming services have done a good job at allowing this to happen.

That sounds righter. I'm not a math person :/
I'm on mobile so it's hard to write a lot of detail. But here's probably the most straightforward way to clarify it.

Gasses are the same in principle but harder to visualize concretely, so let's think instead of a crystal lattice with impurities -- for example a doped silicon wafer.

I hand you a 28 gram disc of 0.1% n-doped silicon. It's got about 6e23 atoms in it, of which 0.1% are phosphorus.

That's a good statistical description of the crystal, but there are still a large number of possible configurations of phosphorus and silicon atoms that match that specification, but only one of them describes what you are holding in your hand. For whatever reason, you want to know the exact atomic arrangement of this particular wafer.

Fortunately, I've imaged this disc with an advanced electron microscope that has identified the identity of each atom in the crystal lattice, whether silicon or phosphorus.

How large is the data file that I have to send you? How much can I compress my electron microscope data?

Just like "abcdefg is less likely than kfbeksn", we have some prior information we can use to do compression. For example, dopant atoms are unlikely to cluster together, so Si-Si-P-P-P-Si-Si is less likely than P-Si-Si-P-Si-Si-P. That prior information is no harder to incorporate into the entropy calculation than it is in the case of passwords.

But such subtleties aside, we can start by assuming that any configuration is equally likely, compute the total number of configurations, and take the log base 2. That's going to be the minimum file size of the electron microscope scan. (I guesstimated 6e12 Tb but don't quote me on that). To do a proper job, we'd also need to measure and transmit the state vector of the lattice vibrations, but I'm ignoring that for now.

Ok, so that's for a crystal, which I chose because the electron microscope technology is easy to concretely visualize, and the state can be expressed as a string of Si's and P's. But an ideal gas is similar in principle, except its state variable consists of a string of positions and velocity values. We will have to discretize to some resolution to get discrete states, but that's fine. There is some datafile I could send you that would (quantum uncertainty aside) let you know the exact state of the gas, and with fine manipulators you could use that data to sort the gas molecules into different containers by molecular energy and reduce its entropy to zero. The entropy of the data you'd need to do that would be at least as high as the entropy of the gas, and upon clearing that data from your memory, the second law is satisfied.

That seems like absence of explanation is an explanation in and of itself.

If the bank can give you a straight answer, it's clearly not AML. If they start giving you no answer, it's presumably that. Id' expect if you were seriously in that game, that's one of the clear signs something's awry and you'd better start activating panic measures.

I'm also sort of confused about the concept of freezing accounts during an investigation. If it was late stage and they were saying "okay, shut it down, we'll be sending over the cops with the arrest warrant within an hour", that's one thing, but any sudden movement on accounts is likely to change the behaviour you're trying to monitor and document. The darkweb market seizures seemed smarter in that regard-- they let some of them run with no obvious changes so they could gather data, only taking it down once the case was completely built.
So much "research" is just people doing normal mundane work but they happen to be familiar with the process of publishing research papers so they do that for whatever they can think of.
