Not to diminish your experience, but a lot of your "calculation" seems to exists because of assumptions you have made. Isn't 9-5 the typical working day? Why does your commute need to be 1 hour each way?

I work a 9-5 with a 40 minute commute each way. That 40 minutes includes 20 minutes of walking which lessens my need for other exercise. I get plenty of time with my 17-month old. 6-8 in the morning and 5:30-7:30 at night.

On the flip side, my wife works from home and loves her breaks when she can spend time with our child. She is also often lamenting a lack of time for exercise and social activities.
This is a bit of a stretch. Jessie Frazelle might have done good things but she didn't create a lot of software. It's in a whole different magnitute than Carmack (or Cantrill for that matter).
Trust is a fleeting concept. If you used PIA only for the trust and not for the verifiable transparency, then we have failed you.

You can't trust some random VPN on internet. Anyone could have set it up.

You can only verify. Don't trust. PIA will continue on its mission to increase transparency and set a new standard and expectation in the industry.

With PIA, we will make sure you know what you're getting. Some may choose not to go with PIA, and that is beautiful freedom. For the rest, I'm confident people will choose verifiable transparency over blind trust.
It absolutely does matter... someone with a track record of success will and deserves to get the benefit of the doubt when starting something new compared to someone with a poor track record or no record at all.
"Color Labs, Inc. was a start-up based in Palo Alto, California. Its main product was the eponymous mobile app for sharing photos through social networking. It allowed people to take photos in addition to viewing other photos also taken in the vicinity."

I wouldn't compare the venture in question at all to 'Color'...
"Micro apartments", short term rentals, lower than hotel level of service. this is what we need. These housing restrictions raise the minimum affordable rent causing people to live with their parents or find roommates which is risky. And it's funny, because times have certainly changed and got stricter in regards to minimum livability. My mom's apartment in manhatten as a child had the bathtub in the kitchen, it's still no unheard of there.

Do i need a huge fridge, sink, 4 burner stove with oven and all? Not really.

I don't need a window in my bedroom.

I don't _need_ a private bathroom.

I don't _need_ a private kitchen.

>We are changing the world by fighting in the front lines with our PR as we always did [1]

You are telling me you did it for PR reasons?? That's not even remotely believable - look at the 'PR' you are getting. This was the goal??

>donating to organizations without pause or hesitation [2]

Surely, you have even less of a voice where donations go than before.

>and sticking to our decisions even when the world may not understand as they aren’t deep in the battle like us.

How are they helping you stick to your decisions? You are making entirely new decisions now, and corroding your previous. Are you saying they are 'deep in the battle' like you? What?
In Javascript, async is an optional parameter on the caller side. (Well, 'await' is, but I figure that's what you mean). It can be used with any function call, not just those that are marked async. Though it only make sense to use it with Promise-returning functions.

Alternatively, you can also use it with a plain Promise, which makes for a nice mutex. I've also used this for imitating async constructors, which is not currently possible.
It’s not a new trend at all, and it fills me with impotent nerdrage. Because sure, why wouldn’t you write a blog post in a form that encourages people to respond to individual paragraphs out of context? Makes total sense.
> Not much of a stretch with C, really - there's a reason its used to write operating systems

C is a terrible language for Operating Systems.

No modules, weak-typing, and full of gotchas and pitfalls — plus, it's answers like this that ignore the history of OSes: the Burroughs was written in Algol, Multics was written in PL/I, and VMS in BLISS (plus other languages, thanks to the design/architecture of the CLE).
East Germans got the right to vote in the 1990's. Largely as a consequence of American diplomatic pressure on the Soviet Union, I might add.

That's a very good question. What should we do in a future where one's sexual orientation could be outed by a government camera picking up a homosexual kiss behind a corner... Or by a private store security camera and a store owner who's an anti-homosexuality fundamentalist?

"Ban cameras" isn't going to cut it, because if you make it an issue of either-or, society's definitely going to choose stores being able to protect themselves over the relatively low risk of occasional homosexual outing. So we need a better approach than "ban cameras" (maybe the store owner is fined for sharing private information unredacted that's unrelated to a store security issue? Or we find out that that sort of thing happens all the time, so maybe homosexuality isn't a horrible society-destroying perversion that ignorant people were assuming it is?).

Its a biased population? Self-selecting? A track record may be 'somebody who was at the right place at the right time'. A track record of winning the lottery, for instance, doesn't mean squat.

A track record means, at bottom, that they had no disqualifying traits.
I work from home, a bar or coworking and I mix this with work trips abroad lasting 3 to 10 days where I get my share of social interaction.

Smart move by Zuck.

If Zuck had to choose one person whose podcast show he could go on, it had to be Tyler Cowen. Tyler is the kind of apologist for big business that you would be hard pressed to find anywhere else. You don't have to take my word for it, you can listen to this podcast episode on EconTalk:
https://www.econtalk.org/tyler-cowen-on-big-business/

Plus, if he were the interviewee, the P word (you know, the one Facebook employees pretend doesn't exist) would come up. Again, you don't have to take my word for it. Just do a quick search on the transcript to see if it comes up.

And lastly a recommendation. If, like me, you are now completely jaded by these PR stunts, you should absolutely listen to DHH excoriate Facebook on his podcast episode with Matt Mullenweg.

I've been a fan of CTWC for the past 4 years. Jonas is amazing and can explain his strategies very well.

My eyes lights up when a new CTWC video is published on YouTube.

I find the competition engaging. Its insane how compelling falling blocks can be. But that's thanks to the great community and commentators.

Seeing the sudden rise of Joseph (as well as the other competitors) just makes me so happy.

I've never really played Tetris although I grew up with it (I'm 35 years old now). Even now, I've never would have came up with those elite strategies to win this game.

But, now seeing these guys push the boundary of what can be done has me itching to learn this game. Who knows, maybe next year I'll be able to compete. I'd definitely like to see it live next year.
I’m still on haswell i5 for my home server. Still pretty powerful.
What is your point? Everyone knows cars and guns are designed differently. Seems like you are trying to rationalize irrational terror. Statistics show a student should logically be more wary of dying in a car wreck on the drive to/from school than getting shot at school. Are you suggesting our students should ignore math?
The flip side is that if companies are making less profit, there might be more consumer surplus, leading to more savings (which can also be reinvested in the economy) or a higher standard of living.
> Even on that aspect, I'd be interested in knowing how you'd achieve bidirectional communication async generators. How would the ASGI server call into the application and handle messages coming both ways? Surely, it can't just `async for message in agen: ...`, as that would only replicate the `send()` ASGI callback — what about `receive()`?

Yield is two-way. ``result = await agen.asend(next_message)` ` et al.

> Having worked and developed with it extensively for over a year now, ASGI is one of the most elegant and well-designed interfaces I've seen.

Having worked with Python async for 3 years, anything that asyncio touches is completely poisoned. ASGI is another in the line of terribleness of the modern async ecosystem.

> Besides, how would middleware look?

A second async generator.

> And you probably wouldn't be able to support all the possible syntactical implementations allowed by the notion of a Python callable

Require an async generator. Done!

> Also, I wholeheartedly congratulate the Django team for pushing the standard out there and driving the Python async web ecosystem forward. You rock!

Much like asyncio, something isn't good just because it's being pushed.
I believe there is a critical misunderstanding here going on; this isn't an argument against a "pure" robot, aka a mechanical contraption that can move and manipulate things, this is an argument against artificial intelligence, which people commonly use robot as a synonym for. Police robot tech is still manually controlled because contrary to the hype the cutting edge of robotics AI is still in the realm of not falling over when some dude from Boston Dynamics hits it with a stick.
They only issue passports to people in charge of specific projects. Of about 13k members there are about 500 passports, almost entirely held by their diplomats or their governance members.

An "I'm sorry" and "it was my call" are much more honest than the usual legal-approved CEO-speak that doesn't admit any fault, or justifies it with an un-provable statement like "many users have asked for this feature"
They must have defined the problem that they're trying to solve if they convinced an investor to fund their company right? If they want to build any interest in what they're doing it you'd think they'd share it.

But no we hear how excited they are and their fifty points defining what company they want to be. If the company's product is top secret then why share anything at all?
Yes, but Samsung’s latest nodes have faced delays, so they are slightly behind TSMC. I believe NVIDIA was hurt by this.
> However, the public European model is very misleading.

The phrase “the public European model” is misleading, because there are lots of European models which provide universal healthcare, and while almost all of them involve a vastly greater public share of all expenditures than the US system which fails at universality, in some, IIRC, a substantial share of that is through publicly subsidized private insurance. The British model is not the French model is not the German model, etc.; the two things they have in common is universality and not being as ludicrously inefficient as the US model.
Also, you are comparing effort it takes to set-up something, with effort it takes to use it, which I'd argue isn't entirely fair.

I thought you were talking about setting up some sort of torrenting/media server system with this part of your comment.

I agree, using a browser is easy enough. But, why would I when the AppleTV is already connected to my TV and I can do everything with a simple remote and voice commands?
It's not hardware, but if operating systems-level programming is an interesting compromise, we're hiring remote workers for the Wine project :-) It occasionally dives down to stuff like HID, USB, Linux kernel, and X11/Wayland programming.
I am not familiar with the US system. The problem in Germany is they pay a lot less then what it actually costs to "dispose" of the waste, since we dont have a method to dispose it. Hence the subsidizing, allowing it to buy out of the waste they created and which will likely have running costs for a very long time. The same could be witnessed on a larger scale when it came to the decommissioning of nuclear power plants in Germany due to the exit from nuclear energy. It was immediately clear that the to be collected funds would not suffice.

And we are far from just storing that stuff cheaply in a safe and secure storehouse we have moronic ideas like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asse_II_mine where we have to dig out old longterm storage.

This whole thread is quite revealing in respect to the fanboyism that is prevalent in computer circles. There's really nothing but buzzwords and two and a half semi-popular tech people behind this startup and people are going crazy about it. When was the last time you heard about people following celebrities in mechanical engineering on Twitter and applauding them founding a new company based on no substance?
I literally know nothing about their product, and it seems like both this site and the various blogs being floated (if not outright promoted, especially here) are about the founders, and not the product.

I don't care about the team behind it. Give me a tangible product. Or at least a sense of what the product will look like.
> Specifically, housing affordability is 100%, entirely, a problem of artificial constraints on supply by city councils.

Not just city councils. Residents, environmental groups, and special interest groups controlled by residents have a huge influence on limiting housing through legislation as well. Often places where housing is approved by the city are stalled in courts for years. City councils can control some of the lawsuits by reforming local laws but there is a huge number of individual residents who are willing to spend absurd amounts of money preventing people from building a new 6 unit apartment at the end of the block.
In the early 2000's, I used to work at a medium size public company and managed the firewalls and proxy servers. I would regularly tail the logs for my own amusement. The amount of pornography streaming into that place was extraordinary.

I was just referring to your 3 definitions of hacking... To hack doesn't necessarily mean to go particle-level or low-level, or learn something from the bottom-up or master some field.

And your first comment also gave me the impression that you think hacking can happen only at low-levels, like embedded or electronics. Manipulating and hex-editing a binary... I call it a hack, and congrats, it seems like you are doing it already.

Read (or watch) The Martian for one hack after the other, at several levels and different fields.
I find it interesting that your condemnation of unproductive ideological advocacy is couched within a hyperbolic rant wherein you seem to assume the privilege of having your words taken metaphorically and not literally ("every piece" of NYC infrastructure is broken, implicitly due to "Socialism"; people are "screaming" about the ills of capitalism) while simultaneously refusing to extend that same privilege to the people you decry. Whatever your intentions, your use of bad-faith argumentation practices reflects poorly on your stance and mirrors the condescending messaging employed by advocates of the obviously untenable status quo. I claim that your comment was written in bad faith because it feels both divisive and derisive and makes no attempt at offering a bridge of understanding for balanced discussion to occur.
Yes there are persisted data structures and databases built on top of them. The whole type system applies to persisted data structures so you can make your own data structures and fill out a few type class instances to query them with plain list comprehensions (e.g. btree indexes are defined and queried this way in some internal tools).

Eager Haskell with a structural type system, deterministic garbage collection, and no overloading penalty, that would be a fair summary.

It'd be interesting to see how GHC would do in the same area, there would be some significant challenges. I haven't tried to use GHC there so I can't say.
