Binary also has mathematical advantages over ternary, for instance 2 is the smallest integer greater than 1 (no shit) so powers of 2 are as close together as you can get in the integers.

Bitwise operations correspond to the finite field GF(2), while there is a GF(3) it's not nearly as interesting or useful.
Yes it is.

The business's legal structure is being closed and shut down. OP only has claim over how the assets of that legal structure are distributed.

If his partner goes on to start a new business in the same niche to do the same thing, legally and ethically there's nothing he can do or claim.

Over the weekend I was trying to figure out the perspective transformation in a 3D graphics package (THREE.js). 3D graphics involves a lot of matrix algebra, and so is ideal for APL. Here is an aplette function for creating a perspective matrix:

G m { gfx parms; left; right; bottom; top; near; far
left { parms[1]
right { parms[2]
bottom { parms[3]
top { parms[4]
near { parms[5]
far { parms[6]
m { 4 4R0
m[1;1] { 2 X near % (right-left)
m[1;3] { (right + left) % (right - left)
m[2;2] { 2 X near % (top-bottom)
m[2;3] { (top + bottom) % (top - bottom)
m[3;3] { -(far + near) % (far - near)
m[3;4] { -2 X far X near % (far - near)
m[4;3] { `1

Nutritional value's decent, in terms of vitamins & minerals and such. Calories being near-zero is a huge bonus, for those on an American diet—lots of people would pay extra to eliminate the calories from some of their food, keeping all else the same.

But yes, I agree, I don't really want a greens-heavy salad as my main dish for my biggest meal of the day.
> But read the memo. Away wasn’t “clamping down on employee speech” — they were dealing with a serious PR crisis. What company in the midst of a PR crisis would not tell employees not to talk about it?

I think they were pretty clearly cracking down on employee speech. Telling them what they are allowed to do on their personal accounts outside of work hours really rubs me the wrong way regardless of whether or not they are in crisis mode.

You were not paid to keep this code under wraps. You don’t owe anybody any favors. If they didn’t want you open sourcing it, they should have valued the code and bought it off of you.

Teach them a lesson. Release the code. Otherwise people will just walk all over you all your life.

An ordered map is much better as a default simply because it can do everything that an unordered map can. Choosing to use an unordered map instead is a premature optimization that is nearly always unnecessary.

> the only extra thing magit does is rebasing

You have no idea on how many levels that statements is false, there's much more than just the rebase:

- You ever needed to see branches in a specific order, sorted by committer-date?

- What about filtering them, maybe showing only those that yet not merged to master?

- What about ordering commits, searching through them, etc.

- You ever wanted to see all the commits authored by you that are at least two months older?

- Ever needed to see commits that only include a specific set of files?

- What about tracing the evolution of a given function?

- Bisects, have you ever done those?

- You ever had a stash that you can't pop because you made changes, and now you have to resolve conflicts?

- Have you ever thought about cherry-picking a specific line from a stash, another branch, etc.?

- Ever needed to work with submodules?

- Ever thought about how nice would it be to issue a Pull request without leaving Emacs?

I'm not sure when was the last time you tried Magit, but maybe try again. Perhaps then you'd appreciate how much good stuff people built into it. It's impressive because aside from a single (hugely successful) Kickstarter campaign and some small voluntary contributions, maintainer and contributors don't get paid for the fantastic work they do, and your comment in that context sounds a bit disingenuous.
Gray appears to be countries which primarily speak English (e.g. US, UK) and countries that weren't able to get data (e.g. North Korea)
It chokes when there are a large number of changes too because it's cycling through all the individual diffs that are initially hidden. I honestly wish there was a sparse mode to keep the initial magit status buffer as minimal as "git status".

I'm a homeowner in the bay area (been one for almost 10 years; and lived here for 20+ years) and I'm very unhappy with living here and am actively working on moving away. Most of my friends who are around my age (mid to late 30s), which include friends I made in college and early in my career, are also homeowners and are generally less than happy with the bay area as well; but do not want to give up the bay area tech salary to move away.

If anything, it seems like people who want to be in San Francisco for its tech industry are the ones who have moved in over the past few years and are renting, and currently enjoy "that city life".

Instead of categorizing the situation as homeowners being happy (NIMBYism) and renters being unhappy, it might actually be: Young, tech industry people are happy in the bay area, and pretty much everyone else are unhappy (non-tech people, lower income people, in tech but older people, etc.).
For a lot of people, going to college is going to be a great opportunity. Not many people can simply leave school at 16 for a meaningful job that gives top tier work experience. You need to live in the right area and either get really lucky or know the right people. A lot of things need to line up well for you. A bachelor's degree is guaranteed if you can pay for it and pass the units, something that doesn't need as much of life to line up perfectly for.

Within a couple of years of starting my CS degree, I was far better at programming than every hobbyist programmer I've met. I didn't have many opportunities out of school. I was from a poor country town that topped the state crime statistics. I know my mum hadn't finished high school and I don't think my father did either. I joined the military, got a trade and went to university at 30 as a single father working full time. University changed my life for the better, gave me a lot of tools and made me much more valuable.
> Because Silicon Valley is seen as a utopia for innovation

Is this really the generally held consensus with the public? I certainly don't believe this, but I work here so I'm biased.

I think most people think Silicon Valley is full of overpaid engineers churning out things nobody actually wants - there's a reason the show Silicon Valley was such a hit.

Also a fun fact - Mike Judge (creator of Silicon Valley) actually worked in the Valley for a bit after college. He felt like people here were just ridiculous - the basis for the show is largely rooted in his own experiences working here.

You should be able to put any binary into a docker container for cloud run.
Check your local laws too. In CA it doesn’t matter if they have a clause, they can claim ownership of your IP if you use company time or resources (including a company machine).

That said it’s a reasonable policy and easy to make a clean break. Some jurisdictions will let companies claim anything you developed during your term of employment.
The idea that a business with hundreds of employees can be run entirely through public Slack is shockingly stupid.

Sorry for the harsh words, but this demonstrates complete incompetence and zero business experience from Steph Korey all the way to the investors.

> why would the reading audience of the general public care about working conditions in such a random, relatively small company?

I think from the most reader's POV, whether this is a 500 or 500K-people company makes no difference, it's just a number next to the word "employees". The actual amount doesn't register emotionally, so the story is the same regardless of size. And it's easier for reporters to find a small company with problems, especially now that public displays of hubris are a somewhat popular startup marketing strategy.
Unless you’ve studied it, you might be surprised to learn that as a principal an LLC is not offering you the kind of protection you imagine. It basically protects investors. IANAL but was surprised myself when one explained it to me.

I'm not sure what it would be, but there's a lot of tricks big players used to use to manipulate markets that the SEC outlawed over the years. I'm sure clever people saw that cryptocurrencies are unregulated, dusted off that playbook, and are cashing in.
Housing is cheap in small towns. As I understand it, America has "Section 8" housing which pays most of the rent for unemployed people and they pay 30% out of their unemployment benefit. So are homeless people really just choosing to live in a city where they're not eligible for section 8 because they don't want to live in a small town? Or have they done something so badly wrong that they can't get it anywhere? If your income is too high for section 8 but too low for rent, then you need to move because your labor is worth less than your living costs.
It doesn't mean anything. It just is. My primary concern is human welfare, and I always try to argue, as logically as possible, in defense of human welfare, or at least the way it will best be achieved, which is an opinion. It means nothing other than I have a specific view on human compassion that I believe the Western world could have achieved.

Regardless, widespread education is of tantamount importance. It will give our society greater meaning.

Depends on your workload and how many TLB entries your CPU has for superpages. The Zen 2 TLB can hold tons (1000s) of 2MB superpages but relatively few (64) 1GB superpages. Older CPU models had worse capacity for 1GB and 2MB superpages. E.g., Haswell (2013) had only 32 entries for 2MB superpages and 4 entries for 1GB superpages (data).
Social norms work because there is self-regulation. But how does self-regulation work if there are no aligned incentives?

Why would trolls living thousands of miles away give a hoot about your precious democracy? They don’t stand to gain anything by following some “social norms”. In fact, you can profit quite well writing drivel to engage the communal lizard brain of a population, liberally peppering your content with advertisements.

So while yes I do think that we are in the middle of rapid upheaval, things will get much worse before it gets better. I wonder if the solution will look like Stevenson’s idea of “stream editors” - AI or even humans who sort through the constant noise to filter only the information deemed trustworthy or relevant. Then we have gatekeepers once again.

The cost of flying has gone down significantly over time so I would not be so sure about that.

do you not think the reporter put that in the story to induce you as the reader to have this very reaction?

i think her actions were wrong, but i also think this setup at the beginning of the story has nothing to do with the actual issue at all and was meant to turn readers on the CEO from the get go before you had even read anything about what she had actually done.

The reality is that many successful high profile founders, including Gates/Zuckerberg/Spiegel came from wealthy backgrounds. It speaks more to the power of a strong social safety net when it comes to entrepreneurship than anything else, but shouldn’t by itself make you hate someone.

Youch. Sounds like a cult. All work conversations in a channel where the CEO can eavesdrop and bust in for spurts of berating and micromanagement.
Of course, if that's part of the split (you take the code you wrote, I take the customers I sold to) then there's no future claim. The way I read it, there was no discussion of that, but maybe I'm wrong - after all we don't have much to go on here.

That argument works both ways, though.

An unordered map has the narrower interface and generally better performance, so it's much better as the default. Choosing to use an ordered map instead is YAGNI interface bloat that is nearly always unnecessary.
The three most important cultural cities on the planet at the moment are NYC, Tokyo, and Paris. Those are followed by London and L.A. After that there's probably a good fight among a dozen other places (Rome, Shanghai, Seoul, etc.). San Francisco probably arrives in the tier after that one. It's influential, and arguably #1 for tech, but it's on nobody's list as a top tier producer of cultural output.
Then it seems like the real need is for a better international enforcement mechanism. As cancerous as it is, maybe international copyright law could be an inspiration?

Same. The original duration of copyright made it tolerable. Although artificial, it's a reasonable social contract that enabled creators to get paid while also giving people free access to their works. People knew that the works they once paid for would enter the public domain within their lifetime. Everything created in the 80s and 90s should be public domain today.
I wonder if they were bringing the Lululemon exec in for another c suite position, then the story leaked (or was leaked on purpose to depose her) and they already had the right person coming in already. I could see that fitting either narrative not that it really matters.
I don't hate it, but given a choice I wouldn't use it. It's not very intuitive. I felt like I was wasting time trying to deal with it, and never exactly sure why it wasn't working, rather than getting stuff done. My next project used Trello (only for Kanban-related activities) and I was much more productive.
Human brains naturally look for patterns. Those patterns have a uniform distribution with respect to the probability of them actually explaining the data.

I remember pretty clearly when I first started seeing "the game", which is the politics that course through an organization like the wind through a mountain forest. It can be pretty heady at first, it is like wearing the special sunglasses in "They Live", but for me I also "saw" some things that weren't actually there at all. And acting on what I think I saw resulted in modest embarrassment and some awkwardness.

So with experience, I learned to take what I saw with a bit of skepticism and to figure out ways I could "test", without revealing what I suspected to be true, whether or not something was what was actually going on.

That test for Gruber was apparently the belief that you "cannot" hire a new CEO from another large company in the short amount of time that Away did it, so the "truth" (or what is "really" going on) is that the Verge story was cover for the swap and distracting from the distasteful element that a woman in technology was being forced out and a man coming in to replace her.

I don't think that would be enough for me. Over my career I have met with a number of executive search firms, both helping them to identify good candidates, and sometimes as the candidate they were vetting for a possible move. And that experience showed me that executives are just as trigger happy as employees are for the 'right' move. That is especially true near the top because the only way you move into the 'big' seat is for the person in it to be ejected, and that can be a slow process for an aggressive person. Watching Ed Zander give up on Scott ever stepping down so that he could take over Sun he bailed and went to Motorola. It's a common story. So for me, I can see that if you talked to the right executive search firm, they might have a couple of candidates that were already 'loose in the socket' as they say. But it also can't be a "hopeless" company, like Uber seemed to be when Kalanick was clearly on the way out. But 'start up founder can't grow into the role' is a common enough reason to slot in someone who has more experience, and if it moves an executive closer to their ultimate goal, not as hard to pull off as you might think. (I'll admit it is probably easier for CTO roles than CEO roles but still)

I am not saying that Gruber is wrong, I agree it is a plausible explanation. I just don't see the evidence as being as definitive as he does.
Wait this company makes luggage? And has such high valuation, how?
>more opportunities that almost any other place

Not true anymore - you can find a great job that probably treats you much better in virtually 48* other states.

I understand the tech bubble _wants_ you to think that any/all opportunity is localized in one specific place, but that's just naive and absurd.

*Except probably NY or NJ...because I personally really don't like NYC and it's fun to hate on Jersey...
