Even so, ~1 atmosphere for a gap that is order-of-magnitude comparable to current technology is interesting, and higher than I would have guessed. On reflection, there's a correspondence between the frequency of the light needed in fabricating features of this size by photolithography, and the cut-off frequency for the Casimir effect in those features.

The reverse version of this is pretty sobering: Japanese or Chinese person makes it to Canada, and excitedly goes to the nearest KFC or McDonald's, and gets culture shock from how run-down it is. Especially if they're downtown in a big city.

It makes you want to drive them two hours out to a small-town fast-food restaurant to show them that indeed, a clean and tidy KFC/McDonald's does exist somewhere in America.
There are some very cool demos, such as running Doom 3 in the browser [0], but as for actual good success stories, I'd be willing to bet that many teams just haven't seriously considered it for large or involved projects due to it not yet being fully supported everywhere, not an official W3C recommendation (at the time), etc.

Don't buy a new mid-sized jet then...? You can certainly afford a small, used private jet if you have $100 million. Not to mention a lot of people that own private jets rent/lease them out, just like they do with yachts, which can help to offset a lot of the recurring costs. I know a guy that owns a relatively small business and he has a modest private jet (as modest as you can get while owning a jet) and he certainly doesn't have 100mm. Aviation is one of his hobbies, which likely plays into his decision, but it is feasible
In Webpack the chunks whose content don't change don't get new file names and so the cache needn't be invalidated for them. Vendor code which is often the largest part, can stay cached over many deployments so long as the versions are locked. Of course, your host could still send no-cache headers and invalidate everything, but that's a problem with the host/cdn.
It's true, distributing Evil Corp information is prohibited and will be punished to the fullest extent of the law -- it didn't specify who would be in legal trouble, though.

I actually enjoy the hackers' questionable taste and extravagant lifestyle -- it's like Russian hackers are becoming self aware and having fun with it. They seem like they'd be cool to hang out with if you were interested in also defrauding millions from innocent people (which, alas, I am not).

Hey, small world! :) I hope that you're enjoying it, too.

Mostly I've just been using the articles and resources on the J Wiki. But I found it useful to skim through the free book, "Mastering Dyalog APL" [1] -- of course the languages aren't identical, but they're similar enough that many of the APL examples were instructive.

It would probably be an interesting article to delve into what accounts for the difference between the Bay Area's $227,000 median (which sounds about right) and the $400K-$500K that 5 years of experience gets at the top of your list. The difference is striking, essentially paying double the median amount for moderately experienced employees.
I've tried, but it's not worth it. DIY is more difficult, you need more than one mirror, you have to clean all the hair, and it definitely takes more of your time. I have the blades but only use them for the beard.
Video hosting is expensive, like really expensive. I started a site (scrim.tv) to try and disrupt YouTube for the reasons that are often expressed in posts like these and I'm pretty convinced at this point that YouTube basically breaks even in terms of profit.
Wow this is really cool, good luck to yall. A few years ago at one business the head dev and I brainstormed a solution to some issues we were having, and our result was essentially this without the phones, but no one had really done it yet or at least well. At the time we were leaning towards rfid instead of bluetooth for security reasons, (range sucked though) but the concept is the same.
> It would be hard (maybe not impossible) to access the DOM in WA without a GC making sure everything is sound, because the DOM and JS (meaning the GC) are very coupled.

AFAIK, the reason the DOM and JS GC are very coupled is because there can be loops between the DOM and JavaScript: the DOM can hold JavaScript resources, which themselves can hold DOM resources. As long as these loops are avoided (by not allowing the DOM to hold resources within the WASM heap), this is not an issue.
The worst bit is applications that prevent copying error messages, because they prevent copying all UI text. And then use complicated error codes. This makes searching for the error message/code excessively difficult!
I personally see WASM as a natural descendant of ASM.js, so in that sense I'd say its not really wrong, just missing a step.

I don't know that it's necessarily uncanny though either; ASM.js was already a thing back when that presentation was given, so the existence of WASM isn't really surprising. The real central "prediction" of that talk wasn't WASM, it was METAL, which hasn't quite taken off yet. (The idea is out there[0], but so far mostly just as a self-fulfilling prophecy).

Python has static type checking now, and has always been strongly typed.
Not to complain about WASM because it's great, but it certainly needs more compilers and toolchains, and it should be possible to make webgl calls directly.

Toolchains like clang and g++ should be able to generate WASM directly, I don't understand why you need so many things like bynaryen to make a WASM file. Having tools is essential if you want a technology to progress towards adoption.

EDIT: actually clang can now generate WASM. I'm not curious how feasible it would be to package python with WASM
I think this is a really neat idea. I am always interested by the being able to find my stuff items.

Although I wonder if having a lot of bluetooth devices will overwhelm devices. For example, when you're in a plane or in a hotel is not the time to pair your bluetooth - there are so many devices in the list that sometimes it's impossible to find it or search on that list. These lists are usually deep in the OS so they are kind of tricky to work with. Have you figured out some way to handle this? Does it not apply due to some kind of device type filtering? I'm also curious as to how many bluetooth devices one phone can connect to! Maybe I've just had a lot of bluetooth problems.
New Means of Subjugation: Giving Incarcerated People “Free” Tablets, Not Books
I know I'm just a random internet commenter and thus you could be forgiven for thinking I'm making things up, but I just got an offer from a smaller public tech company for a senior / staff level position making almost $400k in first year comp. I'm pretty confident that after negotiation we'll land a little over $400k. And recruiters at several other tech companies where I'm interviewing have told me they can match or exceed this offer. I think FB or Snap would pay more than $600k at this level, but I don't want to work for either of them :)

To be fair, I have 12 years of experience, 9 of that in mobile dev, but all of it is self-employment experience. Comp is just insane at the top companies.

> For a long time CNN was the "School Shooting Channel" and the "MH370 Channel"; call it bias or not, but it was definitely focused on things that seemed to get a certain kind of person watching while biting their nails.

And before that it was the Scott Peterson channel.

Personally, I think the invention of the 24-hour cable news network was a mistake. There just isn't enough breaking domestically-relevant newsworthy material to fill the airtime. IMHO, the only good solution to that problem is to increase the proportion of relatively mundane international news coverage or in-depth investigative documentaries. Unfortunately a lot of people aren't interested in the former and the latter is expensive. Instead the networks either fill the airtime with wall-to-wall coverage of stuff like the murder of Laci Peterson presented like it's 9/11 or Pearl Harbor or with wretched opinionating.

If I were king, I'd limit breaking news programming to two hours a day per channel, and opinion to two hours a week.

Nice! I had been thinking for a while on building something like this but that provided reverse PTR records, too.

Some providers like Tunnelbroker easily allow you to change the delegation for the reverse records for your delegated range: if you have the 1234:5678:9abc:def0::/64 subnet, they let you change the delegation of the *.0.f.e.d.c.b.a.9.8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1.ip6.arpa DNS zone or add records to it as you please.

So having a public service that responded to those (following the example, all you would need is the server to respond to 0.f.e.d.c.b.a.9.8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1.0.f.e.d.c.b.a.9.8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1.ip6.arpa with a PTR record to 1234-5678-9abc-def0-1234-5678-9abc-def0.has-a.name) would enable you to also make reverse DNS work for all your network easily, as long as you delegate your reverse zone to that server.

Unfortunately probably only Tunnelbroker and hosting providers allow you to do this - I don't expect any residential ISP would (they would also probably provide their own reverse DNS, though).
This product has been in the making for ~3 years. Luke from Linus Tech Tips used to be a video host, but has been in relatively few videos in the past 3 years because he was working on this. That's not to say those years were spent productively...
Obviously there's a trade off between unemployed hair dressers and users, who save money.

In dollar terms, I don't think it's fair to assume harm to hairdressers is greater than benefit to users, which, I suspect, far outweighs cost to hairdressers.

Congrats to the Supremes for doing justice and compassion by doing nothing.
The value proposition for publishers and for users was, and still is, a moving target. The beginning of ads in search results, in timelines, were promised to be ‘small, unobtrusive, text-based ads’ that didn’t take away from the organic results and content. But this began a race to the bottom. It was a slow burn — boiling the frog. What we have now is drastically different then the promises that we’re made a decade ago. That’s why I call it a bait and switch.

> may not be about the flag itself so much as it is about asserting that Southerners have a right to be treated with respect

This seems extremely generous, and doesn’t match my impression of supporters of the confederate flag I have seen or heard about, many of whom live outside the former confederate states and have nothing to do with the South culturally.

There is a demand to be heard/respected involved, but the demand as far as I can tell is for recognition of white racial superiority and white social hegemony as a legitimate political ideology (which goes hand-in-hand with an implicit threat to non-whites), rather than anything about geography per se.

There’s also a strong element of defiance of what is seen as a subversive culture of pluralism and mutual respect, along the lines of: “I know this symbol is offensive to you, but I declare my right to wave it in your face because you can’t stop me.” This kind of militant offensiveness is attractive to the same sorts of people who “roll coal” to stick it to environmentalists. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_coal
> Torrents provide a lot of this funcitonality

Plenty of companies have tried to build peer-to-peer CDNs (including Bittorrent, Inc. itself). They have all failed.

P2P doesn't work well on mobile, ISPs get super upset about seeding from residential connections (and often use boxes to traffic shape it), there is no programatic way to determine if even a residential line is on a pay-per-use plan, and in general consumers don't like you using "their bandwidth."
As an employee at a megacorp, sure, you can see a little bit about how things are going from the inside. That said, you probably spend less time looking at reports than professional analysts. Secondly, sure, maybe you can see how great your company is, but do you have a frame of reference to a million other companies and their projects and cultures? There's a strong bias towards thinking you know more than the market that I would be wary of.

I think "native" web-tech like JavaScript & HTML will still have a lot of momentum in it. WASM is about other languages getting access to browser as a delivery platform. I wonder if language JavaScript that was originally designed to run on the web should have a competitive edge here?

The drawback of JavaScript has so far been its low execution speed, maybe WASM will make it run faster.

In other words maybe WASM will not be the downfall of JavaScript but its uplift.

I've seen The Master & Margarita mentioned a few times in this thread and for anyone who might pick it up, you'll want to familiarize yourself with popular historical Christian names and events first.

I was not raised Catholic and was a bit lost reading through some of it because I had no idea who some of the characters were or what the references meant. Made for some fun conversations with my girlfriend who read it first and was familiar with all those names and their historical context.

It was a fun book to read though. Got a bit boring for a while but the ending is great so I'm glad I stuck with it.

I have been seeing a lot of hype around "Range", I read it and thought it was good but I felt like he just took ideas from other good books and combined them into his work.
The percentage paid as interest of the budget seems to be increasing. Current forecasts put it at over 12% by 2023. That's double what it was in 2016. At that point it'll rival US military spending in size. When would you say it becomes a problem? Does it have to become the highest cost item on the budget? The government is borrowing money that future taxpayers have to bear the burden of. Does the return on that extra spending outpace the servicing cost?

>Who would be most alarmed by a true “debt problem”? The bond-holders, one presumes.

That's only the case if the problem was that the US wasn't going to pay back its debt. The problem is that future generations are responsible for paying back the debt, not the current generations. This means that the people potentially most affected by this aren't even born yet.

Hey David here from Got-it. We've tested about 1500 in super close proximity (all in the same box) and that works well.

Three further points here:

1) We don't rely on forming Bluetooth connections (which require handshake signals every 20ms) which allows us to have significantly more BLE devices than some other solutions.

2) Only a small percentage of radio events need to be picked up for the solution to work.

3) The offering is a B2B one where typically there are multiple people at work all with smartphones that are able to pick up the signals. This further increases the probabilistic chance of picking up multiple labels.

Our labels are printable (check out the image link to see what that looks like). No promises but the next generation should come portfolio stacked and ready to be fed into a thermal label printer.

On the other hand, it will outlast many mass-produced low-end laptops made of the cheapest of components.

Also, these 300 eur laptops are not something I'd consider for everyday work. Way underspecced for a lot of stuff, and generally miserable to work with or carry around.
A nice hidden gem in this ruling - the supreme court didn't refute or counter the 9th circuit court's statement to the effect of

> The 9th Circuit noted that those facilities could still refuse to shelter homeless people who exceed limits of the number of days they can stay or who object to mandatory religious programs.

It'd be quite problematic for folks to be jailed for refusing mandatory religious programs - even if those people were homeless. I'm happy to see that this group of people managed to stand up for their rights against Boise - and maybe the city just needs to put out a bit more money toward health and safety by supplying adequate secular shelter options[1].

It appears to be adding up a lot of different things into one number:

- base salary (cash)

- sign-on bonus (typically a large one-time equity grant that vest over 3-4 years)

- a raise each year (cash)

- an accompanying equity grant (which also vests over 3-4 years)

Where the whole thing seems weird to me is that they seem to be comparing pre-IPO options/RSUs to actual stocks as if they were apples-to-apples. This matters because the fraction of an amount that is attributable to equity is typically large (sign-on total value is a few times the amount of base salary for a year, for example, so I wouldn't be surprised if these numbers were 50-75% equity)

Very low effort post.
There was no circuit split here and the status quo did not involve any pressing constitutional controversy or original jurisdiction, so it was unlikely they would grant cert (take the case). The law as it stood was protecting a right that may or may not exist, but the court is unlikely to weigh in on lower courts creating rights or interpretations of rights that enable individuals.

Had the lower court's decision involved criminalizing hundreds of thousands of people's daily lives, that might create the sort of controversy the court would consider vital to resolve.
