He's a model CEO, speaks 5-6 languages fluently and very successfully ran two major car companies at the same time. How do you not write a story about him?
You are right. Solution: keep your boots simple and documented. Try them from time to time too.

I assume some common formats do not change, but it is good to keep some side-notes how to run the thing and what hardware to emulate.

I use Linux because it is open source and boots with broadest hardware range possible - I am sure it will run on emulator of 2010-most popular PC platform in few decades.

I hesitate to answer this because I feel like 'arcfide's explained this much better than I can in one of his talks so maybe he'll see this and can point you to it, but if there's no response by the time I wake up tomorrow I'll give a detailed explanation on my views on this.
Yes, that is a valid concern too; I find the same thing that some of the questions aren't very good and I wanted to specify a different answer than is listed. Also I agree that sometimes I do not want to answer a question.

In the case of unsubscribing, you should not have to answer any questions at all (except, do you want to unsubscribe); it should be optional. For other surveys it can be different, though; sometimes they need some answers in order for the survey to work.

I started writing a program for doing surveys, but of course that won't prevent people from making up bad questions. It will, however, avoid many other problems that I have seen, and other things that have annoyed me about these surveys. It also allows the same survey to be converted into multiple formats.
The numbers I quoted include new stock/equity as well as equity gains.

Also, Mozilla is a rather unusual tech company in many ways. Leading Mozilla comes with unique opportunities not easily found elsewhere. Monetary compensation is not the only incentive for people.
You need to add Ghosn's bail money to that, another 5 million at least.

What can you express in JavaScript which you cant express in C#?

You need to think about why people need gas to go to work and back every day. They do this because their work is located far away from their home. And why is that? Because it was economically viable to set it up like that, because of the low price of gas.

Increase the price of gas, and you will get an economic recession in the short term, for sure. But after that, people will adjust, and you will see a reversal of the current trend of centralizing all jobs in the big cities. Towns would get more local businesses, people doing business would invest more in high-quality video conferencing instead of traveling to meetings by plane all the time, and so on. Some things that are possible today would not be possible anymore, and we would have to deal with that.

I think it is a fallacy to see the current way society works as a constant. Everything is holistically connected, and if you change one variable (price of fossil fuels), then the rest of society will have to shape itself around that.

> Ants use the rate at which they meet and smell other ants, or the chemicals deposited by other ants, to decide what to do next. A neuron uses the rate at which it is stimulated by other neurons to decide whether to fire. In both cases, memory arises from changes in how ants or neurons connect and stimulate each other.

Main takeaway, very interesting analogy. Ant colonies are great examples of complex systems with emergent large-scale behavior. Indeed the same could be said about networks of neurons. Interesting to think of an ant colony as the sum of oscillations of signals.

> Every morning, the shape of the colony’s foraging area changes, like an amoeba that expands and contracts.

Sounds like an emergent macroscopic "heartbeat" of the colony.

> In an older, larger colony, each ant has more ants to meet than in a younger, smaller one, and the outcome is a more stable dynamic.

It makes sense that small perturbations would temporarily morph the heartbeat, but would probably snap back into the default oscillation pretty quickly. It would be interesting to see if a small colony is equally resilient to small perturbations as a large colony is to large perturbations, keeping some adjusted ratio of the perturbationSize/colonySize constant.

> individual ants live at most a year.

This comes as a surprise to me.
Not yet, but a Linux version of Edge is coming later:

Can give some examples or do you know of any blog posts, books etc that talk about this in more detail?
But you can't actually get that outcome. You'll lose money AND people will drown. That's the point here. You can decide to lose money or not, but you can't dictate the climate. Sorry to be the arsehole here, but everyone seems to be fooling themselves and we need to stop in order to make a real plan.
Could you elaborate on what made it bad?

I am a web developer too, and for me, the biggest annoyance is feature inconsistency between browsers. Only yesterday, I was cursing under my breath, because webkit-based browsers allow scrollbar styling, but firefox doesn't. In our org, we have embraced CSS grid, but by doing so, made a conscious decision to finally ignore IE11 (rather than to use @supports and write fallback CSS for browsers that are left behind). Even considering the wildly improbable scenario that browser monopoly would lead to feature stagnation - at least you will have a single target with a known set of features to develop against. How can this be worse than what we have now?
probably the same analogies can be drawn for human society
Perhaps I can give you something weirder to read.

The other big complaint I have about C++ is that it is too high-level. It isn't very good for low-level control. :-)

Writing start-up code and linker scripts to support C++ code running without the libraries is not easy. All sorts of things, such as tables of constructors, need a solution. Typically that would involve a lot of assembly code. I'd need to disable lots of C++ functionality unless I wanted to write complicated things like a stack unwinder for exceptions.

It's just easier to use plain old C. The result is smaller too, which is important.
Regarding the Versailles part, this is not a minor issue for his public image in France and I can see him trying to restore his image first here where it's the most damaged (a huge part of the opinion think he's guilty): that's the event that really swayed the public opinion to him being used to unreported compensation/kickbacks/misappropriation of corporate assets, and totally capable of doing the same thing with Nissan.
Humanity as a whole is copping out, that includes me and you too bro! I'm just honest about it
Did anyone else hear that guitar riff and see the large 70s lettering when they got to the name 'Joe Stiglitz', ala 'Everyone in the German army has heard of Hugo Stiglitz.'
> Software mistakes can be pretty dire

Absolutely, but again, they don't happen as you're coding, unlike aviation or surgery.

> if you want to ensure quality, in practice, you will want different eyes to look at the code

Totally agree, but that's an argument for code review, not pair programming. PP is a way to do code review, but I'd argue it's not a very good way, since you're asking the authors to review the code.

> The easiest time to catch mistakes is early.
TDD and CI are a more effective way of doing this.
It's not swift in France (very slow, actually), and it's not swift either in Japan, apparently.

One issue Ghosn mentioned is that his trial(s) was being delayed possibly until next year and beyond with his Japanese lawyer telling him that the whole thing could last up to 5 years.

Now, remember that the Japanese judiciary initially wanted to keep him in jail until his trial(s) and that the conditions of his bail were practically 'house arrest' with very limited contacts with his family and the world.

If I were 65 years old (as he is) and risked potentially having to stay years in jail/house arrest without trial in a foreign country and then risked up to 10 years in jail after that in a country that has a 99.6% conviction rate I would do whatever I could to get the f# out of there (whether I was guilty or innocent).

He had the means to do it and he did it. On a human level I cannot blame him.
> People will say, “Well, I’m not the founder. I’m not being paid enough to care.” Actually, you are: The knowledge and skills you gain by developing a founder mentality set you up to be a founder down the line; that’s your compensation.

Basically what I understand is that I should care as much as the founder even though I don't get paid enough. It's about other skills I gain by doing this. I highly disagree. No matter what I'll do it's all about the short-term compensation when working for others because I can get other skills both if my pay is low or high. And I prefer having a high pay and also getting soft skills. This guy sounds like he's a founder and tries to convince readers to be a good employees and care about others' businesses.
That’s terrible, really sorry that happened to you. The good news is that you have an extraordinarily rare and valuable skill set as a compiler eng
> Google pushed Chrome on desktop very aggressively via Google Search and bundling Chrome with every software download imaginable.

That makes me wonder, why did something like BrowserChoice.eu not happen for google?
No it doesn't.

> If you’re an IT administrator, you will need to download an offline deployment package to pilot within your corporate environment—the new Microsoft Edge will not automatically deploy for commercial customers. Additionally, none of the Microsoft Edge preview channels will update to the new Microsoft Edge, as they can be used side-by-side for testing and validation.

So many of us still need to support current Edge until IT decides it is time to move on.
I think this blog article did not frame the novelty of this study very well. It is not the nowcast that is the problem, it is getting nowcast at a spatial resolution higher than weather forecast models. But in that case, the limitation is more about computation rather than physics. What their U-Net does seems to be a fancy way of doing statistical downscaling.

Needless to say, this should not be interpreted as machine learning can replace physics in weather forecast or operational meteorology (see Lorenz 1963 paper). It shines as a great data assimilation technique though.
Those guidelines are the best on the internet and has stopped me from writing many comments! But sometimes still someone ticks me the wrong way and I venture down to the low levels and fight the ogres ogre-way. When that happens I usually feel appropriately ashamed and quit internet a couple of days to be able to return with the energy required to follow the guidelines again!

Thank you for your patience/work!

Will Wright defined the "Simulator Effect" as how game players imagine a simulation is vastly more detailed, deep, rich, and complex than it actually is: a magical misunderstanding that you shouldn’t talk them out of. He designs games to run on two computers at once: the electronic one on the player’s desk, running his shallow tame simulation, and the biological one in the player’s head, running their deep wild imagination.

"Reverse Over-Engineering" is a desirable outcome of the Simulator Effect: what game players (and game developers trying to clone the game) do when they use their imagination to extrapolate how a game works, and totally overestimate how much work and modeling the simulator is actually doing, because they filled in the gaps with their imagination and preconceptions and assumptions, instead of realizing how many simplifications and shortcuts and illusions it actually used.

https://www.masterclass.com/classes/will-wright-teaches-game...

>There's a name for what Wright calls "the simulator effect" in the video: apophenia. There's a good GDC video on YouTube where Tynan Sylvester (the creator of RimWorld) talks about using this effect in game design.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apophenia

>Apophenia (/æpoʊˈfiːniə/) is the tendency to mistakenly perceive connections and meaning between unrelated things. The term (German: Apophänie) was coined by psychiatrist Klaus Conrad in his 1958 publication on the beginning stages of schizophrenia. He defined it as "unmotivated seeing of connections [accompanied by] a specific feeling of abnormal meaningfulness". He described the early stages of delusional thought as self-referential, over-interpretations of actual sensory perceptions, as opposed to hallucinations.

5 game design tips from Sims creator Will Wright

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scS3f_YSYO0

>Tip 5: On world building. As you know by now, Will's approach to creating games is all about building a coherent and compelling player experience. His games are comprised of layered systems that engage players creatively, and lead to personalized, some times unexpected outcomes. In these types of games, players will often assume that the underlying system is smarter than it actually is. This happens because there's a strong mental model in place, guiding the game design, and enhancing the player's ability to imagine a coherent context that explains all the myriad details and dynamics happening within that game experience.

>Now let's apply this to your project: What mental model are you building, and what story are you causing to unfold between your player's ears? And how does the feature set in your game or product support that story? Once you start approaching your product design that way, you'll be set up to get your customers to buy into the microworld that you're building, and start to imagine that it's richer and more detailed than it actually is.
It's a bit bloaty and verbose as well, you could just use void(&)(void *).
I wouldn't say "poor or underdeveloped", rather the economic factors are different in the middle of the country vs the coastal parts of it.

Obviously anywhere connected to the ocean benefits from the fact that they are the first place a cargo ship goes when importing goods into America. It's because of this reason alone that the coastal states just so happen to be tech hubs.

Silicon Valley exists not because every engineer in the world 70 years ago thought it would be nice to live on a crowded little peninsula that has always had extremely over inflated real estate prices relative to the national avg (trust me, my Grandpa and Aunt were both big in the real estate game in the bay way back then)

The reason why they all moved there was because A. The cheapest silicon you can get in America is located where it comes right of the dock. B Because that is true for every imported good, coincidentally the easiest place to find people with an abundance of cash just so happens to be where all the people involved heavily in international trade are doing business.

My point is, you say "under developed" without taking into consideration two realities.

1. You don't want to live in a california with 150 million people in it.

2. states like oklahoma and texas can only survive by exporting the few goods they can produce. Namely green house gas problem sectors like livestock and oil production.

I live in oklahoma. Literally 5/10 men who actually take care of their families around here are doing so by driving trucks across country or pulling black gold out of the ground. The only way these areas could become "more developed" is if all of you did the actual caring thing (and actually smart thing btw) and started building your billion dollar unicorn startups all over the country.

There is no reason why Facebook couldn't be HQ in Texas, Amazon in Utah, Apple in Nashville (hey i think steve jobs would have liked that) twitch in North carolina, twitter in Maine, etc etc etc.

Because literally the only thing tech needs is internet connection. If were going to talk about ignorance of reality lets start with our own hypocrisies. Because frankly I lived half of my life in California and I lived the other half in the bible belt.

I tend to miss both when i am in the other place.When im in oklahoma I miss California because that's where all my childhood friends are. And when i am in california i miss oklahoma because that is where all the polite people are.
Insightful article with plenty of food for thought for founders! The data and analysis presented in the article would definitely help founders estimate the effort and time required to raise funds.
Simple and effective methods that will help to speed up Photoshop performance
The weather was getting increasingly too dry to conduct controlled-/back-burns and the burns that were set were growing more and more out-of-control. So the burns decreased and the fuel loads increased until a massive fire tore through, making this season far, far worse.

In Paradise before the Camp Fire, there hadn't been rain for 200+ days. You can't put out every fire instantly as was tried in the past because that would build up fuels to devastating wildfire amounts. Many species evolved with fire... heck, my mom's oleanders in her front yard look even healthier than before the fire a year and change ago even though they were burned to blackened crisps.

Much like smoking cigarettes, it's difficult to point to which one caused lung cancer, but surely the sum of enough of them did cause it as much as the hockey-stick CO2 and temperature increases, coral bleaching, insect/bird apocalypse and Arctic sea ice declining to an imminent blue ocean event are caused by the sum total of human activities polluting GHGs into the environment over decades.
Most countries don't extraditate their own citizens regardless of the crime. I don't even know about a country that would extraditate a citizen in this case.
Photoshop was running a bit sluggish on my Mac recently, luckily there are several settings you can tweak to get the best performance on your machine without compromising too much in terms of usage.
The best way to understand about war chants is, firstly, to imagine what it would be like to be a warrior in some prehistoric tribe that is about to go to war. Imagine possible scenarios in your future - the beginning of the war, where you and your fellow warriors carefully but deliberately proceed towards the enemy (who might be a neighbouring tribe who don't yet realise they are the enemy), the actual fighting, where you are in a constant state of "kill or be killed", and, finally, the world as it will be after the war has finished. If victorious, you will have greater status in your tribe, more possessions, more territory, possibly more women. Even if your tribe does win the war, probably some of your colleagues will have died, and it won't be the same living without them. Whatever the result, life after the war will be significantly different to life before the war.

Then, after thinking these thoughts, find a piece of music that strongly intensifies the emotions which arise from thinking them. This music won't be an actual prehistoric war chant, because most of us living in the modern world have musical tastes that have been shaped by exposure to modern commercially produced music. So you will be thinking about a prehistoric war scenario, while listening to twentieth or twenty first century music.

Then, I think, you will understand, albeit subjectively, what it is that war chants are about.
It's true that ocaml has different contribution entry profile. The only "issue" here is that flow being a js tool, naturally would attract more js contributions, but that's it. You can't say ocaml itself is not fit for purpose because this kind of tool is pefect use case for ocaml. It would be interesting to see flow rewrite in flow itself thought.

Imagine JavaScript, but more like Java, but not very strictly typed, half the methods in the standard library follow different patterns for method signatures, and no event loop or JIT.
