I explored Common Lisp for high performance code once (I work in HFT), the biggest issue was that it didn't have native support for "arrays of structs" (where all the structs would be values stored "unboxed" adjacent in memory). I know it'd probably be possible to write a library to do that, but that'd be a huge amount of work compared to just using a language with existing support for unboxed arrays.
10 ns is the quoted accuracy, but it’s not easy to verify that and it is very easy to mess up something at that timescale. If something is cheap, I’d be willing to bet their PPS output is not going to be 10 ns accurate. Most applications won’t tell the difference between 10 us and 10 ns accurate, but when you need it, you’ll know it.

Learn about personal finance and the power of compound interest. Create a budget and start saving for retirement. Contribute to a 401k/IRA/etc. Your goal should be to save 12-15%. If you can't save that much today, start lower, but increase it every 6-12 months and every time you get a pay raise. Save 6 months of expenses for a rainy day fund -- this is especially important in 2020. Pay yourself first. Save for a vacation every year and take it. Travel the world and get a different perspective.

Every year you don't save for retirement means you'll need to work another year, or save even more when you're older (think 20-30% of your salary).

I'm making up for lost time now. I used to buy new cars and toys. I bought my current car 27 years ago; it still runs great.

Some engineers will StackOverflow their way through the company until they're a senior engineer, then they don't even have to know the language.... A common mindset:

"Why should I learn the language, syntax, ecosystem etc... When I can just Google my problem"

It's amazing we live in an age where anyone's programming problem can be solved through a simple query to the Google...
I agree. As someone who writes Go professionally, you can learn the entire language in a weekend.

I have sat down to learn Rust several times investing many hours and still wouldn’t say I’m in any way competent at it.

> will always be called assholes

I think “asshole” has too many different meanings, it makes the discussion difficult in a way.

Michael Jordan was an ‘asshole’ in that he was harsh and impolite, and arguably most people don’t care if elite athletes or top level professionals are harsh and impolite. Michael Jordan’s teammates seemed pretty happy to have him being harsh and impolite.

That’s pretty different from Uber’s former CEO being a asshole because of utter lack of morality and illegal behaviors, or Elon Musk’s lack of restraint and common sense.

Putting everything under the ‘asshole’ umbrella makes it look like Michael Jordan was on the same plane as Travis Kalanick, which would be a mistake.

No, the point is that you no longer need to worry about sending profits to shareholders. "Business principles" are just a catch-all term for ideas that businesses need to co-opt in order to survive, including financial sustainability, effective leadership, producing results, operationalization, etc.

All of these things can and should apply to public utilities.

Wall Street punishes companies that are not profitable or are losing money. Consumers can make that happen by walking away when companies are anti-consumer. If they do, profits fall and Wall Street would hold that company accountable.

Why do you think Zoom hired security professionals and bought Keybase? Why do you think Facebook reacted after the Cambridge Analytica scandal? Why do you think TikTok separated itself from ByteDance in China?

Even with the most federal oversight, US banks and financial firms tanked the economy and then got paid for it. And it's not a left-right thing; it's a them-us thing. And if you don't believe that, you only need to take a look at the Panama Papers scandal.
Different situation. Facebook and Instagram are social brands that signal which demo you'll find on each platform (at least at the time of acquisition).

Apple Glass leak reveals price, release date and features
Is that true though?

The Deluge currently appears to not be buyable anywhere here, and if I bought it directly from them in NZ and add import tax to that, it probably won't be that much cheaper than a OP-1, if at all. And then the Deluge is at its core a step sequencer, so you can't even record unquantized. Might not be important to you, might be the killing missing feature for someone else. But never having owned a Deluge I can't say much more about it.

The AKAI Force is not that much cheaper than an OP-1 here. Is it "way more capable"? I don't know. But it doesn't even have a piano-like keyboard input, so again, at least one very distinctive feature it doesn't have compared to the OP-1. And then look at it. Would you want to take your AKAI Force on your commute to jam? I wouldn't.

The only one that really is significantly cheaper is the MPC Live, which I don't know, so can't really judge. But this seems to be a sampler at its core, so not sure about its synth capabilities? And it also doesn't have a keyboard...

Edit: well, I stand corrected - the Akai MPC Live II costs the same as on OP-1.
FreeAgent CTO here. We now default to quad-core i7 32GB 13" MacBook Pros which are super-flexible (travel, working in different locations etc) and definitely powerful enough for local dev.

We benchmarked these when running tests locally against 16" hex-core MBP and found comparatively little difference – CPU ultimately stops being the bottleneck at some point.

It looks like mobile dev workflow (iOS and Android) benefits from more powerful machines (and definitely 32GB RAM) but again it's a trade off over power vs portability, the latter being important for our developers.
Corporate buybacks are dangerous when when the taxpayer bails out the shareholders.

Major companies loaded up on debt because a decade of low interest rates made it cheap to do so, then purchased stock because shareholders wanted them to (paper gain and get taxed later on sale, so more flexibility for taxation timing).

So companies have no wiggle room in a crisis. So what? Bankruptcy, hose the shareholders, sell the assets to a new company, and the market will learn. But no - bailouts for everyone! The Fed buys their old junk bonds and even new ones! No one ever feels any pain. The government isn’t allowing natural business processes to happen and then some dumb idea like “ban stock buybacks! That will solve everything!” is promoted.

The government has trained the market so that if a recession happens, it will backstop everything. It’s ridiculous.

That was normal at the time. At least for the allied forces. Notice how i didn't mention F-104G Starfighter? That's because they didn't do that, at least not there. One DID "buzz" me with an almost deafening sonic boom, really solid pressure wave when bicyling in some forest somewhere else in maybe 1984. Suddenly, out of nowhere, and then gone again, except for the roaring of the air for maybe a minute after.
Also at that time: looking out of the window at home, again on a hillside, a F-111 roaring down the little valley from behind the house, hopping over some ridge, becoming visible again, and rising almost vertically to the top of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drachenfels_(Siebengebirge) over the Rhine, waggling its wings, then nosediving again to the right to vanish into the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siebengebirge All in what seemed to be a minute and VERY LOUD! I later reconstructed the flight path on a map, which showed it going over the Russian embassy and consulate first, then over the American one. As to why the F104 was supersonic while so low, i have no clue. Maybe a near crash?
Its direction pointed to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C3%B6rvenich_Air_Base roughly. As for school? No problem, had effortless Ones or Twos/A-Grade/B-Grade. It was mostly boring, really.

Declarative is great, and I wish more people created clean declarative API with regular languages instead of writting yet another DSL.

But remember that the problem with a declarative syntax, is that it needs a runtime, which typically the end user doesn't touch. And if the runtime doesn't take into consideration one use case, the user is stuck. Don't forget to provide an escape hatch.

There's a few other restrictions as well as the 1000mph speed limit, as far as I'm aware.

GPS is still slightly inaccurate in its publicly available form: there's a second frequency broadcasting an encrypted signal, and with both frequencies you can better account for variations in the ionosphere.

Galileo I believe will shortly be the only system with worldwide coverage and publicly available multiple-frequency broadcast.
This is a little revisionist.

They ousted him because he was costing too much money and not delivering (or likely to deliver) results (vis-a-vis Macintosh). Nobody in a position to fire Jobs cared that he treated employees like dirt, and that isn't anyone's version of the story. What they cared about that he was producing a competing product to the Apple II line which was the company's bread and butter at the time, that would be too expensive for the markets they were targeting.

I am in Chittenden County just outside of Burlington and even areas here may have spotty broadband connection at best once you get outside of the bigger areas and in-between Chittenden and Addison or Franklin counties. I would suggest checking with Comcast if you want the best internet around (Unless you can get into Burlington, or some areas that have their own Fiber lines like Hinesburg in some areas)

I have coworkers that have DSL and can't do video meetings currently if anyone else at the house is using the internet also, but if its just one person than most the internet options are ok.

They did just launch an initiative with Comcast (We will see how well that actually goes) to get broadband to a number of smaller towns in Vermont, mostly around the Addison area. As for Satellite options here, I will caution you against them unless you want a frustrating experience because depending on where you live, you may live in a valley covered by trees, and with our cloud coverage and rain patterns, it could be a bit of a bummer but again, if it's just a single person, I've known a few that have been able to make it work for the most part. Again, depending on where you live here it may be better but I know people getting less than 10Mbps down on their satellite connection.

Leasing office space may be a challenge if you are not near a bigger area. We don't have co-working spaces and rent is notoriously high here for both residential and commercial.

Why even think about incident response differently in the world of AI? The answers boil down to three major reasons, which may also exist in other large software systems but are exacerbated in AI. First and foremost is the tendency for AI to decay over time. Second is AI’s tremendous complexity. And last is the probabilistic nature of statistics and machine learning (ML).

Gig Economy Workers Facing Unprecedented Conditions as Businesses Set to Reopen
Do you find it implausible that an agent of the CIA could pose as a whistleblower to advance antidemocratic intelligence efforts against US citizens?

Look, I'm not saying that's what happened, I don't know anything about it, but the idea that we should be shutting down inquiry into CIA agents interfering in other parts of our government, given the known history of the CIA, is absolutely crazy to me. And it's not like they've changed! We're talking about an organization that just recently illegally spied on the Congressional illegal CIA torture investigation and then lied about it to Congress (also a crime) - and got away with it!

Even in other branches of the government, we know that "whistleblowers" are not always acting in good faith - the NY Times just did a story about a "whistleblower" lying to the press about what was happening and using that as an excuse to leak people's personal information to the press, all in order to advance his own political agenda. If that can happen at the IRS, surely it can happen at the CIA? And surely we should at least be able to look into whether that's a possibility>

> Plenty of high level ICs that couldn't produce quality IC work to save their lives and plenty of pet projects.

This seems so strange to me. As a lead, most of my work is management, organization, and planning. To scratch the development itch I usually have 1 pet project going on that I either use when I'm taking a break from actual work or work on in my spare time. But even that pet project has pretty clear long or short term value and the only reason why it's not being worked on by my team is because it hasn't been prioritized yet. I can't imagine working on a pet project that has no clear value to the company.

This website isn't perfect, but I created it after working on transportation data for a state government. It is focused on the Maryland area, but there are some national sources. This is a good page to find ideas for GIS-based analyses on traffic crashes, travel patterns, and transportation infrastructure. Any ideas welcome. It was my first GitHub page, so I know that it could be better on the dev side.

I have used Lab space in Photoshop a bit. You are right... it is a relative to Munsell. Lab has one or two very particular uses in color adjustment. For example... as lightness is completely separate to chromacity, it is a very agreeable space for lightness and saturation adjustments.

It is also great for demonstrating to students how the perceptual Lightness value of a hue differs to the lightness value indicated by a desaturation in simple RGB space.

> I don't understand why a web browser (or any application) needs a custom language setting, much less a prominent one. It's just one more place that can fail.

For entertainment including games I want them to be in the original languaugage they were developed in (if it's one I can speak fluently) even if that differs from my system language (which differs from my native language (which at many points in my life has differed from the default language for my location)).

I don't personally have a reason to have a different language for my browser UI though, but perhaps someone else does. However I agree that the default for application languages should be "use the system default" - not whatever was the system default at installation time or some other fixed language.

Easily and securely send things from one computer to another
I find it amusing how often attractive women get two words that sound similar, mixed up. Things like, “for all intensive purposes” or others — I think you know what I mean.

My hypothesis is that no one wants to correct them, the way they would someone they don’t fear retribution from. Their friends might fear being ostracized for implying they’re stupid. Their suitors might fear pushing them away for the same reason. They just say it wrong for years while everyone nods and smiles.

I’ve made a habit of noting them in meetings and then privately informing them after. Have heard replies like, “Wait, really!? That’s so embarrassing, I’ve been saying that wrong for YEARS.”

Constantly getting a pass cuts both ways. It’s also harder to stand on their own, since they grow so accustomed to people constantly offering help, and free stuff.
