Well the answer is that they get lots of applications from really good developers who also have top colleges on their resumes and top companies they've worked at. So they interview them first and can't get to the rest. This is obvious but can't be said publicly.

This is also why people fight so hard to get prestigious companies and universities on their resume.

Yes but couldn't you imagine a web and a society that doesn't run on big data?

What if the unscalability of the semantic web were a feature rather than a bug?

The current political and economic fallout of the big data web that we all know and love arises precisely due to the ungodly effects of network size on power laws. E.g., the rich get richer and the poor get poorer on a global scale.

Why not a more semantic and a more decentralized web.

> Does anyone have any idea, if Oracle wins, what the ramifications for Google/Android will be?

I understand that Android currently uses OpenJDK, under its public license, so I think the ramifications will be "Google pays buttloads of money to Oracle for past misuse and continues happily on its way". At least as far as the Java APIs are concerned; there will be lawsuits flying back and forth everywhere in the industry over every other reused API that isn't explicitly licensed, which will probably also effect Android in some way.

I spent much of my life in an with Smalltalk images (some would say too much), and there were also the big names and figures when I did Smalltalk projects in the nineties. Some of the issues could be handled spending a lot of money. The basic concepts (and issues) are the same in all Bluebook offsprings. You probably mean GNU ST; it has the advantage that there is a compiler and library available outside of virtual images and you can use it like a "normal" compiled language and easily re-assemble a virtual image with the objects and versions required. This allows you to use the image as a cache to reduce startup times like e.g. Dart does it. But this is not the original Smalltalk virtual image idea, i.e. not the "whole environment" the fellow referred to.

Recommended reading: How did people use ed? from Retrocomputing Stack Exchange, the answer by Raffzahn also includes an old-school programming story, How Real Programmers Remember Code.

https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/5341/how-...

> Using a line-based editor isn't that hard. For one, yes, real programmers (as we all were back then) do remember their lines. A program grows in your head; the screen is just to dump the result, isn't it? How are you able to understand your own program if you can't visualize it in the first place?

> [...] Of course, these were all 'super specialists' and way better than anything we were ... the usual game. And as so often they came up with the same questions, why not use a high level language, a standard DBS and so on. The usual crap. Seriously, with an application of that size, writing such components is just a minor add on. Eventually needing less code than using a standard interface requires - not to mention being faster because being tailored exactly to our needs.

> Anyway, let's go for the story. One of these 'specialists', lets call him Mr. W., claimed that no one can oversee such a large codebase, not even partially. Heck, no one can even remember all code written by himself in 5 or more years. Ha! That was a claim that I couldn't let stand uncontested, so one word yielded the next. Bottom line: we agreed for a bet, one beer, that I will be able (he said not able) to identify source name when presented a 10 line snippet, from random programs I did within the existing codebase. We agreed on 10 examples. Date was set the next morning.

> Morning came, I didn't prepare nothing, but he came up with a stack of paper and a case of beer. I guess his intention was to show how much I didn't gain by presenting every fail with a bottle. Also, he was so generous as to make the snippets a whole page each. I didn't really need that. I named not only each routine he handed me, but also which module it belonged to, what's the purpose, some workings, why variables are named the way they are, some caller or what was to be found on the pages before or after. Further, I also named the original programer, as he inserted a few pages from programs I didn't write and identified a piece of code that was no longer used, told why and what has replaced it - he pulled it form a very old version :))

> The whole case of beer, bottle by bottle, changed sides :))

> The same time Mr. W. became more and more quiet. Needless to say that there was no further argument about readability of code or the ability to handle a large code base. Sure, there was still the database fight, but that's a different story.

The abortion argument definitely presents an issue regarding the NAP: are you violating the NAP by terminating the pregnancy, or is the fetus violating the NAP by existing in the mother's uterus without her "permission". I think ultimately it depends on how one views a fetus. Many (most?) libertarians think that a woman doesn't owe a fetus the right to exist in her womb.

But there are some (specifically the Libertarians for Life[0]) who attempt to justify the act of abortion as a violation of the NAP. If I understand correctly, their reasoning is that human offspring are human beings regardless of their stage of development and thus terminating a pregnancy is literally killing an innocent person.

Personally, I think saying "You aren't pro-choice so you aren't a libertarian," isn't so cut and dry.

Yep. I most certainly did.

I got a 4 year degree in mechanical engineering and worked a full-time job building cars for a bit, and I still wrote down a line that sounds as stupid as it does.

> That's not really the court's responsibility.

Yes, it is.

> There is no legal definition of "interface" or "implementation".

There is a legal definition of what is included, and what is excluded, from copyrightability, and (though its quite fuzzy, in large part because it was trying to incorporate a fuzzy judicial doctrine grounded in the First Amendment into the statute) what is included, and excluded, from "fair use" even if it otherwise violated copyright.

The courts job is very much to test existing concrete things against those definitions.

I 100% agree. We don't want to misrepresent TPU support. In fact, we explicitly warn users in our docs. Open to suggestions about how we can communicate this much better to our users.

We just need to be a part of the effort to help bridge the big gap and barriers keeping users from TPU adoption.

And that really underscores the OP's point. With SPAs your servers no longer need to scale linearly with your user base. You don't have to solve all the myriad problems that come with maintaining state for all users in a centralized location.
Vertically integrated monopolies are inefficient because practically, what you really have in a vertically integrated monopoly is a bunch of separate companies, all following a single, centralized entity and paying tribute to that entity. There is an opportunity for profit here, for shareholders, but very little room to actually improve technology, provide utility to users. Every product in that monopoly becomes less of a computer, more of a mouse-trap to keep people in the ecosystem. If your monopoly has even a single component which can interoperate with other monopolies, then you're basically subsidizing a whole layer of infrastructure.

Plus this practice paints a huge target on your back for anti-trust action, as you are seeing now with the other monopolies. The bigger your monopoly gets, the more potential profit there is for whatever government agent can bust you up. This could result in promotion, christmas bonus, maybe even a corner office with a window. Very high stakes.
Going back to nsenifty:

> A week later, instead of the offer, they just said they ran out of headcount. Never heard back from them again (even though they said they'll reach out when they get headcount back).

Saying you'll get back to a candidate, especially when that candidate has already been told to expect an offer, and then ghosting is not polite. Any framing of this as acceptable behavior, be it polite or impolite, is unacceptable. You can say "oh that's just the way it is" and there's some truth to that, but that doesn't mean it isn't pure fucking bullshit and deserving of condemnation.

No, not at all.

OTOH, it does mean if they implement a GPL interface in proprietary software it does mean that they are in violation of copyright (barring a fair use defense) and the GPL, potentially triggering the loss-of-license provisions of the GPL and other legal consequences.

Gay marriage is a divisive topic in the USA. A gay man talking about his wedding around the water cooler is political. A straight man talking about his wedding around the water cooler is not political. The only non-political choice is not allowing either to occur. Because if you allow both, that is a political statement. If you only allow one, that is too.

The funny thing about politics is: a company doesn't get to choose what topics are divisive. People do. All it takes is one person to strongly hold a belief in the office to make it political.
I think it's been neat from an architecture perspective for AMD. TSMC (and AMD) has had trouble matching the frequencies that Intel has been attaining on their 14 nm node, so the only way they were going to beat Intel's single threaded performance was to increase IPC enough over Intel that the frequency gap didn't matter. Seems like they finally got there (the point where their IPC is high enough that a 4 point something GHz Zen part can exceed the single threaded performance of a 5 point something GHz Intel part).

Big deal. You can do this in a Honda Fit for crying out loud.
One's preferred flavor of ice cream is apolitical. But anything that involves more than one person, and actual or potential conflicts between people, is political. Status quo, as a whole, is political.

And that constitutes a much larger part of our lives than is traditionally acknowledged. Which is itself, also, a political matter, because designating a subset of actual politics as "officially politics", and then marginalizing that subset, is one way to slow down further political developments in that department.

I am the creator of Table & Map and I am excited to hear what HN has to say about my project.

Table & Map makes it easy to visualize your location data in an interactive map. Upload or paste an excel or csv file that contains latitudes and longitudes or addresses and instantly see your data in a table and map. In the event that the file does not have latitudes and longitudes, we ask the user to select the address components and we will geocode each record on their behalf. Everything done while in the tool is saved to the user's Google Drive if they are logged in.

I have a few example datasets on the homepage that you can use to test if you don’t have a location dataset available.

A little background:
Working as a programmer in the real estate space, it seems that all anyone wants is to see their data on a map. This project is meant to create a generic website that anyone can use to do just that without any custom code or tedious setup.
>I remember my first "hacking" experiences as a kid replacing sprites in Ambrosia Software games.

Similar story here. I tweaked just about everything ResEdit could open and show graphical resources for. Netscape, IE, PangeaSoft games, random shareware games, the system itself, you name it.

Seeing my edits in "live" software was a blast. It inspired a certain curiosity and made a little bit of how software works click in my head much earlier on than it would have otherwise.
> That's more a sign that the company wants more profit by owning the top to bottom stack.

Is bringing mobile/embedded and now desktop-class CPU design in-house really something one does as a cost-saving measure? Apple wants control over their entire stack, and sure, that relates to their business as a whole, but if this was solely about profit maximization surely there would be better strategies.

> it's still an investment not directly tied to product

I'm not sure I follow your reasoning here. Are you arguing it's not a direct investment because the CPUs aren't products in and of themselves, but rather components for other products? If so, I don't agree -- Apple's investment in, say, case tooling/manufacturing processes and equipment exclusive to their products is surely an investment directly tied to those products, right? The CPUs are likewise components exclusive to Apple products. That seems to me to be a pretty direct investment.

IBM never got Unix. There was this saying about AIX, “it will remind you of Unix”. Unix as such came from Digital hardware, although Digital as company had some reservations adapting it.
No. The CPU is the bottleneck at 1080P, but the GPU might become the bottleneck at a higher resolution.
Remember that the idea that you can’t copyright an API is at the fundamental root of the PC revolution.

If IBM had been allowed a universal copyright on the API for its BIOS, it’s very likely you wouldn’t be reading this on the device you’re using today.
No, I'm not imagining it as a website. An API is literally just a table of contents.

meat.beef

.. BeefAndPotatos

.. BeefAndCabbage

fish.cod

.. CodWithPeas

.. CodWithChips

This is literally an exact representation of what an API looks like. You go to a recipe and you execute it expecting a result. And you get one, the implementation of it is up to the author of the book.
Yeah, and didn't Apple even work with Khronos (and other vendors) to come up with a "next gen OpenGL"? But after literally years of nothing materializing, they just kind of said, "Forget it" and made the API they needed? At least I recall something like that happening. I thought they gave it an honest try but it didn't get any momentum.
This began over something that doesn't feel "political" to me. For me, and perhaps many others, BLM is primarily about injustice. Is taking a stand against injustice political?
