I wanted Ryan as a prodigy. It sounds weird. I was naïve. I'm not a homo. I'm not a pedophile. I didn't watch the show full house but seriously WTF? I'm far less crazy than some people.

I took pictures when I visited Kevin in 1990. Ryan had his shirt off. I guess it's weird. Fucken crazy-ass Brenda give me a picture of her 3 boys in diapers in a frame. I'm like, "I guess this is normal." What about those Europeans who put boys peeing in fountains? As a straight male, this disturbs me, but you kinda think it's normal, I guess. WTF?

Are you outraged by the naked boys peeing fountains. It is fucked-up and I don't like it, but you go along, cause society thinks it's normal?

Three reasons. First, we don't control the kernel and we don't want to make assumptions about thread spawning being cheap on every OS. Second, it lets us implement work stealing, which is a proven method for dynamic parallelism. Third, it lets us do some operations such as RPC from task to task entirely in userspace with no trip through the scheduler or OS kernel.

All of which, ironically enough, was Walmart's original playbook: grow huge, realize economies of scale so drastic that nobody else can hope to compete on price, then use your size and buyer power to put even more downward pressure on supplier prices.

Amazon vs. Walmart is an extremely interesting battle to watch. Amazon has massive advantages in technology; Walmart has massive advantages in size, distribution, and logistics. Amazon is gaining a lot of ground in the US; Walmart is much stronger than Amazon internationally.

If I had to place bets, I'd take Amazon in the long run. They're much more forward thinking and are playing a much more strategic game. Walmart has become overly reliant on price leadership and has had a very hard time orienting toward the future of retail. The Innovator's Dilemma will catch up to it eventually -- but it'll take awhile, because Walmart is so damned massive and dominant right now.
Execution is a multiplier, bro. Don't see you doing anything.
Generally speaking unless you are specifically required to keep records for a regulatory purpose (i.e. tax), you don't have to keep logs at all. Lavabit used to keep logs for a limited time (I think a week?).

I was on a forum where there was a guy who had self-studied maths and physics and was an 'ideas man'. The problem was that he just didn't have the standardised nomenclature to get his ideas across - and also meant that he couldn't understand the reasons why other mathematicians debunked him.

One outstanding example was his method for a 'free energy' spacecraft movement system, that hinged on an arm throwing -foo- into a receiver. The argument was that there is a difference between throwing something and merely releasing it at speed, and he didn't have the understanding of physics to realise there is no difference.

Another one of his ideas was a system for finding prime numbers, which he couldn't articulate well enough for people to figure out whether it was a valuable predictor or merely a sieve.

He was a regular at the forum and respected, and I've never seen so many people patiently explaining physics and maths at such clear lengths before... and he just couldn't grok it, because he didn't have the standard language to get his ideas across.

This anecdata doesn't contradict the GP though, who is talking about doing self-study in parallel with formal study.

Take this with a grain of salt. I found working on Quartz to be much more miserable than any other platform I've ever worked with. Of course, that had to do with a lot of factors that weren't related to the language.
Writing the runtime for a language in that language is fairly unusual, but writing compilers in the language they compile is a similar idea and has always been a popular activity.
Sorry, I misread your post as saying GC in general is wholly unsuited for game development. My mistake.
Assuming he is a US citizen, and doesn't waive his right to a jury trial (which he should not), the only way to try him would be in front of a jury. That doesn't apply if you are an 'enemy combatant' and held at Gitmo.

I am not aware of any criminal proceeding in which the prosecution can prevent it from being heard by a jury, but I am also not a lawyer. Do you know of a situation other than military tribunals or court marshalls where the jury right does not apply?
It will come with Android pre-installed already, in a dual-boot configuration.
I'm feeling the same way, Rust looks fantastic. There are a few things in the language I'm not huge fan of, I don't like overly subtle things in a language. For example, some of the functionality around semi colons seem like they will be a common source of stupid programmer bugs that are difficult to track down. Perhaps the compiler will catch that stuff.

Go kinda ruined other languages for me with multiple return values, its something I miss when working in every other language now. And reading through the docs I keep hoping I would stumble across that, though that would create a lot of problems when interfacing with C. Type inference is a huge win, standard libraries looks solid, love the potential around marking variables as mutable, and any language that has no null values makes me happy.

Overall, I wish I had more time too.

You really should read the original work. I mean, it's just a cartoon drawn on the back of a business card, how much time could that possibly take?
I'm assuming you have the technical resources to manage your own hardware.

I've built a a lot co-lo solutions for clients. They end up being very expensive if you use a "name brand" provider. You are paying for rack space, power, A/C, security, bandwidth, etc, etc. And then anytime something breaks, you need to send somebody in to fix it. If the provider supplies "hands" then they charge heavily for that. Remote consoles are good, but not that good.

With so many providers out there, ranging from bare metal to VPS to PaaS - I find that hybrid solutions work the best. Not putting all your eggs in one basket, etc.

In my experience, the greater the lock-in the worse the service - of course YMMV. I tend towards pay-by-month and stay flexible. Whilst AWS is expensive if used continuously, I find it good for handling spikes. But you do need to architect you solution to move the workload around and that can end up being more bother than its worth.
Don't forget: All else being equal, Walmart takes a profit. That's why I'm bullish on Amazon from an economic perspective.

Why is this privatised? Too easy to abuse.

If the ultimate goal, as it should be, is safety/deterrence, then a camera flash (reminds other motorists) is surely a decent idea?

I drove in the UK recently and there are speed camera warning signs everywhere, usually followed by quite obvious cameras.

Here in Australia, police have been known to hide around corners or position cameras disguised as roadside garbage bins, though I haven't heard much on this front for a while so maybe public outcry have pulled them a little into line. For the most part though, the cameras are not unreasonably located and an unspoken leeway of about 10% applies (e.g., can get away with 54 in a 50 zone).

There's rebuildable atomizers or DIY liquid then.

At its most basic, an ecig is made of two devices: a battery and an atomiser. The heating element in the atomiser, a coil of resistance wire wrapped around some sort of wick, is consumable. Either the whole atomizer (in the case of a cartomizer) or the atomizer head (in the case of most clearomizers) has to be replaced every few months. Rebuildable atomizers are made so that you can make your own heating coil and wick instead of throwing out the cartomizer or head. There's a lot of technique to making good coils, almost like a craft.

It's also possible to mix you own liquid from ingredients.
From the monolithic US government:

"Defendant Barrett Lancaster Brown moved to continue trial and pretrial deadlines on July
31, 2013 explaining that more time is required in order to adequately prepare his defense in light
of the ongoing forensic processing of the Electronic Stored Information (ESI) images. The
government opposed on August 8, 2013, and, in its Opposition requested the Court issue a “Gag
Order” to “[i]nstruct the parties to refrain from making any statement to members of any
television, radio, newspaper, magazine, internet (including, but not limited to, bloggers), or other
media organization about this case, other than matters of public record.’” GB at 12. For the
reasons articulated in Points I and II, below, the Court should grant Mr. Brown’s continuance
and deny the Government’s request."

The reasons 'articulated' seem detached from Barrett himself, for those wanting to read further.

From Barrett:

"For instance, the government states that “Brown’s friend confirmed in a statement to the
press (posted on August 7, 2013) that lawyers had discussions with a specific media person to
arrange an in-person interview with Brown in jail.” GB at 11 (¶27). Presumably, the “specific
media person” referenced by the government is Michael Hastings, a journalist, friend and
colleague of Mr. Brown who passed away on June 18, 2013 in Los Angeles California. Counsel
does not dispute that Mr. Hastings, as with many other members of the media, contacted counsel
seeking an in-person interview with Mr. Brown. To counsel’s knowledge, Mr. Hastings did not
visit or conduct an in-person interview Mr. Brown before his death."

No hints of conspiracy, just the defendant pointing out he is not multiple persons at the same time so they should 'articulate' something that deals with Barrett directly.
"FWIW Obama's cancellation of the summit is getting rave reviews from basically every major paper I've looked at"

The NSA is out of control, and calling the shots. The government is run by a cozy coalition of secret services and big business. Secret courts rubber-stamp away the constitution.

But that's not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is that the media - and by that I mean ALL media - is more or less a propaganda channel for the government and the powers behind it. That means Americans are not adequately informed. Rather, they're bombarded with "talking points" that very effectively tell them what to think.

The absence of an independent news media is the biggest crisis. We have FOX news and FOX News in green; we have the WJS and the WSJ in green (the NYT). The exact same message comes in different flavors - do you want Vanilla, or Chocolate, want a right-wing view or a left-wing view, your choice! Oh it comes in libertarian, too.

Stewart and Colbert serve as emotional outlet for the dissatisfied without changing anything or straying too far from the course. As much as I love watching Colbert he's basically the government-approved court jester.

If you want to know whether the USA has independent news media, ask yourself this: Which US newspaper or TV channel would print Snowden's leaks in the way the guardian in the UK does? Answer: None. They all protect the government because they're owned by the same business interest that's also running the government.

Ask HN: Lisp programmers - do you experience occasional code blindness?
We all have good days and bad days. That applies to coding and may even be exaggerated there. At least my observation has been that the difference between a productive day and a not so productive one can be almost an order of magnitude.

In most languages I will still write code on the not so good days, just not as much. With Lisp however, on the bad days, I don't write a single line of code. And if I do, I discard it the next day. Do you have that same problem? If yes, any theories on why that might be?

That's a negative signal as well: it shows that you job-hop frequently, get bored easily, and can't commit to any one company. In some companies (particularly startups) that's fine, in many it's the kiss of death.

I think that what hiring managers want to see is that you fully exploit the opportunities available to you. That means that if you're in a good employer and given a lot of responsibility, you stay. If you're in a dead-end job where you're not learning anything, you leave. If it's a good company going through a rough patch, you stay. If it's just a bad company, you leave.

Oftentimes that means you'll have stints of varying lengths on your resume: you may have a few of 1-2 years when starting out to find your footing, then a longer stint of 4-5 years at an industry-leader, then a shorter stint at a smaller company where you're given more responsibility, then a startup, and so on.

I don't have a problem with that... imho corporations should be working to either grow (reinvest or diversify) or payout dividends... I'm pretty opposed to a corporation holding on to vast unused/underused properties and cash reserves. It does nothing for the communities they take hold in, or for the economy at large.
Tech companies do not care about up cycles and down cycles. They grow in both.

I fail to remember when cash helped struggling tech company. Sun? Yahoo? Who could make better use of cash in the time of struggle than they could in the time of growth and ability?

Tech companies do not need to hoard cash. They never die because of lack of cash. They always get murdered by more able competitor or innovation in their field. Thus, preferring to keep cash instead of investing is basically a crime for one.

If you cate about assets and cushions, maybe you should invest in your pillow instead?
Wouldn't all of your recipients also need to be using countermail? Email is just not the answer, if you want any privacy at all... We need a whole new communication protocol, or a new platform where people go for ephemeral and encrypted communication.
How to Make Better Decisions Together
If iOS7 serves as an example, this would be a terrible idea. Betas 1/2 were nowhere near acceptable for day-to-day usage, and while the new betas are better, I still get app crashes and even phone restarts every once in a while. Letting everybody use the beta from the very beginning would be the far worse thing they could do: all of a sudden, with no notice, every developer out there would be forced to fix crashes asap to avoid millions of people complaining about it. And it would pretty quickly cause people to hate apple's phones, because they "crash all the time."
I have limited experience with Rust, but the semicolon stuff you're describing has been one of the most surprisingly positive aspects about it for me. I thought it sounded kind of like a dumb gimmick that just adds subtlety (read: removes simplicity) to something for no reason. However, in practice I've found is really great for making the intent of your code more visible (less cluttered). I miss it when I'm doing C#.

Also, I've never come across a situation with too few/extra semicolons causing any kind of logic errors. The compiler will complain at you if you get it wrong.
I'm a bit uninformed on this, so bear with me here. If Amazon is making no "profit", that still means that its employees are getting paid, right? If the people working there are making money off of the business, what problem exists, exactly? Does it have to do with investor returns?
The system of tipping in the US is used to skirt around minimum wage laws and to push the cost of labor onto the customer, which makes eating out at restaurants seem deceptively cheaper than in other countries.
> The end game for Amazon is choking all of the other retailers out of existence, IMHO.

The trouble with this is that it plays exactly into the article's point. We can't disprove that Amazon will one day choke all the other retailers out of existence. We can always say, "tomorrow will be the day, just wait."

Meanwhile, Chinese factories are selling bicycle parts on eBay. Will WalMart fail but be replaced by manufacturers selling direct to end-users and disintermediate Amazon? I have no idea, but it's no less plausible than Amazon driving absolutely everyone out of business.

I'm not trying to debate eBay vs. Amazon, I'm simply suggesting that if we're talking "long games," there's a lot of uncertainties. Profitable companies are winning now.
Developers (and I think everybody) can ask reviews to be removed, and in general I had that done a few times. But, yes, no accountability.
I've updated my post, sorry for the confusion!
But how far could they go? Could they compel GnuPG authors to secretly weaken GPG, along with a gag order?

I know that seems like it's taking it to the logical extreme, but if they can compel web service authors to alter their apps to insert exploits (assuming that's what happened), why couldn't they compel open source desktop app authors to do the same?

The only difference being that the GPG authors would have to be really sneaky to avoid code review. Possibly with "help" from the NSA.
