As the person typing in that video, I can confirm that it is tidal. Actually I am not aware of anyone else getting as far as using tidal in performance yet, hopefully soon.

Meta ex have played at a couple of algoraves using overtone.

At the algorave in Sheffield there was

* Yaxu - tidal

* Curious machine - game of life cellular automata and a visualiser on the SNES

* Sick Lincoln - SuperCollider mostly pre composed

* Shelly and some Mandelbrots - SuperCollider as well, live coded

* Section 9 - ixi lang

* Luuma - loads of crazy stuff built in c++, I think running on FPGAs

Well done Saar, nice to seem someone from the Pitch & Mix on HN!
How do you collect the money? I had imagined, wrongly obviously, that payment processor fees would make €2/month infeasible.
These articles aren't games-specific at all. They're pretty general. What made you think they wore games-specific?
You should raise your prices.

Your first comment is a fair point, although the article is about not having to work and taking from those who are rich to pay for it, not providing a safety net so entrepreneurs could try risky thing.

To your second point, I'm not convinced that would happen...even if it did, labor is a fairly small portion of an auto company's costs (I think at one point I saw around 20%).
Or convinced to reject torture.

Its an natural psychological behavior to ignore issues not directly effecting themselves or those close around them.

Not quite. Our society is whatever we choose to make it. It is far from a foregone conclusion that what we choose will turn out to be what we want.

App Design Do's and Don'ts: How to Design for a Global Audience
I think that the combination of directed coursework and self-study is what a formal education is really about. There is no way a set curriculum can teach you everything that you may need in a dynamic world; you have to learn the curriculum, but you also have to learn what you personally are interested, and you have to learn how to teach yourself.

This way you get a solid, wide base but also some specialization/expertise in whatever niche(s) you like, and gives you the tools to advance yourself.

It has always frustrated me teaching, when students are unwilling to get out beyond what I or any other teacher tells them. Designing a syllabus makes it very apparent what a minuscule slice of any subject has to be distilled into a dozen lectures or exercises.

Pixel Perfect Pascal Dangin’s virtual reality (2008)
Virtual Notary offers a superset of the document verification service offered by proofofexistence.com.

It's best to think of Virtual Notary as a impartial online witness to factoids that can be checked online. Besides documents, it can attest to the content of web pages, tweets, weather conditions, stock prices, exchange rates, employment status (for those institutions where we know how to check employment status), house features and prices, etc.

It can also issue official, certified random numbers.

Virtual Notary also allows the users to download an independently-verifiable X509 certificate of attestation.
What a silly statement considering you don't know what the app is actually doing.
I'm confused: Matlab uses MKL, Armadillo can be configured to work with MKL if you have it, and Julia supports MKL, and NumPy too. So if everything uses the same hardware vendor libraries, I'm not sure if that's where your actual speedup will come from. Also, MKL syntax itself is not particularly fun compared with Matlab/NumPy/Julia/etc.

"what Cowen failed to consider is that most of us haven’t been needed in a long time. Maybe economists can’t even consider such a possibility"

Economists consider such a notion to be flawed, because if the jobs that currently exist aren't needed, why are their employers paying for them? We live in something very close to a free market. The author's idea that currently jobs are provided by society in order to preserves social order is 100% wrong.
Not having much experience with developing native mobile apps, I can only say what a pain it is to develop non trivial HTML5 apps that need to support a wide array of browsers. Your initial euphoria of 'oh wow I could make this thing for [insert browser of you choice] in less than [x amount of time]' is quickly mitigated when you try it on other browsers. Different browsers _will_ vary greatly in performance for different approaches and at least one browser _will_ have a bug. Fixing these performance issues (and not killing performance on other browsers again) and finding workarounds for bugs will then take 80% of the entire development time.

Having said that, things have improved the last years, especially when you don't need to support older android versions (> 4). However, performance will always be suboptimal and I found that people who claim the opposite simply have a lower bar for what good UI performance means - as harsh as it sounds. There is also a great number of tips and knowhow on how to make 'blazing fast' HTML5 apps, which people are quick to point out. Many of these help, but they don't always work for all browsers and they potentially limit you in what you can achieve (my favourite: don't use images. But what if the whole point of my app is to work with large images!?)
How do you quickly check to make sure that all of your closing braces match up with the relevant opening brace, rather than, for example, an if statement that you forgot to put the { on?

Hopefully the formatting will work for this -

For example,

if (isOK)
for(thing in list
{
doSomething(thing);
}

}

Screams out to me at very first glance that I've missed a {,

whereas

if (isOK)
for(thing in list){
doSomething(thing);
}
}

needs me to scan to the end of each conditional line to see where the problem is.
I think in part many people were just upset at having a 'bot posting. Thin end of the wedge, and all that. Others didn't like the tone of the message, seeing it as a rebuke.

This is why when I do it "by hand" I make sure I hunt out previous discussions, and if there are none, make a note of that. I can script it all, but with the general hostility I've decided that I'll run the searches for myself because there are often interesting things turn up. Then I post my results because, well, why not? If I found it interesting, others may as well.

More than once I've caught myself constructing replies on negative results and deleted them. I may yet just stop entirely.

From the post:

A recent example illustrates the power of this approach:

Cloudflare's WAF (web application firewall) basically generates
Lua code for the (highly non-linear) maze of firewall rules. An
incoming attack triggers certain rules and the corresponding paths
are turned into linearized traces. These can be heavily optimized
by LuaJIT, much more so than you could ever hope to do with a
static compiler.

When a different attack wave is started, it'll spawn different
traces -- i.e. the generated code dynamically adapts to the
specific attacks.

The result is a much higher firewall throughput than you might be
able to achieve with a data-driven or a static compilation
approach. This directly equates into money saved on machines
needed to handle the load.

Added to that is the fact that the WAF configuration (which is automatically generated Lua code) is different for each customer and so we rely heavily on caching and JITing to get the performance.

The bottom line is that LuaJIT is very fast and very flexible.
I just never understand how OCaml programmers love to party.
If all this were true we wouldn't run Credit cards immediately. You'd swipe, and store, and process in bulk later which makes the transactions cheaper to run. Most merchant services accounts you can save about 50% if you process daily batches rather than authorizing each transaction instantly.

Your assumption is correct. I use Paypal, wire transfer (cheap in Germany) and might use Stripe or Paymill soon.

The solution is simple: People can buy only 3 months at minimum. This makes the transaction fee comparably small.
This was part of the point I wanted to emphasize.

This article talks at how amazing usenet was with it's millions of words a day.

Now any article would take of the valuation of usenet with it's millions of words a day. Someone making a modern usenet wouldn't open their protocol in fear of losing advertising money.

Would twitter, snapchat, etc have their valuations if they released fully open protocols (both client and server)?

I mean WOW! Americans were able to get internet at 40$ / month in '93? I recall, in 2003, my folks had to pay huge telephone bills even when my internet usage didn't exceed more than 2 hrs a day (dial-up times).
Well, we could talk about something substantive and then see... I think that anyone who is buying into Cowen's new piece should also read The Anti-Capitalistic Mentality by Mises especially regarding automation.
Yes, though for an internal project so I can't share it here. Go is pretty well suited for building REST APIs and combines quite easily with a front-end JS app built in Angular.
Didnt Karl Marx predict the very same thing ?
Timestamping services are not novel and date way back before 2012. The earliest work I know of is from AT&T back in the 80's, where they proposed to publish the hash in the NYT. The idea was so well established that there is even an RFC [1] from 2001. And by the way, virtual-notary.org was online for several months or perhaps even a year before the blog post.

But the important differences are actually technical. Virtual Notary is a much more general service, offering to attest to any kind of online factoid. Let's elevate the discussion here -- it doesn't matter who was there first (because the AT&T folks were there two decades before both services), what matters is who offers the most useful service [3].

As for the previous work on selfish mining, see here [2].

The two are rather separate. The only way I can see combining them is if there is extensive server side template-ing. But angular.js kind of discourages that. So you can use go to build a RESTful server and then use angular.js on the front end. But that sort of de-couples the system to the point where it doesn't make sense to talk about an advantage of a combination of both.

Warning issued over Windows XP bug
I especially agree with item #2. I have been involved with several web based projects that have "failed" only because someone loosely associated with the project put a release date and the dev team made the mistake of agreeing (it seemed like a sure thing at the time). However, this deadline took its toll on the team's moral. As it became more and more evident that we would not meet the deadline we became more and more grumpy with each other and started shooting down great product ideas because the couldn't be done NOW. It resulted in lots of bad blood and several resignations.

That being said - I do think there are certain situations where release dates will exist in a SaaS product. For instance, if you market tends to start and stop activities on a set calendar (ie: school year) or if there are a handful of trade shows that are critical to demonstrate new features at. I think it is about being insanely pessimistic about how much you can actually achieve. Figure out the minimum you need to demo at a date and work on that first, but never commit to a set of UI diagrams with features that are not insanely flashy for a demo.

Its cultural. Some cultures value family time over toys - they may want the minimum effort job to optimize for face time with those they love.

They would likely give up working altogether if it were possible. Not judging; its a life choice.

I'm thinking that minimum-effort workers are fine to drop from the employment pool.

What's Harder: Creating Something New or Improving Something Old?
The reason we have inflation in developed countries today today has literally nothing to do with the historic phenomenon of monetary authorities debasing coinage to pay for stuff, and everything to do with an economic system where "money" in circulation is largely privately created credit, with monetary authorities intervening to maintain a target level of inflation. Central banks are not run by Roman Emperors, they are run by economists - who derive no benefit from inflating a currency - and one of the few things virtually all economists agree with is that inflation can be too high, but also too low. May I suggest their beliefs about the role of inflation in the current system are better understood by reading what they have to say, just as one would better understand Chinese foreign policy without focusing on "historically correct" reference to Genghis Khan, the Opium Wars or the Cultural Revolution.

I would think in a 'tulip bulb' bubble supply is not entirely the important variable. Growing demand would be the driving force behind valuation. Losing a few coins would matter not at all. Maybe even a lot of coins.
