There's no lack of weight with the F150: curb rate appears to range from about 4700 to 6200 lbs [1]. The trouble with trucks in snow is the distribution of that weight.

Yes, but SPDY does compression of headers and so the same cookie being sent should be compressed.
It's definitely possible within a couple years (I've done it). Just live a very frugal life (have some roommates) and you can easily sock away several hundred thousand dollars.

In most companies, if you're a programmer you'll also be working with people who make a lot less money than you. If they're managing to survive in the area, just live like them and you can save lots of money.
I find Workflowy to be excellent.

Because there is no such thing as a gmail account or a youtube account, there is a Google account that has these services as features. You can created a separate Google account with new gmail and youtube included and use either or both to fit your needs.

Facebook will store 2000x1???, and the technique proposed here requires 6000x6???. That's a factor of about 20, not 100.

Personally, I will enjoy seeing high res pictures of other people on my 4k monitor when I get one.

Again, not saying I'm 100% that you're wrong, but you're making a bold and unprecedented prediction.

I would argue that Her is the best movie this year about technology. It shows how HUGE the impact on relationships could be without ever focusing on the technology itself.

>He never said that Moore's Law explains everything.

I was referring to the fact this is on kurzweilai.net and Kurzweil tends to think it does explain everything: how we're going to beat the turing test in 16 years, how he's going to resurrect his dead father, etc.

From the subtitle to the last paragraph, the article clearly implies that this technique will soon be applied to social networking sites. And it seems to use Moore's law to handwave the details.
I have up to four lists per task (tasks themselves form a hierarchy):

- todos: for the immediate future

- goals: for longer term objectives

- ideas: for spontaneous 'eureka' moments

- gotos: related bookmarks and local folders

Whenever I'm done with an item, it goes from the list into the task timeline where I journal all other progress.

I manage them all with a tool I wrote myself, called tau
(shameless plug, http://signup.tau.la)
I agree 100% with this (although, I would still optimise javascript where you can). My experience with any older browser has been that either loading resources or updating the DOM have slowed things down, and never the actual javascript.
I use different tools for different purposes. I have Trello always open as a Fluid app (http://fluidapp.com/) for work projects, but I use Workflowy for personal ToDos, as well as long-term goals, project ideas, and everything else (I keep the day-to-day to do list at the top, and then underneath it is all sorts of misc topics - gift ideas, fonts I like, etc - pretty much anything I want to keep a running list of, I keep on workflowy)
Another example from 4chan: http://chrishateswriting.com/post/68794699432/small-things-a...
Pen and paper. I have few lists, e.g. life goals, everyday stuff (like groceries) and work/programming. I have tried multiple on-line tools but only paper and pen works for me (or white board if avaible).

> You'll have a hard time moving up the ladder on Wall Street or in Silicon Valley if you live in a low-COL area. You have to signal confidence to be groomed for promotions, and that requires buying a house in an expensive place (Brooklyn Heights is OK in most circles) and sending your kids to brand-name private schools.

That's true, but that's also only if you really want to be moving up a lot in finance. Elsewhere, you can make $150-200k as a developer without anyone caring where you live. Just live off $75k and save the rest—soon enough you'll have a couple hundred thousand dollars in savings.
You have to design with the user in mind. Always.
Well JavaScript is not necessarily the best example. Lua gives you access to the environment a function is in (_ENV in Lua 5.2), which gives you control of the global.
At the root directory of every project I have, I have a notes.txt. It contains my To Dos for that project, as well as other misc information. I just mark them [DONE] when they're accomplished. I never have to leave my IDE, get online, deal with custom formats, etc. It's also nice seeing the previous [DONE] items from past releases.

I also make heavy use of the built in notes app on my phone (500+ entries) and they serve as idea buffer when I'm away from my computer.

It was a turn of phrase, but really I just meant that in my experience it's healthy to have something to aspire to – that's why we always compare to fully optimized C and Fortran. It's easy to fall into an "interpreter bubble" and forget that there's a whole other realm of performance out there. And of course, interpreters can be quite fast – CPython is no slouch and Wren is giving it a run for its money, so kudos. Femtolisp [1] (which we use for Julia's parser) is a great example of a small and simple, yet fast and featureful interpreter. I really want Jeff to write a little book about it, walking the reader through the implementation.

Nearly 30 years ago, John Horton Conway introduced a new way to construct numbers. Donald E. Knuth, in appreciation of this revolutionary system, took a week off from work on The Art of Computer Programming to write an introduction to Conway's method. Never content with the ordinary, Knuth wrote this introduction as a work of fiction--a novelette. If not a steamy romance, the book nonetheless shows how a young couple turned on to pure mathematics and found total happiness.

I think closed-over mutable state certainly has its place. For example, delay and force in Scheme. Mutable local state is used to memoize the result of the delayed procedure. Of course, it would be terrible for a large program to keep all of its state within a closure. You eliminate the benefits of live-coding from your REPL at that point since you can only directly affect the top-level environment.
More advanced materials with lower noise characteristics can theoretically produce perfectly reasonable images from single photon impacts.

I'd recommend having a look at dbpedia as well - that was better for less structured data than in freebase for my tests.

Freebase has great structured data about art movements though, which is likely to be more useful.
I don't consider it censorship. I view it as curated content, which is what I strongly desire. Censorship would mean you or I couldn't get access to valleywag to see what it has to say. That clearly is not the case.
Many cars prior to the F-150 have had aluminum bodies (Land and Range Rovers, for instance) that sold well. I would think that many truck drivers are more concerned with towing capacity, power and fuel economy than the specific metal the body is made from. Besides, the aluminum won't rust!
In a lot of old BASICs you can type "?" instead of "PRINT" [1]. I bet that's why they put PRINT on that key. Just an observation.

Rediscover the Good in What You Do
No, we never felt pressure to take funding. We thought of funding is a tool to speed things ups. We built our product, customer base first. The first versions were rough and needed our involvement to a much higher degree then it does today.

We decided "we can grow faster then our revenue if we have cash". We raised our seed from investors we knew well that would have been happy with dividend returns.

After another year, of great traction we decided to go for an 'A' to prove out the sales model. We still had 3/4ths of the seed round in the bank at this point so we only needed the money for growth, not operations.
The Land Rover has had an aluminium body since 1948, plenty of time to figure out if it's a good or bad choice for an off-road vehicle.

There seems to be a lot of FUD around the new F-150, and as a European, it's hard not to see the similarities with U.S reactions to small turbocharged engines, and smaller vehicles in general.

On non-SPDY connections, it won't be, correct? Seems like the best approach might be to simply serve different static asset URLs based on User-Agent sniffing.
I personally find it extremely telling that there isn't a single line of code in the buzzword filled page.

The entire tree concept he is talking about seems like a misplaced faith that you can achieve that kind of separation.

My gut says that in moderate to large sized programs so much state would end up under the root, just out of laziness, time constraints, over-complexity or lack of programmer skill, that you'd have the worst of all worlds.

I just caught the end of the global variables era and have worked on a few programs where the state of things can get modified anywhere.

It is not pretty.
Right. There's no reason for the intervals to be closed that I can see.
Email.

I have Gmail labels for different categories and different priorities/complexities. My goal is inbox zero, so when I finish my list I pull from the labels based on the priority, complexity, and what area I'm working in (i.e. marketing, dev, content, etc.).

If I'm busy or something comes up I'll just push the items back into the folders to clear my mind and pull them out again later. If items are quick (i.e. I can do them in under a minute) I'll usually knock them out all at one time.

I'm sure there are other great solutions out there, but I don't need yet another app/account and the pain isn't great enough to switch or even try anything else. When it comes to apps (and most things), I'm a minimalist.

If Google incorporated (or someone built) a better to-do list (i.e. more robust than tasks) that worked well with Gmail they'd have massive adoption. I saw the Todoist Gmail plugin, but it's not what I'm looking for. I'd like to set some labels as to do lists. For example, if I move some emails to a label/folder I'd be able to set a priority for them and optionally a due date. I'd also be able to set a default reminder schedule for each one.

Something that isn't too complicated and uses a lot of what already exists. The key is using the workflows, processes, and tools that people already use and just making it better.
I expect big things in the coming decades coming out of computer vision & image processing. I wouldn't be surprised if algorithms to 'zoom & enhance' images reach the levels we laugh about in movies today.

Due to aluminum?

> Isn't the whole point of a pickup to most people (not all) being imposing and bulky?

This is a whole discussion in itself. Modern pickups, to my eyes, look more like cartoons of pickups. The manufacturers (in my mind, especially Nissan and Ford) go out-of-their way to add big, chunky fenders and grills and such. It must sell. And small trucks are disappearing: Ford's Ranger is gone in the US market, and Toyota's Tacoma is now as big as the F150 of a decade or two ago.

I've noticed a few people say they've just gone out and found an angel instead of working freelancing/etc. during development. Out of curiosity - how do people go about this? Do you meet people through your existing contacts? Do you search on the internet? Do angels generally need to be people in the same country?
When you invoke a object class to create an instance, you are invoking a global shared, so all things with its merit.

“local state is good, global shared state is bad” and all those (very easily over)simplistic kind of thoughts are like pain killers. They might alleviate you in a moment of affliction but they can be also be addictive beyond the point of benefit. In that regard, yes, something could be poison.

Your line of thought here will make you converge to invigorate some kind of proceduralism. Sorry I don’t know what your domain problem is but you seem to be experiencing an object oriented overhead that you feel like starting to hurt.

You can go ahead and proceduralize things (functions against a remote datastore) but I wouldn’t be so fast in questioning the object design fundamentals. I'd try harder* to remove the original painful overheads or whatever real pain is in your design.

*by harder I don’t mean to be muscular or that you aren’t paying effort to it. Harder could mean to do something as easy as asking to hacker friends to use their fresh unbiased view for a problem/code review.

Listen all, pay attention to some, then ignore everybody (including me)
I've taken second jobs as both a barrista and fitness trainer alongside my full time tech/software engineering jobs.

In both cases they were lower stress and more rewarding. In the case of training, i felt like my work had a real impact on people's lives that I never felt in tech.

My wife and I even dabbled in livestock including raising sheep, pigs and chickens.

Perhaps the fact that the main purpose of my secondary jobs was not money, but getting to know people in my community and connecting with them was what made them lower stress. If I had been reliant on them as a primary source of income they may have taken on all the headaches of my day job.

I've never liked sitting at a computer all day. I went to college for it, got a good job right after college and was never able to make nearly as much money doing anything else.

I'm constantly trying to reduce my possessions and live minimally in the hopes that I can support myself and my family doing something I enjoy even though it will almost certainly be for much less money.
I want to start a business that gives me the freedom (in terms of both money and time) to pursue my real goal, which is to build advanced general purpose robots. So I guess that's kind of like a "lifestyle" business but doesn't have much to do with what the term "lifestyle" usually implies.

I checked option 3.
Someone's going to have the fun job of porting this to UEFI at some point in the not-too distant future.
Agreed 100% on the value of eliminating personal financial risk.

However, I do think that it's possible to get enough traction for investment without taking on any personal financial risk. You can build an MVP over nights and weekends and start selling it enough to demonstrate market need. For good VCs, that + a compelling story should make them interested.

Pen and paper, using Bullet Journal conventions (http://www.bulletjournal.com/).

Ultimately the problem I have with digital todo lists is todo-creep. Lists become large and unwieldy. Old todos are not automatically deleted. Pen and paper allows you to make a fresh start each day. If there is an important task you didn't finish the day before, you'll remember it and add it to the new day.

Bullet Journal allows you to organize the todo in a way that I find very useful. I've been using it for about six months now and don't think I'll ever switch.
Interesting, I was just puzzling over a postgresql indexing question myself. The generated migration to create one of my tables automatically generated indexes on the foreign keys. However, after further considering my model, I want to make the index on one of these foreign keys unique. Is there any way for a migration to alter the index, or do I just have to delete the old index and create a new one? Based on what I've seen so far, it looks like I have to delete and recreate, but I wouldn't mind confirming that.
>DDG, Blekko, and all search sites other than Google/Bing/Yahoo/Aol/Ask are together less than 0.3%-1% of the US market. And yet this market is wildly profitable for Google – and almost no one else.

I think this sums it up perfectly. Theres plenty of competition just no one can compete because google offers a superior product. As soon as google offers an inferior product or a competitor offers a better product people will abandon ship. They do nothing anti-competitive nor blocking entrants into the market.
Slander lawsuits drive traffic, too.
As a hobbyist photographer, I can tell you the problem with this will be optics. The discussion here (and the article itself) seems to act as if sensor pixel density is the primary limiting factor on resolution at this point - and it's not. [1] is an article that has a good and through discussion on sensors out-resolving lenses.

So, your limiting factor is glass, and manufacturing precision on that end is moving forward much slower than on the sensor.

I'm using it less lately, but https://workflowy.com/ is a really good solution to the to-do list problem.
I don't think body shops will much care either way once they get over the initial shock and how to prep for paint. Most body work these days is remove & replace of large panels. Instead of welding they will have to use adhesives (or train their workers to use a TIG) and they will need to have a dedicated set of abrasives for the aluminum work.

Aluminum damage to the structural (sub)frame is a whole different beast than in the (non-structural) body panels. Aluminum work hardens when bent. When it hardens it become brittle and can crack from stress and vibration. Any damage has to be completely replaced with fresh metal.

Corrosion is still an issue with aluminum though it tends to self-protect itself. If you really want to mess up something aluminum add some mercury..

If you take a number which is for argument sake and call it "silly", that is fine by me. To argue that liquidity preference clauses are the ONLY method to avoid the principal-agent problem (and that's not the only reason it's there in the first place), both you and I know that there are other, more entrepreneur friendly, methods to go around this issue.

There was an article linked yesterday (sorry, don't have the link) which discussed the Reals in considerably more detail and sidetracked into a reformulation of the Reals that rigorously allows for Newton's infinitesimals without being "complete" in the "least upper bound" sense (and indeed, depending on the classes of functions you care about, doesn't even require an uncountable set).
Google loves things that scale, and customer support doesn't scale that well I guess.

Alternatively, couldn't they start a pay-per-minute service? I recently had an issue with GMail where I was receiving someone else's mail.

Wouldn't have minded paying a few dollars to have that one rectified at the source.
