Believe me, I can't see any either. They are company issued laptops that need to follow certain security procedures. I brought in my mac and ported my code, had like a week of GREAT development before 2 "officials" from the information security team demanded I delete any and all code in front of them. You are absolutely not allowed to use anything beyond the company hardware and software, and I got the short end of the stick as all the good machines have already been "leased" for other projects.

Michael, you tend to make interesting points that get brushed under the rug because you can't resist throwing your hobby horse issues into every conversation.

"mainstream business culture of entitled executives and board-whores"

This ignores the huge and growing influence of engineer-led companies, YC empowering founders vs financiers, and technical VCs like a16z. The tech leadership here is miles better on average than any other city I've worked in or know through friends.

"Snapchat and Clinkle setting the tone in the current Valley"

I know these companies piss you off, but they're not setting the tone in the Valley. They're more like an NBA player getting a max contract without making the playoffs. Google, Facebook, Apple, Twitter are all waaaaaaay more important than anyone taking VC money right now. And if you're talking about "hot topic" companies, Whisper and Secret are relevant now than either of the two you mentioned.

"rents becoming unaffordable"

This is not a tech issue, this is a structural local government land use issue present everywhere in the US but more of an issue here because of SV's wealth (vs income) generation.

"no-poach agreements all over the Valley"

This is a big deal for a large number of employees, but Facebook crashed that party years ago, and it didn't apply to startups anyway. Besides, breaking that cartel probably raised rents even more.
True, but since Mac OSX is already known by most people to be *nix based, at least this audience, I felt like that might just add to confusion. There are certainly other OSs like BeOS that I didn't mention, in part because I didn't think they added to the discussion, and also while having fond memories of BeOS, I honestly don't remember what it used. I want to say it was LF, but I no longer remember.
Yea but isn't the idea of VR fundamentally flawed ? I mean I can imagine how presence feels like magic when you're just sitting still looking around, but is it really possible to move your avatar around without breaking presence ? I mean your body won't feel the centripetal force, nor the tactile sensations so it seems like any movement at all would break the illusion.. and if presence is broken then you might as well just be playing a FPS on a nice monitor.
Do you contribute to open source? Do you go to user groups? Do you network with other professionals?
If you do any of those and are a competent developer getting offers should be easy. Most good developers who network even just a little bit get contacted by recruiters fairly regularly. On the other hand if you are not a strong developer no matter how much you network no one is going to contact you about open positions at their company.
This is just an initial release/prototype. Pretty sure it will improve with time. Glad to see Sony breaking new ground and also glad that e-ink technology is improving.

I'd love to see an East Coast incubator as well ;)

I'm in the D.C. Baltimore region, and the DC-to-Dulles tech corridor and the Bethesda, MD biotech region are huge tech regions.

There's a very large small/bootstrapped tech business scene here, they just don't call themselves "startups" quite as often. Most folks I know out here get funding from SV or Boston and not the local area.

The main problem of course is that many investors (and potential board members and mentors) fundamentally don't understand how to do business in this area, where the major customer is the USG. It's been done (e.g. Palantir), but they were working off of SV cachet more than local talent. Even simple things like release schedules (which inform and are driven by development practices) are different, plus the additional processes around getting approved for use on USG systems (not just DOD!) are things that outside companies just don't really understand how to deal with.

Big SV (and West Coast) companies do have significant presences out here, but they tend to be more large "sales offices" than proper tech shops.

edit I mean, there's In-Q-Tel I guess...that's part of Palantir's early story as well...and probably a large part of how they've been successful. Understood the climate, negotiated access for them, and basically helped them navigate the byzantine environment.
You know, I almost didn't click on the article because of the nature of the title. But Wired has been consistently good in my experience, so I gave them the benefit of the doubt. The article lived up to their good reputation in my mind.

So that leaves me wondering why they chose such a title knowingly. I suspect it was to poke fun at such linkbaity titles. I also suspect that they rely more on regular readers than being linked to, thus they can allow themselves the risk of being confused for linkbait.

Of course, this argument is somewhat one-sided: people who didn't read the article won't bother to come here and tell us whether it lived up to their expectation for the title. In some cases, I do read the HN threads but not the articles just to avoid a website but see what poeple have to say about a topic.

Sure - and I think Sony e-readers were even among the first to allow side-loading of non-DRM ebooks.

The problem is the economics. There just haven't been financially successful examples of standalone readers, and Sony has been no exception.

Amazon can offer cheap Kindles because they can sell ebooks onto the devices directly and make money from content. Apple can charge more for their books because people are bought-in to their iPad investment, and because competitors have to pay Apple 30% to sell directly on to an iOS device.

Sony, meanwhile, continues to fail to bring an integrated value proposition to the market. Everything with them involves friction, compared to the competition. Last time I was at CES, I couldn't even find a Sony reader in their booth.

I said "in the same context". "Woman", "women" are very common words, but men revert to "girl", "girls" when they (usually unconsciously) are looking down on the woman in question. It should stop. As a term of endearment used by another woman it is clearly not the same thing.

To be clear: you're saying that each of the the sensor lines are at slightly different angles and that this is due to sharing (at least for some of them) the same lens?

If so, that shared lens would be exactly the part of this that I was missing. Honestly, it doesn't look like there's a shared lens between the red and the other two, as you point out, but I guess it could be sharing a lens with the "unused lines" marked in the diagram that puts it at a distinct angle.

As a test of my understanding - would I be correct in saying that when the article says "The red and infrared rows are paired on one CCD array, while the green and blue sensors are on a second array, which is why the red plane often seems much further ahead than the green and blue planes." it's going a little too far: there's no reason that the red line would have to be inherently at a greater angle than the other three? I used to interpret this line as just meaning "the green and blue are closer together than the red is, so the red image will be further apart" but that should be insignificant.

I'm curious - does anyone know how they calibrate this kind of equipment or are the tolerances good enough that they don't really need to? Do they take passes over known objects to calibrate or do some algorithmic test for how well the three colors match up (in a non-moving example).
I would agree ... except that I've seen cases in which it didn't make a difference.

e.g. if the File implementation had an internal buffer (C stdio's "FILE " does), and the read from that* buffer was inlined (from my past experience up to date as of early 2011, HotSpot doesn't, but LuaJIT does), it might not make any difference.

Seriously, LuaJIT does things I've never thought I'd see a compiler (JIT or AOT) for any language (dynamic or statically typed) do. I used to reply to "sufficiently smart compiler" with "one hasn't appeared yet, despite at least 3 decades of waiting". But LuaJIT has appeared.

Are file I/O asynchronous in Warp ?

On a related topic could you tell us about coroutines/fibres in D ... How are they implemented ? Can they be called from C ? are they are used in D's standard library, examples of a few notable use cases (I guess one would be Vibe.d), examples of asynchronous idioms in D.

Since that's a lot of questions, pointing to documents would be fine too.

..and thanks for answering questions here.

First of all, relax. Life isn't about accomplishment. It's about conscious experience. Everyone who isn't Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, or Elon Musk is a "failure" compared to them. And they in turn might be considered failures compared to Augustus Caesar.

If you want to get better at taking tests, then practice them a lot. It's like getting good at chess. Anyone can do it, even people of average intelligence.

Most employees starting at a new business have no idea what the internal processes are. That applies to programming frameworks just as much as the procedures for refilling the coffee maker.

That basic learning is takes place in the first days/weeks of anyone's new job. There is no basis that the employer should not pay him just for not knowing how to 'hit the ground running'.

He would be much better off taking the time to look for other opportunities.

I'll add to this, pay attention to your chairs. I originally thought my injury was in my leg (that's where all the pain was). It had lasted 3 weeks before it was properly diagnosed. After being put on steroids and starting PT I saw quick improvement, but I plateaued after a couple weeks. I realized that my chairs at home were the problem after I spent a few nights sitting at my kitchen table working on a project. That chair put me in a posture that helped a lot. Switched back to another chair for a couple nights, I got worse, switched back, I got better. So try different seats for a few nights each, you may find that the ones that feel comfortable to sit in are actually hindering your recovery.

That makes a little more sense. I'm very interested in this project. I might actually jump on board after I see it in action for a few months.
"Any GUI is a graphical language for a constrained problem."

With that broad a definition (and I don't think it's horribly unreasonable), I agree it doesn't need a citation (even if I think GUIs are overapplied).

I tend to think of it as evolution: new ideas that succeed and improve performance multiply, new ideas that fail disappear, and old ideas that are still efficient live on.

People still typing the same Unix commands into terminals do it because it's still the most efficient way to accomplish those things. Maybe it's always going to be the optimal solution for some tasks.

Just because an idea is old, doesn't mean it's bad or wrong.
I suspect they meant flexible in the usability sense rather than in the physical sense :/
Yeah, I'm most familiar with graphical programming by way of hearing people complain about LabView.
Indeed. I will never buy another Kodak product again.
I'd suggest not spending so much time that you'd have to basically hit the lottery to not lose money on it. There is no "correct" amount of time, but the odds of losing money is really really high when you spend 14 months on an iPhone game. They happen to hit that lottery and so they are doing well, but the odds were not in their favor.

Take a look at your expected payout and budget your time and money accordingly. I know the app store is like a lottery, but you can make it so that your default is closer to break even with a lottery ticket, instead of default of losing tons of money with a possible lottery ticket.
That's kind of the thing... that there are other ways of programming (IDE instead of text editor), but for interesting languages, there's no clear cut proof that IDEs are actually better.

For languages specifically such as Java, which have very verbose syntax, and huge amounts of boilerplate for large projects, then sure, an IDE is an improvement.

But even IDEs, really, haven't much changed. And the fact that we even still can have the discussion, sort of proves that it's not that much of an improvement.

The core of his argument was the sequential text in 20+ year-old languages.

A radical change would be similar to how 3d materials & render chains have improved in the last 20 years. From editing Renderman text files, to the nodes system: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=blender+render+nodes That's a radical shift.
the SIMD usage is mainly to do two things.

In the lexer, it is used for block comment skipping. It will find the end of block comments 16 characters at a time (on both PPC and x86).

During line number computation, it will also find newlines 16 characters at a time.

This could actually (nowadays) be done 32 characters at a time on newer processors, but isn't.
People say the treatment in England is much better, and it is, unless you are under 18.

MH treatment is underfunded in England (and this has recently been written into commissioning contracts) and it is worse for children and young people.

In patient beds for children are limited. A child who needs an in patient bed may have to travel hundreds of miles to get that bed. They may even need to travel to a different country.

A child in the south of England may not have a bed available anywhere in England and might need to go to Scotland for a bed.

Apart from the obvious cost of distance and the distress of being so far from home (although getting distance from an abusive home can be useful) that child is now under a different legal system. Thus, the rules for detaining them against their will; force feeding; forced medication; etc etc are all slightly different.
that prototype is basically nothing like what the end result will be. And yeah, it will be keyboardable :)
You seem to be familiar with these feelings, any ideas for fixing this?!
That is really the big question about open mesh networks: how much of other people's traffic is going through your open node. The more traffic you allow, the further the mesh can reach. But I really think it should be zero in the case of phones for security/privacy and limited battery reasons. That of course means you are limited to people within direct reach of your phone's broadcasting power (would be interesting to get actual numbers for this).

Also, the surveillance issues around mesh networks seem rather thorny. Being open, it seems trivial for authorities to set up listening stations everywhere. Yes, you are an anonymous handle, but you are also very localizable.

Just as an additional data point, another example of mesh network is the smart meter. It uses more powerful wifi, but it sends its data through other smart meters (down the street through your neighbor's smart meters) to reach its recipient (the phone company).

Probably on the path to scan codes. By using scan codes, they could abstract what a particular key meant and thereby remap the keys so that they didn't have to match the ASCII table layout. I still don't understand why we evolved scan codes the way we did. This requires the OS to be in sync to be able to map them back.

It may completely shock some of you stuck in bubble land, but many people don't want to live in SV. Even for a day.
That fits well within my use of the term "reimplementation." I appreciate the specificity of your response, though - always best to answer every possible question when you're not sure which is meant.
I get where you're coming from much better now. Looking at your original comment/OP's post, I think a lot of the replies you got substituted in information from the OP in places where you did not specify. You've cleared it up though and don't sound so draconian anymore though!

1) The fire in the kitchen isn't the developer's responsibility as he is an employee and does not own the property or the problem. The company is hiring the developer to do work for them - that work includes fixing problems regardless of who created them. If the developer were on a contract for 1 month and something he created exploded on 1month+1day then the developer is under no responsibility to fix that problem. That extends just the same to an employee and shows how the employee is not responsible for the fire. Of course, most employees are going to happily stay and fix what they broke as it's part of professional integrity - but the business owner should really be saying "thank you" in that situation as the employee has gone beyond his employment contract to help. So I disagree with you - the developer being the only one able to solve a problem does not make him responsible in any way. If the developer received the rewards of ownership then he would be responsible.

I'll admit that it doesn't work like this in most cases as employees are scared of getting fired and act more like indentured servants than anything - but as a manager you should try to be above that, I think.

2) Definitely not standard - and the OP who you wrote your comment to is clearly not being offered overtime. He is being told to work more with no mention of more pay. The company wouldn't want him working overtime if it was costing them more than hiring another employee.

3) So the developer deliberately sabotaged established company procedure. I'm not sure what it has to do with the OP so it's probably why the replies to your comment seem confused. At any rate, it's a completely separate issue and even if the dev stayed all weekend to fix the problem, he should still be getting a very stern official warning to follow safety procedures. Seems like an orthogonal issue.
