Of course! I will try to explain a problem:

1. suppose there are two layers L0 and L1;

2. also there are an object O1 of type T which is used by L0, but pointer A1 to O1 is stored in context C at L1;

3. suppose an object O1 was freed, but after a while an object O2 was created at the __same__ address A1;

4. suppose a context C still has a pointer to A1 as a pointer to an object ____O1____;

5. but A1 doesn't have __O1__ anymore, O1 was freed, right now, A1 contains an object O2;

6. suppose after a while, L1 call API from L0 and pass A1 as a pointer to an object O1. OOPS! We have a bug at this point and we don't even know about it!

You may tell that it's unusual situation when O2 created exactly at the same address where O1 was stored. But I can answer that L1 may store objects on the array, say `T Os[100];` . In this case that situation is very possible.

So I solved this problem by introducing PTRID. In short, ptr_id_t contains address and unique id which is incremented globally.

So using PTRID at stage (6) I can catch a bug! See the code.

Note that, PTRID is intended to using for intra-layer calls. Don't use PTRID everywhere because it's a bit costly. Use it for intra-layer calls (i.e. between L0 and L1).

I like the following analogy:

1. memory address space is one-dimensional space.

2. but objects created and freed over the time!

3. so it's not really good to use one-dimensional pointer in two dimensional space!

4. that's why PTRID can be imagined as two-dimensional pointer, i.e. a pair (A, T). Where A is address, and T is time (i.e. global ID in my code).

I might also note that it'd be nice if we pinched some stuff from our neighbour professions. In chemistry you take lab class, in some engineering disciplines there's metalworking or assembly.

It would probably handy to have at least one "shop class", being a mix of tools (here's an editor, here's version control, here's testing) and craft (here's your copy of Code Complete).

Also ... where are the databases? A lot of damage is done in this industry by not understanding the concept of structured storage and querying. If you're going to take discrete maths (including graphs, sets and predicate logic), you'd be missing out if you don't get to apply it.

In my opinion, you're building a niche product.

Personally I believe that niche products are the way of the future and that general platforms (Facebook, Yelp, etc.) will not last in the long run. But from what you described I don't think you made this (implicit) assumption clear, and it's not clear whether that's the sort of business they want to invest in (in the short term, the general platforms will be where the money is made, and it will be the aggregate of the niche platforms - a much more profitable investment than a niche product).

Interesting content, but:

I didn't like the way the list of stores on the RHS seemed to be out of synch with the map, until I realised I needed to be looking at the top of the list, where the items were turning yellow.

A better design IMO would have a highlighted letterbox in the middle of that list, with stores adding to the map as they hit that.
Maybe it is missing your pet theory, but the article has a definite point and Priest argues it at length. You seem not to have grasped the article because you refer to logic as something singular that should not be deemed superior to other modes of thought, while the article demonstrates there are many different, mathematically rigorous conceptions of logic.
Epicycles are a non-sequitur here, because there is not a particular proposition that you set out to prove with whatever explanation you can find. Rather the goal is to find a logic that does not break down when presented with paradoxes.

This plan will likely only displace workers in the low end of the tech job spectrum - one where I see a significant amount of american tech workers doing contract jobs for manual testing, simple tool programming etc. I'm not saying that american workers can only take the low end of the tech market (quite the contrary), but companies have been relying on not-so-skilled contractors for the simple tasks for a long time.

I've seen many highly skilled spouses of H1B visas getting jobs because ultimately companies can apply for these visas already. This one in particular really looks like it is trying to displace the low end of the market by dumping thousands of people on the market who would accept rock bottom wages.

> Any idea why these older sims wouldn't create the correct angular momentum in late-type galaxies?

My understanding from seeing talks this group has given is the culprit was the same effect I mentioned. If the fluid instabilities aren't properly handled, gas flowing onto galaxies stays cold and flows into the centers of galaxies [0], which results in less angular momentum because much of the material is at small radii. Correctly computing the fluid behavior results in gas not plunging directly to the centers of galaxies and instead building up at somewhat larger radii. For a given rotation speed, a larger galaxy will have higher angular momentum, so that's the sense in which their simulation improves on things.

[0] - This behavior has been called "cold flows" or "cold mode accretion" and was seen in simulations, but hasn't had direct observational support.

This is what rayiner is talking about. It's not a captivating argument to people outside of technical circles. You need to meet them on a common ground of understanding, and talking about peering arrangements and telco monopolies hasn't been very successful thus far.

The FCC's antiquated thinking is what opened the door for monopolies, and they don't look to be concerned about changing that, because it's easy to sell the current state of affairs as a success.

The article doesn't make such a statement, and it would be quite a stretch. Although reasoning in science and mathematics is to some sense restricted to logic with binary truth values, this doesn't mean that we are also restricted to such a logic in everyday life.
Ridiculous behavior. I'm glad the black taxis seem to have their customer's well-being at heart.

"Uber, funded by Google, Goldman Sachs and others, has a stated aim of challenging legislation that is not compatible with its business model," said Mr McNamara.

"This is not some philanthropic friendly society, it's an American monster that has no qualms about breaching any and all laws in the pursuit of profit, most of which will never see a penny of tax paid in the UK."

Besides the ridiculous attempt to conflate Uber with evil bankers, it seems strange to suggest "most" of the profit will never be taxed in UK. Aren't all the UK drivers paying taxes?
If that law is correct then it seems they have a perfectly valid complaint, using an app on your phone instead of a dedicated device is just circumventing the spirit of the law.

Whether the law should still exist, and whether this method of protest is appropriate, are other questions of course.

Also, causing gridlock and disrupting the commute is not the best way to make friends and influence people.

"illegal to install taximeters" isn't going to resonate with the public, I think. It's hardly the abuse and exploitation by an monstrous and inhuman Management that kick-started unionization in the first place, anyway.

> Besides the ridiculous attempt to conflate Uber with evil bankers, it seems strange to suggest "most" of the profit will never be taxed in UK. Aren't all the UK drivers paying taxes?

They would, yes - but when any big company gets bad press for not paying taxes in the UK (for example Google), nobody uses the excuse "but their staff in the UK still pay UK tax", the focus is on whether the company's profits are being taxed.
Not sure. I get most of my information via Heise, Skillsmatter webcasts and occasional meetings at local JUG and .NET user groups.
> What a deplorable, luddite attitude.

Well presumably you know their side of the story too?

Presumably (hopefully someone who actually knows can fill us in) the taxi drivers have spent huge amounts of time learning The Knowledge and buying their cars and keeping to the fairly strict regulations that exist, and don't find it fair that another company can offer a service without a level playing field. Presumably.
I couldn't disagree more. I went to an accredited college for four years and I've learned far more about programming through sources I've found online. It's embarrassing how little I was exposed to at such a high price.
The article, and other comments in this thread (mentioning "baseband" etc.) suggest that encryption on the phone can not possibly work.

If I understand correctly, YC will sometimes ask applicants to return soon afterwards for a second, extended interview. So they don't always make a "yes" decision in 10 minutes, but they can make a "no" decision in 10 minutes, which is quite logical. Think of it as the professional equivalent of a coffee date.
What would probably resonate is the 'no tax paid in the UK' argument - that's something that everyone can understand as a negative.
I don't think Christian theology makes the Western tradition any less anti-paradox, because the paradoxes of Christian orthodoxy are dogma, they do not give rise to a systematic treatment of paradoxes as described in the article.

Since when is privacy necessary for freedom? For all I know, privacy actually is what keeps us away from freedom.

Note that the rank-and-file taxi drivers aren't complaining; they'll all get a chance to become Uber drivers. It's the incumbent taxi organization that's upset, because it's about to become a lot less powerful.
I'm not confused, and know exactly what you are talking about.

Call it pedantic, but yes, they do forbid you to send e-mails. Instead, they force you to ask them to send e-mail for you (that's how SMTP relays work). They're not completely forbidding you to use SMTP, but they do require that you go through their servers. That's quite the restricted SMTP usage.

The snail mail equivalent would be to forbid you to ship your mail yourself. Instead you have to give it to the official postal services so they can ship the mail.

Why would they do that? I see only one reason: they want to control your mail. They look at the destination, and maybe decide they won't ship the mail after all. They look at how much mail you send out, and maybe they won't send more than a dozen per day. They may open the mail (or otherwise X-ray it), and take "appropriate" action depending on the content, including not shipping it, building a customer profile of you and your recipients, writing your name on some black list, or archive the mail, just in case.

Spam mitigation? That's just a pretext they use to snoop over your private communications. (Or, more accurately, control their network. They will always push for more corporate control, that's what corporations do.)

Of course, you can bypass the limitation by using HTTP to ask another big corporation to send your mail. And receive and store your mail too. And deeply analyse it so they can show you customized banners. And give it to the authorities whenever they ask for it…

Such an Orwellian nightmare would never fly in the physical world. In the digital one however, they can capitalize on people's ignorance.
This was my thought. Purposely blocking traffic is illegal and I hope everyone of these taxi drivers get fines. This is like a child throwing a fit when they don't get their way...
How easy would that be to prove? At what point does a group of vehicles that happen to be driving down the same piece of road turn into a 'wilful obstruction'?
Yeah I can see why fake data could give you a harder time in terms of lawsuits. Similar to people who fight hotlinking of their content by replacing images with something offensive.
I'm sure you have the best intentions, but if privacy has no downsides for you, please tell us your phone number and street address.
