Using locations instead of names for data seems like what Rich Hickey means when he talks about Place Oriented Programming.
The assumption is that that a) the amount of hash power one would waste to tinker with transactions retroactively is prohibitively expensive when you control less than 50% versus just cooperatively mining and b) miners care about the price of Bitcoin enough such that the short-term returns of tinkering with any number of transactions are unattractive compared to the massive hit they take when it becomes apparent that Bitcoin is insecure and the price crashes.

I am reporting widespread beliefs rather than endorsing them. Assumption A is problematic if you believe selfish mining is practical. Assumption B is problematic because the history of the largest pool using double spends against a disfavored merchant without meaningful consequences contradicts it.
She obviously has everything to win to tell people to start with a lower wage.
But she mentioned this:

>To emphasize how eager the young woman was to work, she even offered my colleague to waive her wages. Since that didn’t feel right, they decided on a basic salary to start with and agreed to have an evaluation after 6 months and after 1 year.

But I doubt that not paying somebody is legal here in Belgium, and an evaluation after 6 months and 1 year is pretty standard.

I see what you are getting at, but my experience as one of the "mailing list" people for Fluentd (an open source log collector) has been a bit different, especially when a lot of data is written to a file rapidly: For example, when you try to tail a log file with log rotation reliably, you run into all sorts of edge cases. Such issues shouldn't exist if files and streams were truly interchangeable in the context of logging.

I see amazon as a technology company for the 35+ non-tech demo. They're original core biz was book selling on the internet (I will let you decide where the core is now). They carved a niche for themselves in rackspace, but their retail has always been aimed at regular people. They are offering a phone at a competitive price point (after subsidy) that will have access to a massive amount of media (prime video, ebooks, audiobooks, their cloud infrastructure) and above all else, they have a reliable brand that will stand by their product and walk newcomers through using it. People who need a smartphone and are still intimidated by technology. The answer to Siri might just be a real live person (it will certainly work better short term, especially for UX) so I will let you decide if this price point makes sense. Virtually everyone buys contract phones and frankly live support, cloud access, media access, what will be a robust ecosystem, as well as what sounds to be a fantastic and powerful phone doesn't sound over prices @200.

Basically you draw a single quad (2 triangles) covering the entire screen using OpenGL (or DirectX).

A Pixel shader is run when rendering each pixel of the quad. It's only input is often `time` and `resolution`.

At least in GLSL there's a global variable, `gl_Fragcoord` and provides the integer position of the pixel currently being drawn. So for example the pixel at the bottom left is gl_Fragcoord = vec2(0,0). The one directly to the right of that is gl_Fragcoord = vec2(0,1)

Given you're also passed the resolution can get a value that goes from 0 to 1 over the screen with

vec2 zeroToOne = gl_Fragcoord.xy / resolution;

If you were to dump that value directly do the screen you'd get a red gradient going black to red from left to right and a green gradient from black to green going from bottom to top. See http://glsl.heroku.com/e#18516.0

Now it's up to you to use more creative math that given just gl_Fragcoord, resolution, and time write a function that generates an image.

You can play with that in your browser here, http://glsl.heroku.com and here http://shadertoy.com

It's rather unfortunate that this comes so late. Gary Kildall received far less recognition than he was due during his lifetime, and a story -- by all appearances, unfounded -- regarding his sloppy handling of the IBM deal was pushed, mainly for PR reasons, by a lot of tech "journalists" along with the likes of Bill Gates himself. Perhaps even more ironically -- considering IEEE's distinction now -- is that his own alma mater treated him rather unceremoniously, famously inviting him to attend their CS program anniversary in 1992, but asking Gates, a dropout from a rival university, to deliver the keynote speech. He apparently lapsed into alcoholism later in his life, which ended with a motorcycle accident.

I certainly applaud IEEE's initiative, but I cannot shake off that feeling of "too little, too late".

If by such games you mean very specifically MMO's, then sure, I'll concede that time sync may be more valuable, but even then event serialization is normally done via an authority hand-off model that does not actually require time sync.

However, if you mean that all multiplayer games are typically played across "clusters of machines" and thus require time-sync then my original point addressed that.

Something tells me that Dynamic Perspective, as implemented on the Fire phone, might not have been an entirely awful experience to implement. A couple of points:

* Amazon isn't known for wasting time or money. They wouldn't have delayed the release of their first-ever phone for an expensive gimmick. Sticking a cheap gimmick on within time requirements is doable.

* 3D rendering is, well, a solved problem. Accelerometers have been incorporated into phone UIs for more than five years. Even facial detection is in most modern digital cameras. Tying these things together doesn't require sending a whole lot of information back and forth -- you just update a couple of vectors representing estimates of phone location and head location.

I wouldn't be too surprised, given Amazon's track record, to find that Dynamic Perspective started as kind of a "why not?". If people can make cool things out of it, they'll keep it: it might be partially a trick to get developers to target the device, and to make interesting things out of it. If not, it won't be missed.

Your comment is very surprising. I don't see how clock drift can cause the problems you describe. There is no timestamping in the IRC protocol.

You can ask for a server's local time, but that is just for information.

There is a recently-added timestamp extension, but that seems to be to correct for delays so clients can record logs correctly. It is not for keeping the IRC network together.

Already planned for Sublime text 4? Probably another rewrite? I assumed the same faith of Sublime Text 2 is happening with Sublime Text 3 after its release, then. Dead project after people paid to make it released.

Really, how many version does he need to reimplement the same features again and again?

I'm all for him getting my money more than once for Sublime Text. But is it really that hard to at least evolve the Same editor instead of rewriting it over and over just so he can get another round of money?

After paying for Sublime Text 2 and saw how it is abandon almost right after the released, I'm not ashamed to say that I'm just going to keep using Sublime Text 3,4,5,...N in trial version mode.

I'll gladly pay when I see that they updates some minor version for a while after release.

There have always been three text editors: Vim, Emacs, and the closed source Mac editor de jour. I used to think that if only that closed source editor would go open source, it could enter that timeless transcendance of Emacs and Vim.

But now Textmate is open source, and now there is Atom, I am not so sure any more. Neither Textmate nor Sublime Text, nor Atom seem to be able to stand up to the two old ones in term of development community and community involvement.

Maybe it is a question of novelty. Vim still has unmatched key bindings. Emacs atill has unmatched total flexibility. Textmate had snippets (which now everyone has), Sublime Text has multiple cursors (which is maybe not a big enough improvements over macros to matter). Light Table seemed interesting, but probably too narrow in scope. My hope is that Atom's openness will finally allow it to transcend its brethren. But I don't see a compelling reason for that yet.

Too bad. Once you have code generation built in your development process (e.g. combining things with Flyway: http://blog.jooq.org/2014/06/25/flyway-and-jooq-for-unbeatab...), I'm sure you'll get a hang of how things work with jOOQ, and most importantly, you'll get your errors bright and red when you type (or when you build)
Sorry the logging thing and the configuration thing wasn't my point. What I was trying to say was all the best practices and standard way of doing things are not set in stone and should be evaluated at every instance. Beginners write very inflexible code. When intermediate, they learn best practices and about making it flexible and keeping room for the future. But only after seeing enough projects in production, one will know which flexibilities make sense to the project at hand and which don't.

For example, some changes even though very easy to implement are very difficult to push in production because of requirement of senior management approvals.

Also, best practices depend on the actual environment that you work on. For e.g. In one of the projects, the DBA team had very cool people compared to the server admins who were a pain to deal with even when we had all the approvals. So we decided to keep the configurations in a table and not xml, as changes could be pushed easily!

The "pcapd capability" is iOS's remote virtual interface.

https://developer.apple.com/library/Mac/qa/qa1176/_index.htm...

OS 5 added a remote virtual interface (RVI) facility that lets
you use OS X packet trace programs to capture traces from an
iOS device. The basic strategy is:

1. Connect your iOS device to your Mac via USB.

2. Set up an RVI for that device. This creates a virtual
network interface on your Mac that represents the iOS device's
networking stack.

3. Run your OS X packet trace program, and point it at the RVI
created in the previous step.

If you don't pair the iOS device with the Mac, the technique won't work.

What kind of isolation are you using between containers, if any?
Also what makes Vim and Emacs timeless is that they run everywhere. Command Line and Windowed, over SSH or on your machine. This is something no other 'modern' text editor even tries to match.

I've always treated comments as code smells. Not necessarily something bad, but something that at least suggests the possibility of suboptimal code.

One of the best cases for comments IMO is documenting an unexpected behaviour on the part of a third-party API. But even then, correct exception / error-handling code can obviate the need for comments in many cases.

If I'm reading code (from an experienced programmer) and I see a comment, I immediately pay attention, because Here Be Dragons.

> 1. isn't most of your data "de facto" schemaful anyway? Like when you send an API call with JSON, isn't there a standard set of keys that the server is expecting? Isn't it nicer to actually write down this set of keys and their expected types in a way that a machine can understand, instead of it just being documentation on a web page?

I'd argue that it's not.

Your schema is implicitly defined somewhere in the business logic, and you have to first learn the schema description language in order to translate your application code into schema description code. And when the application code changes, you won't be very excited to adjust the schema again.

Sometimes it's worth the effort and makes development easier, often it's the opposite. An error message saying `error: articleId missing in sale object` is more informative than `schema error in line 4282`.
