> That's not quite what a 4th dimension is like.

Of course not. You'll notice that I questioned how truly 4D the game was and said the game appears to have fixed sets of 4D positions (ie: not a continuous range). I also said that my example was fake 4D. If the developer were to show the level editor, I suspect that we'd see it's not really 4D at all, but my fake approximation of 4D via a fixed number of 3D environments that the player can transition between.
If you don't know how web pages work, what pixels and padding and color values mean, all of these solutions suck. Small business owners, students, and even "computer savy" people have a hard time with this.

Weebly isn't a joy to use. It's just easier to use than most of it's competitors, which is what this article focuses on.

There is room for improvement here...
I have a feeling you haven't read through all of the linked posts and papers.

The problem they're trying to address is that C compliers take advantage of undefined behavior for optimizations. Such optimizations can cause very strange, unintuitive behavior that is very difficult to discover. The linked posts, papers, and even this thread provide many great examples.

You're right that the programs are wrong. The goal of this proposal is to make them wrong in reasonable ways.
If GiveDirectly does end up using the methods described in this paper for village selection, it would be very interesting to learn how accurate the method is (of using thatched vs. non-thatched roofs to estimate depth of poverty).

The paper indicates that GiveDirectly did pilot this algorithm in 2014 but does not seem to have numbers on an accuracy increase/decrease and assigns a probable increase to consistency and elimination of human error.
There's a lot of architectures that didn't make it. It didn't just happen to Motorola.

Really, it was just a problem of a maturing market. In the early days of any industry, many bespoke options can flourish. But as time passes and the market matures, power consolidates and there is no longer room for garage-companies.
> i put $50 into one investment instead of the standard $25

It's funny you mention that. I went through a phase where I started doing $50 and $100, becuase I couldn't find enough high quality borrowers. I figured that since I trusted these people with $25, why not a little more. It just hurts more when they default. When I see a high value note charged-off, I just feel more betrayed than usual.
You're missing the point that you are also paying the principal.

He didn't say 'extra' just paying 3 to 4 times. And that 4.5% can be improved upon but only if you go variable rate, if you lock it down for longer it can get quite a bit higher (or if you are considered a higher risk client, such as someone who is self employed).
Fixed. You are right, no reason not to show it.

Drawing lessons from The Innovator's Dilemma is harder than it seems.

In the early 2000s, Nokia's management team often referred to the book. CEO Jorma Ollila has said that he tried to build a corporation that would avoid the traps described in the book. Yet when we look back now, it seems obvious that Nokia was coasting on increasing profit margins and incremental innovation to drive its featurephone and Symbian smartphone lines.

How did that happen? My impression is that Nokia misjudged their market position. They saw themselves as the upstart innovator as compared to traditional PC vendors.

Just before the iPhone was unveiled, Nokia introduced the N95 smartphone with the tag line "This is what computers have become." In Nokia's eyes, their phones were going to disrupt computers in a few years. But they were beaten by Apple's better vision of what the disruptive mobile computer should look like, and they never recovered from that punch.
IMHO 3 months of hard work on Pluralsight courses can give one more practical programming skills than any 3 year Bachelor degree in CS. Debugging, CRUD, somewhat new JS/mobile frameworks are what the majority of software developers need to know for their 9 to 5 job.
Python have a simple syntax, yet a complex implementation, so simplicity is not carried all along the path. A argument could be made this is in part the fault of C... because a state sub-goal of python is easy to integrate with C and back them the way they do it is complex, and because C is worse than python and a lot of code is made with it. So, you have a simpler language in top of a messy one (ie: In contrast with something like for example, pascal).

The problem when try to make something simple is that carry the idea across boundaries/subsystem eventually break. If, for example, you wanna to make a performant language with clean syntax for a multi-procesor setup with intuitive behaviour, but, the base system/os/CPU not make it easy, you eventually need to break the simplicity along the way.

This also touch the problem that to make something simple is necesary the skill and mastery across the whole problem. So perhaps python/ruby is like is because the authors are great at building a aproachable language but not at build the VM. You need to be both.

Contrast with erlang. Amazing VM but whacky syntax. Or haskell, amazing ideas but the way they are teached... seriuously? A functor, monad, who talk like that? Have simplicity along ALL the path... that is hard!

The U.S. Department of Defense is Iridium's largest customer by far, and kept them alive with a large cash infusion at one point (if memory serves).

Also, fun fact: iridium modems provide the only continuous data link for the U.S. South Pole station. There are 12 modems ganged together, used for e-mail and weather info transfer. Bandwidth: 28.8kbps. (the station also has several high-bandwidth uplinks, but the coverage windows for those are limited, and they have to compete with NASA/ISS for bandwidth).
Fractals in theory and practice – CodeProject
I hear the "different C++ subsets" meme all the time. To the best of my knowledge, this is typically cited in relation to template generics, exceptions, multiple inheritance, and RAII being used incongruently. IIRC, Google chose not to use exceptions, but this might be unrelated. (ex-googlers I know have mentioned that Google doesn't care about C++ services terminating and having to be respawned)

Your comment kind of makes me question my understanding of the different subsets issue... Would you mind elaborating? I could really stand to understand this better. If you can't expand on it, thanks for giving me something to look into. :)
Thanks! To your suggestions:

1. I tried to emphasize how important it is to keep the candidate relaxed and comfortable. Your suggestions are good, though we are too small and resource constrained to spend several weeks on interviews; each candidate gets about 6 hours in total, at least an hour of which is with me.

2. I had this process at my last job -- I asked everybody the same opened-ended architectural design question, and found it very useful for hiring back-end engineers, but at npm it's obviously inappropriate for our front-end and CLI engineers, so I've yet to come up with a "standard" question. It's a great suggestion.

As an aside, I am pleasantly surprised to see how many constructive comments there were on this article. Sort of feels like HN from a couple of years ago.
Everything we know about land before recorded history is based off of theories including the idea that valleys are carved by things like wind, ice, water and falling debris. It's interesting to see these theories in action since it takes millions of years for large changes to be evident.

I once had a coworker who used to work at Intel tell me that when a company or product has no competition, it's time to find somewhere else to work, because only bad things will happen to that company's culture.

I kinda suspect that companies in this position are damned if they do and damned if they don't. If they foster internal competition, then the place becomes overly political, nobody cooperates, it becomes miserable to work there, and all the good people leave. If they don't, then there's no sense of urgency, everybody goes off and does their own pet project, people waste time on silly stuff, folks who pay attention to external customer needs can't get the necessary internal buy-in, and all the good people leave.

Eventually competition springs up externally, but by then the organization may have ossified so much that it's incapable of responding to it.
Got a way for me to contact you? I'll cc you with a github link if/when I get around to this. Would love early design feedback. Alternatively, you can email me from the info in my profile. No worries if not interested, of course.

To be fair, YosefK's FQA is a truly great piece of work, and something that every seriuos C++ developer really should read and internalize. The criticisms in it, both of the language and the culture around it, are biting and valid. And it's a fun read too.

Really I think one of the best things to be pointed out about C++11 is that YosefK's response is... a little disappointing. Sure, he makes some good points (I liked the "array[5]={0};" mistake), but really this isn't nearly as strong an indictment as the original was. Frankly modern C++ is a huge step forward (though obviously traps remain), and this is as good evidence as we'll see.

The plane exists - it is passing through the character body (perpendicular to the ground) and parallel to the desert, grass border in the example video.

You can see when the 4D rotation occurs there, that in that plane, everything stays constant (e.g. rocks stay there, trees, etc.) You just look at the objects from different angles as it rotates.

Yeah absolutely. But if you were in the early 90, the number of platforms using the 680x0 you'd think at least one of them would still be around with some very modern version of the architecture. Instead apple went PPC and the rest of the world went Intel (and finally apple too). In some ways that's what makes ARM so fun right now. Intel only is boring and everybody just send to arrive back at the PC on that architecture.
The implications of faster than light communication should not be understated. Using quantum entanglement, you could "send"(whatever that means) a text to someone near Alpha Centari faster than sending a text to someone in Zimbabwe.
Basically, sharding your deployment across multiple free apps.

All user-specific data will by necessity be on a particular deployed copy of the app. If you need something (anything) to be shared across all the apps, I suppose you could set up a specific app for that as well (and depending on the characteristics of that shared data, perhaps on GCE rather than GAE).

It makes it possible to use C definitions directly and inline with no conversion overhead or indirection. When your work is writing fast code, the ability to leverage existing fast code damned well is a feature.

>C++ is like mold
>you don't want it, precisely because this is the most efficient life form compatible with your stale food

You don't want mold because it causes respiratory and neurological problems. C++ does not cause respiratory or neurological problems, unless you count the insanity it inherited from C like, "A character is the same thing as a byte," "A pointer is the same thing as an array" (which isn't even actually true within the language, unless you count parameter declarations), and my personal favourite, "The mathematical value of false, the cardinality of the empty set, and the identity of nothing are all the same thing. After all, they have the same representation!"
I was in Kiev when the Chernobyl accident happened.

The incident was in May. In the summer, I remember seeing people selling mushrooms on the side of the road in the country, as they do every summer. But that summer, the mushrooms were unusually large. Nobody would stop to buy, the mushrooms looked WRONG.

Then in the fall, the chestnuts starting falling from the many chestnut trees in Kiev (emblem of Kiev is chestnut leaf). Usually kids would gather chestnuts, but these chestnuts were lying in the street, half again the usual size. They looked unnatural.

My own body responded even faster -- that early summer I had oozing sores on my lips. I'd wake up in the morning with my mouth glued shut from the dried ooze. I washed my lips with salt water to dissolve the ooze.

I think this is a pretty bad idea for a company unless it is a total passion project. Let's leave aside the boys v girls mentality that is sure to spring up and just look at it as an objective business.

1. Social is insanely crowded, it is such a crowded space and most of the decent niches have been carved out already. Other networks provide nearly perfect substitutes and are already well established an populated.

2. You eliminated 50% of your potential market before launch.

3. Is having 2X chromosomes something that is going to bring people together.

4. This can only work as either an anonymous network (because people will likely just want great opinions from other women who they ALREADY DO NOT KNOW IRL) and that means men and trolls will flood it

OR

5. It has to be a Facebook like social network that really tries to get an actual identity, in which case it is competing with Facebook, which is tough.

I don't see this becoming a huge thing. Would be surprised if they get a million users even in like a few years.
I think that's one of the mistakes people make when investing in LC. The safety of the investment comes from having a small amount invested in a large number of notes. Until you are invested in 800+ notes you shouldn't be investing more than the minimum in any one note. If you look at LC's statistics on investor returns 800 notes seems to be the magic number to amortize the default risk.

Reading the history, Motorola abandoned the 68k (Apple started switching to PPC that same year).

I don't know for sure why Moto dropped it, but lifting from Wikipedia:

While the Motorola 68040 offered the same features as the Intel 80486 and could on a clock-for-clock basis significantly outperform the Intel chip, the 486 had the ability to be clocked significantly faster without suffering from overheating problems, especially the clock-doubled i486DX2 which ran the CPU logic at twice the external bus speed, giving such equipped IBM compatible systems a significant performance lead over their Macintosh equivalents
