For a less nifty, but probably also less complex solution, I'm using Ciseco radio units to build some home automation at the moment. They're available for < $20, and with the right aerial have a range measured in kilometres (although more usually a few hundred metres). I'm pretty sure there's also a repeater mode on the actual radio modules if you need extra range.

Project FOO, Chapter 5, Verse 18-27 (King Linus Version)

And 171b25e, after one hundred sixty and two log entries begat fe961ca.
And 171b25e continued as a tagged branch after it begat fe961ca while
the author made eight hundred more log entries, and begat further
experimental feature branches. And when the number of log entries
wase nine hundred sixty and two, 171b25e's branch was closed.

After fe961ca was sixty and five years log entries, and was known
as e56b8bd, who begat 882b79d. And e56b8bd was rebased to the
project root after it begat 882b79d.

And 882b79d preceded a hundred eighty and seven log entries and was
then known as b6ff3ed, and begat 99e395a. And b6ff3ed continued after
it begat 99e395a for seven hundred eighty and two log entries and
begat many experimental feature branches.

And the current HEAD of the house of proj/foo.git is still 99e395a.

For a serious answer, "git log" should be very durable, and if you want a nice graph with it, something like this has benefits of both text and graphs:

Just read basic economics, it is really simple.

VC ecosystem is insignificant. Easing will stay until its results are aligned with leaders priorities.
When western governments hold so much debt the only realistic way of dealing with it is inflation, hence QE.
It's different because this time it's VC money, not people's savings.

When a company is listed, the stock price better reflect the actual market value of the company (otherwise a dot-com bubble happens). However, if rich VCs like to bet on startups, that's expected to be a high-risk investment.

A counterpoint. You're describing the American situation. Most (central?) European orchestras are at least partially publicly funded and therefore relatively stable. As they do not rely solely on donation (by old farts as you imply), they are able to experiment far more and also provide a stage for new composers, new works. Same for opera houses. As they are modernizing the interpretations of symphonies and especially the screenplay in operas, they become politically and socially relevant again. There is little worse than enduring a ballet in the style of the 19th century, but watching a modern piece can be a really great experience.

So government endowments enable orchestras to experiment and hence stay relevant. Without those your analysis is spot on.
I'd argue that the moment we're not trying to convey emotional impact, but instead, raw information, text wins even in those cases.

Text is a very compact digital form, which is excellent for copying, splicing, recombining, algorithmic parsing, etc. Our computers are essentially, even in the case of MP3 or JPEG formats, storing it as a textual string and only at the very end, converting it back to images or sound.

The primary uses for non-string/text based formats (and encoding schemes related to those) is when we're trying to get our (or others') brains to react in a particular emotional manner, for which it obviously makes sense to poke the right buttons.

I was referring to "development using C++", which encompasses the language, compilers, build tools, code editors, ecosystem, basically everything that is involved when you're doing work and distributing result binaries.

There are IDEs that have their proprietary project formats that are incompatible.

Having header files makes refactoring by hand much more difficult than necessary, yet refactoring tools for C++ are mostly not possible.

What's often missing in these discussions is that a lot of the value of the companies is based on the threat they present to actual profitable companies, like Google and Facebook, and has nothing to do with whatever revenue they currently have.

The real reason WhatsApp were worth so much is they started to look like an existential threat to Facebook. Similarly for Instagram and SnapChat. Uber will in the long run to Google.

One of the best get rich startup models today is to create something where it looks like you'll take away the core raison d'etre of another entrenched service, and it will radically inflate your value.

Well, technically VC money is people's savings, usually parts of pension funds I believe.

Thanks, seeing the discussion, for a moment I thought I'm the only one thinking this way.

Regarding people suggesting to "look into myself what I did wrong" - I was totally flabbergasted as to why I was downvoted, that's exactly why I wanted to ask and, hopefully, learn something. The only ideas I had were those I listed, but none seemed to match.

Now, from the comments I learned something, that the quotes I used were apparently seen by some as "selective" and/or not reflecting the message of the article. Now, this at least explains somewhat the reasons, and for this I'm grateful; although I actually still can't say I agree, given that: 1) I believe I'd personally rather comment instead of downvoting in such case; 2) quoting is always more or less selective, yet here the quotes are quite large, and I'd still stand by opinion they do reflect the contents of the article; 3) the movie is composed fully of assertive sentences, and the quote and the article do counter them explicitly (e.g. movie: wolves -> willows grow higher; article: willows don't grow higher) and references multiple scientifical studies for that IIUC; 4) actually one of most important reasons I admire HN is when people provide calm but strong counterarguments to anything with quotes and references to scientifical papers, so that's what I try to do too...

You forget that rendering a movie is almost infinitely scalable. Imagine, even when using only single-threaded code, you could scale for 130,000 nodes as there are about this many frames in a 90 minute movie at 24 fps. This is not totally true of course, for example you might want to do light or particle system calculation which persist across frames, but the general rendering bit is extremely scalable.
I like this and bookmarked it, but I have to say that the extended "atom" metaphor is kind of confusing.

"Atoms" are already called elements. "Molecules" are called many things (components, widgets, templates, etc.). And most baffling of all, you're calling apps "organisms"?

I totally get the end-to-end branding thing, and I even like it when it's done simply (e.g. "Droplets" on Digital Ocean).

But in principle, all it's doing is forcing us to learn a new language that isn't adding anything to our understanding or simplifying anything -- all it's doing is maybe, slightly strengthening your brand.
Just to prove a sibling comment's point, I copied and pasted all of your translations in to Google, where it was able to auto-detect the language based on how text encoding works, and was able to render them in to my native language. It took under 5 minutes to do all of them. (I got the languages Polish, Swahili, Yiddish, and Japanese.)

I doubt it would have been nearly so trivial had you given us sound clips or a picture of those words written out.

It's simply the case that digital strings, of which text is a kind, are most amenable to algorithmic manipulation, and are the basis of most of our computing tools. Even when computers deal with other types of data, the first step is almost always to reduce it to this form. (Which would have been the case with a picture of the characters written - it would have located the characters and recreated the digital text.)

Medium matters.

Yes, there are many interesting things in coServ. Below are some of them:

. Pages of a website usually repeat themselves in a big way. coServ help developers to break up pages into smaller regions and blocks. By doing so, we have better chances to reuse blocks.
. Blocks are like the server side web components.
. You can embed Javascript code not just in HTML, but into CSS or even Javascript itself. That gives you lots of power to write very concise codes.

As an user, I only use Google Play. All the apps are there, except for copyright infringing ones and porn.
I guess you could add Humble Indie Bundle to the mix since they have an app (it is terrible though) but it only allows you to download games you have already bought on their website.

As a dev, our app is on Google Play, Amazon App Store (they pushed very hard for us to publish our app on their platform) and the Blackberry Store (common codebase with our Android app, but should be phased out soonish).
The Dot Com bubble was VC-fueled too. Probably more so than this go-round, because it took more capital to start most kinds of companies back then.
Advertising revenue is not stable! I'm alarmed that nobody is talking about this.

I used to run an abandonware game site when I was in high school during the first dot com bubble, and we would get paid $100-300 per month from advertisements on the site, which paid for us to run it.

After the dot com bubble crashed, we were getting paid $20-30 for the same ads and more traffic. It forced us to take the site down, as we didn't have enough revenue to fund it anymore (we kept the ring up though, it's still in operation today, probably with some of my code still under it's hood: http://abandonwarering.com).

Here's my question: Let's assume this is a second bubble for the sake of my question. After that bubble crashes, if advertising revenue tanks with it, how much does that tear into the profitability of these companies that depend exclusively on advertising?

I'm not a gold bug, but I remain highly concerned about the heavy burn rates and artificially high private valuations in the industry right now. Something I've learned from experience is that if it feels too excessive, it usually is.

I suggest taking a look at Physically Based Rendering [1]. It goes through an advanced rendering system in a literate coding style. That is, the physical explanations are interspersed with the code of an open source renderer [2]. I'm not sure how it compares with this Disney renderer, but it should go a long way towards demystifying how these things work.

It sounds like what every dev has sitting somewhere in an 'utils' module.

Even if I did not already have 95% of this in my codebase, I don't know if I would use it. For many of these methods (like the launchActivity one) I would need to have a look at the code in order to check how it is coded (in the activity case, which flags they are using).

Not to mention that I think that you should own as much of your codebase as you can. There are things like EventBus, Dagger or Glide that solve complex issues and where you have to rely on the community. Caffeine is not one of these.

On a small scale I do think we have been developing new ways of expressing and communicating though. Smileys to me are a good example of this, but you can even include the 'x is typing a message' and 'read at <time>'.

While there is no universal consensus on what exactly this kind of 'information' means, within specific groups (and ages) they can convey a lot.

I've been chatting since I was fifteen or so, and to me and many people I chat with, a particular smiley, or the 'is typing' message can have a lot of meaning. I even find myself actively 'manipulating' this information at times: I might intentional start and stop typing at times as an analogue to the face-to-face act of saying 'hmm', looking away thoughtfully and not answering immediately.

I suspect all this meaning encoded in non-text things (practically speaking) is even more common among younger people.
So do you have any examples of work you have done before?

Very interesting. I think that a lot of these companies are dependent on advertizing revenue, but so is both Facebook and Google. I guess one has to see which companies are dependent upon advertizing from start-ups rather than established companies to figure out who is most vulnerable in a downturn -- although you said that overall ad rates decreased during the last correction across the board.

I wonder to what degree that would happen again. I think percentage wise it is likely to be less severe than last time, but it could still be significant.

We have no real data form Google on pre-bubble/post-bubble advertizing as they were not advertizing at that time. But it probably would be a horrible hit to them this time around -- even 30% correction would be severe.
isn't it very temporary advantage, till couple of decade back text wasn't searchable, and in couple of decades images may be equally searchable. Also pictures commonly have universal meanings.
I disagree with your premises as well as your argument.

WhatsApp, Instagram, and SnapChat are valuable because they have users. There are a million ways to monetize users once you have them, but it's hard to get them. Google, Facebook, and others are large, humming machines that squeeze money out of users, but WhatsApp, Instagram, and SnapChat are not. The latter three companies are valuable because they can be fed into the larger machines that already figured out how to monetize.

Unrelated: Uber certainly is a threat to a lot of companies (USPS, Zifty, DHL), but I can't see the Google connection. In fact, Uber and Google recently became partners.

If anything, Google is a massive, existential threat to Uber because it's working to perfect self-driving cars.
Yet you claim, "Today, only in the US and Canada, i.e. Anglo-Saxon colonies...."

The really interesting thing about QE is that we haven't really gotten inflation associated with it, at least not in any form bigger than pre-QE days.

My pet theory is that money supply and inflation no longer have much of a correlation. In fact, they might never have.
> The real reason WhatsApp were worth so much is they started to look like an existential threat to Facebook.

I know it's anecdotal, but the thing that makes WhatsApp so great for me it's that "it just works". I have it installed on my iPhone 4, and compared to Facebook's app is hundreds of miles ahead. Until 6-months or so ago the FB app needed 2-3 or minutes to actually open and redirect me to the private messages window, after I had received a notification. In one case it took 5 minutes (or even more) for the messages I was writing in the FB app to reach the person I was talking to, making for a very awkward conversation. And forget about trying to send images. In the meantime they decided to force the use the Facebook Messenger app, which cannot be installed on my phone's OS. I'm probably supposed to buy a new, expensive phone, which I would have if apps like WhatsApp hadn't existed.
If VCs lose all their money, it won't be anything new. Only a tiny fraction of VCs provide a return, after you take out the managers' fees. Large firms pump money into VCs almost charitably or as a PR thing -- they rarely expect much out of it, and their portfolios certainly aren't made or broken by their VC bets.
Spaniard here. 4 to 10 story buildings are the overwhelming majority here, in some areas it's also a matter of not altering the traditional cityscape (I think it's legislated in some municipalities, but can't give you references).

They were also easier and faster to complete by not exactly stellar construction companies, so they could be dumped into the market (and during Franco's rule, basically as high as you could go with their defective concrete), and I think a lot of my country fellows associate them with the summer town architecture and higher quality of life, while taller apartment buildings were left for lame sunday tourist Benidorm holidays.

There's really really very few people accustomed to living in tall buildings. Taller buildings were built during the construction boom, but a lot of them are vacant.
I use master slave multicore. It's simple -- only core zero is used until an app requests a spawned task on another core. All tasks on all cores can access all memory at all times -- it is all identity-mapped. thread is same as process.

No GPU (bad in a way) but enables CPU multicore graphics. I try to keep cores from writing to same areas, without lock on screen bitmap.

I think John Carmack on one of the Oculus panels was pondering, if infinite focus isn't actually an improvement over having to converge all the times. From any other mouth I'd take that as trying to rationalize a flaw of the display tech that Oculus is currently using, but Carmack isn't really known to do that.
I'd like to compare regular infinite focus tech with something like light fields, and see if it improves presence. If it doesn't improve on presence or immersion significantly, then I'd rather have relaxing infinite focus I think.
