Non-technical co-founders need to avoid this way of thinking too. It's detrimental to the personal relationship and any potential for a positive outcome.
The reasons suggested are

1. Cats are ambush predators and have a tendency to like small places they could stalk prey from

2. Cats like to go to safe places where they can be alone, when they feel uncomfortable around humans or other pets

3. Cats prefer warmer temperatures than humans, and boxes keep them warmer

It seems then that the ultimate cat box would be heated, and in a location that both lets them look at everyone else, but also feel secluded enough, like maybe up high on the wall. Or maybe a two-part heated box, one facing the room, the other more private.

I've wink winked at people about it, but never prefixed with a nudge nudge. Arguments like this are always kind of funny to me, because I can't do anything but say our intention and what we do and hope you'll believe me. Believe me or not, I don't wink and nudge people and I work as hard as I can to keep folks within that 4 day work week that we've set up.

The battles on extending days we're dealing with are things like getting pinged through HipChat because we're across 5 time zones and avoiding email at night, not forced extra work because you work from home. I'd ask some devs and designers from the team to talk about it but it's Saturday, so they're not working.

GDP per capita isn't the best measure for citizen's wealth when you don't take equality into account.

It's much better to look at median wages, I think.

As for the HDI, I have my reservations about it. It feels like one giant expression of wealth. That's bad because wealth isn't a direct measure of quality of life, it's indirect. One can be rich in a country where you have no freedom of the press or horrible gender relations or restrictions on sexual or ideological preference, for example.

Of course every metric is a function of wealth in some way, but the HDI more than others. For example, it measures education by years of education, not quality of education. The US does fine on years of education, but it hides the fact that test scores compared to the rest of the world are poor, or that the higher educational system leaves students with mountains of debt that have financial and non-financial consequences.

The second metric is income. Again, income an expression of wealth that's not a direct measure of quality of life, and again one that doesn't take into account wage-equality (and thus skews equal or even better towards countries with a very rich minority and a poor majority versus countries with a middle-class majority, while the latter is generally preferred.

And lastly Life expectancy at birth is a pretty decent metric. But even here there are plenty of more granular metrics. For example, a 22nd century medical system can keep alive much more obese and sick people. This showcases the notion that a sophisticated healthcare system can attain high life expectancy yet hide the fact that general health is in poor condition. While in countries where people die of lack of vaccinations reducing the life expectancy by a few years on average, people are otherwise much healthier.

On all these metrics the US skews more positively, I think. Income for one - the US is richer than most, but its middle class isn't. US kids get plenty of years in school, but test worse on virtually all subjects compared to their peers in other developed economies. And the US has good life expectancy, yet its healthcare system doesn't rank in the top 10, is more expensive by a wide margin and less accessible, and insane statistics like 2 out of every 3 people being overweight or obese are well known.

Actually reading further, my suspicion seems valid as they did an inequality-adjusted ranking too, one that looks at the average (median) level of development (i.e. loosely what you'd call middle class standard of living). US is at Nr 28.

But again the HDI is extremely thin in its metrics, it's only used well because it's a global UN effort and it's so easy to get metrics from every country as opposed to comparing more granular metrics for which data may not exist in tens of countries around the world. But if you compare OECD countries on granular metrics (e.g. something specific like a math test score, or teenage pregnancies), you'll find the US also ranks quite poorly.

Your last link ranks the US around nr. 20. That was kind of my point, US not on top, top 5 or even top 10, usually in the 20-30 range, but does very well given its size.

I had an offer from Fab before I decided to join else where as UI dev. I was impressed with their site. But during F2F with Jason, I didn't get proper answer for whats the plan when other online stores like Amazon joins competition.
Sure thing. Context: I'm interested in service discovery solutions (e.g. SmartStack). (Caution: loose brainstorming ahead)

Yes, I suppose I'm thinking about how they sync to one another across geography and network partitions. If I understand correctly, one of many great things about etcd over a traditional LDAP store is its chosen method of sync (RE: Two Generals' problem, they sync via Raft instead of Paxos(?)). Without botching the facts, I'll just say that after I read last year about Raft vs. Paxos, I was impressed but was forced to shelve my curiosity for another day.

To some extent, I sense a yet-to-be created but potentially very useful/marketable (open source or otherwise) product in this space somewhere (LDAP vs. etcd/Zookeeper/etc, Service Discovery and configuration management). I should definitely go back and read more about Raft and Paxos.

In the mean time, thinking more about the problem, I am also not certain how Master-Master is handled in most LDAP sync'ing schemes, though I suspect it would be Paxos.

I suppose my question is somewhat of a proxy to this one:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9014319

I am pondering seeding an LDAP cluster (non-traditional schema) from etcd (or similar). A scalable and reliable source of truth is what I'm looking for, I suppose. Would that gain me anything in the way of strict ACLs on reads? etcd does not appear "enterprise ready" in this regard. I'll have to do more research to know. My mind plays crazy tricks sometimes when reading about new tech on HN and lamenting some old tech on the job(s), so there's little accounting for that.

Another off the wall thought I had was to evaluate for value creation of an etcd-like service starting from SpiderOak's Crypton framework. In a phrase: A zero-knowledge source of truth for service discovery.

Does this exist in software development? There is always more work to do than there are people to do it (wherever I have worked). If I clearly goof off/don't work friday while others struggle to push us to our goals, I will not have a very good relationship with my team. Our team philosophy is that if you finish early, then you help others out who are struggling. I'm all for working less hours, but there would have to be a perfect storm of events to make it a regular thing, including a push from management to make it the culture.

I don't think it's fair to blame this on bean-counting or crazy managers. Many of us are salaried and don't have people scrutinizing our hours worked.

Sometimes, censorship and privacy attacks by internal actors is as big a threat as external attacks.

This is definitely a problem, and in the case of Amazon that's likely what happened, as the individual I dealt with is part of a third-party recruiting firm. In the case of Google, however, the recruiter has an @google.com email, so I'd say he's actually employed by them and it really does reflect poorly on them.
This all sounds like very good advice and like you know what you're doing. So I take it all to heart. But when you say to not focus on time, I have to assume we mean time for a given person to complete a given task? Because time-to-project-completion can not be ignored completely.

Of course, yes. Thank you. For some reason my mental picture was limited to creation and annihilation events being the exception, with most particles existing 'throughout time', but that's what's nonsense.

In fact, if you consider that a lot of particles would have presumably been created in the big bang, at which point they would conveniently be in the same location in our other three dimensions as well, it's certainly conceivable that you could have a single particle pinballing back and forth as you (and I guess Wheeler) describe.

Of course, still far from a certainty, but a neat idea.
That's kind of the million dollar question. It's always been faster than HotSpot... On Windows. And no-one cared. It'll be very interesting when people start to get some sense of the relative performance characteristics on Linux.

It's a hard problem, though. For instance, async IO is relatively faster on Windows vs sync IO. Whilst threads and processes are pretty expensive on Windows compared to Linux.

Why your business sucks
I'm curious what guarantees c++ gives on reading variables like the 'data' in his first example when it can be modified from elsewhere.

Yes, the lock will prevent concurrent access but will it prevent the compiler from optimizing away the read completely since main() was the last function that wrote to the variable. I've seen nasty optimization bugs like that happen in C with single threading and strict pointer aliasing and they are not easy to track down.

One could interpret his example program like this (unrolled and tweaked a bit).

int data = 0; //ok data is now guaranteed to be equals to 0
thread t(produce, &data); //called thread with a pointer to data so if i want to read data again i must invalidate my registers
{
lock_guard<mutex> lock(theLock);
data = 5; // i know i set data to 5 here
}
this_thread::sleep_for(chrono::milliseconds(500)); // call contains no references to data, sleep is a "pure" call
{
lock_guard<mutex> lock(theLock); // call contains no references to data
if (data == 5) // i set data to 5 myself, and i haven't done anything that could touch data since then so we optimize away this branch
cout << "data is 5";
}

Will the call to lock_guard simply disable all such kind of optimizations? Or are you required to write memory barriers yourself in some way? I guess a simple way to look at it would be that the compiler assumes that thread will keep the pointer to data and that lock_guard has access to that pointer behind the scenes somehow, so that acquiring the mutex "invalidates" your last write, but that would mean acquiring any mutex would invalidate all variables as the mutex doesn't specify which data-sets it is locking. Am i thinking correctly? Where can i find more information regarding this.

in actionscript? I haven't worked with it for a while but I don't think so. Even if it was possible I wouldn't want yet another layer of abstraction to compile to html.

it's not the graphical authoring environment that really matters. I just prefer the OOP style of AS3 to Javascript.

Open standards are great and all, but the result is that we've had to wait years just for html to catch up to where flash was.
The reason you can access most online video content via youtube-dl is that historically speaking, YouTube and most other Flash-based video players actually had no DRM at all. Flash's DRM support was crappy, unreliable and expensive to license and few places used it. I think I've literally come across one site that used their proper DRM, at which point I discovered it didn't actually work on my PC. (A handful more use RTMPE, which is hilariously broken but enough to block youtube-dl out the box.) DRM's becoming a lot easier with HTML5, and a bunch of sites that didn't previously have robust DRM are now planning to start using it.
Well, yes, because git repo > source release so it's clearly not equal.
